It is interesting, isn't it?

Isn't it interesting how the Muslims always cover their faces when committing their atrocities? If they're so sure that they're doing good deeds and performing Allah's commands, then why do they cover their faces in ski masks like cowards?

Why is it that every film I've seen of the beheadings of innocent people, the Muslims always have their faces covered in ski masks? Shouldn't they be proud of their religion? Or are they actually ashamed of their barbaric behavior? Or could it be that they fear retaliation if we can see their faces and hunt them down? And if that's the case, then why be so cowardly? Isn't that what they want? To die in battle against the infidels?

They should be happy to show their faces and help us hunt them down so we can help send them to Allah and his 72 virgins-in-waiting. So, Muslims reading this...here is my new challenge (since you cannot respond to my earlier one). Tell me why Muslims hide their faces when the commit their atrocities. Give me a sane, thoughtful, logical reason. Thrill me.
