ISIS subjected James Foley to mock crucifixions because of his Catholic faith

[DemocratSinceBirth]

This really frosts me!!!

[LordGlenconner]

1. I wonder what their point was?

That their bullshit religion was more legitimate than his bullshit religion?

[blueamy66]

5. Yeah because Catholics are beheading people

And don't throw the "they molest boys" BS at me...

Not the same.

20. Sadists are going to be drawn to ISIS just as they were to the Crusades

If you revel in subjecting people to torture and death, ISIS is a paradise. Instead of pulling the wings off fly's and kicking puppies one can delight in crucifixions, beheading and a host of other delicacies not permitted anywhere else.

2. They're going to get what's coming to them.

[malaise]

3. Now where did they get that idea?

4. Why is it ALWAYS someone else's fault.....never the one who commits the act? nt

[malaise]

6. My response has nothing to do with fault

It's merely pointing out that outrage is misplaced and hypocritical since George Bush said he was on a crusade and members of his army used biblical quotes on their weapons.

Whe you illegally invade a country and use religion as cover expect a response.

[stevenleser]

7. How would that give them the idea to mock-crucify someone?

I'm not seeing how you made that leap.

[malaise]

9. Take off your blinkers n/t

[stevenleser]

10. I think you are pushing your suggestion too far.

You have a desired conclusion and you are forcing an idea to get there.

[malaise]

11. Do you have a clue what Bushco did to Iraq and the Middle East?

Do you think only one side can torture people and demonstrate a lack of humanity?

Grow up!

They hate Americans and you know why. They are simply as evil as those who killed their relatives and destroyed their countries. Where do you think many of those refugees fled to? Do you know the chaos created by the West?

Look all human beings are capable of evil - expect an evil response to evil.

[stevenleser]

12. Taking the discussion off on a tangent will not help your premise. nt

[malaise]

15. Whatever n/t

[brentspeak]

18. The people who tortured and killed James Foley

were British nationals whose primary hardships in life were trying to pass their A-levels and hiding their pot stashes from local constables.

[qazplm]

26. they hate America so much

they are torturing and killing folks in the Middle East?

[NuclearDem]

28. They hate anyone who doesn't subscribe to their perversion of Islam.

Please pick up a history book on the Middle East before continuing to suggest that everything in that region has to do with the United States.

[clarice]

14. Couldn't agree more. And people hate when you call them on it. nt

[Zorra]

17. It's spelled R.E.V.E.N.G.E.

An army from the US partially comprised of RW christians embarked on a new Crusade, and killed a million or so Iraqis, probably mostly RW Muslims, for no reason whatsoever.

And destroyed the country in the process.

Kind of like how indigenous folks of the Americas got indiscriminately murdered by christian armies.

Religious wackos of every stripe have been torturing and killing people in new and improved ways, probably since the dawn of religion. Putting the heads of your enemies on poles, for all to see, is a time honored tradition in the history of violence.

I can definitely see mock crucifixion as a way to mock and intimidate christians.

Unjustified violence begets more violence. Imperialism causes violence.

The PNAC deliberately got the US involved in eternal war with Muslim nations. They hate the US for what our government did to Iraq. Hate.

Hate is what results when you invade someone's home and indiscriminately kill someone's babies, children, relatives, wives, husbands and friends out of greed.

[IronGate]

22. Funny, you support Russian invasion of the Ukraine,

yet condemn the US in the same breath.

[malaise]

25. Wrong - I don't support Western interference

and backing neo-fascists to facilitate Western aggression against Russia.

[IronGate]

27. Except that's not what's happening,

Russia is the aggressor against Ukraine.

[tabasco]

29. Right on, Che.

LOL

[gordianot]

8. It should also frost anyone who claims religious values.

An Islamic version of the so called "Christian" Klan. This is not exactly what Mohamed had in mind (and confirmed by reading Islamic scholars) when I read the Koran some years ago to the same degree the Klan is contrary to Christian scripture. Ignorance among those who claim religious values may be bliss but it is also dangerous.

[whatchamacallit]

13. Where did this story come from?

[uppityperson]

16. link?

[gordianot]

19. Check CNN stood up against wall in that pose.

[whatchamacallit]

23. Something like this?

[gordianot]

24. Right very much so!!

21. Francois remembers seeing Foley, a Catholic, forced to pose against a wall as if he was being crucif

"He was an excellent cellmate in detention because he was very caring. He was brave. He had great courage," said Francois.
James Foley's prayers and the dark side of faith
Foley stood up to his captors and often asked the militants for simple things like bread for the other prisoners, he said.
He recalled his captors forcing prisoners to endure mock executions. Francois remembers seeing Foley, a Catholic, forced to pose against a wall as if he was being crucified.
