bit pedantic there

its not like execution is a polite way of saying it

executing someone is murdering them...

I don't think any Muslim would say that their religion allowed them to kidnap people and demand ransom money, or am I wrong?

This hostage was killed because the ransom was not paid, not for any religious cause, surely?

*Someone being executed does not give it a veil of legitimacy. The reverse. An execution is far more horrible and sinister than an everyday murder. *

exactly what i was going to say....



the report said thats why they said he was killed venator ..... and no you arent wrong imo

[emmie]

he was killed because a ransom wasn't paid. Had one been paid would he have been released, i don't think so. It was cold bloodied murder.
