Is this now a common occurence
 

Guess we just get used to this ?

"A short video released by ISIS on Friday shows the apparent beheading of British aid worker Alan Henning.

Before he is killed, Henning speaks to the camera, referencing the British Parliament's decision to join the bombing campaign against ISIS. At the end of the video, ISIS shows an American aid worker, Peter Kassig, and threatens his life.

There is no reason to believe that the video is not authentic, a U.S. intelligence official told CNN, adding that U.S. officials are studying it."

Sadly, I think the answer is yes. ISIL is nothing more than a group of attention-seeking bullies and will do whatever it takes to get that attention.

So far, the ISIS terrorists have executed civilians. If there are the " boots on the ground" that some are saying is necessary, I think any soldier who is captured - and that would happen - would be executed on film and be shown worldwide to act as a deterrent to anymore armed actions against ISIS.
