BTW the hostages in that photo were released.
to me, the burden of proof is on the "moderates."

LOL!
You know, that photo is actually a laugh riot. (I can say this assuming you correctly asserted the hostages were freed) I’m imagining a conversation something like this.
Nad’eer: We, de peace loving peeeple (snicker heard on left) of de jihad....what?
Magdish: Peace loving? You crack me up all de time with dat. Peace loving! How do you not just lose it?!
Nad’eer: Come on, we’ve got a lot of filming to do, try to hold it togedder.
(Abdul enters from right, with no weapon)
Magdish: Abdul, where is your weapon?
Abdul: I cannot find it! Allah be praised, I swear I put it under my cot when I was praying! It wasn’t dare when I went back to get it.
Nad’eer: Go get some-ting, you look like a child standing dere wit no gun.
Magdish: Go get my udder one, it’s wit my bomb making books.
Nad’eer: I’ll keep going, Abdul, you enter when I say the part where I say de infidel will be punished, you know dat part?
Abdul: I tink so, yeah.
Magdish: Hey, don’t get my new gun, use de older one, it’s de one wid de black magazine!
Abdul: Oh, bummer, I was really liking de idea of showing off de new one, it’s really imposing!
Nad’eer: Juss get anyone!
(Abdul leaves)
Nad’eer: We, de peace loving peeeple of de jihad, (pauses and looks at Magdish), will never rest until de infidels are dragged from there homes, in blud-lined streets filled with blud!
Magdish: You said blood twice in that sentence.
Nad’eer: Yes, ders lots of blud.
Magdish: all I’m saying is it sounds funny, but not funny haha, funny bad.
Nad’eer: Whatever! Let me finish. The infidels will quake...(Abdul enters, with a box cutter)
Nad’eer: WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!
Abdul: You said ‘infidel’.
Nad’eer: But I didn’t say the ‘infidels will be punished’
Magdish: Did you not find my AK?
Abdul: No, I think I was looking in Malaka’s gear, all he had was this.
Magdish: A box cutter? You don’t look threatening wit dat! Get a real weapon, de kind that would strike fears in de viewers!
(Abdul leaves again)
Nad’eer: (Flips page) The snakes that crawl will be above the dead bodies of the American soldiers...
(Abdul comes in again, with a rocket launcher)
Abdul: Look at this! Is this not de most imposing weapon?
