The Daniel Pearl Murder -- Part 1: The Understanding

[exbladex99]

What people forget is that religion is what gives people the power to convince others to kill themselves, to behead others even at the risk of getting arrested or hung. Religion is what puts survival as a low priority, and puts service to God as a high authority. Terrorism and religious violence, is a symptom of superstitious belief without evidence. African soldiers believe in magic potions, that they need to rape others to increase their magical powers. That is their belief, that is religion.

[sternfanmisha]

If he liked being alive he should've stayed out of pakistan, they're not exactly jew-friendly over there...

[mark12345678965]

daniel pearl is one of the agent of cia , and remaining will die soon.

[TheBlackOnWhiteCrime]

@zacharytheknight Why aren't all of you Muslims defending Lara Logan who was sexually assaulted RECENTLY?

[ritchloui]

@TheBlackOnWhiteCrime If a raped woman seeks justice in Islam she must produce four ‘perfect believers’ as witnesses. In other words at least four bearded men must have watched the rape. Obviously begging the question why they didn’t intervene at the time. More wisdom from the ‘religion of peace’. Baby girls of 1 year old may be sodomised Imam Khomeini 1990. (Tehriro vasyleh, fourth edition, Qom, Iran, 1990)

[BIEBEROMFG]

you know, theres a daniel pearl that worked on the texas chain saw massacre, a movie that shows murdering, weird huh?

[Eragon1880]

@basraali2 the reason is that Daniel Pearl was killed extremly gruesomely for the fact that he was JEWISH. Not for being a Zionist, a Palestinian killer, or anything of the sort. Just for his identity, and Islamic terrorists were behind it - and having the audacity to kill him so gruesomely and send in the video. The wars of the countries you mentioned is from a one-side perspective. Many Afghans/Pakastaniians also kill many Americans, who are NOT acknowleged. The same is for Israeli killings..

[rafaqatmalik]

PEACE TO ALL OF YOU ! I am a muslim from pakistan and feel very sorry what happend to peal. the people who have commited this crime are not conciderd muslim by the pakistanies. but we should anylise that why it happens like this? if you type (GUANTANAMO BAY ) in google n search you'll find the reason. this is a reaction of what america is doing with pakistanies but according to isalic teachings this is wrong because islam is a religion of peace and we should treat ppl like this in an impressive

[dxarmy94]

Why do these people have to do this?? America never takes there people off the streets and behead them. People are so evil.

[Cynbad63]

I just watched the video of the execution. Very sad. I still don't understand why people go to such extremes. Killing this innocent man was a waste of a life. Killing him accomplished nothing. "A Mighty Heart" is an excellent movie. My sincere condolences to the Pearl family.

[crazyknight2008]

not all muslims are terrorists.....but most terrorists are muslims ..

[ronnebyrude]

y ur heart not cry when palastinian are slaughtered......the arabs are fellow of jews

how u can say u r great muslim and pakistanies are not real .

[ronnebyrude]

what about the palastine kashmir lebnon somaliya where were ur hearts .why they didnt cry ,,,,,,,,,,and one non muslim killed u r hurt so much as concern to pakistani u should havnt right to say no real muslim.daniel was spy of CIA,therefor killed.i know about the arabs u think u r great muslims ..............................­.ur good fellow of jews ur the cause of palastines killing.u sport israel to kill palastineians..sham for u as muslim.u havnt job except of eating zaitoon and sex.

[HumbleObserver]

For you people having trouble understanding right and wrong, let me help you out, killing non-combatants is wrong.

[modhurima22]

i can't believe the video of Daniel Pearl's execution is actually on the internet! That is so disrespectful towards his wife and family...why would someone put up such a traumatizing video online???

[comets00]

there are LOADS on the Internet, Nick Berg, the guy from south Korea etc etc, not alot turns my stomach but just watching a bit of them really shook me, horrible and in- humane

[whickwolf1]

YES, there is a video!

My advice...do not watch it

[jaidemm]

Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.

[jaidemm]

Has spent 3 hours now searching for the Daniel Pearl video. I can not find it anywhere. Unless the 'Daniel Pearl Death Video' I viewed on YouTube is all there is, but somehow I doubt it. This would be my first time being unable to track a video down online.

[lianxanpo]

The video is quite shocking. you will be able to see the entire decapitation process...one of the most shocking videos ever.

[floriankingma]

uhm, just who is Daniel Pearl?

And where can you see this video where everyone is talking about?

[tkim321]

FBI ordered ISPs to take it off

[RobSnake]

He was a Journalist who was beheaded in pakistan. Just google "Daniel Pearl Beheading Video" i'm sure you will find it, i read that a double MI6 agent is the one who killed him. I also read Khalid Sheikh Mohammed killed him - which he confessed

[ErrrrrrRia]

Just came across the dreaded video. It was a short video, and (thank god) not with much footage or description...

