The Islamic State (ISIS) group threatened to kill two Japanese hostages unless Tokyo pays a $200 million ransom within 72 hours, in a video posted on jihadist websites on Tuesday.
In the video, a black-clad terrorist brandishing a knife addresses the camera in English standing between two hostages wearing orange jumpsuits.
“You now have 72 hours to pressure your government into making a wise decision by paying the $200 million to save the lives of your citizens,” he says.

They’re not your father’s Japanese, I’m afraid.
100,000 or so . Don’t know how many of that number are Japanese who converted , but I daresay that % is tiny .
Fat chance. Those small-wanged pansies ain’t got the balls.
The hostages would never be able to live in Japan after making their fellow Japanese pay 200 mio for them. They would rather kill themselves than live with that shame.
It’s time for Japan to unleash Johnny Socko and his Flying Robot!
Count the hostages as dead.. agreed to pay.. and then kill any they can find involved(<-and all those they know).. after gross torture after bugging a few of them with animal trackers trak them and then kill any that appeared involved with them.. muslim or not.. and this should go on until they find the nest.. even if it is in Paris or Berlin..
The Japs don't allow them in to begin with.
Or much of anyone else for that matter.
Smart.
I know you live there. I defer to your first hand knowledge.

Maybe make a deal with the Yakuza?
“Why isn’t the civilized world not turning their territory into glass?”.....
Because that would be “un-civilized” and besides, there are too many innocent people caught in that country that would obviously become casualties of war. Last, odumbo would become very upset if someone killed some muzzies, the same muzzies he is obviously trying to protect.
Just a reminder to everyone here:
This has nothing to do with Islam and in fact is all Israel’s fault.
And you don’t have to take my word for it, just ask John Kerry.
