My cousin is a journalist who, for a while at least, really enjoyed working in the scariest places - like doing articles on the lives of women in Afghanistan. YIKES!

Foley's murder puts a chill down my spine...

[vision63]

This is awful awful.

Like Daniel Pearl... A situation of genocide going on there. Where's the world's outrage over this?

[mrlynn]

Where are the Muslim leaders with the courage to stand up and condemn these vicious Islamist barbarians?

The media has found a gold mine of ad revenue and viewer share in race-baiting. They simply can't turn outrage half way around the world into a buck as cheaply and easily.

The Saudi Wahabi leaders have called ISIS the 'Most grave threat against Islam' and called for their destruction.

The Roman Catholic Pope has decried the genocide and called upon the world to help.

And so forth.

The US media has been talking about it. But their execs have the attention span of a teenaged squirrel with ADHD. The world media has been talking about it a lot.

Amen to that. I think we should be wiping these POS's off the face of the Earth. I believe they are simply psychopathic murderers who hide behind a great religion and pervert it's teachings as justification for its actions.

Who is "we?" The US? What exactly are you proposing?

Yes, the US military. ISIS, or ISIL if you prefer, is practicing genocide based on religious beliefs. They are more vicious and barbaric than the Taliban, or Al Qaeda, Hamas, Boko Haram, etc.
I believe we helped to get Iraq to this point in time and Iraq's military is either frightened enough of ISIL to run away, or in league with them, so there is no stopping the genocide. Syria, Turkey, and the Kurds are also besieged by this group. This is not unlike the Nazis "Final Solution". They need to be stopped. Now.
