I think many people are apathetic by this point. Terrorists gonna terrorise, and there's **** all we can do about it. Sure, it was a god-awful way to go, I'm not disputing that; "barbaric" doesn't even do it justice. But we all know fo' sho that IS aren't going to change what they're doing because a few people protest (have fundamentals ever actually listened to anything else other than the idiocy they've been fed from someone else?), they probably get off on that ****.

Is apathy right? Of course not. But nothing's going to change as a result of protest, they're not going to stop killing people, and the only way to stop them is to blitz them out of existence. Sadly, while the US are the best equipped for doing this, they're also incredibly trigger happy and have the inability to discern hostile target from civilian.

Whilst I agree with what you're saying, the same can be applied to Muhammad cartoons: there's naff all people can do about them being disseminated, the makers aren't going to stop now, etc.

And I would disagree that there's apathy in respect of this, mainly due to the level of cruelty and sadism that has gone into it.

Surely the latter is more of an attack on, and offensive to, Islam as they are committing such a horrific act in the so-called name of Islam. Or are cartoons more offensive than this?

I know that the vast majority of Muslims condemn ISIS' act, but I am more referring to the thousands that always seem to pop-up after a cartoon drama, but stay indoors when stuff like this happens, which IMO is more offensive to Islam.
