Horrifying video of militants beheading Polish engineer is released by Pakistani Taliban

A shocking new video that appears to show Pakistani militants beheading a kidnapped Polish engineer has emerged. The seven-minute video appears to show the Polish hostage, Piotr Stanczak, sitting on the floor flanked by two masked men. Off camera, a militant briefly engages him in conversation before three others behead him. The video is so horrifying that some news wire agencies chose not to distribute the images. One of the hooded men then addresses the camera, blaming Pakistan for the killing for not agreeing to their demands to release Taliban prisoners. If confirmed, Stanczak's death would appear to be the first killing of a Western hostage in Pakistan since U.S. journalist Daniel Pearl was beheaded in 2002.

This is so horrifying...this poor man, God rest his soul. I weep for him and his family. Our President does not have the insight or will to defeat such evil. God help us all.

Dear God.

I’m American of Polish descent. He looks like my uncle John - and so many others I grew up around. Our friends and neighbors were all Eastern European immigrants in the Pittsburgh-suburb area where I lived.

May God rest his soul.

And may God give us the strength and wisdom to fight these barbaric animals hiding behind that evil ‘religion’!

As my tagline would read in full if FR permitted space:

“And when they behead your own people in the wars, which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.”

—Slobodan Milosevic, speaking before the Kangaroo Court for the Former Yugoslavia in the Hague

America will once again understand why we had to intern Japanese in WWII... because that day will come again to America and it will be muzzie death cult members that will be interned. We are going to get hit again... and those that know say it will be much worse than 9/11... when and where? Are you ready?

I keep waiting for some other country to just go nuts on these bastards. If I were Polish prez, I would immediately attack Pakistan with the whole magilla. I would dare them to even say anything if they can't control these areas.

When the Paks protested, I would just say we are doing the job you don't seem to be able to do. If they still protest, then that would show they are on the side of the beheaders and we would be at war with the whole country.

As a citizen, I would hate to know this could happen to me or my family and my country would just protests a bit at the UN. This is a simple choice, we either accept this behaviour or exterminate it. By doing nothing we just invite more of it.

YOUR president is a muzzie and will... by his own admission... side with muzzies if it comes to us or them. He is not “our” president... not for all of us.

Savages. Since they blew up the Buddhas, they have consistently shown that they are savages.

If they are so proud of what they do, why do they wear masks? Take them off! Lets see the big brave savages so that we might hunt them down and kill them like pigs.

I am trembling with rage. Kill every one of those vermin.

Just remember, Mexico is far ahead of Pakistan in beheadings.

I agree that these people are animals but I also don’t see where violating our own laws and principles, such as by locking people up without charges or trial, accomplishes anything or exemplifies our own values.

It is ALLOWED under the Geneva Convention. These animals are "illegal combatants". They can be tortured OR summarily executed on the spot without any trial or legal procedeings, just like spies can be, no uniform means instant death. WE did exactly that in WWII, executed Nazi spies found in the US, ON OUR OWN SOIL, and nobody complained, because it was a KNOWN FACT OF INTERNATIONAL LAW. Bush "extended" the provisions of the Geneva Convention to these animals, but was under no obligation to do so. He screwed that part of the WOT up. He should have NEVER done such a thing. Now, they know that if they are captured, they won't be tortured or mistreated............