I was looking into 'scruff movies' after watching hostel and hearing about these, i searched to see if these things existed. i found a site which claimed that it probably wasn't true, and only exists in films. But then i saw something about Daniel Pearl beheading video, clicked a link, and the next thing i know i was shocked at what i had just seen.

So yes, the video does exist

[jaidemm]

@ErrrrrrRia You mean "Snuff" videos right?

Could you tell me the website? Thanks.

[BoDiddleyHeadHunter]

everyone talks about daniel pearl but i can't find it on the internet, the video of his beheading.

whys that?

[ambuj1991]

thats coz there is no video of the beheading...they only sent the video showing him handcuffed and a gun to his head...his body was found cut into 10 pieces...

[beccaboard]

I just watched the video yesterday, it's on the internet.

[annamariajoli]

y'all need Jesus!

[basraali2]

As a Pakistani & Muslim i m deeply saddened over this cowardly act of killing Daniel but at the same time i want to know why "Daniel Pearl murder" made headlines over the globe but thousands of innocent childeren,women are being killed everyday in Palestine,Iraq,Afganistan everyday but no one speaks about that.

[schemaia]

Why didn't you mention the Hamas who strikes every once in a while bombs randomly at Israel?! They don't really look where they direct them...I served in the Israel Army and i wanted let you know that we supply Palestines with Power ,Water and Gas.

If we wanted to we could bomb the crap out of them.

[VenusTheGoddess1]

@basraali2 I agree, women who get attacked, violent attacks, raped or murdered don't get much press at all or any, even in western countrys let alone middle eastern countrys. Women are treated like second class citizens, like we don't matter - we need to fight this and let people know we matter just as much as men do.

[jaidemm]

@basraali2 I completely agree with you. While this is very sad, so is all the other innocent victims being killed because of war and because of the US invasion.

[view587]

@basraali2 If only Pakistan were to stop funding terrorism!

[Eragon1880]

@basraali2 the reason is that Daniel Pearl was killed extremly gruesomely for the fact that he was JEWISH. Not for being a Zionist, a Palestinian killer, or anything of the sort. Just for his identity, and Islamic terrorists were behind it - and having the audacity to kill him so gruesomely and send in the video. The wars of the countries you mentioned is from a one-side perspective. Many Afghans/Pakastaniians also kill many Americans, who are NOT acknowleged. The same is for Israeli killings..

[indypindy2]

Justice Was Served.....

[mafaldacrumbwitty]

Daniel Pearl was an example of what people should aspire to be. What a tragedy it is that his son should be forced to grow up without him.

[18ftp18]

atleast they cought the guy

[roberdancer]

like they said in the movie.

they only when when they terrerize

we arent terrized.... we must fight back. we peace and dilouge.

with all my suport to daniels pearls family. his death and his cause will not go forgotten.

[crazylivin]

i just read the auto-bio book a mighty heart, and my heart went out to the pearl family.

[moeneeno]

i am an arab muslim,and im so sorry for ur loss,those who killed him arent muslims these r pure murderers. r.i.p daniel pearl,he was a good person who triied to do even more good and got killed for it. im so sorry for ur lose.

[RevolutionintheUSA]

Thank you for the kind words...I agree with you. These people ARE murderers, NOT Muslims. They just use Allah's name,(which is so wrong!), and Jihad as an excuse to kill anyone they don't like or disagree with. Don't worry I have no hard feelings towards any race or religion. My dad lived in Baharain and Behruit, so I love Middle-Eastern culture. The world needs more compassionate people like you. May God (Allah) Bless You!

[513605]

they use pure stupidity

[ronnebyrude]

@moeneeno y u didnt feel sorry at palastine killing ...

[6789oyster]

@moeneeno but your one of us, we, together are all sorry for his loss.

[kumkum19]

@moeneeno

actually in islam killing the unbeliever rewards u in heaven in accordance to mohammad's teachings. and please dont give me..."people of the book" and "killing one person is like killing the whole of humanity", becaus ther are countless of verses that contradict that. plus if mohammad is to be the prime example for all muslims in any day in age........then mohammad beheaded about 500 jews of the banu qurazi tribe who surrendered to him in his surprise attack against them

[MattBeckstrom]

@moeneeno This is a closed account. Probably because the person who created the account was not an arab muslim. Same deal with cherriediamond. Both are closed accounts - why?!

[Odinopally]

:( No one should die like this. It is so, so sad. Rest In Peace Daniel.

[RevolutionintheUSA]

God Bless Daniel Pearl. I am a Pearl. God Bless his soul. So sad...R.I.P., Daniel!

