I don't know why anyone finds this surprising. IS is killing people left and right, enslaving religious minorities, making the women serve in brothels to be raped as a reward to the men as well as children of both sexes being used the same way. They are killing ALL journalists, Muslim and non Muslim, American British Syrian Iraqi...IS doesn't care where the journalists are from.

Journalists ought to know the risks, it's not something we can resolve diplomatically. ISIS is a nasty bunch, and when our own citizens join them, that is just sick!
This was few days ago...ISIS threatens Twitter employees in U.S. and Europe.
ISIS declares war on Twitter
Hopefully Twitter will keep closing the accounts despite the threats (or promises) to those in California. Social media being used to spread it's influence at its finest.
In other news, my thoughts and prayers with the families of these journalists.

It is a real crisis for Cameron, and it underlines a sobering fact: British citizens have volunteered to go to Syria to fight at 25 times the rate that Americans have done so, when adjusted for population size.
Some 500 British citizens have traveled to Syria to fight, as have 100 Americans. The population of the United Kingdom is about a fifth of that of the States.
I really don't think anyone find it surprising it's a very disturbing and horrific crime and meant to intimidate American & British to stop bombing ISIS and I say we should bomb them all the more after this.
The problem with these crazy people is they don't realize that the more they kill the more we will bomb and hopefully this time we won't stop bombing until every last one of them is dead! I also find it interesting that they all seem to wear masks, yet we seem to know who they are, so who are these cowards trying to fool?
The British man wasn't a journalist; he was an aid worker.Journalists ought to know the risks, it's not something we can resolve diplomatically. ISIS is a nasty bunch, and when our own citizens join them, that is just sick!
problem? don't realize? LOL
they know and they don't care. that's why they're crazy. martyr. it's a very profitable motivating business for them.
here's what WE don't realize. the more we keep bombing them, the more terrorists there will be because they will keep showing up in news headlines and it's furthering their cause. the only only only way to make them go away is to make the world turning its back on them.
think about it. we have mega-billion dollars of defense budget and we have the world most high-tech deadly weapons plus highly-trained special forces... and yet why can't we end them all? think about that.
Exactly. They serve an important function, to keep us informed.. . . Journalists takes risks to cover on what's happening in war and peacetime to get much information as possible as their duty. ...
