Pearl said "I am Jewish. My mother is Jewish", then his throat was cut, and then he was beheaded. Judaism is inherited on the maternal side, of course. The manner in which he was killed mirrored the standard Islamic animal sacrifice, in which a sheep or goat has its throat cut, and then its head cut off. The message here seems to be "Here is what happens to Jews who work against Islam." Whether being a WSJ reporter is anti-Islamic enough or whether there is in fact an intelligence connection remains to be seen. While all of this is very tough shit for Mr. Pearl, life is cheap in Islamic societies, and there is a huge amount of hypocrisy in Shrub railing against the alleged human rights violations by the Taliban, while people in Saudi Arabia, our great partner in the war against "Terrorism", get their heads chopped off for "sorcery." Mr. Pearl's last moments, coming soon to alt.binaries.pictures.tasteless, no doubt. Well, at least it isn't child porn. -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:.
