    What in the ****!?

    Update from that link:

    Update:

    Although this was tweeted out from an ISIS account, it turns out the picture was from a protest against Assad, comparing the horrors of Assad to the Islamic State, to draw attention to those living under his rule. So fortunately these children were not under threat from ISIS.

    IS in Libya says it has beheaded Egyptian Christians

    Cairo (AFP) - The Islamic State group released a video on Sunday purportedly showing the beheading of Egyptian Coptic Christians the jihadists say they captured in Libya.

    Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi immediately called an urgent meeting of the country's top security body and declared seven days of mourning.

    The Coptic Church issued a statement saying it was "confident" the killers would be brought to justice, while Al-Azhar, the prestigious Cairo-based seat of Islamic learning, denounced the "barbaric" killings.

    The footage released by IS online shows handcuffed hostages wearing orange jumpsuits being beheaded by their black-suited captors in a coastal area the group said was in the Libyan province of Tripoli.

    In the latest issue of the IS online magazine Dabiq, the group said 21 Egyptian hostages were being held in Libya, and in Sunday's video, shot from several angles, the beheadings of at least 10 hostages were seen.

    Egyptian state television also broadcast some of the footage from the IS video.

    The security body that will meet in Cairo groups Sisi, his defence and interior ministers and top military figures.

    Egypt last year denied reports of having carried out air strikes on Islamists in Libya.

    "The Orthodox church... is confident its homeland would not rest until the evil perpetrators get their fair retribution for their wicked crime," the Coptic church said in a statement on its Facebook page.

    - 'Great sorrow' -

    In a statement, Al-Azhar said it had heard the news of the beheadings "of a group of innocent Egyptians with great sorrow and grief".

    "Al-Azhar stresses that such barbaric action has nothing to do with any religion or human values."

    The latest IS video comes just days after the jihadists released footage showing the gruesome burning alive of a Jordanian pilot the group captured after his F-16 came down in Syria in December.

    The highly choreographed video showing the killing of Maaz al-Kassasbeh triggered global outrage.

    Sunday's video, entitled "A message signed with blood to the nation of the cross", has a scrolling caption in the first few seconds referring to the hostages as "People of the cross, followers of the hostile Egyptian Church".

    One of the masked captors, wearing a military uniform and pointing a knife to the camera said in English: "Today we are in the south of Rome, in the land of Islam Libya... the sea you have hidden Sheikh Osama bin Laden's body in, we swear to Allah we will mix it with your blood."

    Al-Qaeda founder Bin Laden was shot and killed in a dramatic helicopter raid by US special forces in Pakistan in the early hours of May 2, 2011 and later buried at sea in an unidentified location.

    After the beheadings shown on Sunday, a scrolling caption on the footage said: "The filthy blood is just some of what awaits you, in revenge for Camilia and her sisters."

    - 'We will take revenge' -

    A background voice believed to be IS spokesman Abu Mohamed al-Adnani says: "We swear to Allah we will take revenge, even if it takes a while."

    Egyptian women Camilia Shehata and Wafa Constantine were the wives of Coptic priests whose alleged conversion sparked a sectarian dispute in Egypt in 2010.

    Shehata went missing for five days in July that year after a domestic argument before police found her and escorted her back home.

    When she went missing, Coptic Christians staged protests, but when she was returned, Islamists took to the streets alleging she had willingly converted to Islam and was being held by the church against her will.

    Wafa Constantine also went missing, in 2004, reportedly after her husband refused to give her a divorce. She was temporarily sequestered at a convent as reports of her conversion were circulated.

    In January, the IS branch in Libya claimed it had abducted 21 Christians.

    A spokesman for the Egyptian foreign ministry confirmed to AFP in Cairo at the time that 20 Egyptians had been kidnapped in two separate incidents.

    Badr Abdelatty did not say when they were seized or specify their religious affiliation, but said seven Egyptians and 13 others abducted separately in Libya "are still being detained" by their captors.

    As an Orthodox Christian this one hits especially close to home. These ruthless thugs need to be annihilated from the face of the earth.

    ISIS' rise is what happens when America "leads from behind" and Obama projects weakness to the world. These thugs are emboldened.

    You need to educate yourself on the facts. ISIS has advanced social media recruiting techniques and recruits heavily from European Muslims. These aren't Afghanistan style cave dwellers.

    If all you can do is hurl insults, then you've lost any argument among adults. I'll be the bigger man and not respond in kind.

    TIL that my 12 year old cousin utilizes advanced social media techniques.

    Bigtexxx is the classical chicken hawk who has never fought a war yet demands more of it. You probably say such empty statements as "thank you for your service" yet advocate for more war when our current VA system is already backlogged to the year 3000 with a plethora of veterans on long waiting lists to treat their TBI and PTSD. Where are the new war veterans from your proposed "increased involvement" going to fall on the waiting list texxx? Or do you not worry about the long waiting list of veterans who will probably die before they are ever treated properly? Probably not as your disdain for Obama supersedes your empathy for our veterans.

    This country is war weary. If we learned anything from previous hegemonies and empires is that their increased involvement overstretched them to a point of falling apart.

    LOLOLOLOLOZ. ISIS happens when the US plays "world police".

    There hasn't been a war since WW2 that the US has had any business in, but hey War Inc is big business.

    I see you're going with the "JV team" characterization that has served Obama so well.

    Don't know that they will recruit Americans. I mean they will physically travel here.

    And I mean they pose no substantial threat to the sovereign state of the United States. They have no conventional military. Their threat level is the same as any random lone psycho who wants to strap a bomb in a public congested area. This threat will in no way be hindered from a full scale engagement with ISIS in Iraq or Syria because ANYONE can make a bomb and place it in a congested public area. War won't solve that threat. Strengthened homeland security and not taking the bait set by groups like ISIS to engage them so they can use another invasion as propaganda is the best we can do deter terrorism.

    Other than that, ISIS poses absolutely zero credible threat to our nation. Their level of organization and sophistication is overrated by the media. Nations like Jordan and Saudi Arabia which have conventional militaries with modern equipment can easily take them down if they put in the effort.
