Some Japanese see slain hostages, Abe as troublemakers
Some Japanese see slain hostages, Abe as troublemakers
Thursday, February 05, 2015 7:15pm TOKYO (AP) In Japan, where conformity takes precedence over individuality, one of the most important values is to avoid "meiwaku" causing trouble for others. And sympathy aside, the two Japanese purportedly slain by the Islamic State group are now widely viewed as troublemakers. So is Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Many Japanese feel that if the hostages had not ignored warnings against travel to Syria, or if Abe had not showcased Tokyo's support for the multinational coalition against the Islamic State militants, Japan wouldn't have been exposed to this new sense of insecurity and unwelcomed attention from Islamic extremists. "To be honest, they caused tremendous trouble to the Japanese government and to the Japanese people. In the old days, their parents would have had to commit hara-kiri (ritual suicide) to apologize," said Taeko Sakamoto, a 64-year-old part-time worker, after first expressing sympathy over the deaths of Kenji Goto and Haruna Yukawa. Sakamoto also sees Abe as part of the problem, for not being more mindful of the risks at a time when he had already been pushing to expand Japan's military role, which is limited to its own self-defense under the U.S.-drafted pacifist constitution after its defeat in World War II. "I don't want Mr. Abe to do anything else that may be seen as provocation, because that's what would put us at a greater risk," Sakamoto said. Japan until recently had not become directly involved in the violence surrounding Islamic State militants, who now control about a third of Syria and neighboring Iraq. Days after Abe announced during a Middle East trip last month that Japan would give $200 million in non-military aid to support the fight against Islamic State, the militants demanded a $200 million ransom for the two hostages. The hostage crisis came to a grisly end with news Sunday that Goto, a journalist, had been beheaded by the extremists. The killing of Yukawa was announced earlier. In the video posted on militant websites that purportedly shows Goto's slaying, a man says, "Abe, because of your reckless decision to take part in an unwinnable war, this knife will not only slaughter Kenji, but will also carry on and cause carnage wherever your people are found. So let the nightmare for Japan begin." Abe has been adamant about his commitment to fight terrorism as part of an international effort. On Thursday, Japan's lower house, the more powerful of the two parliamentary chambers, unanimously endorsed a resolution condemning the Islamic State group's "beyond dastardly act of terrorism" against the two Japanese nationals. In the resolution, Japan also vowed to expand humanitarian support for the Middle East and Africa, and to strengthen anti-terrorism efforts with the international community. Japan's tensions with other countries have been largely limited to its neighbors China and South Korea. The Middle East is an unfamiliar, distant, dangerous place. "That's where the two men dared to go and that's probably why many people see them causing trouble," said Koichi Nakano, international politics professor at Sophia University in Tokyo. The public's response to the hostages was chilly from the beginning. Few seemed to sympathize with Yukawa, a 42-year-old gun aficionado and adventurer who was taken hostage in August. Media attention toward his case quickly faded and he was largely forgotten until Jan. 20, when militants made their ransom demand in a video that showed Yukawa and Goto in orange gowns and kneeling beside a masked militant. Goto's reputation as a veteran journalist whose reports focused on children and refugees in war-torn areas won him more sympathy and small rallies by his friends and other supporters. According to his wife and others who had spoken with him, Goto had gone to Syria late last year to try to save Yukawa. Still, to address the "meiwaku" problem, both victims' families apologized repeatedly to the government and the people for "the trouble" their sons caused, even after they died. Just two days after Abe's office put a national flag at half-staff to mourn for the pair, a senior member of his ruling party cast Goto as a troublemaker, not a tragic hero. Masahiko Komura, vice president of the Liberal Democratic Party, said Wednesday that Goto ignored the government's repeated warnings against his trip to Syria. "I must say that was reckless courage, not true courage, no matter how high his aspirations might have been," Komura told reporters, reminding them not to cause trouble by following Goto's path. Criticizing the dead in public is extremely rare in Japan, and Komura's comment reflects how individuals are expected to act in line with the national interest. When three young Japanese were taken hostage in Iraq and later freed in 2004, they faced nationwide bashing as troublemakers. They had to cover their own medical examinations and part of their chartered flights home. Some critics accuse the government of promoting the "self-responsibility" idea as a way to shirk its own responsibility to protect Japanese citizens. "It's a dangerous trend and we must watch," said Taku Sakamoto, a journalist and Middle East expert. While Abe, his party's lawmakers and other nationalists say the terrorist threat justifies Abe's push for a tougher military posture, others say it is exactly that sort of policy that is putting Japan at greater risk of attack. "The hostage crisis is causing a tremendous impact on Japanese society, and has polarized views about which direction Japan should go in terms of national security," said Nakano, the professor. "In a way, people saw what could happen under Abe's security policy." Some Japanese, like Toshihiko Ozeki, a 67-year-old pensioner, say Japan should be strong enough to defend itself, and that he supports Abe's push to expand Japan's defense role. "Mr. Abe has gone a bit too far, trying to make Japan look tough," said a 55-year-old man who would provide only his family name, Arai, because he is afraid of being targeted by the Islamic militants. "We don't want to be seen in that image, and we don't want to have anything to do with combat." http://www.cortezjournal.com/article...-troublemakers

