Britain is waking up this morning to the truly dreadful news of the ISIS beheading of US news reporter James Foley and the threat of another murder of US citizen Steven Joel Sotloff . Please pray for the families of these men at this terrible time for them:

Our Lord in Heaven, please save us from this evil spreading throughout the land, this evil - surely the work of Satan and his followers. Father, wrap your loving arms around the family of James, comfort them in their time of deep sorrow and distress, let them know you are with them sharing their pain and father we ask for the protection of Steven, show the perpetrators the right way - your way before another life is lost and another family has to go through this. Father let this evil lead to something good for your glory and protect us all. In Jesus' precious name we ask. Amen.

Why has your President Obama been off playing golf whilst this has been going on???

TO be fair until an american got beheaded I was perfectly okay with letting the middle east consume itself in warfare. THe place has been in constant combat for as long as i can remember. Let them wipe each other off the earth I say. I feel terrible for the family of the journalist and its horrible what happened. At the same time no job is worth that much danger.

Yes, well, it's vacation time you know. He's off work as commander in chief of America at the moment.
Meanwhile, Biden mans the office as VP. What's he doing about all this?

What's the Congress have to say? Shall they set aside their partisan politics and work unilaterally with the democrats to stop this evil?
Stay tuned.

Wait till its someone important having their head stuck up on a stick. I bet we'd see something happen if Sasha was beset upon by ISIS while on an international tour as a Hollywood intern with some mega star.
Heck, Iraq would likely become a sea of glass over night were that to happen.

Meanwhile, reporters and Christians lose their heads to the demonic ISIS? That's on the second burner when Martha's Vineyard takes priority. It's stressful work being a Muslim in office after all.

/sarcasm and disgust.

Our president and congress allowed ISIS to take over Iraq, almost invited them in by leaving.

Typical political decision to divert attention from the numerous scandals and breaking of the Constitution of this administration...

and people die because Obama wanted a few points in poll ratings.

We got change alright, we sure did.

ISIS is not a terrorist organization. It is not a "consuming itself in warfare" commonality. The likes of ISIS has not been seen since the 1300s, when the Sunni Caliphate fell to the Golden Horde of Kubla Khan. This is a Caliphate, a very specific meaning to Sunni Muslims. They have declared al-Baghdadi as the heir of Muhammed, meaning he is the leader of all Muslims in all political and religious situations. This is the true Jihad, not what al-Qaeda is. People are leaving their terrorist groups, leaving America, Europe, Turkey, Jordan, Pakistan, the world because the Caliphate has been established once again. The Sunnis are rising to support this leader.

As a comparison, think of the amount of Jews who would flood Israel if the Temple were rebuilt? Think of the amount of Germans who returned home when Hitler called them to defend the Fatherland. These two comparisons if combined will give you an idea of what ISIS has done. Like the muezzin call to prayer, al-Baghdadi has called on the world Muslims to come, swear allegiance, and help found and spread the Caliphate, and they are coming. This is not terrorism, this is the Middle Ages Jihad.

President Obama on vacation is a bad image and makes for bad press, but that's about it. He has everything that he needs to perform his job wherever he goes.

IMHO, if he continues executing the plan that he has in place to defeat ISIS, being on vacation sends a message that America continues normal operations in spite of ISIS attempts to distract us. In this battle, image to ISIS is much more important than image to the press.

I'd like to see our special forces capture ISIS members, cut their heads off, then bury their corpses and heads in a mass grave filled with pig blood and guts. Broadcast this on global television and send a message they'll understand.
Long live the memory of General Black Jack Pershing! "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!"

And exactly what kind of message would that send? They would only retaliate twice as hard as they are now. Violence begets violence, BlackPlatypus. The only thing these people understand is violence. What you're suggesting with a mass grave filled with pig guts and blood is just gross and disgusting, and shows where your heart truly lies at. Jesus told us that we would be persecuted and killed for our faith in him. This is prophesy fulfilling itself and there's nothing we can do or say to stop it now.

According to scripture it will be the Lord not us that corrects this situation. Their blood will run as deep as a horses bridle in that day.

As a Christian I wait for my God to take His vengeance on those who hate Him and Israel His chosen nation.

For the cause of Christ

Jesus was God incarnate. As Jesus he took a whip to the money changers in the temple. As God he drowned the whole world, and guided the Hebrews to slaughter countless people in his name and for his glory.

