Yaakov Holansky says
Look at the man hiding behind a woman’s Berka going to slice the head of a man with his hands tied behind his back. Very brave!
Wtf? says
Errr
This might be a stupid comment but why hasn’t the internet and phone coverage for the occupied areas of Syria and Iraq been turned off? The positive is that the world is seeing and learning what these animals are but the negative is that the telecoms are allowing absolute barbarism to be broadcast!!!!
Yaakov Holansky says
Errr Not a stupid question at all. We have the ability to completely shut both down without a problem ALL means of communication. We could probably mess with the electric grid too.
Why. Political Somehow how I think Barack Hussein Obama, Ben Rhodes, the Moslem Brotherhood Advisor, or another classy advisor Phillips is behind it. The know more than the whole world. Just ask them
Jovial Joe says
They did the same with Daniel Pearl, also a journalist. My sympathy to his family. May it strengthen our resolve to annihilate the barbarians.
Edward Cline says
And don’t forget Nick Berg, and the four contractors whose mutilated bodies were hung from a bridge in Baghdad.
Major Summerhill says
“annihilate the barbarians” Yes, that is the goal.
GP says
Amen
RKM says
OO-RAH.
Nabhnil says
The killer of Daniel Pearl lives comfortably in an AC prison and even enjoys conjugal rights in a country(Pakistan) that the US has propped up and armed for decades.
If the citizens of USA do not force their government to change it’s policies these things will recur with increasing frequency in the coming years!!
Diane Harvey says
Did I read that James Wright Foley was a photojournalist?
Safe to assume he considered himself a part of the MSM?
Will this move the MSM to start listening to Robert Spencer that he (RS) knows what he’s taking about.
John C. Barile says
No; they won’t listen, even now.
WVinMN says
No.
shrugger says
No. They will simply change the subject.
PJG says
They will defend these people to the bitter end.
The alternatives are to admit they were wrong, or pretend they worked out how horrible Islam is first. Then again, they might get away with the latter.
Champ says
Curious what obama’s feckless response will be to this gruesome barbarity …
How many more must be beheaded before our world leaders take real and decisive military action against these savages? And what’s wrong with this picture? Well, the guy in black is the one who SHOULD be dead.
Champ says
correction: what *else* is wrong with this picture …
and I meant no disrespect to James Wright Foley. My deepest, heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. My God.
Myxlplik says
#leavejouralistheadsalone
Wonder in anyone from the Huffington Post is going to put their necks where their mouths are and “head” over to the IS and interview this practitioner of the religion of peace?
Champ says
Exactly, Myxlplik! …excellent point
Semeru says
Would Myxlplik or Champ put their necks where their mouths are and “head” over to the IS and interview this practitioner of the religion of peace?
Champ says
“semeru” is a real dope, since neither of us are in league with HuffPo …
But “semeru” shares their dangerous mindset, so he ought to put his neck where his mouth is and “head” over to the IS and interview this practitioner of the religion of peace?
Myxlplik says
Semeru,
Why would I go to the Islamic State?
Islamic populations don’t create the sort of culture I want to be in. I’ve been to Indonesia, and Malaysia for surfing trips and other than good surf I didn’t find anything enjoyable about the experience.
I’m not really for cultural exchanges between our civilizations, there really isn’t anything good in it for non-Muslims.
If by chance you meant going over to IS, for conflict, in my opinion if left alone most of the Islamic world will just die from Ebola, and Cholera within a few generations. So why bother, it’s way less expensive for us to let you all just go off and Haram your Boko to death as long as you aren’t allowed free access to our societies.
Jay Boo says
Champ said that Semeru “ought to put his neck where his mouth is”
I suspect that Semeru could fit his whole head where his mouth is and still have plenty of room left over.
Champ says
ahaha!! ..yeah “semeru” is a real pinhead, Jay Boo! 😀
Alice says
Sadly, it will take the politicians being picked off before they will even think about telling the truth. Hoping it won’t come to that.
Yaakov Holansky says
Obama will say it had nothing to do with Islam. Obviously he was a deranged man and went bezerk just like the work place violence of Maj Nidal.
jihad3tracker says
HELLO KEITH ELLISON AND ANDRE CARSON. HELLO REZA ASLAN. HELLO SCUMBAG THUG NATHAN LEAN. HELLO JOHN ESPOSITO. HELLO LINDA SARSOUR. AND ETCETERA.
