He was kidnapped in 2012. Islamic law allows for killing a hostage as one of four options: “As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them to death by cutting their necks; the second, to enslave them and apply the laws of slavery regarding their sale and manumission; the third, to ransom them in exchange for goods or prisoners; and fourth, to show favor to them and pardon them. Allah, may he be exalted, says, ‘When you encounter those [infidels] who deny [the Truth=Islam] then strike [their] necks’ (Qur’an sura 47, verse 4)” — Abu’l-Hasan al-Mawardi, al-Ahkam as-Sultaniyyah (The Laws of Islamic Governance), trans. by Dr. Asadullah Yate, (London), Ta-Ha Publishers Ltd., 1996, p. 192.
More on this story. “IS ‘Beheads US Journalist James Foley In Video,'” Sky News, August 19, 2014:
Islamic State militants have released a video that purportedly shows the beheading of a US journalist who went missing two years ago.
The footage appears to show a masked man – speaking in English with an English accent – killing James Foley, who was seized by armed men in Syria in November 2012.
In the five-minute video, posted on social media sites by Islamic State sources, the group declares that Mr Foley was killed after Barack Obama ordered airstrikes against IS positions in northern Iraq.
The group also claimed to be holding another American journalist, Steven Sotloff, and said his life depended on the US President’s next move.
White House National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said the administration had seen the video but had not yet confirmed its authenticity.
She said that if it is verified by the intelligence community, the US would be “appalled by the brutal murder of an innocent American journalist”.
The “Find James Foley” campaign run by the 40-year-old’s family to secure his release posted a public message on Facebook after the video was released asking for time to “seek answers”.
Foley was an experienced correspondent who had covered the war in Libya before heading to Syria to follow the revolt against Bashar al Assad for the Global Post, AFP and other outlets.
According to witnesses, he was seized in the northern Syrian province of Idlib on November 22, 2012.
His family has not heard from him since, despite a public campaign for information.

Stop all this Frankfurt school and PC multi-culti claptrap capitulation and deal with islam for once and for all, or we will be destroyed

Jeff, Please do some reading if you want to know the whole truth. Muslims were the slave traders. As late as 1960 children from Sudan were being sold openly in the slave markets of the Middle East. Many of the young boys were eunuchs. Read the work of Bernard Lewis. He was a bit of a Muslim sympathizer but he does report this in his books. I have even provided you and everyone else with a link. This does not excuse what has been done in the Americas but black people need be made aware.

This is the kind of fallacy muslims and muslim apologists routinely use to muddy the waters and silence critics of jihad terror. Notice that Sergio shows no empathy or sorrow for the victims of jihad, only contempt for christians. If killing thousands makes christians “the worst assassins in history” then what does that make of muslims, with an estimate of 270 millions deaths due to jihad?
Thing is, you can’t judge a religion based on what the followers of that religion do, you have to look at what the religion tells them to do. As far as I can tell, the Bible prohibits such actions, where as quran promotes violence against unbelievers. The atrocities the IS is committing against non-muslims are not only allowed but also encouraged and given divine blessing in islamic orthodoxy, so they’re in no way comparable to the inquisition, who only handled false conversions and relapsed converts. If you were a non-christian living in a christian land the Inquisition (which, except for the Papal States, ended in the 19th and 20th centuries) could not touch you whereas if you’re a non-muslim living in a muslim land your life and property are in permanent danger.
BTW, “you cant talk about nothing“? You might want to think before posting…
Don McKellar says
I’m watching this on CNN and they keep on refering to ISIS as “radicals” and “militants” instead of what they are: traditional fundamentalist Muslims following the Koran and the other texts exactly as written. It frustrating that they refuse to call a spade a spade! These monsters are following exactly in the footsteps of the fictional character Mohammad.
If it’s like it is around the world right now what with Iraq, Syria, et al in the Middle East, the Ukranian conflict, civil rights riots in the US — can you imagine the grand finale we’re building to in the final stretch of Obama’s tenure? What a world he’s leaving for his successor! George the Idiot Bush may just be trumped after all as the all-time worst president!