Violence begets violence. Yes. ISIS set off on this violence because they want to slaughter everyone everywhere there are American soldiers intent on stopping psychopathic Muslim terrorists from exacting Sharia law on innocent people. And contrary to the tenets of Sharia law, which should only be prosecuted against Muslims, ISIS prosecutes in the name of Sharia those who are non-Muslims.

Don't judge me and call yourself a Christian for the effort. You're condoning mass murder of Christians by terrorist Muslims.

Why don't you and people like you consider God, who attends those in the military and that is why there are military chaplains in all branches, exacts his vengeance through the U.S. military!

Black Jack Pershing was a general stationed in the Philippines in the early 20th century. He was also a Christian. And to quell the then terrorist assaults perpetrated by terrorist Muslims he captured a band that was intent on cutting his and his mens heads off. He stood them before a mass grave that he had them dig, and then he filled it with pig guts and blood. Because swine is abhorrent in Islam. Pork is forbidden.
He then had his men shoot all but one terrorist so that they fell into the grave. And being they were buried in pigs blood and entrails this insured all the infidels they slaughtered would achieve them nothing. They would not enter paradise for the effort after all. Because they were condemned, forbidden paradise for eternity. Damned to suffering instead for being coated in pigs blood and entrials. All per the tenets of Islam and Sharia.

Pershing then let the single Muslim terrorist he'd spared go. So that that terrorist could testify to what he'd witnessed.
Which he did.

And there was peace in the Philippines after that for generations.
WWJD? Lady, read your Bible! He's going to send every last one of them straight to Hell!

Why should our service people and innocent journalists have to suffer beheadings, Christians too, because you think we should what? Give a terrorist a hug?

Oh, I know, lets let them kill us. Turn the other cheek, right?
Ever met a terrorist Muslim? I have. Turn the other cheek as an infidel and Christian and that terrorist Muslim will spit on you. And then they'll take their blade and cut your throat.

But that's OK, right?

Oh, wait. I just saw mad parrot's country flag appear on the board. UK? No wonder.
The UK government disarmed her people. Not even cops carry weapons. If they need weapons they have to call a special group of cops who are allowed weapons to a scene where weapons are needed.
And while time passes, those who aren't law abiding exact their carnage using illegal weapons.

Remember Lee Rigby!

Not a soul stopped two Muslim terrorists, British citizens at that, from slaughtering him in the street of Woolrich. Using a cleaver and machete, they butchered a man who served in the military band and they cut his head off .All in broad daylight.

And what did the disarmed citizens do? Why, they watched! But most of them took out their smart phones and filmed the whole thing. Hey! That's exactly the kind of society you're arguing for MPL.

Lee Rigby would have lived had he been on the street in Detroit. I guarantee it. But those Muslim terrorists wouldn't say the same thing.

WWJD, you ask?
He did it.
Lee Rigby was a Christian.

The operations of civil governments do not always coincide with that of individual christians.
The christian is called to turn their cheek; government is called to wield the sword in the protection of it's citizens.

It may be ''Middle Ages Jihad'' but they are using terrorism to accomplish it.

Neville Chamberlain may agree with you but I don't think radical Islam would be content with their 'little spot'.

Hardly. Already al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, and Hamas members in the Islamic State have been crucified. The heads cut off is something based out of the Middle Ages. They rule through Sharia law. They have no wish to terrorize their enemies to win. They wish to conquer, launch the Jihad, take the world by storm like they almost did in Europe. Already Sunnis are heeding the call of their Caliph. This is no pirate king, no terrorist cell. This is growing into a nation will a military. Our only hope is to crush it now, before Iran wages war against the Caliphate, and sides have to be taken.

Also, Nautilus, they have no wish to be left alone. They left their flag in front of our White House. It the same sign of war that Salah al-Din did when he had his banners secretly placed around Jerusalem so that in the morning the city would wake to see the banners everywhere. Its an Islamic Medieval custom that means a truce has been broken and victory declared in faith that Allah will win the day for them.

Seriously, start studying your history books and realize this is no little group. They already rule much of Eastern Syria and Western Iraq. If they take all of Syria and Iraq, al-Baghdadi will claim to have united Islam, since in the Middle Ages there were two Caliphs, one was Shi'ite and the other Sunni. The Shi'ites ruled in Syria, the Sunnis in Baghdad. To unite those two worlds would be the sign of his victory.

al-Baghdadi does not claim to be a Muslim leader. He claims to be THE Muslim Leader, second only to Muhammed and Allah. al-Baghdadi claims to be of the tribe of Hussein, Muhammed's son. He claims to be the heir that was prophecied when Baghdad fell to the Golden Horde of Kubla Khan.
