ISIS killing homosexuals

One of the most well known terroristic groups in Iraq, known as ISIS, are killing men of being accused of being homosexuals. ISIS would bring these men on top of their tallest buildings and put black masks on them so no one could tell who they are. They would then throw the men off of the buildings and when they reach the ground, ISIS would throw rocks at them. A picture shows a man face down on the ground with men around him holding rocks with the caption "Stoned to death." ISIS would video tape the whole thing while people standing below watch. The people below just stand there watching above and not doing anything about it. Their facial expressions are all the same; not even bothered by what is going on at all. "They might be a little bit excited or maybe happy to get rid of homosexuals in the city." says a LGBT rights activist

1. If you were one of those bystanders, would you just stand there and watch them kill these men or would you take action and do something about it?

2. Why do you think ISIS is attacking all of these different groups?

  • Great job overall! You did all but one reply on one day which I would prefer you reply throughout the week.

  • I would try and get as many people as I could to join me and take action against ISIS. I would rally up some citizens, authorities, and weapons to fight against them, and I wouldn't give in! I believe ISIS is attacking all of these different groups because they believe it will help send their message out to the world, and help get it across and show the world how "serious" or "powerful" they are.

  • If I was a bystander I would try to act quick and try to help them. If I did try that though I feel like if i interfered with the ISIS they would try to kill me. I think that ISIS is attacking different groups because they might be racist. And maybe the want others to believe in what they do.

  • Yes I would just watch because if you would try do something you would probably get killed too. They probably want the country to be one type of person.

    • Yeah I agree, it's kind of like what Hitler wanted in WWll if that what your thinking.

  • I would probably try to do something about it. Also ISIS needs to be bombed so we don't have to deal with them anymore.

  • I would liked to do something against it. But just going up to them and say something probably isn't smart. I would rather call some help on the phone. They are want to scare people, and by videotaping something like that they obliviously succeed in scaring people. 

    • Yeah I would agree, they video tape their mass killings just to show the world how much of a threat they are.

  • If your around men who are willing to kill and have weapons I don't think it's wise to stand up to them. I personally wouldn't, because I wouldn't want to die. Because they think that they are superior, and that their beliefs are superior, like the Nazis in WWII.

    • That's a good comparison with the Nazis.
