Discussion: New Islamic State Video Shows Execution Of Five British 'Spies'

Discussion for article #244249

TPM:

Another man appeals to people in similar situations to confess and turn themselves in, repeatedly saying “the door to repentance is open.”

I’m not sure the televised executions that followed are going to motivate anyone to turn themselves in. I mean, you kind of lose credibility on the repentance promise when you execute the guy encouraging it.

Also, because it needs to be said, repeatedly: What the fucking hell is wrong with these people?

This “anti-recruitment” video can be used by Britain and other countries to show how ISIS turns on people without cause calls them spies and kills them. May discourage people from trying to go to Syria.

I wonder how many, if any, were actually spies, and how many were foreign recruits who came in full of enthusiasm for jihad and ended up being killed out of paranoia. LOL

I highly recommend that western governments loudly and repeatedly proclaim that they are heavily seeding ISIS recruits with “spies.” Should be some awesome fratricide to follow.

Invading the UK would be quite a feat. If Hitler wasn’t up to it, I doubt smack-talking thugs playing army will be able to manage.
