Isis Crisis (blog #1 from 9/13)

Isis Crisis:
September 13th, 2014 
"ISIS militants post video on a website associated with the group, showing the apparent execution of British aid worker David Haines. This makes him the third Western captive to be killed by the Islamist extremist group in recent weeks. ISIS directs a statement at British Prime Minister David Cameron, threatening more destruction if Britian continues its "evil alliance with America." At the end of the video, the executioner threatens the life of Alan Henning, another British citizen held captive. The executioner appears to be the same one who killed both Steven Sotloff and James Foley." courtesy of cnn.com 

It appears that Isis is on prowl again, killing another innocent human being. Why are they doing this? In my opinion, they are warning the world of the terror that they can cause. These militants are not normal. They are harsh and cruel people who want everyone to live by their rules. By killing British aid worker David Haines, they warn us and other surrounding countries that they are not friendly. As stated in the article above and in their latest video, Isis militants have threatened to take the life of yet another innocent person, Alan Henning, who is currently held captive.
