well it was a crap movie, and i totally predicted the ending half way through. but still... I support use of drones to wipe out these evil ****ers. I don't support the use of kids and manipulating them with video games though...
I meant a willing Ender.

Completely agree that there is no point trying to be open minded with IS but at the same time we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that the Iraq invasion was a massive mistake and that IS are to some extent a product of western foreign policy failure in the region |

He died as a result of going on a hunger strike for his 'cause' and while it is different to actually being executed by the state, I used it merely to illustrate my point of view about 'Martyrs' because he was immediately hailed as one by the IRA, but it did not result in masses of recruits to their cause, nor did it affect the terrorist war one iota, and the memory of this 'Martyr' was very short lived outside the hard core of fanatics within his organisation. I make no apologies for my view that the bastards should be covertly tortured in order to extract information, because such information could potentially save thousands of innocent lives as well as enable this war to end early in our favour. As to bloodlust, then if that is what I am accused of so be it, but in my opinion it is these evil madmen who have the bloodlust, and I prefer to just regard myself as a realist who 'has seen' the terrifying future if we do not abandon our sense of civilised, moral superiority, and start doing whatever it takes to comprehensively defeat these evil lunatics. The difference between 'us' and 'them' is that they are so warped that they are willing to die to achieve their aims. This being so, we should ensure that once captured these bastards should indeed die -but to help us achieve our aims instead of theirs. In my view I am not an alarmist - just a realist, and just as my viewpoints are regarded by some as 'radical' , I am equally perplexed by their viewpoints. In fact, I am reminded of the British 'Raj' dressed to the nines in Tuxedos and cummerbunds, and pearls and evening dresses, in the Raffles Hotel in World War 2 Singapore. When the first gunfire sounded as the Japanese advanced, they danced on - convinced that no such horrors could ever encroach upon their 'oh so civilised' world. I wonder how many times they rued such complacency while they were being daily abused by their Japanese captors in Changi POW camp - those who survived anyway. Anyway, we are all entitled to our points of view and this is mine. |

Yeah been a couple of videos released today of an American being beheaded as well as him leading a mass beheading of Syrian soldiers, so either they were filmed beforehand or as you say he wasn't that badly injured after all

I'm not sure we can excuse ISIL's reign of terror because of Iraq, a war we - the public - were led into on a lie despite massive public disapproval. ISIL have overstepped anything that could have led to any kind of understanding. They can't be negotiated with, they can't be reasoned with and they should be eradicated.

With a name like Jihadi John, it's little wonder that he's fighting on the same side as the terrorists.

With respect MTVN - because I always do respect your point of view - I'm tired of people trying to explain why this is happening, in effect excusing ISIL and making it all about what the West has done as if they have a right to carry out these act in retaliation. There is no excuse for what they ISIL do and there is no explanation for it apart from this: ISIL are a bunch of murdering terrorists who will do what they do because they hate anyone who isn't with them. Killing children in front of their parents, making people watch as their wives and daughters are raped and then murdered, all the terrible, sickening things I've heard about ISIL since it all began makes me wonder how anyone can, with a straight face, say there is any kind of explanation for what they're doing.
