Al Qaeda Using Beheading Images for Recruitment & Propaganda

zarqawi_propaganda_beheading.jpgEarlier we brought you the story of how al Qaeda in Iraq was planning to launch a new website, but before the website got off the ground it got hacked. Luckily, some enterprising hackers took the time to cache the website. While checking surfing through the al Qaeda site, I came across this image on their video upload page.

As you can see, the image is one of a bloody knife and a man holding up a severed head. These guys are now designing logos graphic art with a decapitation theme. Sick. Next we'll learn they've taken out a copyright for all things headless.

Do you need any more evidence of the death cult of terrorism or are you still suffering under the delusion that these people can be dealt with in a rational manner?

Also of note is the fact that it is an American based company based in Atlanta Georgia who was hosting the al Qaeda site.

UPDATE: Check out Interested Participants comments.

I'm no expert, but it seems that about the only other groups since the dawn of civilization who considered severed heads to be desirable trophies were primitive tribes in the tropics of South America, Africa, and some South Pacific Islands. The practice alone indicates a primitive mentality that honors only barbarism. This uncivilized worship of the severed head has arguably been best encapsulated and illustrated by the fiction of William Golding in Lord Of The Flies. In the novel, an isolated society ruled by thugs worships the severed head of a pig.
