Survivors reveal how gunman executed non-Muslims - after asking them to name Prophet Mohammed's mother

Murder is murder, horror is horror, terror is terror... but my liberal ethical sense is particularly horrified by this. It is so "Handmaid's Tale"... so Calvin's Geneva... so Inquisitional.

Isojoki. (The J is pronounced as a Y.)

I'd be toast. Probably.

Maybe I should say Bruunhilde instead. What do you think?

Bruunhilde - Arthur Rackham.
