Unbelievably sad. I cannot imagine what is wife and mother are going through. When are the first world countries going to do something about this ?

[TWR]

It's exactly what these scum want! Publicity

[ichkeria]

Here are two options which might help:

1 Negotiate with these people where appropriate - as argued by Anthony Lloyd in the Times yesterday, with some cogency, I have to say
2 Don't go to areas where you are at risk of kidnapping
3 Wage war on the perpetrators

Number 3 is already happening.
Do you have a fourth option?

[ichkeria]

Sorry that was 3 options :-)

[DTCwordfan]

I find it hard to believe that the secret services have no inkling of where these folk are. About time for a few mother bombs and b-gger the consequences of killing a few Muslims around them.

//Number 3 is already happening. //

I wouldn't say we're pulling out all the stops.

[ichkeria]

They probably aren't : although it's almost certainly not as easy as the previous reply suggests. Fighting a ruthless, cruel enemy with no moral compass whatsoever can be a nightmare as we are seeing a bit closer to home alas

[jourdain2]

The 'First World' countries are going to do nothing to stop this - yet. At the moment there is a lot of posturing and oratory with a bit of back-stage action. It will reach the point when they are forced to take direct action - by then it may well be too late as IS will be well-spread and have been allowed enough time to consolidate in pockets all over. Proscratination will have cost dearly, but short-termism is more convenient.

It probably won't make much difference, the clash of cultures is going to happen anyway at some point. Best we can do is to learn to get along with those who are willing to get along with us.

Normally I am against any censorship of the press, but in these cases the press and the TV news should not be allowed to report on these vile happenings, this is what these savages want, publicity, while else do they release these videos?

[ichkeria]

It's rather difficult to stop someone releasing a video if they want, to, but generally, as far as I know, they are moved from social media, youtube etc. as soon as possible.

////I find it hard to believe that the secret services have no inkling of where these folk are.////

You are right and I find that hard to believe too. But the fact is that they do know where and who these people are, because not only they have created these people but are also looking after them.

[dannyk13]

Until countries agree to put troops on the ground then IS will not be defeated.

We put feet on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan, and what was gained by that?

[youngmafbog]

//Fighting a ruthless, cruel enemy with no moral compass whatsoever//

Are you describing the Japanese in WW2?

My point being this is nothing new really. What is different is that we allow thse people to live amongst us and preach their hatred, until recently without any problems at all.

The West needs to accept their war, intern supporters in the West and go for it where we know where they are in the World. Without hands tied behind their backs.

However to do this, the UK at least, will need to be out of the HRA or all our soldiers and Police will be up against a war crime charge.

[youngmafbog]

AOG, the grim truth is that without boots on the ground we will not stand a chance of defeating them. I dont think you cna compare this to either of the two conflicts you mention.

Alternatively we can roll over and allow them to take over wherever they wish and believe me they wont stop until the West is under their control. Fancy Sharia law AOG?

[andres]

These latest executions have really shaken the Japanese people. I think that their government will do something .

[sandyRoe]

These people gained a foothold in Syria because of the anarchy there. Their success in Iraq is part of the American legacy. The supporters of ISIS there are for the most part disaffected opponents of the sectarian government that the Americans helped into offfice.

[ichkeria]

There are 'boots on the ground' they are called the Peshmerga
You are all playing the game these people want you to play: almost comical outrage. Why do you think they are so keen to boast of their brutality?
As you say nothing is really new: and the brutality of ISIS is no worse than that of many others. But in your outrage you seem to blame the mysterious 'we' or 'they' for letting them get away with it. Music to their ears I would have thought

[chaptazbru2]

Agree with DT at 15:53 Sun.

[naomi24]

Keyplus, //the fact is that they do know where and who these people are, because not only they have created these people but are also looking after them. //

Is that a 'fact' or is it another of your many conspiracy theories? If it's a 'fact', what do you think the purpose is?

[keyplus90]

Naomi - it is fact and if you remember just over a year ago we were planning to go and fight along with them because Americans wanted us to. However if you have short memory then start eating almonds as they are good for memory boost. The reason is very clear, creating and airing civil wars in all those countries that are near Israel especially if they have army. I believe that ISIS really stands for Israeli secret Intelligence Services.

That person called Jehadi John, is white, he british, so what makes people think that he is Muslim? Only because he says Allah ho Akbar before he kills any innocent person? Why can't he be MI5 agent? Why are so many people going there to fight are British? Why don't Turkish join them? they don't have to go far. But i am sure you will not answer any of my these questions.
