Japanese journalist Kenji Goto, beheaded by ISIS in a newly released gruesome video, also happened to be a devout Christian.
A reporter seasoned in war zones, Goto traveled to Syria hoping that Japan’s pacifist stance would grant him relative safety, unlike other journalists from nations leading airstrikes against ISIS.
He failed to take into account this new brand of terrorists are breaking all previous norms, with no apparent limits to their depravity.
“You, like your foolish allies in the Satanic coalition, have yet to understand that we, by Allah’s grace, are an Islamic caliphate with authority and power, an entire army thirsty for you blood,” a masked militant says in the video while holding a knife to Goto’s neck.

Mustard Seed Budget 
Despite these barbaric crimes the dare to say ISIS Islam is a peaceful religion.
I can’t like this. I am so sickened by the evil perpetrated in the name of their god. I’m wondering what it will take for us, here in America, to finally reach a saturation point and stand up en masse against these monsters, no matter what our lily-livered politicians say or do.
Funny how the news media never mentioned that!
Wall Street journal did in an in depth profile.
Thanks for sharing this brother.
It is well past time we laid aside the rhetoric of political correctness and picked up the banner of self-defense. If we are not careful we will once again find ourselves as during the Crusades.
Isis is about to lose
I’m overwhelmed by the cowardly acts of Isis. They feel like their god allah needs them to kill those that don’t accept him. What kind of god is so weak that it would call on it’s followers to kill any one who doesn’t follow him. I pray that God’s will is done with these terrorists. What a contrast in beliefs My God doesn’t want me to kill those who reject him. In fact my God would prefer those who don’t know him didn’t parish (see 2 Peter 3:9), please join me in prayer that God’s will be done with terrorists everywhere.
I agree w u wholeheartedly
;__; Not good :O
What a sad news. Thanks for sharing!
I pray for his wife, children and the many others who are grieving is passing. At the same time I know that he has received the crown of life and is rejoicing before the throne. I even rejoice that his testimony has impacted many of his countrymen, though Japanese media in general has underplayed his faith. However, his pastor has been among those interviewed, and I pray that there would be a rich harvest from this “grain of wheat.”
This is my hope and prayer also. May God pour out his rain on Jspan
Thank you for following my blog.

I had no idea… 😦 I didn’t hear that in the secular news.

These monsters have to be destroyed.
I listened to president’s speech and he was certainly the eloquent statesman taking the high ground. But respect for human dignity and lofty ideals to not stop these monsters. What he fails to understand is that Islam in all its diversity calls for government of theocracy only. Anything contrary to that form of government is to be destroyed. They are unable to separate church and state. The goal is to establish a world wide caliphate. They say to work in hand with moderate Muslims. Who are they? Where? What is a moderate Muslim in the first place? One that says “We’ll kill just 100 people this week instead of 1,000”?
Yes, he fails to understand. He as moved far beyond the liberal principles that once imprisoned him, but he still needs to adjust to reality.
