So far Japan has not agreed to any ransom....However they have offered billions to other groups to fight ISIS...buying time? ISIS is outraged about Japan PM not agreeing to ransom. ISIS calling on Japanese to pressure the PM.

I think ISIS should have done some research, because ‘suicide bombing’ was created by Japan used in WWII...K pilots. As for Martial Arts...Oh well, I wonder how proficient ISIS would be in a hand to hand fight with Japanese warriors?

There were Chinese fire ships, which were long before WWII. I believe there were even earlier weapons than those though. Kind of funny though, in the old days, China had plenty of weapons like flamethrowers, rocket launchers, etc., that were well ahead of most other nations at the time.
