Ugh that I actually bothered reading that quoted bit as I've got the bigot on ignore but again he shows how little he knows about the Islam....what a suprise.
As for the reporter that got beheaded, it's tragic but no more then the hundred and maybe thousands others that faced a similar fate at the hands of this IS trash.
