ISIS Beheads Japanese Christian Who Tried to Save Captured Friend
Christiannews.net ^ | 2/1/15 | Heather Clark

According to a new video released by the Islamic barbaric group ISIS, which also identifies itself as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, a Japanese Christian man who had traveled to Iraq in an attempt to rescue a friend who was captured by the terrorist organization has been beheaded.

As previously reported, Kenji Goto, 47, who became a Christian in 1997, told reporters last year that he felt compelled to do what he could to help rescue Haruna Yukawa, 42, after he was abducted in August near the city of Aleppo. Yukawa had been through a number of difficult life situations, including bankruptcy, his wife’s cancer diagnosis and a suicide attempt, and thought that perhaps becoming a military contractor would change his life for the better.

After learning that Yukawa had been captured by Islamic insurgents, Goto left Japan in October and eventually made his way into the ISIS-seized city of Raqqa.

I really, really, really think we should 100% destroy a village for every hostage killed. And ramp up from there. 1000 to 1 response. At least.

The terrorists need to feel more terror than we do.

Matthew 25:

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Just another Man Caused Disaster.

Janet Napolitano was indeed prescient when , in one of her first actions as head of Department of Homeland Security, she renamed acts of Islamic terror “Man Caused Disasters”.

The massive world wide resurgence in terrorism by Islamic Radicals over the last 6 years is indeed a man caused disaster.

The man who has caused the disaster of the resurgent explosion of terror attacks by al Qaeda Islamic radicals has a name.

That name is Barak Obama

Fight terror with terror. It is the only language these Muslims comprehend. Find every single relative of every ISIS thug and kill them. No exceptions. None. And, no mercy.

Zer0 wants history to be rewritten to make the victory of George Bush into a defeat and all the chaos that is created a blame.

It is for us to stand our ground and keep the history straight, for our sons who died for freedom and the lives in vain that Zer0 created.

And, golly gee, none of the US military, special forces or black budget intelligence people can find ISIS. But, teenage girls who want to find them manage to do it quite easily.

Jihadi John is the eeeeeeevil bad guy created for the TV addicted rubes so we are in a constant state of fear, anger and frustration. Americans are being played like a Stradivarius.

Try 20 years.
It's been going on so long that the Army was actively war-gaming it at least fifteen years ago.

And yet you have Western churchmen doing Satan’s work by insisting that Christians and Muslims worship the same God. If they believe that, they are heading for Hell. In the First Commandment God says, “You shall have no other gods before Me.”

The god of Islam does not send a Savior for sinners and command followers to love others. Allah commands his followers to earn their way to paradise by hating and murdering others, including their own children. Hideous.

No, no, no, no! We’re supposed to send in the lawyers (JAG) and determine the appropriate limp-wristed response then apologize before taking any action such as sending in a sternly worded letter. /drippy-drippy-sarcasm

This is probably very, very close to the truth.

You are so correct. Allah is not the God of Abraham.

Muhammad was a prophet for Satan. Maybe Allah is another word for Satan. The Muhammadans sure act like demons.

An honorable thing to do, but not too bright.

Agreed.

Bill Clinton's “Foreign Policy Does Not Matter” foreign policy set the stage for the rise of Bin Laden, al -Qaeda and the Taliban

George Bush got handed this s**t sandwich by Slick Willy and spend the bulk of his presidency successfully putting the Radical Islam genie back in the bottle.

Obama didn't just let the Radical Islam genie back to of the bottle, he broke the bottle into small pieces to make it as hard as possible for any succeeding President to put the genie back into the bottle a second time.

Same on us for electing both of these profoundly destructive men to the office of President of the United States, not just once but two times each to second terms - even after we knew what kind of Presidents they were during their first terms.
