Yet the Koran requires nonbelievers to convert, pay a heavy tax, or die.

Jihadists beheadings sow fear, prompt Muslim revulsion

Never understood why folks get so up in arms over beheading.

ISIS could just as easily shoot you in the head...what's the difference? Dead is dead.

Exactly, look how many killings happen in the Chi-town 'hoods on a weekend.

You eventually get used to it and just go about your business.

Come on Muslims get a grip. It's just a tiny minority.

It's the shock and awe factor.

31 million people in Iraq. <100,000 dirtbags in ISIS. That's 310 people for every ISIS animal, just in Iraq. Does anyone really BELIEVE that Iraqis actually oppose ISIS? If so...I have some money I need help getting out of Nigeria.

We have no reason to sacrifice American lives to "help" the people of the ME again. If they are decent people they will get off their butts and defeat ISIS on their own. If not, they deserve what they get. We should be using our manpower to secure the southern border and take our inner cities back from animals not much different than ISIS. On a per-capita basis I'd bet some neighborhoods in DC and Chicago are still more dangerous than Iraq or Syria.

According to some fundamental Christian beliefs , Jews and other non- believers will be given a similar choice.

your 2 paragraphs contradict each other.

You want to argue that people support ISIS simple because it is outnumbered but hasnt been taken down yet, but you dont say the same of the problem in the inner city have existed for decades.

I guess.

Beheading is just another form of killing to me. I'm neither shocked or awed by it.

If the terrorist would have put a gun to the guy's head and pulled the trigger, and then posted the video on the Internet, I'm pretty sure the outrage would be exactly the same.

Given a choice......I would be shot.

Did you the first video......his blood was pumping out.

That means he lived though the first cuts.....not a painless death.