[karinav3]

I just can't believe how a human being could do something like this.. It's just no human to cut someone head off. It's so sad that all this as to do with religion. No one deserves to die the way these poor people did. God Bless them all.

[kadafi6969]

very sad...real muslims never do bad..peace.

[WERIEVENTS]

"Join us to remember WORLD REFUGEE DAY -20 june."

WERI foundation

[DominusLuna]

It's all the same thing. Daniel wanted to reason with these people the same way that the liberals of the world want to reason with them. The same thing will happen to liberals as Daniel and the sooner they realize this ,.. well screw that liberals will never learn from their mistakes .. they're stupid and mentally ill idiots. The still think that they can reason with these fanatics after all this time there's something wrong with them.

[DominusLuna]

What is to understand? Daniel Pearl was Jewish and abducted and murdered. For being in the wrong place at the right time. He went to interview terrorists after the US warned him it was dangerous to be where he was and he should leave. He stayed behind anyway and got his head sawed off. He would be alive today if he had gotten on a plane like the US told him. His fault for not listening and terrorists fault for killing him. I feel bad for him but he was partially at fault. Understand what..

[ilb410]

very sad

[cherriediamond]

I'm a Muslim, & what happened to Danial Pearl is something that breaks my heart. I cried after watching "the mighty heart", those pakistanie dogs should be burned to death. these evil people hide behind the "islamic" name to give the real muslims a very bad name. what happened to danial is something no one should go through. & Islam is a religion of peace, not hatered.

I hope all pakistanies die. they've done nothing but shame us muslims.

this is NOT Islamic AT ALL.

[oriocoookie]

@cherriediamond islam is not a religion of peace ... read the koran ... the fanatics legitimize their actions by quoting the koran .. islam is a violent evil religion ... should be amended or eliminated

[fridgeme]

@oriocoookie people like you are the reason why these things happen. you're no different from all the murderers out there.

[police785]

@cherriediamond

I disagree can we please not use the terms "Muslims" or "Pakistanis" because first of all let me put down something if a man gets killed by a gang of whites you wouldn't say oh i wish all christians die but would say shame on those people so why when it comes to muslims you lot start using the terms "pakistanis" or "muslims" personally none of us have seen those people if you have then just because they are brown you cannot judge weder dey wer muslims

[Assaultpredator]

@cherriediamond

The problem is that Islam is a lot easier to pick and choose verses to support a violent ideology.

I am against all delusions in general, and what is REALLY scary is despite what you say, global polls taken on muslims asking about whether they condemn suicide bombers.... and let's just say the results are less than promising.

I don't believe muslims are bad people, I just feel any dogmatic group or religion that is stuck over 1,000 years in the past should not govern people.

[gaara0331]

@cherriediamond so true brother i hope people understands that muslims are not one brain.

[dinahashmi]

Daniel Pearl was a man that Stood up for what he believed in and was murdered for that..

I admire Daniel Pearl...

I also am muslim and ISLAM does not condone the fanactics & fundo's that killed this man..

He was a man that loved his wife and job and music.. he was a Jew, and thats his right, in the end he was murdered by IDIOTS for his beliefs..

VERY VERY SAD.

[caliyat]

Danny Pearl is dead because he was an American and a because he was a Jew. But mostly because he could not conceive of the kind of vile, blind hatred that would murder a Wall Street Journal reporter who was just trying to tell the world the terrorist's side of the story. Watch the movie "A Mighty Heart" and read "Because They Hate" by Brigitte Gabriel. Daniel Pearl is dead because he thought such monsters would listen to reason. His horrific murder is proof that they won't. Religion of peace? No

[bluntu]

Islam is a religion of PEACE, people who killed Danny are not worthy to be called Muslims. You tell me? Someday if a christian group or a JEWISH guy kills some people, would you call them terrorist just coz they are jewish or christians. No... Terrorism does not come from any religion. It's a totally different phase, unfortunately which has been taken by people who call them Muslims, though they are not.

[achillesninja]

you cant watch 2 western movies and expect that to be the cut and dry truth.. the movies leave a very black and white feeling to the hole story.. expecailly since it went public.. im sure theres alot more to the story

[achillesninja]

they killed him becasue hhe was american.. and as heartless as this sounds to say.. the americans went over there and killed a bunch of innocent civilianns because it was a "terroist state" and its not just a theroy its true.. there are videos of american soilders toying with innocents.. neither side is right.. war only creates death.. not peace.. there will never be peace.. with our intellengence these days we are still stupid

[YR1947]

this is really one of the rare movies where actors actually physically similar to the real life individuals

[twoturtles]

I tried to post earlier, it must have gone to reanna. I agree with her. People need to watch "A Mighty Heart". They need to put aside that it is Angelina Jolie or that Daniel Pearl was Jewish. Did he deserve to be murdered & have his body cut apart? When watching this movie, think that Mariane Pearl handled herself with courage & grace to face another day. That Mr. Pearl had family & friends that miss him. He was kidnapped 01/23/02 6 yrs ago. A little boy never got to know his father.

