Terrorists Execute U.S. Hostage

U.S. Hostage Beheaded, Terror Group Says​

By SALAH NASRAWI, Associated Press Writer


RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - An al-Qaida group said Friday it killed American hostage Paul M. Johnson Jr, posting an Internet message that showed photographs of a beheaded body.

The statement, along with three still photos, was posted on a Web site where the group frequently makes announcements. It appeared around that the time that a 72-hour deadline set by the kidnappers ended.

"In answer to what we promised ... to kill the hostage Paul Marshall after the period is over ... the infidel got his fair treatment," the statement said.

"Let him taste something from what Muslims tasted who were long reached by Apache helicopter fire and missiles," the statement said.

Johnson, who worked on Apache helicopter systems for Lockheed Martin, was kidnapped last weekend by militants who threatened to kill him by Friday if the kingdom did not release its al-Qaida prisoners. Saudi security forces launched an all-out search, going door-to-door in some Riyadh neighborhoods, as Johnson's wife went on Al-Arabiya Friday pleading for his release.

American Nicholas Berg, a businessman, was beheaded last month by his captors in Iraq, and his last moments later appeared on a videotape posted on an al-Qaida-linked Web site. U.S. officials say al-Qaida-linked Muslim militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi may have been Berg's killer.

When is this going to be over??

 

When is this going to be over??

when all none muslims leave arabia
when all lands ever ruled by islam for example spain and india are ruled by muslims
when isreal doesnt exist
and really until the world is ruled by their brand of islam
and sheria law

or when islam is forgotten like the worship of thugee or mars

they are following the last wishes of the prophet mohammed

if hes shown to be a fake and people no longer believe he was a moral man just some cheap desert thief then they are unlikely to believe that killing people for him will get them into heaven

poor chap a very nasty way to die

 

We should just leave them alone and let them kill themselves off, if that's what they want to do....we're only making it worse....it's really just part of their culture to be this way. There is nothing we can do to stop it. We're just wasting lives and money for nothing. It's so depressing. It makes my stomach hurt.

 

The problem is, they want to kill us as well, whether we get involved or not. Best get rid of the lot, I say - let the innocent Muslims practice their religion in peace, and punish all the terrorists.

 

But there's the problem - terrorism is more of an idea than a finite group of nutjobs. You can kill terrorists but you can't kill the idea. Running a purge of all crazy fundamentalists is not only practically impossible but is also not an endearing policy to the rest of the Muslims, and pushes the Arab layman to side with the terrorists more.

 

The "Terrorists" are very similar to the KKK here in America. They, like the KKK, have taken a legitimate religion and twisted things around to fit the society they want. As "infidels" we are not ever going to be tolerated in their world, much as blacks (and jews to a great extent) were considered second class citizens in the Jim Crow days. In fact, the "terrorists" want an 11th century world free of everyone not Arab. We must fight and work to teach the majority of the Arab people that we can all live and love life together. It will take many years to overcome the evil that has grown in the Muslim world, just like here with the KKK.

 

You are mistaken by saying that Islam is "legitimate". It is not peaceful, or missunderstood. It is violent, it is discriminatory, and wrong.

 

That is about the most ignorant unamerican statement I have ever heard. Way to be a hipocrite yourself by being discriminatory against an entire faith.

 

Are all those things you say. BUt, there are millions of Muslims living peacefully in this country. So, what you say can't be right.

 

God Bless America speaks the truth... I'm surprised to see that statement come out of you Maverick, that's just plain ignorant, no other way to put it.

 

Indeed this is so sad to hear. The man lived in a 20 minutes from here...so even more intensly, New Jersey weeps. Unfortunetely we are looking for revenge instead of peace...

 

Technically, Maverick is right. By the Koran, anyone who dosen't follow Islam is an infidel and must be dealt with accordingly. It's either convert or die, when you get down to it. However, since most Muslims are good people they're willing to overlook that little letter of the law the same way that most Christians overlook the fact that missing mass one Sunday is grounds for eternal suffering in Hell, yet they haven't gone in years

 

Fuck those fucking fuckers. The dude fuckin tried to help out people fer like 20 years in Saudi Arabia, and they fuckin kidnapp and kill him 'cause he's white. Fuck that shit. I saw this on the news, and I was thinkin "Now I know why we torture, and abuse, and do all this shit!" I got an idea, lets just kidnapp a well to do, middle class muslim family, and fucking start demandin that the location of Osama fucking bin Ladin be reported, or we'll fucking kill one of 'em every day until we get the information! Give those fuckers a taste of their own fucking medicine! Kill the kids first, then the parents. Fuckin send the tape directly to Al Jazeera! Heh heh, les see what happens then?? Then we'll get together with Russia, and nuke this little shitball we call Earth.

 

Umm...no, FreakyJoe...have a cookie and chill....

I don't think there's anything we can really do now. At least it seems like that to me. It's just gone too far and we'll never have the kind of peace we did before. How are you supposed to win this kind of war? It could go on forever, just like all of their wars that have been going on for centuries. We've screwed ourselves, and the only way to end it is some harsh, extreme action that everyone would regret. It just feels so hopeless.

 

Yes, but we are not ordered to kill. We are not ordered to force conversion. They are. We overlook nothing.

 

[Prepares to catch some shit]

Americans fucked with the hostages THEY had....killed them, raped them, ridiculed them. What is the difference....JUST because HE was American, and you hate Iraqis and felt THEY deserved what happened to them? I haven't heard one American complain about what THEIR soldiers did to those Iraqi prisoners....Only *Well, they deserved it*....
...All is fair in love and war.


But...my condolences to the family.

 

He was an innocent man, though. He wasn't really fighting against anyone. His family said he loved Saudi Arabia and whatever....he'd been there for ten years! He respected these people and adopted their country as his second home.....he didn't deserve this at all.

The prisoners that were abused were prisoners of war that were captured in battle, not innocent civilian snatched off the street and used as an example.

 

It's sad, and the man certainly didn't deserve what happened to him. But, this would have never happened if it wasn't for our country's own actions. Keep in mind that several of the prisoners at Abu Ghraib were beaten to death, yet this has went largely uncovered by the American media. They might not have been beheaded, but they were indeed tortured. Of course this doesn't justify killing an innocent person, but it shows what we're up against.

 

it's sad....

it's all so sad...

yeah, the guy didnt deserve it and well, i dont have much to say that hasnt already been said.

war is sad- people are fucked up, what can ya do?!

 

Nothing...
