On the one hand, brutality dictating good taste is utterly abominable and entirely unacceptable. This, I'd hope, would earn 100% approval ratings as far as the comment goes.
However, we're also talking the state that invented the modern use of bloodshed for political purposes as far back as the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror in 1792. In one sense, one could actually say the Islamists are aping the France of Robespierre aiming to see if the France of Hollande will act like the USA of George "Mission Accomplished" Bush. Since we are talking France, it's a fifty-fifty bet.
