The ISIS and other terror groups did not exist in the region before, but once the US invaded with their cheap excuses, terror groups rise.

Just incase you weren't informed, US isn't the only one doing air strikes.

america started it because they just want the f'n oil

You are correct.
Its not just the US conducting strikes.
But, as per usual, they are trying to clean up after the US decided they wanted something from that area.

I hope some help comes soon

There is no help.

Its a political battle that is happening but the rest of the world are just jumping in thinking bombs will sort it.
Probably didnt help that the US gave them the weapons and vehicles to fight back in the worst ways possible.

If you define, 'Humanity' as, 'Empathy and agape for fellow human beings,' I think the reactions to events like this by common people is evidence enough that our humanity isn't quite dead yet.

OT: We've become wedged in a situation where ISIS think that beheading innocent people is going to make the US [and other countries] stop bombing them, and the US [and other countries] think that bombing them is going to make them stop beheading people.
Yet neither side have the intelligence to see that it isn't going to work.

Finally, a user with some knowledge. I appreciate it because it is so rare these days. Especially on a site like this. But then again, the demographics are just a bunch of pre teen kids. What would I expect.

Seen it on the news earlier, he had been helping Syria kids and then he gets kidnapped. Where is the logic in that?

I live just one street away from where this guy lived with his family.
Horrible news.

This is really sad news, and to find out they have more hostages is just horrible! How many do they have? Also if US/UK/Belgium/Denmark/France know they are doing this why are they bombing them? Its just encouragement! And it needs to be stopped.