Out of curiosity, did CNN made any mention of their religion or just used the words “radicals” and “militants”?
Don McKellar says
It’s the same old canards, Angemon. Occasionally they talk about ISIS trying to force “its radical brand of Islam” on others.
But it’s the same old Islam, nothing “radical” about it… they’re just following their old instruction manuals to the letter. What’s “radical” about that?
duh_swami says
Hannity does that too. When talking about Islam, he never says Islam, he always says ‘radical’ Islam. He can say radical 5 times in 4 minutes…But he never explains just what makes it radical…He also said the religion had been hijacked, but does not explain that either……
Jaladhi says
Our media is so afraid of Muslims that it cannot call these terrorist just Muslims – they have to qualify it by saying radical brand of Islam. Morons – have they ever read Quran or learned anything about Islam that they keep calling them with a qualifier as if this Islam is any different than what other so called moderate Muslims practice!! I don’t know what to call them – take your pick – stupid, naive, liars, or all of this combined. Yes Hannity very loudly proclaims “radical” brand of Islam and has many Muslim guests who just plainly lie , lie, lie and he doesn,t hold their feet to the fire.

It’s not just the matter of calling it “radical islam” – that’s probably the lesser evil. I’ve seen several outlets referring to ISIS as “terrorists”, “radicals” or “extremists” without mentioning islam at all. Terrorism is a mean to an end, extremism is a quantifier, and radical and fundamental mean sticking to the root. None of those expressions actually tells what they are fighting for. They might as well just call them “bad guys”, “naughty boys” or “somewhat unpleasant individuals” and be done with it.

We said it before, but we’ll say it again, the words ‘Radical Islam’ are redundant.

Hello Don —
YES, YOU ARE OF COURSE RIGHT : ISIS is fundamentalist Islam, putting into action the essence of Qur’anic verses about Infidels.
The “Western Privilege Guilt” of economically comfortable reporters and columnists keeps them from acknowledging that not ALL belief systems are equally worthy of respect.
But, on the positive side, Muslim slaughter of innocents is so vast that even the deepest delusions about the “Religion of Peace” are now disappearing . . .
Bro. Nick says
I would wish that I could agree with your comment
– ‘But, on the positive side, Muslim slaughter of innocents is so vast that even the deepest delusions about the “Religion of Peace” are now disappearing . . .’.
My personal understanding is that the response by nearly all in ‘Amerika’ will be along the lines of ‘ho-humm – I don’t want to hear the truth about what ‘Muslims’ have done today – because too much bad news bothers and depresses me – turn the ‘boob-tube to another channel and lets watch ——-‘.
“And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.”
(Luke 17:26-29 – KJV)
———–
Me thinks that the whole world is becoming ever more and more rapidly ‘as it was in the days of Noah and of Lot’ – TODAY – RIGHT NOW!
The depths of the Apathy, Complacency, Pride and Apostasy of this evil and wicked country should be truly appalling – but there are very few that really care!
How many that claim to be Christians have seriously thought about the ‘hate crime’ laws already enacted here in “Amerika” means that speaking out clearly about the the Satanic followers of Mohammed will probably in the near future mean certain real and terrible persecution of CHRISTians who will continue to speak out or write the truth about them?