JUST SAYIN’ HOWDY DOO TO ALL OF YOU SEDITIONISTS AND TRAITORS.
Incidents like the beheading of this journalist only increases the determination of my buddies and me to buy the latest surveillance gear —- both land-based and flying-around. I will spend every last dollar in my bank account to track all of you every day of the week.
There will be arrests, there will be evidence presented, there will be convictions. Hillary is NOT going to win and keep scoring for enemies of the United States. There is a big surprise coming in the candidacy arena. See if you can figure out what I am talking about.
Until then — go f*ck yourselves up Muhammad’s poopshute.
No Fear says
The Quran is two books, the Meccan Quran and the Medinan Quran.
The Medinan Quran is a war manual.
Moderate muslims would have us believe that the Medinan Quran does not exist.
This video is proof that the Medinan Quran is effective.
RKM says
HAHAAA!! Yes, nice very nice… LOL.
Keep laying it on thick, down with all pedophile lovers and totalitarians!
SpiritOf1683 says
I feel very sorry for him, condolences for his family, but why was he there and who sent him there? This is no place for any Westerner, least of all an American. It isn’t worth losing your head just to get a photograph or two. Islam is certainly no religion of peace. It is a cult of the vilest and lowest form of barbarians that have ever walked this planet, and it ought to be long obvious by now. This is a clear warning of why ISIS has to be destroyed. Where they gather, air burst thermobarics must be used to obliterate a wide area of them. No mercy should be shown to the merciless, because they show none back. Stop the stupid Miranda laws and try them in a military court, or better still, execute them on the spot, as they don’t adhere to any Geneva Convention, only to Mohammed’s bloodthirsty ways, and it prevents them harmingh anyone else again. It is time political correctness was rooted out once and for all, and the truth prevailed. The professors and academics who spawned it have more blood on their hands than many a leading Nazi, and it is political correctness which leaves too many Westerners unaware of any dangers lurking, because they’ve been led to believe that at heart everyone’s the same and wants the same things in life, but too many have found out the hard way that this is not the case, and I’m afraid this beheaded prisoner won’t be the last casualty of this woolly headed way of thinking.
Champ says
James Wright Foley’s blood is on obama’s hands!!!
SpiritOf1683 says
Obama is a product of 50 years of political correctness, as are all the other Western leaders, thats why the West has never looked as weak over the last 500 or so years as it does now. Only Netanyahu has been in the school of hard knocks otherwise known as the IDF, whilst the rest of them have never seen action. The closest Obama comes is wielding a golf club whilst as for Cameron, who is on holiday yet again, his local fox hunt is more his forte.
Islamisdeath says
Per Obama he is changing the world but we still have a long way to go. This kind of thing? Just part of the price for changing the world. Obama and the entire left is insane.

Appalled By The World says
What’s needed is a massive campaign of neutron bombing of all areas controlled by ISIS. Leave all the useful structures standing while exterminating the murderous vermin.
tpellow says
But do the West’s political class (including much of MSM), even now, recognise that the Islamofascists of the Islamic State are our enemies and should be treated as such?
Does the West’s political class recognise the significance of the fact that all the Islamic State’s jihadists are dedicated Muslims?
dumbledoresarmy says
this happened in Iraq.
BUT
the ritualised Islamic butchery of Lee Rigby took place in * a street in London in broad daylight*.
The ritualised Islamic butchery of Theo Van Gogh – to “punish” him for having had the temerity to help ex-Muslim Ayaan Hirsi Ali make a film criticising Muslim misogyny – took place in a street in Holland in broad daylight.
The ritualised Muslim butchery of Rabbi Sendler, his two little boys, and of eight-year-old Miriam Monsonego, took place in the schoolyard of a Jewish school in Toulouse, in broad daylight.
The perpetrators of *those* acts of ritual Mohammedan murder-for-allah were no different from the evil creature in black in this photo from Iraq. Actuated by exactly the same ideology: orthodox by-the-book Islam, Islam, Islam.
The Religion of Murder is inside our gates.
Jaladhi says
The West is simply closing its eyes hoping that it is not happening. What will it take for the West to realize its mistake and scrap this multi-culti PC lie in your face attitude? Are they waiting for a mushroom cloud in their cities before they take any action!!
Undaunted says
I don’t feel sorry at all for this guy. He went over there knowing the risk and pretending it wouldn’t touch him. He was hoping for his fifteen minutes of fame. And he got it.
