About the beheadee’s parents, I only have this to say: “Quelle surprise!” Unfortunately, this propagation of morons is all by design, by a super dumbed-down “educational” system that does not teach anything about American and world history, and warps impressionable minds with all sorts of politically-correct pablum. This is the unfortunate end result. And this is another factor why giving the vote to 18-year-olds in 1971 was as much a disaster for America as the 1969 Woodstock festival.

ConcernedPatriot on November 17, 2014 at 4:50 pm

All I can say is these two are living proof it is better to be Biblically correct than politically correct.

The Bible warns there is only one God and Lord His Son. It also warns all other books to come after it are crap.

Kassig’s grandfather (on his mother’s side) founded an anti-Israel group now called “Christians for Peace and Justice”. Kassig’s mother worked as a nurse assisting Muslim immigrants…etc http://www.indystar.com/story/news/2014/10/12/becoming-abdul-rahman-peter-kassigs-family-inspired-journey-syria/17054647/

‘ The mom of Peter Kassig a/k/a Abdul Rahman Kassig–newly separated from his head–is praising allah as “the one god” and saying he “will prevail.”’

These post-beheading statements by the parents as well a history of similar narratives from parents of other murdered, young, western volunteers and missionaries to 3rd-world spots is clear proof that liberalism is a mental disease as evidenced by the decrease or extinction of the human will for self-preservation.

I teach my kids from the time they can comprehend to *avoid* any contact with 3rd-worlders. The thought of blessing, giving approval tacit or otherwise, or praising my child to grow up and travel to some Hell-hole is tantamount to me teaching them to play on a freeway or giving them a gun to play Russian roulette with their friends at a birthday party.

Sick, stupid a-holes are these parents and their hippie ilk.

DS_ROCKS on November 17, 2014 at 5:47 pm

Unbelievable that the Methodist church would allow this. It is beyond just being laughable. They are possibly damning themselves eternally. Anyone who belongs to a Methodist church ought to find a new church that faithfully proclaims the Gospel.

Karen on November 17, 2014 at 5:49 pm

This is the new cowardly America. We as conservatives are cowards and so are Liberals. Here’s the thing; we could win the war for the hearts of this country and our children but we show (as conservatives)that we are passive and afraid. We cower when any lib calls us a “homophobe” and we seem to be more concerned about our enemies than the carnage and psychological damage they inflicting on our children and society. Make no mistake, Liberal are our enemies and perhaps we should treat our enemies with the contempt they have for us. They don’t want to get along, they want to crush us.

What will spark a revolution? That is the only think that will save America. Muslims have shown that the war is won through unity and strength, until of course they seize power and turn on one another. Our forefathers were willing to die for this country but the newest generation of conservatives might as well be liberals. This is why in 30 years my son and the rest of America will pay for our cowardice. Our children may only know slavery and death. This isn’t difficult to explain, people look for boundaries, strength and therefore the two equal stability. Islam offers that in our chaotic and sex starved society. Christians tuck tail and run, ask your self straddling the fence, which one would you follow??

JC on November 17, 2014 at 5:50 pm

No Moderate Muslims
There is no such thing as a moderate Muslim, because they wouldn’t be Muslims. If you are a Muslim, then you believe in the teachings of Muhammed and the goal of Islam is “World Islam” as stated in the Q’uran. Therefore, if you do not believe in those teachings, then you should not be a Muslim. The problem is once you are a Muslim you are always a Muslim.
Islam is a political and military system masquerading as a religion. Muslims can lie to the infidel to promote Islam. The Muslim Brotherhood calls for a “Civilization-Jihadist Process,” in which they would destroy the Western civilization from within. Radical Muslims believe the infidels will have to convert to Islam, be enslaved or be killed. They state, we do not want to democratize Islam, we want to Islamize democracy. That is what we want.
In the Christian faith, it is a sin to commit murder and you can go to Hell. In Islam, if you kill the infidel and die in the action you are martyred and promised paradise and 72 Virgins.
In the United States we do not want to become a Muslim nation and be put under Sharia law, with Honor Killings. That is why we must remain vigilant to protect our freedom. Look at what has been happening in Germany, Great Britain and France.

