The Islamic State (ISIS) group threatened to kill two Japanese hostages unless Tokyo pays a $200 million ransom within 72 hours, in a video posted on jihadist websites on Tuesday.

In the video, a black-clad terrorist brandishing a knife addresses the camera in English standing between two hostages wearing orange jumpsuits.

$200M will buy a lot of 1,000 pound bombs, 500 pound bombs, hellfire missiles, and other appropriate items for air-delivery to ISIS and other terrorists. I hope Japan’s government will deliver the payment demanded, by air and on target.

Why isn’t the civilized world not turning their territory into glass?

They have to call Brussels and Riyadh first, to check whether they are finished using this particularly ugly tool they have created.

Fat chance. Those small-wanged pansies ain’t got the balls.

Who's got the South Park pic of the two Japanese toy owners - "We have so small penis, how we compete to big American penis?"

Uh-huh. MacArthur made them institute a pacifist constitution for a reason, just like was done with Germany. The Shinto Emperor cult induced the people into a fanaticism on par with that of the worst Muslim terrorists. What with Shinzo Abe being a member of the Shinto Association of Spiritual Leadership, which is working towards restoring state Shintoism, what would his aims be in scrapping Article 9?

Untrue . There are a lot of false claims and generalizations about Japan’s treatment of Muslims that have been thrown around and this is one .

What a great thing to be a 10 yo kid in 1967.

At 5 I was convinced that I could become Astro Boy if I prayed to God hard enough.
