German Sailor Beheaded by ISIS-Aligned Group

All of Merkel’s kowtowing and submission to  Islam has not garnered any more favorable treatment for her countrymen who fall into the clutches of the jihadis. We are all kuffars after all.

I suspect Merkel’s head will roll (figuratively of course) in the coming German election.

The world has become inured to these daily acts of savagery in the cause of Islam. It’s striking. The horror at the beheading of Daniel Pearl is now met with a shrug.  The West’s accommodation to Islamic demands and mores has made us less civilized. Leftist elites at the EU, the Democrat party, and socialist leaders in the West (ie Canada)  et al advance the most savage ideologies under the guise of ‘love’ and ‘diversity’ and ‘tolerance’– importing cultures where love and diversity and tolerance are non-existent.

Kantner was murdered at 3.30pm local time yesterday by the Islamic terror group

The Kantners were kidnapped by Somali pirates and held hostage for 58 days in the Gulf of Aden in 2008.Jurgen Kantner was one of 33 known hostages currently held by the ASG and follows a long list of beheaded hostages.Already in 2016 the ASG have beheaded Canadians Robert Hall and John Ridsdel while Norwegian Kjartan Sekkingstad was released after his ransom was paid.

In 2014 a different German hostage was released following the alleged payment of a $5.6 million (4.5 million) ransom.

Because ransoms have been paid, hostages are very valuable to the ASG and the cycle is unlikely to end if ransom continue to be paid, which likely means more hostages will be executed.
