very sorry to learn this chilld. inevitable I suppose. cannot write on here what I think of isis.

[sandyRoe]

Terrible news for his family, friends, and colleagues. The killers are bigoted monsters.

[ladybirder]

Awful news Chill. I'm filled with rage at them and sadness for him and his family at the same time. How any human being can do this to another ...

[ChillDoubt]

Apparently Briton David Cawthorne Haines is next if reports are correct.
The killing is seen as a direct taunt to Obama, so will he now ramp up operations in the Middle East?

[jourdain2]

So terribly sad to read this. Confirms that they only want a war, however. How truly dreadful.

[murraymints]

Inevitable ...sad...

[ummmm]

Animals..

They are not human beings. If this is a direct taunt to Obama, and if they do want war, it's time they got their wish.

[ladybirder]

Do they have an English captive? Just heard on the news IS have said he will be next.

[naomi24]

Apparently.

[mushroom25]

do our (up to now) spineless politicos have the stomach for more dead hostages?

[naomi24]

Are they spineless, or are they trying to avert full scale war? Whatever it is, I can’t see how they can avoid it for much longer.

[agchristie]

We have seen ISIS' stranglehold on one town in N.Iraq defeated with US air strikes which Obama stated would be limited in 'scope and duration'. This should surely soon pave the way for a heightened attack on ISIS in both Syria and Iraq.

The clock is ticking....

Despicable scum that needs eradicating.

[mallyh]

dreadful news .i agree with all the above .

[dunnitall]

Ummmm, not animals please! They are scum, filth and the lowest of the food chain, animals kill for food not to spite other beings on this planet or in the name of filthy religion!

[Gromit]

No idea why the US and UK sit idly by while IS commit atrocities across North Africa and the Middle East.

We have to blame the lame duck President in the White House, and the clueless Cameron who cannot decide whose side we are on.

IS need to be beaten quickly, but with the dire duo in charge, IS will continue to do their barbaric blood thirsty work.

[tonyav]

Totally agree with that ^^^^^^

[nailit]

muslim scum. Oops, just comitted a hate crime. For Gods sakes when will we erradicate religion?

[Hypognosis]

If only journalists went in wearing explosive belts, instead of flak jackets. That would make hostage taking a thing of the past.

These two executions make it clear that you're dead, if captured, anyway, so why not?
