Is the person half headless or half bodiless?

The optimist would say the latter, the pessimist would say the former.  Think of it as the gruesome variation on the "Glass Half Empty/Half Full" bromide.

And even more grotesquely, optimists like Sam Harris and Frank Gaffney and Bill Maher -- in trusting their better halves Maajid Nawaz, Zuhdi Jasser and Asra Nomani, respectively -- put their trust in lying snakes who pretend to be horrified at the very things which their sainted "best model of all conduct", Muhammad, preached and practiced.

Excellent, and to the point.

Thanks again, Richard and DP111. Yes, to me the problem shifts in terms of fascination past the Problem of the Problem (why the mainstream so gullibly swallows the propaganda of Moderate Muslims) to the tertiary Problem of the Problem of the Problem -- why so many in the Counter-Jihad become strangely enervated (if not positively supportive) when in the presence of these Better Cop Muslims like Maajid Nawaz, Zuhdi Jasser, Irshad Manji, and Irshad Manji.

One also sees, more and more, an interesting parallel phenomenon -- where PC MC supporters of Good Cop Muslims (and, by extension, of Muslims in general) vilify these the Better Cop Muslims and their Counter-Jihad supporters -- thus interestingly reinforcing their "counter-jihad street cred", for the likes of Maajid Nawaz and Sam Harris can say (and actually have said), "Hey look, we're being called 'Islamophobic' by these 'regressive Leftists' and their 'Uncle Tom' Muslim allies -- we must be doing something right, eh...!?" Etc. One is tempted to suspect direct conscious collusion here between the Good Cops and the Better Cops (a collusion utterly unknown to their non-Muslim supporters, needless to say).

Your points commentary and analysis are fine.

Be great if you could not post gruesome pics like that at least not without some kind of warning or click-through or 'below the fold' or something. Not needed to make your point.

I disagree with you about Hesp using photographs like that of the beheaded woman without warning.

I don't know whether this poor woman was beheaded by Muslims, was or wasn't Muslim herself, or if she was the victim of - say - a South American drug cartel. We need shocking into a realisation of what it means when a news service reports euphemises that someone was "executed by militants". It is bloody, it is cruel, it is appalling - and whatever the origins of this particular photograph and this poor victim - it is something that Muslims do and that Islamic Scripture commands.

I deliberately seek out online video footage of Muslim atrocities, particularly Islamic State videos, specifically to remind myself of the utter vileness of Islam and of Muslims who at the very best silently assent to these abominations.

We should not hide from these things. These things now happen every day. I live in Northern England. In a town near my home is an impromptu memorial to Alan Henning, a local taxi-driver duped by local Muslims into going to Syria to do charity work and there beheaded by the Islamic State. I work near a University where a visiting student was stabbed to death by an Arab Muslim who had minutes earlier been witnessed reading and reciting from the Koran.

These Islamic murders are very real and we should not wish to have them or their like hidden from our eyes. We need to realise that this is Islam pure and this is what Muslims support by venerating Muhammad.

I would defend my use of such ghoulish pictures (and this is only the second time I've done it in ten years and over 1,000 posts) this way: Only those who support total deportation of all Muslims have a right to object to such photos.

Although the photo is terribly sad, the reality is sadder. Someday soon, we WILL literally see such bodies on our streets!

Twenty years ago, my sister had a Peruvian boyfriend who had to leave his car to move a dead HUMAN body to the side of the road so that he could drive.

Now days, that would be a booby trap to cause others to stop and be robbed, kidnapped, and/or murdered.

People need to know the stakes!

We already have it. Remember Lee Rigby - a loyal soldier of the realm of HM Queen Elizabeth, slaughtered by two Muslims. The two were probably living on Benefits, as I cant see them employed in any job except the most menial.

The BBC and the media tried to first hide, then obfuscate the magnitude of the crime.
What crime? An act of war committed by a soldier of allah against the realm of her majesty.

If we had been living in any self respecting age, then this would have been treated as an act of war, and all soldiers of allah, that is Muslims, would have banished.

Egghead said...

Yes, of course. You are correct. What happened to Lee Rigby serves as a terrible warning to us all.
