I unraveled this little tid bit of information here. I thought it was quite interesting. It would appear that the captive's are given a false sense of security by being brought to mock executions many times. ISIS waits until their captive's least expect it and perform the actual executions on camera. Captives are often given Arabic names to help them identify a bit more with their captors. Although it isn't mentioned in the article, I detect a sense of Stockholm Syndrome; a form of brainwashing which allows hostages to feel like they are part of the group. Kind of sick and depraved if you ask me. ISIS needs to be dealt with. They are a looming threat that needs to be stamped out before any more innocents are slaughtered.
This is so saddening. This is why we need these things to be reported but it's not. It's very sad how many people are dying.
