ISIS Video Shows Beheading Of One Japanese Hostage

by JASmius

Well, the Islamic State did give the Japanese government 72 hours to fork over the $200 million they were going to contribute towards shoring up the government of Iraq and assisting refugees in Turkey, Syria and Lebanon who have fled the Islamic State’s rise.  And the deadline expired yesterday.  So, right on schedule, Haruna Yukawa has been “fundamentally transformed” into two formerly connected pieces:

A Japanese hostage captured by Islamic State (ISIS) militants was said to have been killed after a deadline passed for Japan to pay a $200 million ransom to secure his release.

Haruna Yukawa, a self-styled security contractor, was beheaded, according to a Twitter post today from SITE Intel Group, based in Bethesda, Maryland, which monitors terrorist activity. A video was released showing the other Japanese hostage, war correspondent Kenji Goto, pleading for his life and asking for the release of a woman imprisoned in Jordan for allegedly attempting to take part in a suicide bombing, according to the Twitter post.

The Japanese aren’t fighting ISIS.  They have no troops on the ground, no military assets in the region, nothing.  Just a pledge to provide humanitarian assistance to the refugees of the self-styled “caliphate’s” conquests to date.  But even that’s too much, as is the fact that Japan exists outside Muslim-controlled territory and doesn’t bow to the latter’s demon “god”.  So they must all be eradicated, just like the rest of us.

I realize that today’s Japanese people are deeply pacifist, and I get that they’re demographically dying and that their economy is in a total shambles these days, and I know what happened the last time they got a little too into that whole Bushido thing,  But a small dose of it would be awfully helpful right about now, wouldn’t it?  I’m sure Mr. Goto is contemplating his inner Samurai right about now.
