U.S. Officials: Video Shows Beheading Of American Journalist

Heya NP. :2wave: What was so impressive about BO peep's speech?


James Foley's parents: 'He was a martyr, a martyr for freedom'.....

In a press conference on Martha's Vineyard, Obama said he was “heartbroken” by the beheading of Foley at the hands of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS). “Jim was taken from us in an act of violence that shocks the conscience of the entire world,” the president said. Obama said he had spoken to Foley’s parents and told them “we are all heartbroken at their loss and join them in honoring Jim and all that he did.”

The Foleys said they never lost hope that their son would come home. His last words, they said, were: “I wish I had more time to see my family.”.....snip~

James Foley's parents: 'He was a martyr, a martyr for freedom'

I think for the first time he was truly angry and showed it Usually he does not want to be bothered and does nothing about any incident......Lets see if his actions back up his words. Sadly I doubt they will.
 
The method of fighting ISIS is right in front of us, they project their weakness, but we seem unable to exploit it. ISIS is a death cult with a very particular spiritual dogma that governs whether or not they will get into heaven. When you challenge those beliefs by killing them in a manner that ensures -- in their minds -- that they won't go to heaven their will starts to crumble. We have already seen this happening on the Kurdish front.

Among their exploitable weaknesses:

1) If you are killed by a woman you don't go to heaven. The Kurdish army has units of only female fighters that ISIS has a real hard time dealing with because suddenly facing women who are killing them they lose feeling of invulnerability. We can exploit this by sending in female Navy pilots to bomb ISIS positions and let them know it was women killing them.

2) The well known belief of the dying unclean send you to hell can be easily exploited.

3) They believe that being decapitated robs you of heaven. We may need to exploit this.

4) They believe that being burn denies you heaven. Refuse to bury their dead as they lose ground. Instead burn them on piers in plain sight.

When you do this you rob them of their sense of invulnerability.

I read somewhere years ago the Brits were dealing with Muslim fanatics in one of their colonies and they got them to back off in a most creative way. When they killed they buried them with pigs.
