I hope Jordan follows through with their threats of executing all Isis and Al Queida prisoners. This is beyond incomprehensible........there are no words to describe this act. I watched the video, and there is no way any human, regardless of how vicious he or she is, should be capable of an act as despicable as this was.
Japan to take military action? unilaterally? huh?
is this the line?

With the killing of the second Japanese hostage by Islamic State there seems genuine anger in Japan as demonstrated by Prime Minister, Abe. Japan is not known for its emotions but there were real tears in the Prime Minister's eyes; and the mother of the second hostage was beside herself with grief on hearing the news of the death of her son.
The second Japanese hostage knew the risks he was facing yet perhaps not even he thought he would be captured and executed by Islamic State.
Japan has highly powerful armed forces but since world war 2 they have not fired a shot in anger and because of its world war 2 constitution drawn up by the victorious US occupation forces Japan cannot take unilateral armed action, only in self defence may it act.
Japan has a proud history of a martial past as outlined by the tradition of Bushido, the Samurai, Ninja and of course Karate. Its history is very similar to the feudal system and chivalry that operated in Europe. However Japan has to tread carefully, as does Germany, because of its atrocious war record during world war 2; but, that does not mean that the land of the rising sun cannot be a military power again on the world stage.
Japan is not only facing a common enemy with the west with Islamic extremism but also lives in a dangerous neighbourhood of the world, where you have old rival China and, of course, North Korea. Although, as mentioned earlier, Japan has a large army, navy and airforce, Japan since the end of world war 2 has depended largely upon the United States for its defence, and US forces are still based to this day in Japan.
Certainly this awful execution of both Japanese hostages will give those in Japan ammunition for Japan making a more assertive military presence on the world stage. Prime Minister, Abe, himself has stated from the word go he would like to see a more beefed up Japanese military able to stand up for itself and come out of the shadow of the United States.
Of course, Japan is a free country not occupied by the US any more but both countries are tied together and Japan would probably have to negotiate with America should the Japanese self defence only constitution be altered allowing Japan to take military action in response to groups like Islamic State.
I, for one, would not fear a resurgent Japan. In fact, it would give the west a strong ally in our fight with: Islamic extremism; in the permanent stand-off with North Korea, and help to contain a growing Chinese super power

Amman (AFP) - Jordan will execute Wednesday an Iraqi would-be suicide bomber on death row and other jihadists after having vowed to avenge the murder of a Jordanian pilot by Islamic State jihadists, an official said.
"The sentence of death pending on... Iraqi Sajida al-Rishawi will be carried out at dawn," the security official said on Tuesday, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Make an example of a country, say Yemen. Drop a few nukes until everything is totally dead. Then issue our own fatwa saying if the moderate Muslims dont take actions against these Fucking barbarians then we will wipe another Muslim country off the map. Continue that until these moderate Muslims deal with the shit themselves. If they never do, then it's still a win because most of these animals will be killed by us nuking countries one by one.
BREAKING NEWS: Burned alive in a cage: ISIS release video claiming to show horrifying murder of captured Jordanian pilot
Militants fighting for the Islamic State terror group in Syria and Iraq have released a video they claim shows Jordanian pilot Maaz al-Kassasbeh being burnt alive while locked in a cage.
The footage, which is titled 'Healing the Believers Chests' appears to show the captured airman wearing an orange jumpsuit as a trail of petrol leading up to the cage is seen being set alight.
Flames are seen quickly spreading to the cage where they completely engulf the helpless pilot in images that are far too distressing to publish.
Yesterday Jordan government spokesman Mohammed al-Momeni said the kingdom was doing 'everything' it could to secure the release of Kassasbeh, who was captured by ISIS after his F-16 fighter jet crashed in territory controlled by the militants in Syria in December.
However the statement came with an explicit threat that if 'hero' Kassasbeh came to any harm, Jordan would 'quickly judge and sentence' all those it holds on suspicion of being members of ISIS.

The video comes just days after ISIS' British executioner in chief, Jihadi John, savagely murdered Japanese journalist Kenji Goto in a shocking filmed beheading after days of intensive negotiations through intermediaries to save him.
The person with the vest is a chick? No wonder these people are angry. If I had to wake up to this dude every morning I would volunteer for a suicide mission immediately. If the virgins that await them look like this, I would convert to Judaism.
Fucking animals, now Japan and France are wanting in. How damn difficult would it be to put together a coalition to eradicate these pieces of shit. Fuck Neville Chamberlain and the pacifists currently in office....time to fuck some ISIS people up and send them to see their transgender virgins.
[h=1]Thousands gather in Jordan to demand blood: Female suicide bomber ISIS had claimed they wanted freed will be the first of six Islamist prisoners executed tomorrow[/h]
Gunfire and rioting has also reportedly been witnessed in the Jordanian town of Karak, the hometown of Mr Kasasbeh. Roads have been blocked with makeshift barricades and thick smoke has been seen after locals started to burn tyres. At least one government building has been torched.
Disgusted protesters took to the streets just hours after the release of a sickening 22-minute-long ISIS video that shows Mr al-Kasabeh being burned alive while he was locked helpless in a cage.
The release of the expertly-edited video - which represents a new level of barbarity from a group notorious for its savagery - has prompted Jordan to announce it would execute all six prisoners convicted of association with ISIS at dawn today, roughly 6.40am (4.40am GMT).

