Plea Issued by Frenchman Hervé Gourdel Before His Execution by Jund al-Khilafah in Algeria

Before he was beheaded by Jund al-Khilafah – Algerian militant group affiliated with the Islamic State, Frenchman Hervé Gourdel issued a video statement in which he pleas with the French government and especially president Francois Hollande to not intervene in Iraq. The plea is spoken in French, but the video is provided with English subtitles.

It’s hard to find the words to describe the cowardice of Mr. Gourdel’s abductors and executioner as they basically kidnapped a mountain guide. Tourism is beneficial to every country’s economy as foreigners finance their stay with money earned abroad. It is terrible tourism PR for Algeria to execute a non combatant who did not seek to engage in any form of activity hostile to their ideologies.

But then again, at least the Algerians are not being pretentious about the country being unsafe for tourists. Unlike Thailand, which is far more dangerous to foreigners not only than Algeria, or all of the Middle East, but the whole rest of the world. More foreigners are murdered in Thailand than in the rest of the world combined, and it’s been like that for years upon years.

Props to Best Gore member Baby14 for the video:
