Iraq War Beheadings

In 2004 and 2005, Iraq War beheadings were the insurgent’s choice weapon of terror. However, there was a large out cry about the beheadings by the Iraqi insurgents and even Al Qaeda started to speak out against these decapitations.

The beheadings performed by the insurgents were designed to strike terror into the hearts of the Iraqis and coalition forces. No one was immune to these beheadings.

Men, women and children were beheaded for speaking out against the insurgents. But some of this was never reported by the media. They do not mind telling the American people about the times the American military kills women and children. But when the insurgents kill women and children by beheading them, they do not report this.

However, the beheadings had the opposite affect. The enraged the Iraqi people. Even members of Al Qaeda said they had to stop. And they did stop.

The TV station Aljazeera was broadcasting these beheadings. But today even Aljazeera has stopped showing these. The beheadings are not helping the cause of the insurgents.

I have looked at several sites on the internet about beheadings, but they show nothing. Usually these lead to some sort of ad, usually sexual in nature. I guess to some people there is nothing too sacred not to make a buck off of.
