Islamic State group threatens to kill Japan hostages
Town Hall | AP ^ | 1-20-2015

An online video released Tuesday purported to show the Islamic State group threatening to kill two Japanese hostages unless they receive a $200 million ransom in the next 72 hours.

The video, identified as being made by the Islamic State group's al-Furqan media arm and posted on militant websites associated with the extremist group, mirrored other hostage threats made the group. The man speaking also resembled and sounded like a British militant involved in other beheadings by the Islamic State group, which now holds a third of Iraq and Syria under its self-declared caliphate.

Because of Japan’s support for Israel over Palestine, no doubt. < /sarc >

Is there anyone these uncivilized savages haven;’t threatened to kill?

They’re worse than the Obolacare Death Panels.

Any doubt we’re going to be back over there fighting these guys within the next five years? Trying to regain all the ground Obama lost basically.

“unless they receive a $200 million ransom in the next 72 hours.” — 72 hrs & $200 million.. the latter sounds they’re interested in keeping their economy viable. After all they can’t simply live on supposedly promised 72 grapes/raisins or virgins even.

Well, need to make it last since immortality is a long time. Come to think about it, doesn’t having 72 grapes for all eternity sound like a pretty bad place ?

Um.. on the surface no. But i think it’ll depend on whether one will actually have a physical form ie a body as we know it, there which will be immortal. If not, then any type of physical pleasure such as food, drink etc.. can’t exist.
