General News 3rd beheading by Islamic State

Also that all the execution videos look the same--is it the same one guy committing all the executions? How does that work? Maybe they're more organized than I think...

 

Yes - David Haine, 44 year old British man - and another British man is being threatened with the same fate. I suspect this is the only motivation the UK government needs to ensue air strikes in Iraq - it's being refraining until now to try and avoid a situation like this. Things change when it's your own people being executed.

It's also nice to see the Muslim community in the UK openly speaking against IS - contrary to belief that they don't care. They're really despised by everyone.

 

Unfortunately the only thing we seem to be able to do is catch them or starve them out. We cannot and simply should not bargain with them by paying ransoms as it would only make them stronger and allow them to commit violence.

It makes me so angry and upset that I could cry though. The people they are killing are complete innocents, journalists and aid workers who were only in the country to try to do some good. And the killers do not even have the decency to give them a quick death, and are too cowardice to even show their own faces whilst killing completely defenseless people. They are pathetic scum. Less than human.

 

Horrible.

Meanwhile in Saudi Arabia, there have been at least 19 beheadings in August..

The difference being that IS has better PR to portray them in the most 'Islamic' (read evil) light. Sure what they do is completely wrong. But before we see them as the complete evil which has to be completely eradicated at all costs, remember that that's only going to result in more deaths and horrors. Maybe the world will be able to destroy them without too much bloodshed and oppression, but be prepared that in the end a deal might have to be struck with them. After all, the West also has deals with states like Saudi Arabia.

'PR' reasons. If they kill all hostages in one day, they're only on the news once. If they do it every day, it'll stop becoming news too after some time. If they do it every two weeks, there's time for everyone to 'forget' the previous murder and it becomes big news again.

:icon_sad:

EDIT: In case you wondered why they really wish to make the West angry at them.. They've been at war with other Muslims to increase their territory and have been killing other Muslims, which isn't a very pious thing to do for an 'Islamic' state. So to draw attention away from that, they want to show that they're fighting the 'immoral' West. If the West starts bombing them they can show even more that they're fighting the good fight.

 

It is digusting that is all I have to say. What really did it for me was this little girl not older than 6 was beheaded.

Truly and utterly appalling

 

IS have killed thousands and thousands of people. I'm truly sorry that another westerner has been beheaded, but it's nothing compared to the rest of the carnage. We shouldn't lose sight of that when sounding the war cries because they hit a little too close to home.

 

Can I just say that I am ashamed. For the first time in my entire life I am ashamed of Britain. Not just Britain, I am ashamed of the developed world. For once we have the oportinity to go to war for all the right reasons, not for oil, not for greed, not for more power, we have the oportinity to fight for what is right. We have the power to crush this Evil and we are not using it. You show the pictures of beheaded children to our soldiers and I think they would agree with me, I think they would want the opotunity to put a stop to this.

So far ISIS have had it easy, they have fought some tribal militia and some soldiers who lacked the training of a propper army. Well I say its about bloody time that we show the world that the British Lion still has claws and that they can be bloody sharp!

Lets see how well ISIS fares agains the full might of the British armed forces, lets see how well they fare against people who are fucking sick of sitting back and watching their vile spread, Lets see how they fare against soldiers who would rather die in a hail of bullets than surrender to a bunch of child murdering bastards. Not just Britain either, we as the developed world have a duty to not sit idly by and watch this evil happen unchecked.

 

You see i know alot of nice Muslims i guess. They always say the ones committing the crimes are the bad ones and they are small groups in certain areas. Yet i hear a murder or beheading or some crime committed in the name of Islam at least once a week, after hearing that another extremist terrorist group commits another crime in an area thought to have nice Muslims what am i to believe? Just this week a Islamic extremist group in CHINA were put to death for killing 31! people. I didn't see that one coming! And even the so called nice Muslims who don't commit the crimes if you get into theirs heads they are SUPPORTING the ones who commit the crimes like saints of Islam they just aren't brave enough to do it themselves!

BTW they are Not ISIS anymore just IS now

 

I believe that most large muslim groups in the UK are speaking out quite strongly against IS. Those that are speaking out are the ones smart enough to see that these actions can only spark violence against muslims everywhere else.

'Islamic State' is a slur on our faith, say leading Muslims | World news | The Observer

 

I know that already, I live in a country with 10 percent Muslims, i have no prejudices against them but how are they supposed to shine if the slurs on their religion are causing trouble.

 

ISIS is a threat that actually does need to be addressed, they have specifically threatened the U.S and it's allies, including Canada.

A lot of Canadians have been radicalized here, and gone over there to fight. Even a CHRISTIAN EUROPEAN ETHNICITY kid joined from Canada.

Australia just recently raised their terror threat level to likely, and Europe is bracing for something to happen.

I really do hope all our intelligence agencies are doing their best to intercept anything plotted.

It's times like these that the Patriotic Act, and the Anti-Terrorism legislation in Canada come in handy.

 

It is horrible to see that another extremist group has risen up and has caused so many horrifying crimes.

I do hope that this is resolved as soon as possible

 

You should be prime minister! XD

I whole heartedly agree, i dont like war but this is something which needs to be fought, attack them with all our strength! We have specialist forces for things like this, why havent we used them?! ISIS are twisted, fucked up people who need to die. Period.

 

Forget about oil, man. This is a reason to go to war. ISIS is a huge danger to every person in the Iraq/Syria area and they will get even worse if nobody tries to stop them. I don't care who, but these horrible people need to be stopped.

They have killed Christians and Shia Muslims, they beheaded people, they're actually trying to make Sunni Muslims fight for them... The list of ISIS' s atrocities goes on.

 

The middle east needs to be stabilized no matter what and it would actually benefit the Middle East if the US and Europe take charge of those countries because no Middle East leader has proven to be a asset to their country. It does not matter how many times we stabilize these countries something always goes wrong. I know this is not a popular opinion but if you look at history and how it keeps repeating it self the Middle East has never been stable for long.

 

Please correct me if I am wrong but wasn't he British? Well I hope that this is enough to guarantee the involvement of Britain, in the battle against ISIS, this Barbadian group is challenging not only the US but Britain. Hopefully these people are taken down and punished to the fullest extent of the law, I mean I don't think that ground troops are the way to go, I think that we should be using our air power. That is a relatively safe way to combat ISIS. I don't think you can compare the destruction of 50 unmanned drones to the lives of hundreds or thousands of British, and American men and women.

 

I'm hoping they can try to eliminate ISIS but I would rather they did nothing if it would result in another Iraq scenario.