Norwegian halfanese who converted to islam and joined ISIS:
IS-WARS: Torleif Angel Sanchez Hammer on lap four girls as a student at Glemmen VGS Fredrikstad by first class on the Design and Crafts in 2007/2008. In 2012 he changed his name to Abdul Hakim Sanchez Hammer and in March 2014 he went to Syria to fight for IS. Quote:
This shows that modern, multiracial societies not only are destructive to the White race, but also people from other parts of the world who can't find a stable identity as they are, still, a foreigner, a stranger in the eyes of their Aryan peers. People like that are vulnerable to shit like ISIS. It's sad really. Had he lived in the Philippines, and had a solid, normal upbringing there I doubt he'd joined ISIS. |

Where does ISIS get its orange jumpsuits? They look awfully like American prison get ups, at least the ones in Gitmo.

The average jap-on-the-street clearly has a mature view of foreign policy, one that sees & strongly criticizes the blunders made by their own idiot troublemakers. So different from the average Fux "news" patriotard, with his "This is 'Murca! We do whatever the hell we want, 'n' if them ragheads don't like it, we'll send 'em to Allah!"

I don't understand the upside for ISIS in pissing off the Egyptians, who had been pretty hands-off up until now.
If anyone from the U.S. State Dept. is reading this, why don't we cut a deal with Iran to end all sanctions and normalize relations if they take care of ISIS on the ground for us? They would love the chance to kill a bunch of Sunnis.

Here is the Army's declassified Iraq prison file on the leader of ISIS
HUNTER WALKER FEB. 18, 2015, 7:06 PM Relatively little is known about Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the jihadist group Islamic State (also known as ISIS and ISIL). However, newly declassified military documents obtained by Business Insider on Wednesday reveal several new details about the ISIS leader. The records come from time Baghdadi spent in US Army custody in Iraq. They were released through a Freedom of Information Act request. In these files, Baghdadi was identified by his birth name, Ibrahim Awad Ibrahim Al Badry. There have been conflicting reports about the time Baghdadi spent as a US detainee. These files identify his "capture date" as Feb. 4, 2004 and the date of his "release in place" as Dec. 8, 2004. According to the records, Baghdadi was captured in Fallujah and held at multiple prison facilities including Camp Bucca and Camp Adder. baghdadiBusiness InsiderA photo of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi from U.S. Army files relating to his time as a detainee in Iraq. In the book "ISIS: Inside The Army of Terror," Michael Weiss and Hassan Hassan relay an account of Baghdadi's capture from ISIS expert Dr. Hisham al-Hashimi. In the interview, al-Hashimi said Baghdadi was captured by US military intelligence while visiting a friend in Fallujah named Nessayif Numan Nessayif. "Baghdadi was not the target — it was Nessayif," said al-Hashimi, who consults with the Iraqi government and claims to have met the ISIS leader in the 1990s. Baghdadi's detainee I.D. card lists him as a "civilian detainee," which means he was not a member of a foreign armed force or militia, but was still held for security reasons. His "civilian occupation" was identified as "ADMINISTRATIVE WORK (SECRETARY)." As of 2014, he was listed as being 43 years old though his birth date was redacted. Baghdadi's birthplace was identified as Fallujah. These records also provide some details about Baghdadi's family. His file identifies him as married and his next of kin was an uncle. The names of his family members were redacted from the records. View the Baghdadi files below they can't be copied onto here, unfortunately. According to Army Corrections Command, some of the records requested by Business Insider remain classified. We are working to obtain all possible files from Baghdadi's detention. http://uk.businessinsider.com/abu-ba...le-2015-2?r=US |

