While Barack Obama was at the United Nations insisting that Islam is a peaceful faith, some of its most devoted adherents were slitting the throat of French tour guide Herve Gourdel and putting video of the murder on Twitter. This time it's not ISIS proper but an associated group operating in Algeria under the name Jund al-Khilafah. They had demanded that France end its role in the military action against ISIS. The French, to their credit, refused. But sadly it cost Gourdel his life in the grisly manner that has become the signature of these animals.