According to the Holy Bible there are very strong indications that Satanically indwelt followers of the false moon-god ‘Allah’ and their lying prophet Mohammed will be part of of the ‘one-world religion’ during seven years of “the time of Jacob’s trouble”, the “great tribulation” for there will be:
“… : and I saw the souls of them that were BEHEADED for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”

Well of course the correct, logical thing to do would be to nuke Mecca off the face to the map. But of course that’s not even being considered or discussed by anybody with the means.
Imagine if it were to happen. These maniacs, Islamic supremacists around the world, and Islam would be shaken to the very core and their resolve would be crushed. WIth their primitive, literal, one-dimensional view of the world shattered forever, never to be the same again. Imagine the millions freed from their enslavement, mentally and physically.
Sure there would be chaos for a bit, but then it would sink it very quickly: Islam has been touched. It is wrong.
Donovan Nuera says
If that were to happen, I imagine it like in the Lord of the Rings: Return of the King [spoiler alert] when the Ring of Power is finally destroyed within the bowels of Mount Doom and Sauron’s great tower, Barad-dur, and his great “eye” start to collapse and eventually implode and while that is happening, all the evil forces controlled by Sauron get swallowed up in the clefts of the earth or run away…
Personally, a 10 Mton nuke would at least clean up Mecca’s gaudy and tacky skyline with those cheesy towering hotels and clock tower overlooking the black Cube’s patio area….

Uncle Vladdi says
It may be the schadenfreude talking, but I have to laugh whenever one of these vile traitors to rationality and civilization gets their justly due comeuppances!
“Seriously:” I feel like laughing. As long as all these enemedia presstitutes deliberately ignore islam, they will remain willing complicit accessories enabling all the muslim crimes in the world.
It’s ironic that the press, whose “narrative” is that “islam Is A Great Religion Of Peace, full of poor oppressed swarthy People Of Color innocent victims,” has been shown the truth in as direct and uncontrovertable a way possible.
The only reason the media exists is to ask the wrong questions. They think they’re safe because if they just ask all the wrong questions, then their corporazi masters won’t have to worry about the answers anymore.
So it’s hilarious when their presumed, self-entitled immunity slips.
Presstitutes have no souls. Because today’s “journalists” are all corporate drones, who get given their stories by their editors and publishers, on a day-by-day basis; there is no individual initiative room for any of them to follow up on any stories!
The MSM are all traitorous self-serving cowards. The reason they used to shoot cowards in wartime (unlike today, where they promote them) was because, being masochists, most cowards are also traitors. Masochists cause their own imagined worst-case scenarios all the time, in order to maintain an illusion of “control” over them.
They are all empty vessels, nothing more than actors given their lines by their owners.
They have no opportunity nor desire to learn any basic principles beyond keeping their jobs and padding their pensions, no loyalty to the country or citizens (or God) at all!
Screw all these enemedia presstitues who sermonize about how bad us “racists” are! Western people won’t educate them *selves* about islam because our own gangster culture encourages us all to idolatrously defer all individual thinking to those “authorities” we PAY to do our thinking and research for us!
And they secretly know full-well that the salesmen in charge will always sell us all out!
The treasonous enemedia presstitutes should be the first to go, for selling out our children’s futures in order to save only their own worthless cowardly skins.
And when they lie, presenting their fact-free opinions AS FACT, claiming “islam is a great religion of peace!” any and all so-called ‘politicians’ are committing the crime of fraud to enable all muslim murders as well!
It’s been how long since 9/11 brought islam to the world’s attention?!
The enemedia presstitutes’ jobs should be to do simple, basic research into the subjects they pontificate on.
When they put up their fact-free opinions in stead of those facts, they are committing the CRIME of slanderous, victim-blaming criminally-negligent FRAUD.
With islam, they are all willing accessories and complicit enablers of this ancient yet ongoing extortion-racket CRIME-syndicate fraudulently advertised as the “religion” of islam, and as such they are aiding and abetting these “holy mobsters'” human-trafficking slavery and murder crimes.
They should be arrested charged indicted tried and sentenced for it.
It should never be allowed by backwards people to be considered “illegal” to accuse these criminals (moslems) of their crimes, allegedly because the painful truth might offend them or hurt their feelings, and so “make” them commit even more crimes!
No problem was ever solved by ignoring it, and nobody is doing even these moslems any favours, by indulging their historic lies that islam is a “religion” (at all, much less one “of peace”) or a “race” (much less one of poor oppressed People Of Colour”)!
Pretending there is NOT a Muslim problem but only a white racist problem accepting diversity, is criminally negligent TREASON.

