Why Nothing Short of Complete Victory Is Appropriate

The history of al-Qaeda's use of torture is horrifyingly complete, and this account from the September 26, 2013 U.K. Daily Mail just fits right in:

Soldiers told of the horrific torture meted out by terrorists in the Nairobi mall massacre yesterday with claims hostages were dismembered, had their eyes gouged out and were left hanging from hooks in the ceiling.

Men were said to have been castrated and had fingers removed with pliers before being blinded and hanged. 

Children were found dead in the food court fridges with knives still embedded in their bodies, it was claimed.

It gets worse.

It really does behoove you to know that Mohammed's mother was Aminah bint Wahb, because the fine fellows who did these things would use this fact as evidence that you were a Muslim, and let you go.  Obviously, this crowd is not representative of Islam, but I will be a lot happier when I cease to see excuses being made by Muslims for this bunch.

Some U.S. newspapers are reporting this story, but most?  They are probably afraid of creating negative perceptions of al-Qaeda.
