Forensic Analysis Would Be Required to Determine 'Blunt Force,' 'Sharp Force,' Trauma; Depends Upon Which Weapon Deployed

Reader comment on item: The Rushdie Fatwa 25 Years Later
in response to reader comment: Tovey: Hit/Beat or Strike?

This observer will plead ignorance on which means or methodology would be necessary to carry out a fatwa directed attack upon an individual, never having been trained militarily in the use of weapons, and only having an American citizen's knowledge of 2nd amendment rights to protect one's self from the barbarism of an out of control attacker, whether criminal or otherwise.
Employing 'insider' knowledge of technique in performing acts of Quranic terror escapes the typical imagery of a normal denizen living under the umbrella of freedom, something that seems to be getting lost in an America in which the practice of peaceseeking individuals appears to be under gross attack in normal circumstances, but even more egregiously so when living under threat of hatred induced and rationally incomprehensible thoughts of darkened desires against any peaceseeking peoples and societies.
As is being argued in the United States and elsewhere, the lexicon of normal vocabularies is under attack, as words are being redefined because the 'touchiness' of evil thoughts cannot be self imposed in a society that is bent upon self destruction but lives for the delusion instead while heading for oblivion.
While being beaten, hit, or struck with the blunt edge of a blade, its reverse sharp edge, or at the point of 158 grain copper-coated projectile speeding at 950 feet per second, its release is dependent upon the intention of the perpetrator whose purpose is to destroy that for which the hatred is born; for the inanimate nature of the weapon, in spite of the attempt to blame the tool of hatred for its imposition, does not absorb the evil that is premeditatively released and the consequences are directed to the perpetrator of the evil intended.
As has been demonstrated by you in such Quranic interpretations, there appears to be a choice of execution.
