I've read that the kidnappers and beheaders, especially the beheaders, are largely seen as "holy warriors." And the videos of beheadings are actually recruiting tools. The videos of the beheadings apparently get some young Muslim males all fired up to join the "holy war."

The American TV networks (including cable news networks) do not air these videos like Al Jazeera. There would be a huge outcry against the networks if they did.

What about German TV? Do they air these and similar videos?
