'Jihadi John' threatens to kill Japanese hostages unless they receive $200m in 72-hour ultimatum after their Prime Minister pledged the same amount to countries fighting ISIS

The Islamic State has released a video threatening to kill two Japanese hostages unless they receive $200 million within 72 hours.

It comes two days after Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe pledged $200million in non-military support for countries fighting ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

The video, identified as being made by the group's al-Furqan media arm and posted on militant websites associated with the extremist group, mirrored other hostage threats it has made.

The clip, posted on militant websites associated with the extremist group, featured the British-accented militant widely known as 'Jihadi John' who appeared in the beheading videos of four Western hostages last year.

It will be interesting to see what Japan does, I doubt they will pay and those hostages will likely die either way.

So is Jihadi John the new Osama Bin Laden? Public Enemy #1? Gonna take us 10 years to find and kill him (allegedly), so we'll be at war somewhere in the mean time?

These ignorant fucks keep poking at cultures that have in the recent past had vast empires just don't know what they are dealing with.

The Asians tremble at the thought of a muscular expansionist Japan. All of Africa has leaders that were children when white guys had drinks served at the officers club of thier capital. If Europe and Japan get all Empire Strikes Back on the Jihadis the Arabs will be serving Gins and tonic at the Officers club in Bagdad to thier new overlords.

In a perfect world it would be death by giant robots.  That would be outstanding.  "So sorry...  The giant robot is malfunctioning.  We can get it back under control but it requires cash.  Could you be so kind as to send us $200 million USD along with your hostages so we can get this thing resolved?"

If Japan did pay (which I doubt) they wouldn't kill them because it would set a precedent of killing hostages even when ransoms are paid. Then kidnapping and demanding future ransoms wouldn't work.

I don't think pissing of the Japanese is a good idea. Abe has no idea how to fix that economy, so war would be a great thing to keep things off the minds of the males who can't even get a date. (Japanese girls aren't interested in the men).



They also are losing population like Russia was recently due to such low birth rates which hurts the economy. Gotta have new births to pay for the ponzi schemes.





For some reason, I don't think the Japanese will follow all the rules of war like we do either.

I can't imagine it's a good idea to poke the folks that _invented_ and then _perfected_ crashing airplanes into stuff to break things.  Or that have BOTH Samurai and Ninjas on their side. That think everybody else is beneath them.



Look, little sandal-man, you aren't dead because we are trying to treat you "humanely".




The Japanese will have no such qualms.



Good luck!

Unlike the U.S. who are restricted to what we can do the Japanese will honey badger the hell out of rules or war

I was thinking more of their debt being 237% of GDP.

Ok, let me reword that slightly, do they have the will to project the amount of power needed solely to the middle east, possibly going it alone?  Their economy isn't the greatest at the moment, and they have more concern over Chinese intentions than Muslim I would think.

I think what's its going to take to stop these animals are privately funded "mercenary" groups who don't answer to bureaucrats hunting them down and killing them. With enough funding and the entire play book opened up, I don't think the fuckers would last six months.

How much would you donate to see a response video of "Jihad John" on his knees being shot in the face?

How many ex SF guys from all over the world would love to go after these assholes with no red tape, no rules against torture or assassination and get paid better to do it?

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2015/01/20/purported-isis-video-threatens-japanese-hostages-in-lieu-200m-ransom/

Japan has already said they are eager to pay the ransom.


Japan's Prime Minister vowed Tuesday to save the lives of two Japanese hostages, one a freelance journalist and the other a soldier for hire, threatened with beheading in an online video purportedly released by the Islamic State terror group.

In the video, identified as being made by the Islamic State group's al-Furqan media arm and posted on militant websites associated with the extremist group, a militant threatened to kill the men unless a $200 million ransom was paid within 72 hours. If confirmed to be from Islamic State, better known as ISIS, the video would mark the first public demand for ransom from the group in exchange for the release of captives....

Maybe I'm just jaded, but I doubt Japan will do anything.  Every time some asshole group does something we all say "Well, they were the wrong people to piss off!" and then nothing happens.  



We said the same thing about the Bosnians in St Louis, and what did they do?  Nothing.  




I guess we can all hope that maybe ISIS will piss off the Mexican drug cartels, maybe then something good will happen.

Perfect reason for Japan to scrap Article 9 of their constitution and rebuild a proper military.



If they did scrap Article 9, Japanese SOF would be rescuing their two citizens and the JSDAF would be hitting targets alongside American Fighters and Bombers.

"Vowed to save" does not necessarily equal "Pay Ransom."