More idiocy from America. I do not hold out much hope when we have donkeys like this enabling the beheading.

japple on November 17, 2014 at 6:53 pm

There aren’t too many things more dysfunctional up than a convert to Islam with a Christ complex or G-d complex.

japple on November 17, 2014 at 6:54 pm

They loved their Americana interpretation of Islam so much these parents gave up their only begotten son for Muhammad’s good name.
Arrogance this colossal doesn’t grow on trees. It’s what got their son killed. It’ll destroy America too.

japple on November 17, 2014 at 6:55 pm

As the saying goes, “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”

JeffT on November 17, 2014 at 7:08 pm

They obviously have not done their research on Islam. The average American does not understand the threat of Islam and 2500+ Mosques now in America and climbing. Google “theprojectmuslimbrotherhood” and read their plans to destroy America from within by stealth jihad, deceit and lies. Sad part is its working. Political correctness “PC” is destroying freedom, our flag and the America we once knew. Islam is not a religion of peace. Ayaan Hirsi Ali, an ex Muslim, speaking from personal experience, “Violence is inherent in Islam” She has won every debate as to whether or not Islam is a religion of peace. speaks out against militant Islam and Sharia law in America, and now has deaths threats on her life. Understand that the Mosques preach the Quran to the young and old which states clearly, kill all Jews, Christians and infidels, those that won’t convert, slaughter them and behead them. What else do you want to know about Islam? Absolutely, nothing. How many more Anwar Awlaki’s are hiding in the Mosques, just one is enough in my book.. Just for the record he was thought to be a “so called moderate Muslim, but later found out that he was involved in 9/11, the Ft Hood Massacre, leader and trainer of Al Qaeda. (Thank God, he was later killed by a USA drone)

raylanfear on November 17, 2014 at 7:43 pm

Allah and Islam killed their son. Wandering Baptists did not partake in this crime.

Lets go back to Bill Oreilly interviewing Jenna Jameson, then salivating behind the scenes and requesting her autograph, another Hypocrite, Sean Hannity + Bill Oreilly, lol, always wagging their finger, and secretly just lustful pervs. Fakes, hypocrites.

Its is really unfathomable how much Islam is gaining especially after 911, its like theyre sticking it in America with No Vasalina.

MrBigBrain on November 17, 2014 at 8:43 pm

What a surprise, not. Did these parents honestly believe their son’s conversion to Islam would save his life? These people kill their own for unfathomable reasons. Debbie, as always, you’ve gotten to the heart of the matter. Thanks.

Naomi R. on November 17, 2014 at 8:45 pm

When I heard last night that Peter Kassig had been beheaded by an ISIS but her, tears rolled down my face. Myself, as well as many had been praying so hard for God to perform yet another miracle and save this young man. What I have read here distresses me greatly. I can only pray that he renounced Islam and cried out to our Christian God to save him at the last minute. As far as his parents; they will answer to a greater power than their god. I pray they accept Christ.

celticsusan on November 17, 2014 at 10:00 pm

I use to get angry and worked up that these journalists and others got beheaded, but now, because of Debbie’s research and articles she puts things in perspective, these people are just dumb. They’re dummies.

For the people who come on here and get all pissy because D.S tells it like it is, my response to you, “Somebody has to”

The truth will set you free, but first you’ll get mad. ( I luv dat saying, because it is so on point)

MrBigBrain on November 17, 2014 at 11:45 pm

This is not really surprising. Just as there are Jews that still support Obama, it would follow having Christians embrace their sworn enemies as well. Every group has their imbeciles. ( Unfortunately how sad it is that they seem to be a majority amongst American Jews. ) FYI I’m an American Jewish patriotic conservative and a retired US military officer.