RKM says
I listened to what Foley said before he died. I agree, no sympathy from me.
His Air Force brother is the hero.
RKM says
According to Foley, “Friends family and loved ones, rise up against my real killers, the U.S. Government, what will happen to me is only a result of their complacency and criminality.”
Foley then goes on to berate his brother for being in the USAF, for being part of an organization dropping bombs to kill terrorists and protecting innocents.
Sounds as if ISIL killed one of their own to me.
gravenimage says
I’m not necessarily going to condemn a man who says what he is ordered to when he has a knife at this throat.
It is common Jihadist practice to put the victim through a number of “dry runs” just to terrify them.
James Foley may have thought that if he complied with their demands that he might live.
MacUalraig says
Yes, until Paddy brought up that point I hadn’t considered it. I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, after all. I regret posting what I did.
Mac
paddy says
Such bitter and twisted cynicism. You’re suggesting that journalists stay away from war torn zones and we remain in the dark about the horrors and futility of those unfortunate people living through it.
The poor man probably convinced himself that if he said what he was told to say, his life would be spared. Right until the moment the knife touched his throat
MacUalraig says
Indeed, Paddy, indeed. I concede. And I feel bad for what I wrote considering that what you said is a strong probability.
May J. W. Foley rest in peace.
gravenimage says
Agreed, paddy.
thomas_h says
I see the face of the man about to be beheaded.
I’m at awe at the courage and dignity it expresses. How much higher he stands at his moment of death than the loathsome vermin – the muhammedan “warrior”.
I pray for you and salute you James Wright Foley.
Champ ✿ says
Yes, Thomas_h …I see that, too, my friend. James Foley shows a lot of courage, and may he rest in peace.
thomas_h says
Amen, dear Champ, Amen
Jaladhi says
Is there anybody more barbaric than Muslims??? why are we letting theses barbarians live here. Send them to sand of Saudi Arabia – they will be happy there and we would be happier!!
No Fear says
They are simply following the 7th century war manual that is the Medinan Quran.
Quran 8:12 , 47:4
Wellington says
Interesting thread. Interesting comments. Here’s mine for what it’s worth: The more devout the Muslim, the more likely such a person will be barbaric actually or support actual barbarism by fellow Muslims (as here).
This stupid game has to end once and for all, the stupid game being that Islam is all right and it’s just been hijacked by some extremists——-blah, blah, blah. The Obamas and Camerons of the West have to go and a new generation of Reagans and Thatchers are sorely needed. Enough already of suicidal PC/MC. A new Evil Empire speech is overdue.
After all, how does Islam in “its full glory” differ from Nazism or Marxism? All three are a prescription for the closing of the mind. All three are inveterate enemies of liberty. All three are inveterate enemies of a true Golden Rule for all. All three are what makes a human being into a robotron rather than a human being.
Well, Nazism has been knocked down. Marxism has pretty much been knocked down (still alive though among many silly academics in the West). ‘Bout time Islam is knocked down. This will never happen as long as stupid people or complicit people continue to maintain that Islam is OK.
It’s not OK. OK?
SpiritOf1683 says
Reagan and Thatcher knew nothing about Islam and this enemy. If you say John Quincy Adams and Winston Churchill, who understood Islam, with Benjamin Netanyahu, now you’re talking.
Angemon says
Poor man. My condolences to his family and friends.
Anyone knows which obscure YT clip Obama and Hillary will blame for it? Or will they just go Cameron and say it has nothing to do with Islam?
Wellington says
Well, Angemon, there’s a stupid trinity for you, the very one you named——-Obama, Hillary and Cameron.
Just imagine the collective ignorance of these three versus, say, the wisdom of a single Winston Churchill or the aggregate wisdom of America’s Founding Fathers. Wo! It’s a long way, a long way downwards, from the likes of Churchill, Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, et al. to the stupid trinity which I named above.
In fact, this descent, I would argue, is dispositive in microcosm of the West’s descent overall. Well, when the best a superior civilization can produce is an Obama, a Hillary and a Cameron, such a superior civlization is in deep danger, big time, of being a superior civilization no more.
Always good to read your posts. I don’t think we disagree on much. Take care.
Angemon says

Ugh, don’t remind me of it. I dislike the political class out of principle, and the likes of them only add fuel to the fire. They’re almost as bad as the puppet Barroso, the soon to be ex-president of the European Commission. There’s something about his demeanor and attitude that just rubs me the wrong way.
“Always good to read your posts.”
