why BEheaded?
why is having your head chopped off called be-headed?
wouldn't be-headed mean you gain another head or you have a head put there if you had no head?
shouldn't it be de-headed?
you de-claw a cat.
you de-tail a scorpion or a shrimp.
you de-vein a shrimp.
it means you remove those parts
if a head is being removed the term should be deheaded not beheaded.
okay, thanx fer letting me get that out...
Hi Tom,
Why turn this thread frivolous?
People may continue to think that beheading a man is as in the movies ..., a quick job with an axe. It is not, (remember the guillotine)
Samuel was probably lying on the ground with stab wounds, and conscious when the attacker got down and hacked away little pieces of flesh and chord and tubing before he lost consciousness.

The attacker deserved all he got. The French Government did the correct thing shoot and kill the attacker and this is what all world governments should do, don't capture and question these terrorists, just shoot them dead. After all do terrorists question their victims before murdering them???
So shooting down attacker -- will STOP terrorists?
Or, as they say ..., Jihad being a quick passage to Heavenly Glory; will not quick death by bullets encourage more of the rank and file Muslims to join up in Jihad?

Don't mistake me Terry; but the assailant was 18 years old and in my view at 18 - we all sought instant gratifications. So one way to view this is as: 18 year old's world over need to learn that to 'behead' a man means one rots in jail forever
Another view is: what makes educators like Samuel dis-respect Islam?
Arresting the attacker and taking him through the courtrooms would have explained to all of us where we are going wrong.
