Execution -- ISIS and Jordan

Brings to mind the term 'tit for tat' and Gandhi's famous line, 'an eye for an eye and the whole world will be blind'.
What's disturbing is not just the violence committed by the ISIS (burning hostages alive is definitely a notch up compared to the beheading of the Japanese earlier on) but the equally venomous and vindictive remarks coming those on the 'good guys' side, esp the remarks from religious groups. Suddenly, the line btw the 'good' and 'bad' guys are blurred....

Note also the role of the internet in spreading terror through the videos of the killing....
