Abdul-Rahman Kassig: US hostage 'killed by IS'

A video posted online claims to show that Islamic State militants have killed the captured US aid worker Abdul-Rahman Kassig.

The video shows a masked man standing over a severed head which he says is that of Mr Kassig.

The US says it is working to determine the authenticity of the video, which also shows a mass beheading of 18 Syrian troops.

Mr Kassig, also known as Peter, was captured last year.

His family, who live in the US state of Indiana, said they were awaiting confirmation of the reports about their "treasured son".

"We prefer our son is written about and remembered for his important work and the love he shared with friends and family, not in the manner the hostage takers would use to manipulate Americans and further their cause," the family said in a statement.

"This proved they are nothing but anti-western racists and that’s not in the koran."

Welllll ... actually if you are unencumbered by the process of a tortured Orwellian PC re-interpretation, that there is pretty much the best working two word summary I've come across for what the koran sets out as an heroic vision for what ardent young muslims can aspire to become if they are dedicated students and work very hard at it.

That is an interpretation and criticism of a piece of literature and thought system ... disclaimer for the thought police lurking.

Before the Obama administration finishes we’ll be dropping rocks on them. After all stoning is biblical, isn’t it :)

So much good it did for him to convert to the religion of conquest, murder and rape.

Let them go. Their stupidity raises the IQ of both countries.

If he did in fact convert, then ALL bets are off.

Sleep with dogs you get fleas.

Call me a bad person, but I have zero sympathy for this coward or his family. His mother is still wearing a burka to show "solidarity" with ISIS. The family is still speaking out in support for terrorists despite the fact these cut throats beheaded their son.

Liberalism is a mental disorder. I guess this is one of the only cures.

I doubt this man was a Christian, as a true Christian would never deny Jesus or God. I'm betting he grew up as a secularist or some really liberal church like Unitarian or Evangelical Lutheran Church where everything holy is trashed and every trashy is honored.

Hopefully mommy and daddy visit Jihad John to show their "solidarity", it would result in two less liberals in Indiana.

The “Infidel” American converted to Islam and that still did not stop the scum Muslims from decapitating him. I thought if you repent and take Allah into your jockstrap that they would go easy on you...oh well, so much for trying to “help” the Arabs help themselves...

Kassig’s tattoos appear to quote a Christian saint.

The news said he had converted. Probably in an effort to save his life.

I was eating at a nice restaurant (upscale) yesterday and a muzzie, his wife and two brats were sitting 10 feet away. I say “brats” because that’s what they were. They never sat down and were constantly running around. She was constantly going back and forth to the buffet brunch and was dressed in blue jeans while he just sat in his seat reading something. Probably the Koran.

It was almost too much to take. Mercifully, they left. Never saw them eat much.

I think all Muslims that won’t disavow in the strongest terms and publicly their cults murderous ways should be deported!

And, why should cultists mosques be allowed? They are not a religion!

"It reminds me of the guy who got eaten by a bear..."

That was Timothy Treadwell. We call him Timothy Snackwell, even though that line of cookies/crackers is no longer made.

Every year that joke gets less culturally relevant and thus less funny, which is sad.

Stupid is as stupid does. I can’t work up any outrage at this no matter how hard I try.

If they weren’t actually eating then Momma Muzzie was probly poisoning the buffet——hope you didn’t take any more stuff off it after she got thru piddling in it?

So does the State Department have a travel ban on Americans going to terrorist hotspots?

I suppose not since we let non-citizens come in from terrorist and ebola hotspots.

Lol, more likely they were sharing (stealing) food since one brunch plate was 20 bucks!

Timothy Treadwell. Not much difference really. Muslims always revert back to their base, animal natures no matter how tame one might think they have become.
