“Islamic militants in Iraq threatened to behead a South Korean hostage by Monday night unless his country scrapped plans to send 3,000 more troops — a demand rejected by Seoul.”*

These barbarians know no limits to their violence. They believe God is behind them in these sick acts and they will continue to do such until 1.) They believe God tells them to stop 2.) The world is one large Umma or Islamic State 3.) They’re dead.

You can’t negotiate with people of this mindset. These terrorists are not terrorists of old. They’re not playing the terrorism card for exclusive political gain. In old-style terrorism, they don’t kill large numbers of people. They know it would shore up public support, turn maybe a small amount of empathy into anger, enrage other world powers, and eventually lead to their demise.
