BARBARIC: WARNING: VERY GRAPHIC IMAGES – ISIS Beheads an American Journalist (PHOTO)
Just so we don’t forget who the enemy is, ISIS has given us visual proof that they are butchers. The American is James Wright Foley, he’s been an independent journalist covering the middle east for about five years. He was taken captive by ISIS in 2012.
The stills are cut from a video that was released today by ISIS titled “A Message to America.” You can follow the Twitter feed on Foley’s death HERE. Epoch Times has a report on Foley’s murder.
A figure in a black robe with a gun strapped on his person and a masked hat covering his face, apart from his eyes, appears in the video next to Foley.In the video, the Islamic State says that U.S. President Barack Obama’s authorization of strikes against the group places the United States “upon a slippery slope towards a new war front against Muslims,” according to BNO.“Any attempt by you, Obama, to deny Muslims liberty & safety under the Islamic caliphate, will result in the bloodshed of your people,” the ISIS person added.Foley also speaks in the video, saying: “I call on my friends, family members and loved ones to rise up against my real killers, the U.S. government.”Foley vanished in northwest Syria on Thanksgiving Day, November 22, in 2012.
It will be most interesting to see if President Obama can take some time away from the golf course to make a speech and if the State Department will set up a hashtag, maybe #FoleyWho?
