I am saddened and troubled one of the Japanese hostages ISIL or ISIS, whatever, are holding was recently executed. Japanese are great and truly some of the nicest people in the world. It's heartbreaking these sick people would do this. It takes a real sicko to be that heartless imo.

In ancient Japan, decapitation was a very common type of execution too.

But yeah, modern Japanese are often classy and polite.

The Japanese decapitated lots of people during WW2. Good thing they quit doing that.
And it's outrageous that ISIS is beheading their citizens, what have these people ever done to them?

I hope Japan gets their vengeance against ISIS. ISIS needs to be crushed.

I agree with the sentiment of the OP (that this is a new low in barbarity), but I cringe at the way she expressed it.

A) The fact that Japanese may be "nice" as an ethnic group is irrelevant. It doesnt make the crime any more heinous than it already is. It fact it verges on racism the way that she implies that their nationality is relevant to morality of it.

B) Though Japanese probably are outstandingly polite and courteous as a culture- they did gang up with Hitler to try to conquer the world. And did do alot of decapitating themselves. Thats in the past now. The point being that the Japanese, on balance, are only as human as everyone else.

C) The fact that Japan never did anything to muslim Arabs does make the crime seem just a little bit more insane. But Japan did pledge monetary aid to the other side in Syria. And ISIS is doing this in a calculated bid to break up the alliance against them by punishing member nations of the alliance like Japan (which gives non military aid). And to ISIS all infidels are enemies anyway.

Hey you! I have met plenty of sweet hearted Japanese and I just wanted to express my disgust. I take it personally!

At one time nobody in the entire world was nice except for maybe the Swiss. I like nice people though. They are easier to like than mean ones.

2 Lebanese soldiers been beheaded by ISIS and 1 shot by Al Nusra and there's around 29 soldiers/servicemen been captives by them - recently threaten to kill 7 in one go, their parents still protesting in street tents since last august http://en.cihan.com.tr/video/Families-o ... 8wLy8xMDA0

- yet they're so completely unheard of in the western televised media.

From what I have seen of Middle Easterners over here, besides the few bad apples involved in the extremist groups, they are really nice. I never hear about them causing anyone any trouble.

The coverage is lop sided.

I'd respect them more if they would only LEAVE THE WHALES ALONE.

That's like someone killing elephants to eat their trunks (or whatever), while everyone else in the world is working toward saving them as a species.

As nice as they are the Japanese have some cruel twists, none of which is responsible for the latest atrocities.

I think Japan should be given their right to declare war again and attack ISIS! Suicide bombers? Well Japanese would have Kamakaze fighters heh.
