From a CNN money article:

"We've shown the world the true horror of this form of execution more than once in the past and we cannot find any compelling reason to even be thought of as promoting the actions of this group," LiveLeak said in a statement.

. . .

The fact of the matter is that many millions of Internet users seek out sites like LiveLeak to see the very kind of gruesome content that traditional media refrain from showing viewers.

But "our belief in your rights to view whatever you wish do not override our rights to not host it here," LiveLeak said.

From a related inquisitr.com article featuring an interview with the military chief for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL):

The talk show host then specifically asked the ISIS leader if Islam is a religion of peace. While al-Shishani did not specifically say “yes” or “no,” his actual answer was not exactly comforting:

“It is the religion of prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. It is not the religion of the Western hippie who tries to be accepted by you.”

. . .

Critics of this decision claim media outlets are watering down the truth by attempting to make the situation more family friendly. Those who support the decision say the only reason to watch such videos is because people desire to watch these gruesome actions and not because they desire to know the truth. They also contend that ISIS wants the videos to be spread and watching them only encourages more ISIS beheadings.

Do you think banning the violent ISIS beheading videos helps or hinders the cause of the Islamic terrorist group?