The “fourth” option isn’t used very often–if at all, that I’ve ever read about …
wow mohammedans are such heartless, soulless savages.
Tom says
Wow you’re all incredibly ignorant. The actions of the Islamic State are undertaken and supported by such a small minority of those who follow Islam. To claim all moderate Islamic people will someday radicalize is a fucking joke. You are all on the margins of society and this kind of thinking is despicable. This kind of thinking is what encourages radicalization in the first place.
Radicalisation is caused by alienation, ignorance and discrimination – no matter what they are fighting for.
To be fair though, those who follow the Islamic State are heading in the wrong direction just as much. Had y’all been raised and socialized in Iraq during the oppression of Saddam and then the subsequent occupation by the US I reckon you would be the first weak willed motherfuckers to go join a radical cause like the Islamic State.
You are part of the problem! Grow up! – Also I don’t know if comments get banned here or not but you should hear me out and reply back.

“To claim all moderate Islamic people will someday radicalize is a fucking joke”
Well, 4 Muslim youths from Mumbai and one from Chennai, India , have joined the IS to fight in Syria..Do you think all these 5 are illiterates..? All were educated and two are Engineers..How do you explain this ? Why. even Osama bin Laden was said to be an Engineer…What ever may be the education, they get, their minds programmed to medieval age..there would have been no problems in EU countries and US, where all these moderate Muslims live..
Michael Copeland says
Islam is not defined by what the majority of its followers do or think, nor by a minority. It is defined by its core texts containing the root (Latin “radix”, radical) teachings.
Champ says
Bravo, Michael! Tom doesn’t seem to realize this important fact.
John Stefan Obeda says
Good answer Michael. Let me add: Just as God works through His Word which we read and hear and God then plants saving faith in His truths in our hearts (for example: that Jesus has come from heaven to save mankind from sin and eternal death) and through His Word we then are “enflamed” to tell others the good news of salvation as the Shepherds did after they saw their Immanuel, so also in a perverted way after the Islamist has read and heard the teachings of Muhammad, the devil radicalizes the Islamist to do all that he can to get the world under Islam’s Shariah law and under their allah (even if it means killing and beheading and subjugating the innocent). And then the Islamist looks forward to his eternal reward of a happy sexual life in heaven with his virgins. (But someone has said: each virgin is 4 feet tall and 400 pounds.)
Cameron Ibrahim says
As a fellow muslim, who practices daily, and has a great faith I can tell you now, I am appalled. You extremist evil people should not be killing people you know its wrong!
In the quran yeah maybe Allah does say you have one of four choices, but they are choices! And you have chosen to take away innocent lives.
From the rest of the Islamic community around the world, GROW UP.

thesufferer says
The Quran does not say that they have the option of killing. Surat 47, vs 4: “So you meet the ones who have disbelieved, strike them on the necks (fight them) until you have subjugated (captured) them, then uphold the bonds (follow the rules): either be bounteous (free them) or exact a ransom.” There is no option for summary execution by beheading. Like most religions, the followers have twisted the words to match their desires.
vik says
this is true, religion is not wrong for stupid ppl following it by turned believes. If You meet educated normal, not radical, Muslim citizen which follow simple rules of Islam You’ll find out it’s a normal guy, just like anybody from let’s say Christianity. There are also radical Christians like opus dei or smth and ofc read a bit about Christian’s war, very brutal.The biggest mistake that’s done is that press is calling them islams or muslims instead of ISIS army but they don’t call USA soldier Christians or whatever religion they might be. Press names other armies as USA army, France army German army..religion doesn’t have anything to do with bad things.
Hope You understand what I’m trying to say, English is not my native.
