Last week, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe pledged $200 million in non-military assistance to support countries affected by the campaign against ISIS during an ongoing six-day Middle East tour. Today ISIS released a video threatening to kill two Japanese hostages unless they receive a $200 million ransom in the next 72 hours. What the media is not telling you is the true scoop: one of these two Japanese is a Muslim jihadi who converted to Islam and that Tokyo is unlikely to pay a $200 million ransom to free the two hostages and if they are beheaded (which most likely they will), this plays right into Shinzo Abe’s game plan against the country’s anti-war constitution.
...
One of the hostages is Haruna Yukawa, his first name is not Haruna but Harukana Yukawa and his Facebook shows him handling an AK47 quite well. Harukana twisted his name to an Islamic name Harun, a common Muslim name.

There are believed to be around 100,000 Muslims in Japan. Prior to the emergence of ISIS, one can find many examples of so-called moderate Muslims in Japan turn wild. Take for example, Hassan Ko Nakata

No tears over that one.
I lived in Tokyo in the 90s and the Iranians that had come into the country on temporary work visas and overstayed became a problem. Crime was up, as well as assaults and general mayhem.
In Tokyo, they were mostly living in the Ueno Park area and it became known as Little Tehran. Very dangerous.
One dawn, every policeman in the country, shoulder to shoulder closed in on the place and every Middle-Easterner was captured and processed. If any had no papers or expired papers, boom, taken to an aiport and punted back.
That night, true peace, like a moslem has never known, reigned over Ueno park. My girl friend left her purse on a fountain the next day and she got it back with everything intact, including the money.
If it’s a jihadi, then who cares?
Japan had better not pay one cent to save a jihadi.
Yeah, I’ll save my concern here for someone else too.
I was feeling a little mischievous that day so told him his uri-kata (sales approach) was heta (unskillfull). He needed to shout, and then I demonstrated the right way in a loud voice:
IRASSHAIMASE. HENZO TELEKADO HANBAICHU DESU!
(Come and see, doctored telephone cards for sale.)
The guy took off like a rabbit with a priceless look on his face. Some of the Japanese in the area hurried on, others gave me scattered applause. It was a lot of fun
why are the jihadists threatening to kill a jihadist?
The prisoners/hostages in these situations often (but not always) seem sympathetic to the Islamist cause. Whether that is Nick Berg, Bo Bergdahl, or “aide workers”.
Hmmm. Then illegals CAN be removed...
Moslem jihadists have been killing each other since the 7th Century.
Ha! Maybe they should have sold them like the Yaki imo (sweet potato) venders, with a loud speaker. “Benri desu, yo!” (Very convenient).
You are lucky, two or three of them and they would have knifed you. Iranians are not little people, size-wise, and very brave in groups...
I lived in kita-senjyuu, used to eat at the 5th floor deep fry place at Matsudo Eki-Mae every week...!!
Good times...!
B.Obama will see if they will accept some more Gitmo jihadist officers.
Too bad they aren’t more efficient. The problem would take care of itself, then.
No tears for Achmed Hashimoto then!
Bloods should stay out of Crip territory.
I’m a big guy myself and this guy was alone. He wasn’t going to try anything with that kind of crowd around.
I'd often load up on a very spicy tempura udon and add some shichi-mi to it to make it even spicier during the cold and flu season.
It really cleared out the sinuses!
