It seems to me that it definitely is satanic, although one could argue that all murders are of the devil. I think there's something to certain types of murders that have a ritualistic aspect to them which puts them in a different category than murders that are perpetrated using other methods.
And as far as my use of the word "orchestrated," I didn't mean to imply that I thought there were beheading schools or something with students graduating by committing these heinous crimes.
Considering the fact that the Muslims have distinguished themselves as being particularly fond of this type of attack against the "infidel," it stood out to me ... also the fact that the reports of these crimes are often so lacking in significant details about the motive, the perpetrator and the details of the crime.
We don't have television. The news I hear about is just what I read from various news sites occasionally. I'm not keeping up with all the murders, rapes and other types of violent crimes going on here and abroad. I haven't made a comparison study of these murders versus others.
