U.S. Photo journalist beheaded

9 years 6 months ago #397293 by Alan Nunez
I have only just seen this on the news (I have been in the studio the last few days) I feel sorry for his family and hope that the others photo Journalists stay safe. It is a tough and dangerous job but an important one!

RIP

RIP, Mr. Foley.


They want Islam to take over the world... that would mean Sharia Law... which is pretty messed up if you're not one of them, I'll just say that.

:agree:
Which in Sharia Law that is allowed when dealing with infidels.
I do feel sorry for his family, but I must say that he knew the risks of being in that part of the world. If I was going into a war zone I would know that I could be killed. I just choose to not take that chance, much like going south of the US border in more than a few places.


Unless they decide it's something to do with Jihad.
