Video of the incident has been shared by ISIS supporters on social media and shows a child no older than 10 carrying out the brutal beheading. Wearing camouflage and a black headdress, the boy's face is uncovered - revealing a chilling dead-eyed stare that offers a glimpse of the evil he has witnessed carried out by ISIS' killers. The regime soldier is seen being forced to lay on his stomach as the young boy approaches him from behind, pulls his head back by the hair, and uses a small knife to slit the man's throat and set about beheading him.And, if that's not bad enough, the clip then shows the boy celebrating his kill.
In a moment of true horror the child then lifts the victim's severed head in a warped celebration of the brutal murder. He then places the head on the victim's back. Throughout the entire killing, a senior ISIS fighter is seen observing the shocking scene. At the end of the video the older militant turns to the camera and makes a chilling threat to the West. 'Our goal is not only Palmyra or Homs or Damascus, rather our goal is to conquer Bayt al- Maqdes [Jerusalem] and Rome, God willing,' according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, who say they were sent a copy of the video.Meanwhile, here in the West, we're still supposed to pretend that this is all being done for the sake of some mysterious religion that is definitely "not Islam." Whatever ideology these killers follow, the President and his administration will remind you that Christianity is pretty much just as awful and we're not at a time of war. Nevertheless, we're making tremendous strides fighting ISIS on Twitter, and we're still looking into Marie Harf's "Jobs for Jihadis" program. So there's no need to be concerned. Everything's under control.
