IS has threatened to execute 2 Japanese hostages unless the Japanese government pay a 200 million dollar ransom. The Japanese government said the threat is unforgivable and has 'indicated' it will not pay 'thus far'. They have put a time limit of 72 hours before the execution.

It is a case of IS wanting to dominate the world and doesn't care what colour you are, what your religion is, nor where your country is .
