Am I seeing correctly...?

5. Which raistes the question -which locality?- the ME or the US & England?

THe English speaking throat-cutters seem to speak English like native-speakers...which suggests they could be known in their home countries.

American police also wear balaclava's, as part of presenting an intimidating, possibly ninja-like, appearance. And terror/intimidation seems to be part of the purpose of the throat-cutting. So it could be part of the costuming for the made for video events.

Making that difficult is common sense.

9. If you are running around slaughtering people, beheading people

terrorizing people...you may not want to be recognized on the street. If I were living over there and "recognized" one of those fundamental extremists, I'd definitely be in fear of my life and I would strike first. or at least try to.

10. They fear retribution.
