Some folks are not going to be beheaded today...

Also ironic on the day when Turkey's leader slams US "rudeness"...
Erdogan accused the US of being "rude" for pressuring it to help save the ISIL-besieged Syrian town of Kobane, which is within sight of the Turkish border.
"Why is somebody coming to this region from 12,000km away?" Erdogan said during an address to a group of businessmen in Ankara, in a clear reference to the US.
"I want you to know that we are against impertinence, recklessness and endless demands," he said.
