James Foley Went Looking to Support Terrorists in Syria, Instead They Cut Off His Head
FrontPageMag ^ | August 19, 2014 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 08/20/2014 3:50:14 PM PDT by wtd

James Foley was one of a new breed of activists calling themselves journalists. He didn’t travel to report on a story, but to promote an agenda. And the agenda was obvious from his Twitter feed.

[snip]

Foley came to Syria to support the Sunni Islamist rebels against the Syrian government.

He cheered on the Sunni Muslim terrorists fighting to ethnically cleanse the Christians of Aleppo. In the conflict between Israel and Hamas, his tweets and retweets were chock full of pro-terrorist propaganda.

How reliable is this source? I clicked the link but told it didn’t exist on this server. This needs some double- and triple- checking before defaming the dead.

Liberals are too stupid to realize the danger of Islam.

He got exactly what he deserved, just like an idiot who would jump into a Lions cage at a zoo and gets mauled or worse yet partially eaten.

Life is tough, but it’s even tougher when you’re arrogant and not as bright as you believe you are, and I simply am of the opinion this guy was exactly what I have described.

Agreed ED. Besides the fact that a friend of his family has posted to this thread. Really, really ugly.

mware: I don't buy it.

I don't either. Here's what FrontPageMag wants us to accept: Foley didn't like Assad. Therefore Foley was an anti-Assad terrorist sympathizer.

And since the anti-Assad terrorists believed in ethnic cleansing, Foley must have believed in ethnic cleansing.

No evidence of that was provided. The best you can say about such an argument is that it's sloppy and illogical. However, it's more likely that the article was meant to be deceptive.

May all of America’s fiends the likes of Jim Foley all be meted the same well-earned fate they overwhelmingly deserve. Not be cossetted, relegated to the country-club environment in which our domestic rapists, murderers, political provocateurs, pass the time of day, but to feel the wrath,
quiver in fear, come face to face with Satan and his lapdogs
and to know the full brunt of the rage of those they served with such obedience and sycophancy.

Unfortunately, this is the lie that so many progressive have bought into- 'they are human just like us, want religious freedom just like us... blah blah blah.

I'm still pisseed her was beheadeed. He was, after all, and American.

Yet I hope his death serves as a wake up call to those who view Islam as a noble religion. Doubt it. BUt I can hope.

He got exactly what he deserved. He was stupid to be there in the first place...

Would you have said the same thing about Ernie Pyle?

A hell of a lot of people, even on FR are and have been anti Assad. Unfortunately Obama waited too damn long and the evil was able to take over much of the anti Assad group. Same damn thing happen in Egypt with the Muslim Brotherhood.

Watch Evan Sayet. He’s gotten me close to understanding this, more so than anyone else.

Sounds like he believed and set out to document the lie, but instead found the truth and died for knowing it.

You don’t need a link to a story.
His last statement, which IS in the video was an anti-American statement.
He knew he was about to get his head cutoff. Yet his last words were an
anti-American statement to the bitter end.

So much smear, so little information. His Twitter feed that they use to trumpet his supposed “jihad support” is mostly information updates.

The worst they apparently got on him is a tweet disparaging Romney (on Syria) and calling both Obama and Romney “pathetic on gun violence”. So maybe he was liberal-leaning. Doesn’t justify the degree of slander seen here.

Would the comparison be valid?

Not a chance, and for several reasons. Would you care to venture a guess on say, oh, two easy reasons why the comparison is invalid?

Maybe they told him beforehand if he died willingly he’d get 72 virgins.