DrBob1961 on November 17, 2014 at 11:59 pm

I just don’t get it. These people are not IQ challenged. They are certainly capable of doing a google search. Now if you search islam on the web, you get a lot of negative sites along with the propaganda sites shilling for islam. Do you absolutely ignore those negative sites? How do you avoid all those verses of hate against the kuffars, whether jew, chrisitian or any other? How do you ignore all that? The koran is in your face hate, helll half of it is negative to the other. In fact the koran is obsessed with the other, it’s just one long rant against the other. How do you ignore that?

Jan Sobieski (RefugeeRacket.com) on November 18, 2014 at 3:03 am

An orthodox Jew, if my son was beheaded for whatever reason, I would make a vendetta against every Muslim in every Western country until ALL of them apologize and denounce the act as TERRORIST. I would go in every muslim neighborhood showing pictures of this beheading and the others, with the caption: This is what Moderate Muslims Believe In. If I were an employer, I would rightly ‘discriminate’ against ALL Muslims because there is no place for any Muslim in any workplace. We are at war with them and ALL of them must be driven out and sent back to their hellhole countries where they belong. And if someone choses to go to a Muslim country, his citizenship should be revoked, stripped, taken way for all eternity. You go to the Muslims, you commit the most heinous traitorous act. No place in any Western country for Muslim ass-kissers!

A.S. on November 18, 2014 at 4:01 am

Well done, Deb.

You have given us the final clue to the “dog that didn’t bark”…

Observation: Every ‘westerner’ tht ‘ISIS (LLC)’ has seemingly divided seems to actually be a ROP-convert.

Analysis: ROP volunteer suicides (new approach ’72-prize’ winners?) now may be a new USA media-construct model to provide MSM with a ‘Tough POTUS’ news-cycle distraction.

Question: Is ‘ISIS’ is an ‘astroturfed’ White House disinfo-on-steroids offshoot?

nick fury on November 18, 2014 at 4:20 am

YIKES. Forget being surprised if they convert, it sounds like they already have! Good Lord, this is like losing a family member on the Titanic and converting to a religion called the White Star Line. I can understand a Christian wanting to forgive somebody who murdered their son, but don’t go spouting the murderer’s creed.

Sean M on November 18, 2014 at 5:34 am

These people would have to be boarder line retarded.

William F on November 18, 2014 at 5:57 am

The Kassigs just have to recite the shehada – that moronic islamic declaration about allah, mohammed & prophet, and under islamic law, they are recognized as Muzzies. That’s all it requires.

So have they embraced the Shiite or the Sunni Islam? Quite a quandry, given that their son had embraced the latter, but was out doing good to the former, which is part of what pissed off ISIS. So will they embrace the sect that their son reached out to, or the one that their son converted to, but was executed by anyway? Maybe they could contact Hamas/CAIR and ask for advice.

As for allah, I’d say that he has prevailed. Since under Islamic views, if Abdul Rahman Kassig was beheaded, it was the will of allah.

Shorthand is so easy. So far, I routinely use SS Kerry, and pospotus. Now I have a new one, and much like the smiley face t-shirt guy in Forrest Gump, I’m going to sell all kinds of stuff….”GRUBER IS RIGHT”

Gary Sack on November 18, 2014 at 1:31 pm

Another grief in the world of cruelty to others.

In the movie “Interstellar” it was mentioned that Lazarus was the name given to the exploratory project that came back from the dead. It was mentioned that the biblical Lazarus, for which the project was named, came back from the dead.

It was not mentioned, no surprise, that Jesus after he wept raised his friend Lazarus from the dead.

Jesus, a rabbi, said in John 14, “I am the way, the truth and the life..”

Time and time again, we see that Allah by example of his teachings and followers is not.

