It appears from an online video that Jihadi John, of the Islamic State, has beheaded the Japanese journalist, Kenji Goto.
The video was released late Saturday and shows an orthodox Muslim man with a British accent beheading the non-Muslim, ergo infidel, but its authenticity could not yet be confirmed by the Associated Press.
Japan's deputy foreign minister, Yasuhide Nakayama told the press yesterday that Japan's efforts to free the hostage were "in a state of deadlock."
Fox News National Security Analyst, KT McFarland spoke about the failed trading of the hostages for Sajida al-Rishawi, a terrorist imprisoned in Jordan for her role in the murder of 60 Jordanians in 2005. "You can't trade, you can't negotiate with terrorists, you can't pay ransom for hostages," said McFarland. "This is the new normal in the region and they have now got the momentum."
She said that we know there are more hostages being held by ISIS, including an American woman, and that ISIS is going to try making deals, but she believes that we need to "switch the momentum, seize the momentum and what we in the West must say, the Americans, the British, the Japanese, anybody else who has hostages who have been beheaded or who are still being held, we should say 'no more ransom; no more negotiations; no more terrorist swaps for hostages. Here's the new deal: we are going to put money into a pool, we're going to raise $200 million and we're going to use that money as a bounty on your heads.'"
I think she has a good idea here. Nothing is going to stop them, and no Muslim is going to come forward unless there's enough money involved to make it worth their while.
And while we're at it, can we not do any further deals with Taliban terrorists and American traitors?
