UPDATE: US announced 14 air strikes after release of the video of James Foley's execution

Don't know what ISIS is? Click here

Here's a link that's safe.
http://www.cnn.com/2014/08/19/world/meast/isis-james-foley/
ISIS beheads US journalist James Foley as a threat to America. They want the execution to be a threat to make the US cease military operations.

His final words before being beheaded
"I wish I had more time. I wish I could have the hope for freedom to see my family once again"

Here's the video without the beheading. (NSFW)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grb_HHBGhoU


Here's the video with the beheading (NSFW)(NSFL)
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=bc1_1408481278

Script of the video


Steven Sotloff is another journalist captured by ISIS militants. ISIS threatened that he's next if the US does not cease intervention.
Do you believe this video is actually going to dent military operations or increase further US military involvement?

Time to re-institute Guantanamo Bay style punishments for terrorists and more, especially the electrocutions. We need to grab some of the ISIS militants and shock them good.

i must admit they executed him with dignity and it was very clean, i was not expecting that. further more his last words were not too far from the truth on how America does things now.

as for the ISIS member, he spoke great English, i was about to say he either studied at a College in America or the UK. great tactic really. study your enemy in their own country.

Let's remember why they are doing all of this....

Because they believe their god commands them to do so....that their god is not only real but the one true god and everyone else...EVERYONE except themselves are wrong and deserve death if they don't join their side.

Several people from London, France, Africa, and US have actually immigrated to the Middle East for ISIS. A year ago a British soldier was beheaded on the streets by two men, both were Christians that had converted to Islam.

During the British occupation of India, there was a practice of widows being burned alive, called Sati. The British authorities rightfully outlawed this horrible practice. One day, a couple of Hindu priests came to Charles James Napier, the Commander-in-Chief of India, and complained about the ban on Sati, claiming that it was a long-standing and important cultural practice. His response:

Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs.

America should have a similar policy to captured and convicted terrorists. We should hang them, and then dunk their bodies in pig-fat, and then cremate them and dump the ashes in a trash-heap. If the Muslim extremist uses his religion as an excuse, then we should use the tools of his religion against him and desecrate his body so that he can find no salvation.

So, you would anger an entire faith to stop the most extreme portion of said faith?

Hmm...let me try this out.

We should castrate and then rape with sharp objects ALL catholic priests who raped little boys.....which by my count is a SHIT LOAD of catholic priests.

Now how do you think regular catholics would react to that?

I personally might hate ALL religion to the core, but even I wouldn't want to inflict something so horrible on any religion because I know that A) it's inhumane, regardless of what they've done....and B) it would just make moderates turn into extremists.

So what should be done?

I'll be frank and say I don't know, because even with ALL the horrific stuff I keep hearing about this group, I am very conflicted about the U.S having ANY involvement on this whatsoever.

well I haven't heard that kind of news happening here in my country only those rare cases of priests having intimate relationships with women which I personally think is not that big of a deal since they're also men. But fucking little boys earns a one-way ticket to hell for me.

If a Christian extremist cult were engaging in terrorism, and had strong beliefs concerning the treatment of their corpses, and the response by a Muslim country they were terrorizing was to desecrate the corpse of said terrorist as a deterrent against said terrorism, would I be angry, or outraged?

Nope.

I'd applaud them. Because the truth is that God doesn't care one way or another about your corpse. But they do care, and if hurting them stops their terrorism, then I'll hurt them. And if desecrating their body makes their "martyrdom" useless, then I'll desecrate their corpse. And if moderate Muslims grow angry, then I'll ask them:

"So you're more angry about what I do with the body of a murderer than the murder?"


We should castrate and then rape with sharp objects ALL catholic priests who raped little boys.....which by my count is a SHIT LOAD of catholic priests.

Now how do you think regular catholics would react to that?

I think we should hang child molesters. I don't think we should torture them, because torture is wrong. Just like I don't think we should torture terrorists. But we should sure as shit hang their asses. And we should sure as shit let them know that being a terrorist means going to hell, one way or another.



I am very conflicted about the U.S having ANY involvement on this whatsoever.

Normally, I would be too. However:

1) They just beheaded an American citizen.
and
2) We can't just abandon Iraq. We fucked it up, we need to fix it.

Islamic scriptures like the Quran do not explicitly encourage or promote acts of terrorism. It is usually the misinterpretation of religious scripture by extremists, that leads them to commit violence in the name of God or religion. And the motives are usually never for religious purposes and religion is usually only brought up to justify their actions and as most non-Muslim majority countries are ignorant about Islam just as much as say Hinduism (a pretty popular name, but most don't know what it is just like Islam), people would eat it up that that is what the religion teaches and shall be careful blaming without offend religious groups. The only terrorists that do it for religion and don't use religion as an excuse are individual terrorists and most of the time they usually have a background of some sort of psychiatric disorders, "normal" terror organizations always has some sort of agenda that does not include religion, may it be political, power or money, trying to spread awareness of their or their neighbor country's struggle that no one seems to care to interfere in, they always has that agenda, no well-organized religious terror group do it solely on religion, that's just a misconception from the media that people tend to believe in.

Don't worry, it should have been removed from Youtube by now and I'm too lazy to look for other video portals/online sources or to even go to the deep web in case it would be needed.
Besides, I don't like watching propaganda material.

1) To me it seems like a sacrifice to manipulate influence the masses against a common enemy.
2) Yes you can. It might even help with everything: the US-economy, the safety of the USA and the stability of the region.

-1 since you can't know who is considered a "terrorist" in the future. Have fun living in a potential dictatorship if this goes on like that.

Read again, there are two options mentioned. Well, it's partly my fault for writing "video portals" instead of "other (video) sources" in general or not explicitly including them with (normal) video portals.

Why did the American who got beheaded throw his everybody under the bus?

He's the one who decided to go that war-torn hellhole, is he not? If Obama or his brother in the air force drugged him and then dropped him there, I'll take back my words.

I dont understand why he thinks he'd be safe in a place run by what his nation's government designates as a terrorist outfit.

The 2nd guy is possibly already dead right now as we speak. There is no need for the terrorists to keep him alive. All they need to do is to record his murder, release it on the internet when the bombings continue, and claim that they killed him "just now"

Besides, even if they don't kill him, there is no way in hell that they'll release him either and he would most likely be tortured for as long as he lives.

They forced him to say negative things about the US during the execution. They probably didn't want the video to record him say things like "I take that back" or "God help me" once he realized that he's going to die

While I share your sentiments of dismay and anger at the inhuman behavior displayed by these ISIS thugs, I think you let your emotions sway you a bit too much when you posted the above. There is no need to stoop to the level of ISIS, a quick clean death and disposal with dignity is sufficient treatment for our enemies.

Agreed it's not an easy subject. I believe that the US government must do what is best for Americans even if that means taking the fight to our enemies. But we also need to know when to cut our losses in order to protect our best interests as well. Iraq is much, much worse now after our intervention there than it was 15 years ago. It may be time for us to just let the situation play out without our involvement and see if we can come to some sort of terms with whoever eventually wrests control of that region.

I'm not a US citizen, but I still think it would be wise for the US to aid certain parties when they can. The problem with intervention comes when they are more focused on their profit (oil really has the world by the balls), rather than the welfare of the people.

As for the treatment of the terrorists, that is a whole other issue to itself. Kill them cleanly and they become martyrs and even more emboldened. Sometimes weakening morale is more effective than simply taking lives.
