Too sad for words...

We need to unite to stamp out this evil. And be very careful not to feel resentment against Muslims.

My guess is that these evil, sick and twisted IS bastards, had already killed off Jordanian pilot, and then saw that Japan was NOT going to pay $$$$ to these TERRORISTS, so they went back to their plan B, and chopeped off Kenji Goto's head off and it is most likely now all over the internet. RIP Goto san

It boggles the mind that any foreigner or outsider, journalist or otherwise still gets anywhere near an IS controlled town. Stay out of there! Use common sense, not a journalist's bravado.

at least he can rest now. There is a time for grieving but it is not now, now is the time to stand strong and fight. Where is the outrage from the so called people professing islam as a religion of peace? Unless the so called enlightened Muslims fight, this evil will continue.

Jihad = hate.

There is still debate in America whether Islamophobia is acceptable, but certainly we can agree that ISIS-phobia is well justified, and denounce and take measures against this evil organization.

Very sad news! My deepest condolences to Kenji’s family. Why some people like to travel to such places like Syria, Iraq, Somali or Afghanistan? I guess they are ready to share the risks. Why they not considering that they are the primary target for such criminal acts? Thousands of death Arabs will never make such a resonance in mass-media. Also It’s very scary that’s going on in Middle East! Muslims will start to claim that OUR religion is very peaceful, blame Israel and Western countries and insure that they have rights to resist…
