talking to a friend on the conspiratorial tip the other day, he noted some things about the berg video that intrigued me...but not enough that i'm interested in looking at it myself. so for those who have looked at it:
1. is it true that one of the murderers wears a gold ring on his left hand?
2. is it true that no blood appears (or very little) during the beheading?
3. is it true that there is a skip in the video?
if even the first question is true then this raises flags (and again shows how much we don't know about Islam and Arab culture in general). Because historically the left hand was used to wipe one's self NOTHING adorns it. This is why in many cultures (including some African American subcultures) it is a sign of disrespect to shake hands with the left. Even if fundamentalist Islam promotes wearing jewelry (I'm not sure it does) there's no way in hell it'd be worn on the left hand.
