Former Army Ranger Peter Kassig has been murdered by the barbaric savages of the Islamic State.
This unfortunate turn of events was certainly not a surprise. The Islamic State doesn’t release hostages. They behead them or crucify them, based on Islamic religious doctrine.
We have viewed the 16-minute propaganda video from the Islamic State. We will not link it here.
The video actually depicts an orchestrated mass beheading, not just the murder of Kassig.
One thing stood out in the video when we were looking at the twenty or so Jihadis doing the beheadings (see image below): There were many different ethnic groups represented.
Clearly, the Islamic State has gathered recruits from Muslims around the world.
This is something we already knew, but there are still many in the West who are in denial about the widespread support for and outright popularity of the Islamic State amongst the umma around the world.

RIP.
I agree with this.
I don’t think we should indict him for his “conversion” under duress.
Especially when his cellmates are disappearing and he’s the only one left.
I willing to give him a pass...in fact, anyone who faces the same question under the same circumstances should be welcomed with open arms to the TRUE lord and savior!
I think we should give any captured ISIS members two options:
Painful, lasting torture and a cruel death;
or having a lifetime of being studied, poked and prodded to find out if there’s some scientific way of reversing the ROP inside of these crazed minds...and when no longer useful, a quick, painless death.
Peter broke under pressure as well.
The military assumes people will break.
It is now years past time when our elites in DC should start working on behalf of America and securing our borders and using our standing Army on our behalf. There is nothing in the ME that Americans should pay for or die for. We gave the Iraqis a multi trillion dollar chance that bought us nothing but heartache and big bills for our country. Were we and Iraqis better off with Saddam, is a debate worth having.
Those in the Middle East need to fight this themselves. Why isn’t Iran being brought into the fold to stomp ISIS? They hate each others guts. Instead we hold hands with the Saudis and the country that attacked us on 9-11. They are closer to ISIS than any. The enemy of thine enemy is ?
We need to get out of the ME and start refining and using all this oil that we have that big global oil claims will make us self sufficient, while they work behind the scenes to export it.
"Jihad John" called him by his given name, which to me suggests he didn't convert, and all that conversion nonsense was a bunch of media speculation.
OK, here it is.......
Peter Kassig was CIA
“all that conversion nonsense was a bunch of media speculation.”
Also speculation by the parents, fellow aid workers and hostages. What would they know.
He could have lied about it to save his bacon. But those monsters are sadistic enough to kill one of their own. That was known before Kassig was brutally murdered.
Let’s stick with the facts, shall we. He converted to Islam, changes his name, treated Al-Qaeda wounded fighters, called a devoute Muslim by other hostages, and even parents were running around in Islamic rags calling him Abdur Rahman. Even obola called him by Abdul.
But let’s pretend that he was a devout Quaker who was emulating mother Teresa.
Thats the way I see it. A good soldier who decided to become a Utopian.That cost him his life.And shamed his own country.
Whats more is that the same Utopians are in cahrge of the US executive branch, and they won’t be coming for Kassigs body anytime soon, very much opposite of the way it used to be when we had an honorable government.
At home Nero fiddles while Rome burns. Love to see his a$$ run out of Washington, back to Indonesia where it belongs.Or even better, turn the prig over to Jihadi John so he can experience first hand what other Westerners have suffered at the hands of ISIS, and whats more, film it for us.Whats good for the people is good for the leader, is that not the way Obama preaches his democracy?
Sorry; but ABDUL was killed by folks claiming alliegence to the same god he had chosen to serve.
Well...
...according to his mom and dad...
Grandpa (deceased Methodist minister) must be spinning.
Matthew 10:33
But whoever shall deny me before men,
him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
True; but he gave his SOUL for a false religion.
Rest in Peace?
Then he should have ACCLAIMED Him as Lord!
There will be MANY MORE who will face this; if the Book proves to be true, after all.
And I saw thrones and they that sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them. And I saw the souls of them that had been beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the Word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast, nor his image, nor had received his mark upon their foreheads or on their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
I want to know what was tattooed on his left arm...
