No, the Islamic State is not actually beheading people on the Glazov Gang (yet). This week’s Glazov Gang is just focused on that topic — why the Islamic State beheads. Yes, it’s in the Qur’an (47:4), but there’s more. On this show, the Redoubtable Russian was joined by Dawn Perlmutter, the Director of the Symbol Intelligence Group and one of the leading subject matter experts (SME) in symbols, symbolic methodologies, unfamiliar customs and ritualistic crimes. She designed and developed Jihad-ID, a symbolic database of the signs, symbols and identifiers of global jihad.
Ms. Perlmutter takes viewers into the dark world of jihad’s key tactic and signature. She also discussed how beheading raises the Islamic State’s street cred, the fear of naming the enemy, beheading videos as a propaganda tool, and much, much more:

I think Obama is dissing the U.S. and genuflecting to ISIS knowing full well what he is doing, namely delivering The U.S.A. to Islam on a plate. He is dancing a macabre Pas de Deux with not only ISIS, but the Ummah, universal nation of Islam. His pretence is to fool American citizens that he is somehow acting in their interest. But it is clear and in plain sight that he is not, this is classic taqiyya from Ed Moham himself. Obama is doing all of this so he can gain immortal notoriety in the Islamic world as second only to The Prophet himself. He is coming out of the sun “twelve o’clock high” but if you squint your eyes, you know who and what he is. A clear and present danger.

Very instructive, but missed a big opportunity. In more than 20 minutes, Dawn Perlmutter only gave one specific example of the Administration’s mistakes that I remember: retweeting the beheadings with the State Department’s emblem. This is in contrast with a body language expert on Fox, years ago, interpreting Sarah Palin’s joy and combativeness during the speech she gave at her vice presidential nomination. The body language expert gave memorable specific examples and was only on the air for a few minutes.

I disagree with Dawn Perlmutter that islamic beaheadings is ongoing since 2004. Infact it has been ongoing ever since the seventh century. India has been experiencing beaheadings of millions of Hindus and Buddhists for well over a thousand years ever since the Islamic invaders first came to India sometime in the 9th century and till the last century. Thank God that India and the world are more aware now and it has been contained somewhat. However the islamic culture is evident everywhere and people need to be aware.