[SweetAttentions]

He is not dead because is is a jew but because he is amercain !!!!

[reanaa]

Nothing positive is gained in murder, only hatred and suffering are perpetuated. I feel pity for the anger the men must have felt that killed him, pity for the fear he felt, sorrow for his wife, friends and family who are left without him, for his child who is fatherless. I see the text below me, that same intolerance, that same anger, that same blame that led to this, that leads to so many deaths around the world and I think that God, regardless of what you call him by, must be crying.

[twoturtles]

Ditto to what reanaa posted. Watch 'A Mighty Heart' and not think, hey, this is Angelina Jolie or Daniel Pearl was a Jew BUT think he was a person who was once alive and had people who loved him and now miss him. What did he do to deserve such a horrible death and then cut into pieces? Think that, when you watch the movie, that Mariane Pearl handled herself with courage and grace to face another day. Blame can be placed but does nothing to correct or fix mistakes. Arrogance is potent!

[LovinMySoldier88]

People cry because the fact that even though he was in a horible position, he never gave up on his faith. To the end he stood by his beliefs.

[AbdullahIslam1]

One Jew dies (Daniel Pearl), and the entire world cries. Hundreds of Palestinian Muslims die, and the world doesnt seem to care.

[konagnu]

Spoken like a true Muslim extremist, none of whom have the moral capacity to manage to live in a civilized world. Here are other books to add to your favorite reading: The Truth About Muhammad, Because They Hate, Infidel, Hay, and check out the website Apostates of Islam, get the real scoop on the religion of "peace"

[sjsharksfan12345]

That is becuase he is american not because he is jewish. And we as as americans just don't like you or your kind. And what i mean by your kind is someone who makes a stupid comment like you just did. And for the most part most of us could care less about what is going on in palistine but we do care about our fellow americans doing their job and dying for it.

[theonlycuregirl]

That's not true. I feel for the displace and murdered Palestinians everyday. But you don't care about that, you just want to start some controversial chain here to make people angry and peg your religion against theirs.

Instead of jew or Palestinian, how about fellow man.

[boxsterwelby]

great comment, we get sucked in to who is wrong, but you have to look at the mistreatment of both sides and understand that both sides feel like they have their back against the wall. Let's solve this problem in the name of humanity.

[averitas]

Especially their muslim brothers, who kill more of their own than anyone else. Palis are in their govt., have jobs there, medical; Can Jews or Palis have that in Palestine? Israel fixes their sewer problems, send food and fuel. Where's the 40 years of ME telethon millions for 'the Palis'?

[princeemad]

dude your wrong

as a pakistani i must say that u r being a little racist to the jews

Islam teaches us peace not hatred

[Kamenolom]

I am so hard pressed in believeing anything that comes out of an americans mouth! They've been fabricating reality that conforms to their interets for way too long...US get out of Kosovo! The congress lobbyists that are paid with heroin money to push KiM independence agenda will be stopped!

[Matrixmadman]

how is it pakistans fault he was undercover you idiots

[davidbryson3]

pakistan shud pay

[911INSIDEJOB77]

Great upload thank you

[KisaShippo]

I remember hearing about his murder on the news.

[Krummy2k6]

I never knew he was told not to meet at the religious school for obvious reasons. He was told this by a top American security official. He knew he was dealing with terrorists. why did he go anyway? Did he think "getting the story" was worth his life? As a critically thinking person, the 2 weeks of "bait & switch" still would not obscure the reality of who he was dealing with and where was going. I'm afraid Mr. Pearl brought this upon himself.

[rezasantorini]

say that about the Christian reporters that have been killed. I guess we shouldn't respect the brave ones that want to give us the truth.

[konagnu]

What difference does a reporters religion make?

[strakallah]

You sir are an idiot. A reporters job is to seek truth. A humans job is not to kidnap people. Asswipes with no morality brought this.

[bltsluver]

wow.....

im realy glad they made a movie about this....

[whit101]

Good Internet, good YouTube.

[ksn286]

That's sad

[odysseus1250]

Great use of youtube -- someone with personal knowledge of an important event making his impressions known in a media that can be accessed.

[MetalMonger63]

Hmmm.

[dehnadd]

lol

[knuckleupjonez]

i hope the upcoming movie really shows the kind of animals were dealing with here.

[bklynmosmvp]

how would a movie tell you the reality of something? it just shows you dellusions.

[XXninebXX]
