I hope that Japan unleashes HELL on these savages.

Why isn’t the civilized world not turning their territory into glass?

Depends on what you mean by the “civilized world”. Would those states that are gung-ho to recognize “Palestine” be part of that world?

The ISIS terrorists seem to like dressing like ninjas though.

I’d be in full agreement with sending in ninjas (and kunoichis too, to emasculate the misogynistic Mohammedans) as the rescue party.

Oh how I would love to see the Japanese kick some ISIS arse , but I don’t see that happening . If these 2 end up being beheaded , they ought to use that 200 mil. to immediately round up and deport as many Muslims in Japan as they can .

Japan should count those people as dead, and respond with a commando team assigned to take revenge.

The Soviet Union would have known how to deal with these. See Jack McKinney in the Philadelphia Daily News, January 15, 1986.
