Our government is in the process of verifying if the video is authentic. I didn't link to the video because if someone decides they want to watch it, they can easily do a google search. These people are the worst of the worst.

NEW YORK TIMES NEWSPAPER on beheading of journalist James Foley who was from New Hampshire


Youtube had the videos on last evening........many of them.
So sad for his family.


These beheadings are nothing new to these barbaric people.
Aljazeera online Arabic version has photos of the beheading of a general. Also a very long list of beheadings all over the Islamic world......it is very very very barbaric & very shocking to say the least. This is what they do.


Last evening on Youtube they showed (after the two speeches of both the victim & the brute murderer) the guy in black stepping behind our journalist from New Hampshire & putting the knife to his front throat..........very gruesome. Americans should see this so they know what we are up against. Later, he was laying on the ground, the head part covered with a cloth.


With the general (Youtube & Aljazeera Arabic online), they put his head by his legs. To see the blood on the ground was fearful & horrendous.........but Americans cannot have their heads in the sand regarding what is happening in the middle east; especially with threats to our homeland.


Why all the secrecy? The guy in black made a direct threat to our president. For all we know, they could very well already have sleeper cells in this country............at universities, in cities, etc., in mosques.

Second journalist went to University of Central Florida


The Islamic State insurgent group is threatening to behead a journalist identified as Steven Joel Sotloff, who attended the University of Central Florida as a journalism major from 2002-04.


The group battling for control of Iraq released a gruesome video Tuesday purporting to show American journalist James Foley being beheaded. Another man, identified as Sotloff, also appears in the video. Both Sotloff and Foley disappeared while covering the war in Syria.


Sotloff worked for Time magazine and other news organizations and disappeared in Syria last August. His last tweet on his Twitter page is from Aug. 3, 2013. His Twitter profile says he is a "stand-up philosopher from Miami. Currently in Libya."

I won't watch it, I'm disgusted by ISIS's actions. I know that if James Foley was a family member or friend of mine I wouldn't want it on yotube along with music videos and other "entertainment"

I don't know, watching it just seems wrong.

As usual Patty, you got it right!

[graciegirl]

I can't even think about it. It is not something I ever expected to know happened in this world.

It is so awful that my mind can't handle it.

They are butchers that need to be stopped before they reach our shores and unleash their hatred on us. They said they will not stop till their flag flies over our White House.

A video was sent to me by a US special forces Sgt. currently serving in Japan, of isis executing more people than I can count, by gunfire to the head. Leaving them in ditches or dumping them into water. This is Satan exposed in his essence, unusual in that normally he comes in deceit, lying or disguise.
And we can't figure out what happened to our lovely American culture, degraded by invisible degrees.

Were all these gruesome details really necessary??

Me too, and I can't even imagine going to you tube and watching that.

I agree with you, Bogie. We are all familiar with how to use Google and can do our own searching if we want.

This is the reality of the world we live in. I'd like to run away too, but hiding our heads in the sand is hiding our heads in the sand.
Evil is not going away for quite some time. In my view the United States of America has no special place to hide from a practical nor from a spiritual viewpoint. Perhaps two generations ago we could've claimed that position, but no longer.

I can understand not watching to protect oneself, but do be cautious whether ignoring what is becoming the norm in our world is self protective or choosing to remain ignorant and thereby taking no action.

No, evil is not going to go away, but that doesn't mean we have to, or should, watch it happen. Reading that it happened is enough to keep my head out of the sand. Just my opinion.

HORRIBLE: ISIS murders 1500 POWs in a brutal display of violence (NSFW) � The Right Scoop -

Don't watch this horribly brutal video. We are concerned and upset about one American journalist. This is a video of hundreds being slaughtered in a few minutes time. Don't watch it.

[Rags123]

Trying to be diplomatic here, but WHERE was all of this anger when thousands of children were being killed in the streets of Syria...there was NONE. A thread was begun on here quite sometime ago about the situation in Syria and was basically ignored.

Please...

Not one comment made to that thread.

A number of conversations did ensue outside this thread but all were just politics.

Please also check to determine where ISIS got its beginnng and strength

[billethkid]

there was a time when we would have not stood by and just be in a reactive mode....a time sorely missed by many of us.

This enemy is so easy to defeat....just go in and mow them down so they become afraid to stick their head out the door. Send in the drones and continue picking them off till they are gone.
ISIS has one very big advantage going for them.....THEY KNOW WE WILL NOT GO ON THE OFFENSIVE to obliterate them.

Rag tag thugs and cowards against some of the mightiest militaries in the world......not in the time sorely missed they would not!
