Al Qaeda militants beheaded American hostage Paul Johnson, Al Arabiya television reported today. The network quoted its correspondent in Saudi Arabia who said he watched a video of the beheading. Al Qaeda had given the Saudi government a Friday deadline to free jailed militants or it would kill Johnson.

Look for the money shots to show up on Al-Jazeera soon.
To be promptly ignored by the MSM here.
But don't worry, the Wash. Post will run another set of prison-abuse shots in a day or three.

I felt sad this morning as I watched the family of Paul Johnson begging his captors to spare his life.
Muslim militants don't take pity on the West, they loathe and despise all things western. I had a feeling this would happen.
While I am sad for the family, I hope it irritates the rest of America to deal with these terrorists properly.

It's too bad we don't have Usama bin Laden in custody.
I'd love to see Dubya announce that unless they turn in all the terrorists worldwide by noon Friday he gets the ax.
Of course, they wouldn't do it, but a pay per veiw of the execution could at least pay off the national debt.

And people in this country get mad because some of our troops had prisoners playing naked twister.
Let's get our priorities straight! This was an innocent American working in a foreign country. He probably didn't give a d*mn about who was in office, or other politics; all that he cared about was his family and repairing helicopters.
RIP

Apparently Muslim militants don't take pity on anyone, including other Muslims, judging by the barbarity they display to anyone opposed to them, Muslim, Christian, or Jew.
They are scum and all civilized people of whatever race, religion, or culture, should condemn this behavior and help hunt them down!

As much as I hate to have heard that, I think we probably knew that he would not survive his ordeal.
With all that the stuff that TV news shows, I am about to the point where every time I see pics of Iraqi terrorists shooting up the streets, cheering after a bomb goes off, and when we see the Arabic TV showing this ruthless act of murder, I just think that there needs to be air strikes called in after every event.
I really like to believe that this country and our moral principals are above having to strike back for every small incident that occurs but I have to think that if these terroists, Iraqi or any others, are treated in the same way every time they commit their cowardly acts, then eventually they will learn not to do those things anymore, or there just won't be any of them left to try.
IMHO, the time has come to fight fire with fire. There needs to be a clear message sent to terrorists that tells them AND the whole world that their deeds will not go unpunished. They can declare a religous war if they like but they need to be sent to Hell for doing these things.
As far as how terrorists are treated in prison, the best way to not have to worry about seeing pictures of how terrorist prisoners are treated is to take no prisoners.

Damn. This truely sucks. Fox is reporting the Mr. Johnston was consider converting to Islam. Al-Quadia looks to have made are real PR blunder here.
OK, lets release the Al-Quadia prisoners that Saudia Arabia is holding. Put 'em on a transport and take 'em up to 25,000 feet and toss 'em out. If God is truely on their side, he'll intervine and ensure that at least SOME of 'em have a safe, soft landing. IF that occurs, I'll give up EtOH, pork green chilie, convert to Islam, pray in the direction of Mecca, marry me a good Muslim woman and have lots of kids. and make the pilgrimage. I've always wanted to see the Mosques with my own eyes anyway.

Judging from the other responses, this is likely to get me flamed pretty badly but ...
What makes this particular death worse than other premeditated murders?
Yeah, it's horrible. Yeah, it's brutal. Yeah, it's disgusting. To me, though, it's another murder. I don't feel this massive rage some of you do.
I didn't know Mr. Johnson, but I wish his family well and I hope his murderers are brought to justice for their crimes. Still ... is this event really worthy of the vitriol it's receiving?

Well they did this for us to release Al-qaida people right?
That seems to be verification that they are Al-quaida right? We should ask them to specify which ones they want released and then we know for sure. Time for us to bring out the chopping block. we could return the favor in spades. Whatever horrifies them is what we need to do. Bullets in pigs blood etc.
I also like the idea of the bombing of the rejoicers in the streets when they do the roadside bomb and dance.
I again put a disclaimer in my posts... This is only meant for the terrorists not islam in general.

Cordex, Johnson's death is NOT just a murder.
Johnson's death was a premeditated act of war.......
See the difference?
It is not like some drug dealer whacked another drug dealer for personal reasons here.
This is an act of war............and it's an act of war aimed at every single Westerner who is not already a radical, fundamentalist Muslim.
If you are not a radical, Wahhabist, fundamentalist Muslim, this barbaric, animalistic act is what they also want to do to you.....to your parents......to your kids......to your wife.......to your neighbors.......to everyone you know who is not a radical, fundamentalist Muslim.
This is an act of war that's been declared against all people who are not radical, fundamentalist, jihadist Muslims.
Does that make it more clear for you?

The Saudis who have no compunction about tourturing prisoners and executing anyone who breaks the law in Saudi Arabia, should now respond in kind and publically behead every Al Qaueda member they have in custody, Just to make the point that you dont try this crap again or the consequences will truely be dire.

Yes, legions of peaceful Moslems will now take to the streets protesting this sickeningly brutal and barbaric beheading by persons who don't truly follow Islam, the Religion of Peace. After all, the murderous savages who do this are really un-Islamic, and the vast majority of peaceful Moslems throughout the Middle East are uniformly shocked, outraged, and disgusted by this.
Right?