Likewise. You, Champ, Mirren, Philip, dumbledoresarmy, gravenimage, and a few more whose names aren’t at the top of my head at the moment are always worth reading. You take care too, and stay vigilant.

Thank you, Angemon! …your kind words mean a lot to me.

Thank you, Angemon. I feel the same way about all the posters you mentioned, as well as yourself.

Of course they, Muslims and the media will say that – it has nothing to do with Islam. They are all pathetic liars and nobody with a sane mind believes them!!
Mark Berlinger says
Political Correctness Is Tyranny With Manners
Today’s release of the execution of freelance reporter James Foley by an Islamic State jihadi was banned by sniveling YouTube. Kudos to LiveLeak for their courageous commitment to the release of information http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=519_1408481769
RIP James Foley.
Sharia 2014 is the same as Sharia 750 but with Kalashnikovs.
Angemon says
I can almost see the headlines tomorrow. In large letters, occupying 90% of the front page, “Islamic community in the US fears for its safety, asks for police protection after racist threats”. And in small print at the bottom of the page “American journalist killed in Iraq”.
Sarah L Nield says
Oh yes. So true. It’s the same over here. Change a few words, add a rent a quote on how offended Muslims are, and a rush to condemn it from a white British talking head, while silence on the real life anti-Semitic attacks against real people in our home country is maintained.
The beheading of a British journalist would be reported with the disclaimer, bigger than the headline, ‘we must remember, Muslims in general condemn such things as against Islam’ from a white British talking head while the Muslims themselves maintain the silence they are famous for.
You might get one or two newspapers daring to print it as a headline, like real news, a British journalist being decapitated for doing his journalist thing, news in anyone’s book. With no comment at all apart from what a grand chap he was from family and friends.
You might, on page fourteen, even get a op ed comment connecting the attacks on Muslims with the murder of a British journalist, but the condemnation of such ‘right wing lies’ would come in thick and fast and the op ed writer smeared as ‘an Islamphobic hater’ and ‘a member of the BNP’ while the ruling classes tripped over themselves to distance themselves from hate speech.
PGuud says
The blood of James Wright Foley (including all before and after him) is on the hands of every Muslim and every apologist for and enabler of Islam. They are responsible for that man’s death because they engage in protagonism for the evil ideology that sanctioned his death.
Nevertheless, Violent Muslims are not nearly as dangerous as your Nonviolent Muslim “neighbors” and “coworkers.” Give the latter group time to grow, and they will prove it to you.
Just ask any country with a growing Muslim population.
Islam: where freedom ends and slavery begins.
Islamisdeath says
Huge article in time Called the Shame of Burma. No articles on the shame of islam though.
Richie says
The savage had an English accent- could he be one of the many Muslim animals infesting England who was a parasite , living on welfare, who went off to join Isis/The islamic state to kill people?
jed m says
Yes and no doubt they’ll have a nice fat wedge of benefits cash waiting their return a heros welcome in the muslim ghettos! SAS should be waiting at border crossings and take them out, what am i saying! That would infringe their human rights, hanging my head in shame….NOT!
Tom Goddijn says
So sad that the majority of people all around the world have no idea what Islam really stands for. Even worse is that this majority in their stupidity believes in sharing their environment with muslims and believe we can live in peace together. I am from the Netherlands, one of the most tolerant and safest country’s in the world. Unfortunately this has been changing the past years, due to this tolerant attitude. People are starting to realize that Islam is no religion and has no culture, it is evil. As most people they think these terrorists are far from their neighbourhood and as long as they stay quiet nothing will happen. Wrong, islam is like weed, it needs to be destroyed with roots and all, or it will cover the earth and destroy everyone who will not join them. Can anyone tell me what the nowadays Islam has done good for our world ?. All we see is hatred, violence, bloodshed, racism, bombing innocent, marriage of girls starting at 8 years old, shooting little girls because they are not allowed to get education etc.etc.. Not all muslims are terrorists but every terrorist is a Muslim. I miss the opposition of the so called “moderate” muslims ?, they should shout their lungs out, saying they totally disagree with the terrorists interpretation of islam, but it remains silent. Please wake up world and face what your dealing with.
Pardon my English, just a foreigner

Against such subhuman savagery this can no longer be considered a political war with rules of engagement. At this point, if American boots hit the ground it is a war of extermination and there will be no prisoners to be airlifted to Guantanamo and issued their government appointed attorneys.
