ISIS Beheadings In Libya Devastate An Egyptian Village

      Over this past weekend, the Libya branch of the self-proclaimed Islamic State beheading 21 male prisoners.  All of the men in the video have been identified as Christian laborers from Egypt except for one who hasn't yet been identified. This is not the first brutal attack that has been recorded in recent weeks. ISIS has been recording acts of terrorism that involve stabbing and burning people as means of intimidation. 13 of the men in the recent video were from El-Aour, a small Egyption town near the Nile river. Local Priests say the day the massacre happened, you could her a scream from every house in the town. The men from ISIS came to the town about one month ago and specifically demanded for Christians. At the time the town had no idea what was going on and the men were taken away in four vehicles. 

      The rest of the article goes on to talk about how the town is being comforted, and how it's dealing with the great losses. The church has been saying prayers for the murdered Christians and singing hyms. The town is still in mourning, but with the help from the church they will hopefully get through their lossses.

      ISIS has been striking terror through the lives of many people over the past year which I have been discussing with my classmates throughout the past few weeks. I believe that what ISIS is doing is terrible, and I in no way support them. I feel awful for the town of El-Aour  and the families of the fallen Christians. I believe that in order to stop these terrorist attacks by ISIS, the U.S. needs to station troops on ISIS soil and either protect the people threatened by ISIS or eliminate ISIS threats. If we have more troops we will prevent deaths on innocent men and women` even though they are not American.
