get no comment from any of our members in the UK?

Before the execution of the two Americans, the attitude here seemed to be "oh, well, tragic but nothing we can do". Their execution has changed that.

How are the Brits feeling about one of their own becoming a victim?
 

If there isn't a lot of response Georgia, I think you could chalk one up for the never-ending 24 hour news cycle.

I was saying something along those lines just this morning to my husband. Three weeks ago, every headline screamed either about the tragedy of Gaza or ongoing efforts of Russia to overthrow Ukraine or ISIS. Now seems like it's on to other stories even though those events are still working their way through the system. In fact, in HP, the story that you're referring to is the fourth story down. News cycles you know.
 
I considered it to be inevitable....
it goes to show that ISIL are really evil; UK hadn't even bombed them...so they have no principles or scruples; not that I thought they ever had.
this will continue, regardless, until the Arabs themselves realise that their own countries and people are threatened.
the killings wil continue..
 

The twisted irony with these beheading is that they suspect a British national jihadi john orchestrated and/or participated in these beheadings. They're total cowards not even taking actual combatants(this guy was an aid worker)-what kind of sympathy/empathy do they think they'll generate other than recruits from the shock me or Jack A$$ culture. And that will be short lived.

RIP
 
I felt the same way about the British subject as I did the American subjects. Although we rebelled and became independent, I still think of England as the Mother Country. I have much respect for all English speaking countries, even though I sometime feel there is much anti-American feelings among them them. Yet, in their eyes it may be justified. We are sometime ugly and arrogant, bless our hearts.

Yes, I think we would see big changes if the Arabs contributed more to the cause, hopefully they will.
 
It was certainly inevitable as Vivjen says. There is nothing we can do, our Government won't pay ransoms [rightly] although the French and the Italians do pay.The more countries agree to pay the more they take hostages.All the aid workers know the risks, just like the journalists.In some situations it should just be air drops for aid. These 'IS' Muslim thugs are animals.It's no use any of us Brits getting worked up about it.A person is a person no matter which country they hail from.
 
These were not executions but horrific murders!! as for comments from UK members? can't speak for them but most of us don't wear our hearts on our sleeves and keep our feelings to our selves. Have voiced my opinions before on this, keep journalists and aid workers away from troubled areas!.
 
The papers and news outlets over here have kept us informed of developments.

It must be very distressing for the families involved.

Some satellite channels broadcast much more information and most people have access to these channels.

I can also tune into many other broadcasts with our remote controlled dish.

If they continue to kill hostages in this fashion they are accelerating their own demise.

At some stage their training facilities in Syria and elsewhere in that region will be targeted

Once a proper coalition is formed we should see some action.

I so agree about keeping journalists & aid workers away. I made the comment that if all the media stayed away, I wonder if the situation would get as bad as it has.
ICIS making videos of their brutality for the world to see, it doesn't get much worse.:mad:

 
Fern, I wonder what it would take to stop all avenues of publicity to ISIS? If they didn't have a platform, what good would showing their atrocities be with on one to see or be shocked by it? :shucks::tapfoot::dunno:
 
3 beheadings which officially makes these jihadists serial killers; criminals, not fighters for a cause. What do they think they are accomplishing exactly.

Even more frustrating is the recruits they are getting. Read today 1,000 French Nationals have joined along with several Brits, Americans and Australians/New Zealanders-what is the draw.
 
The people who were executed..2 journalists and a charity worker..died in the most horrible circumstances imaginable...The jihadists will continue this..as they know the western world is totally shocked..

But before they murder these people they ask for ridiculous amounts of money..$80,000,000..

We must get our charity workers..journalists..and anyone else who is not a Muslim..out of there immediately..
 
All these murders were horrific and simply baiting America to respond. ISIS is trying to make this a war of Isalm against America. They should have been careful what they wished for IMO. I'm not holding my breath for much help from the rest of the Western world. We'll go it alone as usual, rid the world of yet another scourge, and be ridiculed as always.
 
We have never ridiculed you..the trouble is..when you are fighting Muslims..they are not afraid to die..actually they embrace it..what can you do when your enemies embrace death?..

We must remain impervious to their barbarism..
 
When Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi were deposed and executed..we weren't freeing the Arab world..we had opened Pandora's box...
 
It's like that game at the fair..''whack a mole'' whilst you are hitting the mole..two others pop up and you miss them..

But apparently the ''Brit'' who is carrying out all these executions is a paranoid schizophrenic..
 
That all?!
this is beyond my comprehension; perhaps that is why I feel what is happening is inevitable; we just have to keep going, and keep living...
 
Frankly it is beyond my understanding...How someone can take a small knife..and behead an innocent person whilst being filmed..
These things are meant to shock..the west is not ''au fait'' with the proceedings..
I know it could be hard..and maybe we should take another path..laugh at them..