[h=2]PIERS MORGAN: Watching ISIS burn a man alive was the most abominable thing I have ever seen - and any Muslim who won't stand up to these barbarians must watch it too .[/h]
"My finger hovered over the ‘click’ button.I’d heard that ISIS had burned a young Jordanian pilot alive in a cage, and there were numerous people posting the snuff movie on social media.
I wanted to watch it.
To see for myself whether it really was, as many claimed, the ‘sickest video ever made’.
But I hesitated
I don’t ‘need’ to see a man burned alive. Nobody ‘needs’ to see such an abomination.
It’s diabolical enough that it happened at all. Why compound the misery of that man’s life ending by acting as some kind of complicit voyeur?
Then I pressed click anyway.
I watched those murderous bastards light up a trail of petrol into a small cage, I watched as Lieutenant Moaz al-Kasabeh caught fire, and I watched as he screamed in horror and burned to death.
It was just as repulsive and sickening as I feared it would be. Truly the worst thing I have ever had to witness, and as a journalist for 30 years I’ve seen a lot of unpleasant things.
But I’m actually glad I watched it.
Glad I saw in real time, on professionally-crafted movie-quality video, exactly what these monsters are capable of.
Glad I know they have no limits, no humanity, no semblance of any kind of soul.
Glad I saw the undisguised joy in their evil little faces as they perpetrated such a despicable act on a fellow human being.
Glad they repeatedly switched the camera shot from blow-torch to their victim’s face so we can be under no illusion what utter sadists they are.
I’m glad about all this because it allows me to feel such uncontrollable rage that no amount of reasonable argument will ever temper it.
And that’s precisely what we all have to feel now towards ISIS and those who support its hideous activities.
We all have to feel the same kind of unquantifiable, collective horror everyone felt when the full scale of the Nazi concentration camps was revealed.
Hitler’s Nazis and ISIS share similar aspirations and values:
The extermination of vast numbers of people.
The pursuit of power through death and mayhem.
The ability and willingness to commit physical and mental torture and murder so depraved that it defies belief or reasoned understanding.
And as with the Nazis, the world must now come together to rout and destroy them.
The big question is how?
This is not a conventional enemy that operates with an army, air force or navy.
It’s a disparate, amorphous entity whose tentacles spread wide around the Middle East.
Hard to track, thus hard to defeat.
But I believe ISIS made a big strategic error today.
Moaz al-Kasabeh was a devout Muslim.
He was the first high profile Sunni Muslim from a state involved in the US-led coalition ‘war’ effort to be executed.
By killing him in such a grotesquely barbaric way, ISIS should rouse the decent, civilized Muslim world as never before.
It’s easy to justify attacks on the West by screaming to young, impressionable poverty-ravaged minds that it’s ‘revenge’ for all the bombing campaigns in Iraq or Afghanistan.
It’s far tougher to justify the bestial immolation of a young Muslim man to other young Muslims.
This war, and it is a war, will not be won by American military power, although that will play an important factor.
It will be won by the Muslim world turning on ISIS, rooting them out of their societies and bringing them to justice. Of the legal or fatal kind.
King Abdullah of Jordan described ISIS today as a ‘criminal and misguided group which is not related in any shape or form to our great faith.’
He’s absolutely right, and it’s a massively important distinction.
As I wrote after the Charlie Hebdo in Paris, these people are not real Muslims. They’re terrorists who have hijacked Islam for their own nefarious gain. And like all terrorists, their sole currency is violence.
That violence will get worse. We can expect even more gruesome videos than we saw today.
They will sicken our hearts and test our resolve.
But Islamophobia, which erupts after all these attacks, is not the answer. Tarring a whole religion with the same poisonous brush of terrorism simply serves to make the problem worse.
Far smarter for the West to recognize that the vast majority of Muslims hate ISIS even more than we do and want our help in destroying them.
The time for any negotiating – not that I ever thought we should - with ISIS is over.
We now know they lie.
Moaz al-Kasabeh was killed a month ago, yet they pretended he was still alive to try and extract money from Jordan.
ISIS are a bunch of glorified school bullies, albeit on a grander scale of viciousness.
They survive and thrive purely through fear and threats.
Sometimes the only way to deal with a school bully is to thump him on the nose.
This particular thump though, has to come from Muslims; those hundreds of millions of Muslims who’ve had enough of seeing Islam’s name and reputation being desecrated in this way.
And the thump has to be hard enough militarily, financially and politically to ensure ISIS is cornered and isolated like a diseased rat wherever it tries to operate.
If any Muslim remains in any doubt as to whether this is the right time to stand up and cry ‘NOT IN MY NAME OR MY RELIGION!’ then I suggest they too watch the video of Lieutenant al-Kasabeh being burned alive.
He could be YOU.
This is YOUR war."
