Why Do They Keep Stabbing Us In The Neck?

We had another beautiful person ripped from our nation by evil today. There have been so many.
Hadar Buchris, 21, from Tsfat, was murdered today by an Arab who stabbed her in the head or neck.
Have you wondered why quite so many of the recent attacks strike at the neck or above? It’s actually quite a tricky thing to do, stabbing in the body is easier.
Have you also wondered why the preferred ISIS method of execution is beheading?
Have you wondered why this is also the case for the Islamic state of Saudi Arabia?
Don’t worry, however, there is a different method for homosexuals: they get to be thrown from heights (mountain cliffs or more recently tall buildings will do, they aren’t completely bound by tradition).
Here’s the answer. Quran 47:4. If you follow the link you can read all the many different translations which don’t differ in substance.
Quran 47:4 Strike at their necks
There are apologists and would be reformers who’ll claim this shouldn’t apply. That would be nice, but our daily experience here in Israel seems to indicate that there are many, many pious Muslims who believe the many, many Imams who regularly remind them of this instruction.
English text:
Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah’s Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah,- He will never let their deeds be lost.
There is a chance I might be wrong about the specific verse. It might Quran 8:12 instead:
Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): “I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them.”