US-trained moderate Syrian rebels to get tools to call-in airstrikes
USA prepares to repeat failed Afghanistan strategy with ISIS The US supported and armed the Afghan rebels against the Russians. These Afghan rebels then morphed into the Taliban/Al Queda. Taliban/Al Queda now prepares to regain control of Afghanistan. Quote:

[arguing with cumia, who is some radio guy, on twitter. just blank acceptance of israel-can-do-no-wrong. these people are, there's no other words, blind and bigoted. no matter what iran does, it is wrong. no matter what israel does, it is justified. you set their behaviors side by side and point out how much worse in every single category israel is, up to and including murdering american soldiers, they dont care. it's genuine brainwashing. ... you know i say attack buchanan, and that is the right way to go, but he is still damn smart, and nothing i say denies that. he is the true heir to the big-picture brain (on foreign policy) of his former boss richard nixon, who was an extremely intelligent fellow, much better at writing books than president-ing, unfortunately. use buchanan's facts, as he uses our racial knowledge, but always attack him in public for being weak, which he is, and which he represents - Weakness Inc.]
Why The GOP Hawks Are Dead Wrong On Iran by Patrick J. Buchanan • March 13, 2015 America, we have a problem. In the blood-soaked chaotic Middle East, with few exceptions like the Kurds, our friends either can’t or won’t fight. The Free Syrian Army folded. The U.S.-armed Hazm force in Syria has just collapsed after being routed by the al-Nusra Front. The Iraqi army we trained and equipped fled Mosul and ran all the way to Baghdad. The Turks could annihilate ISIS in Syria, but they won’t fight. Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Arabs have sent zero troops to fight ISIS. A handful of air strikes is it. Now consider what our old enemies have done and are doing. Hezbollah and Iran have sustained Bashar Assad’s Syrian army for four years and have ISIS and the al-Nusra Front on the defensive around Aleppo. Iran and its allied Shiite militia in Iraq are battling ISIS for Tikrit. Backed by Hezbollah, Houthi rebels have seized Yemen’s capital and are battling al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula. AQAP is the No. 1 terrorist threat to the U.S. homeland. While Iran and its allies are fighting al-Qaida and ISIS, Turkey and our Arab allies are malingerers at best and collaborators at worst. How explain this? Not difficult. The Shiites, a religious minority in the Muslim world — Hezbollah, Assad’s regime, Baghdad, Tehran — see ISIS as a mortal threat and are willing to fight to kill the monster. Our Sunni allies won’t go out and fight ISIS, because that would make them allies of Iran and the Shiites, whom they fear even more. Our Sunni friends want America to crush ISIS and al-Qaida, then to crush Hezbollah, Syria and Iran. But why is it in our interest to send U.S. troops back into any of these wars? Is America more threatened than our Arab allies? Rather than listening to allies who are non-combatants, we should take a hard look at the Mideast. To whom does the future belong? And with what can we live? The Republicans want to give a blank check to Obama and any future president to fight ISIS and al-Qaida everywhere and forever. And they want the United States to treat Iran as we should have treated Nazi Germany had Hitler been about to get the bomb. But if the GOP platform takes the neocon-Netanyahu line that we must not only fight ISIS and al-Qaida, but also Iran and Syria, the party will imperil its improving chances for 2016. Americans don’t want another war. And if John Kerry comes home with a deal on Iran’s nuclear program, Americans are likely to reject a party that is seen as trying to torpedo that deal, when the alternative is war with Iran. We do not know exactly what is in the Kerry deal, but what has been revealed thus far is no cause for panic or hysteria. Though Israel has 200 atomic bombs, Iran has not produced a single ounce of uranium enriched to bomb-grade 90 percent. Since talks began, Iran has diluted all of its 20-percent enriched uranium and halted production. Tehran is willing to cut her operating centrifuges by a third. Inspectors and cameras are now in all of Iran’s nuclear facilities. The heavy-water plant at Arak, which would produce plutonium, has been halted. The reprocessing plant that would be needed to extract bomb-grade material has not even been started. U.S. intelligence agencies in 2007 and 2011 declared, with high confidence, that Iran has no active bomb program. While Bibi Netanyahu says the Ayatollah tweeted that Israel must be “annihilated,” the same Ayatollah issued a fatwa against Iran ever producing nuclear weapons. We cannot trust Iran, we are told. Correct. Nor should we, as history has proven. Moscow cheated on Nixon’s SALT I agreement by replacing its light single-warhead SS-11 missiles with heavy SS-19s with multiple warheads. But as Meir Dagan, ex-head of Mossad points out, if Iran cheats at any of its facilities, we will know it, and it would take a year before Tehran could produce enough highly enriched uranium even to test a bomb. Plenty of time to gas up the B-2s. Another question, too rarely raised, is this: Why would Iran test and build a nuclear bomb, when this would set off a nuclear arms race across the Middle East and put Iran in mortal peril of being smashed by the United States, or by Israel with a preemptive strike? Right now, Hezbollah dominates Lebanon. Assad is gaining ground in Syria. Iraq, thanks to “W,” is Iran’s ally, not the mortal enemy of Saddam’s day. The Houthi have Sanaa. The Shiite majority in Bahrain, where the U.S. Fifth Fleet is berthed, will one day dominate that Gulf state. And the Shiites in oil-rich northeast Saudi Arabia will one day rise up against Riyadh. Why build a bomb, why get into a war with a nuclear-armed superpower, when everything’s going your way? [note also, per the EMJ message, Iran has banned birth control, or something similar to that. meaning time is on iran's side in terms of more and more people to do battle with evil israel] http://www.newsweek.com/irans-plan-b...control-312984 Quote:

Uniting Planet Earth One Symbol at a time
The Abrahamic God evolved from the desert and MUST go back and remain in his domain, to restore balance to the planet In the name of Allah or the Goddess ISIS? When Muslim Jihadist's spill blood, are they spilling the blood of their enemies in the name of Allah or the pagan Egyptian Goddess ISIS?

Not directly ISIS-related. But, relavent to show what Kwan meddling in Subhuman affairs has resulted in and what's to mainstream in Europe.
Notice those kids' indifference to such abuse, as if it's an everyday thing. This is why I can't complain about Israel dealing with Arabs accordingly:

Islamic State beheads 8, led to death by teens
Islamic State beheads 8, led to death by teens
The Islamic State group released a new video Sunday showing its fighters cutting off the heads of eight men described as Shiite Muslims, who were led to their execution by teenage boys. The eight men were beheaded in the central Syrian province of Hama. Blindfolded and with their hands tied behind their backs, the men are seen being led forward in a field by teenage boys, the Daily Mail reported. The video was posted on social media. It could not be independently verified but it appeared to be genuine, the Associated Press reported. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights in the United Kingdom said the video appeared authentic. The video shows the hostages led in a field by teenage boys, where they were handed over to a group of fighters. A boy wearing a black uniform is seen handing out knives to the fighters before the hostages are killed. An Islamic State fighter speaks in the video, calling the hostages "impure infidels" and saying the military campaign against the Islamic State will make the group stronger. "Our swords will soon, God willing, reach ... allies like Bashar and his party," the man said in reference to Syrian President Bashar Assad and Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group that is fighting on his side. http://usat.ly/1bHltbg |
