No. they should not allow these to be televised. ever. They should not allow them on the internet, the internet services should pull them the minute they show up.
If these psychos don't get the publicity it would hurt their cause.

You say the victim who was burned alive was guilty. Now you seek to show others.

Who are you recruiting for?
Good points, I know I sure could find something much better to do with my time.

Would you make an effort to see these videos? Please reply to my poll.

Here is the lasted one where the man is set on fire:

WARNING, EXTREMELY GRAPHIC VIDEO: ISIS burns hostage alive| Latest News Videos | Fox News

Nah. I'll leave that to the professionals.

About 30 years ago I took a class in Judaism that included the events of the holocaust of course.
There was a film we watched that had an unusual history because it was documentary of sorts filmed by the Nazis to show the world how they rid of world of Jews and other "misfits". The film was confiscated by the French so it was dubbed in French with English subtitles. After seeing it, I cried myself to sleep for a week.

The point is, seeing that film made me understand there was unspeakable evil that man can do. It was not only the horror of watching the film footage and pictures, but the grief I felt that human beings, my fellow species, could be so cruel. Since then I haven't been able to watch Holocaust films... even knowing I "should" see Schindler's list, if only for the artistic skill etc. I couldn't bring myself to do so.

This isn't about the Holocaust of course, but just explaining my personal reason why I would not voluntarily "watch" a beheading video or other horrific video. I keep up with the news, I have heard some descriptions, but I don't need to "see it to believe it" because I absolutely believe it!

Youtube and FB yanked them.

Fox put it out there.

Reportedly terrorist organizations are tweeting the Fox link to the world.

NO, I am doing my best to stop watching disgusting videos......that video falls into this category.

I have many years of reality-based videos, many of them nightmarish, burnt into my brain.

Don't worry, ISIS, Fox News apparently has your back and will broadcast your propaganda video to millions of people. You know, so we "know what we're dealing with." As if being told in text "the pilot was burned alive in a cage" is not enough.

With all of that said, I do understand that Fox is acting in a journalistic capacity and it is not necessarily their place to censor the news because the viewers would be offended. They did give a warning before showing the video.