Panhandle on November 18, 2014 at 4:04 pm

The kind of fellow who goes to ISIS to begin with, usually to tell the ISISisi’s story, as if that story doesn’t tell itself, doesn’t usually come from what you could call an average American home. So you can’t be *too* surprised if his parents are also (how to say this diplomatically?) whackadoodle.

That said, if a fellow’s parents suffered Stockholm Syndrome by proxy–assuming that exists–and if it overlaps by one single day, I would cut them some slack, wouldn’t you?

a6z on November 18, 2014 at 7:50 pm

The more and more I ponder, its as if 911 has caused Americans to sympathize with Muzzies, instead of hating them. I know we shouldn’t hate and all that blah blah, but I truly believe that Muzzies and their ilk, are worthy of HATE.

You know, if you look at the conditions of the inner cities, the decisions that a large group of Blacks make, I think Blacks are the least of Americas problems, so how come these groups like Stormfront and the Klan, and Skinheads, especially after 911, haven’t switched their hate to the real threat, seems to be the most sensible thing to do, I guess they are just as misguided as Blacks who become Muslims looking for salvation.

MrBigBrain on November 18, 2014 at 10:52 pm

Oh, for those happy days in Iraq under Bush!! I’ll never forget that wonderful day in 2007 when George Bush stood on the podium in Baghdad’s Liberty Square, with PM al-Maliki on his left and Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Pearle, Doug Feith and Scooter Libby on his right. 100,000 grateful Iraqi’s — Sunnis, Shites and Kurds — cheered and clapped and waved American flags. “Thank you Mr. President,” al-Maliki shouted. “You have brought freedom to Iraq! And thank you Mr. Wolfowitz, and Pearle and Mr. Feith and Mr. Scooter! Especially Mr. Scooter — he was accepting an award from the American Zionist Society, and was only able to be here at the last minute! Every generation must thank its Jews, and we, the people of Iraq, thank all of you Jewish men, for you were the “brains” behind Mr. Bush! You said there would peace and unity in Iraq! That gasoline will be only $1.00 a gallon! And you were right!! Thank you, great wise men!” Now… on to Kabul!! The crowed cheered!!….. Oh wait. That never happened, did it? Must have been a dream…..

Even the guy who executed their son is thinking “HUH?”.

Lars on November 19, 2014 at 6:37 am

My 11 year old daughter asked me about this killing yesterday. I carefully explained to her that while not everyone who is a Muslim is a sick mass murdering jerk (some never go to Mosque, etc., and there are always exceptions), the more religious a Muslim was, the more likely they would be evil, and that the philosophy was a terrible one. In addition, I explained to her that the founder of the religion was a mass murdering thief. (I avoided discussing child rape with her.)

In short, the philosophy is horrible and evil, a terrible totalitarian nightmare. I explained to her that it is the third totalitarian philosophy that America has had to contend with in the last 100 years, after Fascism and Communism, and that as Communism was my generation’s struggle to deal with (I am 52), this will be primarily hers to deal with.

I also told her that it was good that she was learning about this, and to keep asking questions. She thinks Obama is a toad, and, several years ago, before it became obvious that he was going to be a drug addled thug, she thought Justin Bieber was lame (at age 8).

Kid’s got good instincts.

OT: Gotta disagree with some of your statements about Muslims and mosques. Most Muslims do not attend a mosque, and yet many of those who do not attend are just as anti-Semitic, anti-Western, hateful, and violent as those who do, even if they are apostates or secular Muslims. While the mosques have crazy, anti-Semitic, anti-American, anti-Western sermons that increase the hate, the hate is already there. It starts at home. DS

Sure like to know where this stupid bitch got her facts from cause she doesn’t know shit. Personally know guys that FOUGHT and served with Pete and they haven’t had a bad word to say about him. He served honorably. So to make up that he was embarrassed to be a Ranger is absolute bullshit. When you actually have the guts to sign up and be a trigger puller you get the right to judge war. While she was sitting behind her little safe computer on her high horse Pete was kicking in doors.
