The parents of a US aid worker held hostage by Islamic State militants on Sunday released photographs of their son and parts of a letter he wrote them from captivity in which he says he is scared to die but at peace with his belief.
Peter Kassig, 26, was taken captive a year ago while doing humanitarian work in Syria, his family has said. He was threatened in an Islamic State video issued on Friday that showed the beheading of a British aid worker.
Ed and Paula Kassig of Indianapolis, Indiana, appealed for his release on Saturday in a video message.
On Sunday, they called for people to use the name he has taken since converting to Islam, Abdul-Rahman Kassig.
You go to hell, don’t be surprised when you meet the devil. Duh
I imagine that they do so in hope that he will be spared and released at some point.
I don't expect that will happen, but I can only imagine their horror and heartbreak, and don't begrudge them anything they do in hope of helping to save his life.
Right now they are probably trying to play along with whatever efforts he seems to be making, to save his life.
He should be afrid to die. He’s going to Hell and he probably knows it.
His parents support this? Why don’t THEY fly to Syria and see if they too can be beheaded?
“You go to hell, dont be surprised when you meet the devil. Duh”
Just what I was thinking, only you expressed it better.
It was probably a mistake for his parents to make a televised appeal for their son’s release. I believe every time this has happened, ISIS beheaded their captive the next day.
I can only imagine the terror this man and his family are going through with him under threat of being murdered. My heart goes out to him and his family.
Having said that, the US should not make any concessions to get him back. If that means he is executed, so be it. If you go to these countries, you accept the risk that you may be kidnapped and killed, period. There should be no expectation whatsoever that the US is going to pay to get you back or make other concessions to these savages.
I would fear dying to if I had recently changed from my peace-loving religion to that of a sadistic death cult.
I would hope that if I were Kassig, I would have the faith, the courage and strength of the LORD to face down the devil incarnate and testify that Jesus Christ is Lord. Even as my head is separated from my body.
If Kassig has so little faith, he better hope the LORD forgives him for denouncing His name.
Matt 10: 32-33 Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.”
He should be afraid to die.
Yup.
First it’s: Convert or DIE!
Then,
You Converted? Oh... well. uh... You’re STILL a minion of the great satan, so: Convert AND DIE!
True....I can’t muster a whole lot of sympathy for this guy or his family.
No honor among thieves, even less among muslims.
It tells me that they are insatiably blood thirsty. It tells me that Satan has found willing living hosts.
So would I, let’s hope that you never find yourself in the situation he is in and have to try and find a way to survive.
As a muslim he should be spaired—that what it says in the Koran. Not that it will stop these fiends.
