The fate of Japanese hostages are still unknown



72 hours have passed since the IS revealed the video. But the government cannot contact with IS directly yet and the information on the hostages are not delivered at all. The government will not pay for the ransom but continue trying negotiation instead.But it’s obvious that they are watching what Japan reacts through media. The government should talk to IS through TV or any other method.

On the other hand, Islamic religious people living in Tokyo held a worship yesterday and requested the release of the hostages. They also told that their idea and behavior is different from true Islam.

I think it is very important that we distinguish Islamic State from Islamic people or countries. Prejudice may prevail if we let it go likewise it occurred when 9.11 attack was happened in the US.
