ISIS Releases VIDEO of Barbaric Mass Beheading of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians in Libya (Update: Egypt Bombs ISIS in Revenge for Beheadings)

ISIS releases another barbaric VIDEO showing the mass beheading of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians in Libya. Making matters worse, if possible, these vile acts took place in Tripoli, Libya. Remember when we used to have a presence and am embassy in there? Just yet another example of Barack Obama’s failed foreign policy and terrorist on the run.

Islamic State has released a video purporting to show the militant group beheading 21 Egyptian Christians kidnapped in Libya.

The video, released this afternoon, shows ISIS fighters dressed head to toe in black, marching the captives, all wearing orange jumpsuits, to a beach.

The 21 men can be seen being forced onto their knees before they are beheaded by the militants standing behind them.

The extremely graphic video first appeared on the Twitter feed of a website that supports Islamic State.

A caption on the five-minute video read: ‘The people of the cross, followers of the hostile Egyptian church.’

PICS – Warning, graphic imagery.

In the picture below from the YouTube VIDEO, the masked ISIS terrorist says, “Safety for you crusaders is something you can only wish for.” Thanks Barack Obama for providing these savages talking points when you stated at this years National Prayer breakfast that some how Christians were to blame for all of this because they started it with the Crusades. You sad and pathetic excuse for a president.

“Safety for you crusaders is something you can only wish for.”

UPDATE I: Egypt Bombs ISIS in Revenge for beheadingd of 21 Coptic Christians.

Egypt sent warplanes over the border to bomb ISIS targets in Libya on Monday in revenge for a savage attack on Egyptian Christians.

It was still dark when the F-16 fighter jets took off, striking training camps and weapons depots along Libya’s coast. One of the targets was Derna – headquarters for many Islamic militants who have sworn allegiance to ISIS.

The bombings came a day after ISIS released a video that appears to show the execution of 21 Egyptian Christians. Masked jihadis are seen marching the captives along a beach, a few whisper their final prayers and then all are beheaded.

Most of the victims came from the Christian village of el-Aour, south of Cairo. On Monday relatives sobbed and shouted in grief. One father begged for the return of his son’s body. Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al Sisi visited Cairo’s main cathedral to offer his condolences and condemned what he called “a heinous act of terrorism.”

Kayla Mueller’s Friends and Family: The World Is Better Because of Her, “I Have Come to See that There is Good in Every Situation …”

IF THIS DOES NOT BREAK YOUR HEART AND PISS YOU OFF AT THE SAME TIME TO GET THESE EVIL BASTARDS … YOU MAY NOT HAVE A HEART.

If there was ever a story of Good vs. Evil in today’s world, this is it. The family, friend, loved ones and the world speak out to remember and honor 26 year old Kayla Mueller. There is never a worse story to report than one of an individual with so much love, giving and hope in their life, to have their life cut short by miserable, sadistic and barbaric evil. Such is the case of 26 year old Kayla Mueller, whose family was told that this bright light had been confirmed dead.

Kayla Mueller was a special girl who was silenced by evil. What this girl must have gone through is unimaginable. America … this was one of your daughters, sisters, nieces, cousins. At what point does this president get off his “high horse” and take ISIS seriously? These SOB’s need to be eradicated like the cockroaches that they are. We do not need to be lectured about how we are evil, how the Crusades are responsible for terrorism and that Christan are to blame. Take your twisted ideology and hate America agenda and stick it, with all due respect. At some point America needs to take these barbarians seriously, they are not the JV that Obama claimed. They need to be exterminated before more innocents like Kayla Mueller are killed.

Kayla Mueller’s aunt, Lori Lyon, Expresses her heartbreaking words over the loss of Kayla …

Kayla Mueller’s Friends and Family: The World Is Better Because of Her.

Friends and family of slain ISIS hostage Kayla Mueller said they hoped her death would achieve what she’d worked for before she was kidnapped: raising the awareness of Syrian refugees.

“The things that were important to Kayla are finally getting the attention they deserve,” aunt Lori Lyon said in a tearful news conference in her hometown of Prescott, Arizona, Tuesday — hours after the family confirmed that Mueller had died while in ISIS’ hands.

The Rev. Kathleen Day, who runs the United Christian Ministry at Northern Arizona University, where Mueller was a student, recalled following her blog posts from Syria. “I hope you can tell the entire world here what I’ve said here, and what I’ve seen,” Mueller wrote, according to Day. The pastor also recalled Mueller’s recollection of refugees’ frequent response when they learned she was American: “Where is the world?”

“We’re right here, Syria,” Day said. “We’ve seen your suffering reflected in Kayla’s eyes.”

Childhood friend: Kayla Mueller ‘was joy’

Kayla Mueller: American ISIS Captive Wrote Letter to Family Before Her Death.

In the emotional letter, she does not say anything negative about her captors, writing that she is “completely unharmed + healthy (put on weight in fact); I have been treated w/ the utmost respect + kindness.”

Instead, she puts the brunt of her emotional turmoil on herself.

“If you could say I have ‘suffered’ at all throughout this whole experience it is only in knowing how much suffering I have put you all through,” she wrote.

According to the letter, she relied on memories of family camping trips and her faith to help her during her captivity, writing that “by God + by your prayers I have felt tenderly cradled in freefall.”

“None of us could have known it would be this long but know I am also fighting from my side in the ways I am able + I have a lot of fight left inside of me. I am not breaking down + I will not give in no matter how long it takes,” she wrote.

Bob Woodward Says on ‘Fox News Sunday’ … “There’s No Strategy” For ISIS and Obama White House Is “Micromanaging” Military

FRIGHTENING, JUST FRIGHTENING …

Yesterday on FOX News Sunday, WAPO’s Bob Woodward responded to Chris Wallace’s question regarding how Barack Obama is handling the war against ISIS and what to make of Obama’s comparisons to the crusades. Woodward eviscerated the Obama White House for having no plan for dealing with ISIS.

Bob Woodward said the military is upset because Susan Rice is telling the generals how to fight.

“If you talk to people in the White House and the military, I think there’s agreement and John McCain is right and General Flynn is right, there is no strategy. They have not sat down and said this is where we want to go and this is how we want to do it. And the measure of that, when you head into the weeds here, people from the White House are micromanaging the tactical situation on a daily and weekly basis. That’s not their job. They have to kind of do strategic planning and say what do we want to accomplish in the next year […] “And they have got all these people in the White House. You talk to people in the military who are there and they say ‘we are being micromanaged and we’re not given a real plan to say what are we going to do here.’ And it’s not the way to run a war or try to win a war.”

But what would you expect from an administration that thinks this myth of ‘GLOBAL WARMING’ is a greater threat to the United States than radical Islam.

ISIS Claims Jordanian Airstrike Killed 26 Year Old U.S. Hostage Kayla Mueller

ISIS is claiming that 26 year old US hostage Kayla Mueller was killed Friday during when a Jordan fighter plane bombed the building where she was being held near Raqqa. However, it could not be confirmed and the Islamic State has provided no proof of their allegations. Kayla Mueller was kidnapped in August 2013 when she was leaving a hospital run by Spanish Doctors Without Borders in the Syrian city of Aleppo.

The Islamic State claimed that a 26-year-old Arizona woman taken hostage by the group in Syria was killed Friday when a Jordanian fighter plane bombed a building where she was being held.

The claim could not be immediately verified, nor was it clear that Jordanian planes had bombed that location, described as being near Raqqa, the group’s de facto capital. The group released photos showing rubble of a building it claimed had been struck in airstrikes, but no images of the hostage, Kayla Mueller.

“The criminal Crusader coalition aircraft bombarded a site outside the city of ar-Raqqah today at noon while the people were performing the Friday prayer,” the Islamic State said in a statement, according to SITE Intelligence Group, which tracks online postings by Islamist militant groups. “The air assaults were continuous on the same location for more than an hour.”

The statement included Mueller’s phone numbers and other personal information.

The White House has “not at this time seen any evidence that corroborates” the claim.

The White House has “not at this time seen any evidence that corroborates” the claim, said Bernadette Meehan, the spokeswoman for President Barack Obama’s National Security Council. The statement included photos allegedly of the bombed site but no images of Mueller.

We are obviously deeply concerned by these reports,” Meehan said.

Jordan has been launching increased airstrikes against ISIS in response to a video released this week that shows a captive Jordanian pilot being burned to death in a cage.

CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports that a U.S. military officer said the building that ISIS claims the U.S. hostage was in “was a weapons storage facility, not anything that was assessed to be a hostage holding area.”

“We would not strike a facility that was a known or possible hostage facility,” the officer said.

UPDATE I: Jordan: Islamic State claim U.S. hostage killed in airstrike ‘propaganda’.

UPDATE II: Family of U.S. Hostage of Islamic State Says Hopeful She is Still Alive.

The parents of an American humanitarian worker held hostage by Islamic State since August 2013 said on Friday they are hopeful she is still alive, after the group said she was killed in a bombing by Jordanian fighter jets.

Carl and Marsha Mueller, the parents of Kayla Jean Mueller, asked the Islamic State group to contact them privately, according to a statement released by a family representative.

In a message directed to “those in positions of responsibility for holding Kayla,” they said: “You told us that you treated Kayla as your guest, as your guest her safety and well-being remains your responsibility.”
