Jordan's King Slams 'Cowardly' ISIS After Pilot Executed
Arutz Sheva ^ | 4/2/14 | Ben Ariel

Posted on 02/03/2015 3:40:08 PM PST by Eleutheria5

Jordan’s King Abdullah on Tuesday described the Islamic State (ISIS) as a “cowardly” organization, and added that its killing of pilot Maaz al-Kassasbeh will only strengthen Jordanians.

“We have received with all sorrow, grief and anger, the news of the martyrdom of the brave pilot Maaz al-Kassasbeh, may Allah bless his soul, at the hand of the terrorist and cowardly Daesh organization, this criminal, stray gang that has nothing to do with our true religion,” the King said in a statement quoted by the Jordan Times and in which he used an Arabic acronym for ISIS.

“At this difficult time, it is the duty of all citizens to unify their ranks and show the true character of the Jordanian people when they face hardships and plights, which will only strengthen us and reinforce our unity,” added King Abdullah, who is currently on a visit to the United States which he said he would cut short.

Earlier Tuesday, ISIS released a video purportedly showing the burning alive of al-Kassasbeh.

Kassasbeh was captured on December 24 after his F-16 jet crashed while on a mission over northern Syria as part of the US-led coalition campaign against the jihadists.

The highly produced, 22-minute video shows footage of Kassasbeh sitting at a table discussing coalition operations against ISIS, with flags from the various Western and Arab countries in the alliance projected in the background.

In response to the brutal killing, Jordan said it would execute five terrorist prisoners in revenge.

Why only five? Execute em all.

We stopped taking prisoners in the Pacific for far less reason than these subhumans have given us.

Don’t slam them.

End their cursed existence with extreme mother ****in’ prejudice.

There is no place in this world for these beasts.

Now is the time.

Yes. The ideology must be eradicated. No reasoning with them will ever work.

But violence never solves anything (except who will walk away alive and write the history books).

In that part of the world, the only ones who get to be elite fighter pilots are people with connections or the royalty. I have no doubt his family is ringing the phone off the hook on this guy. I would love to know what the pilots “wasta” was.

This has everything to do with Islam. Islam is a death cult spread by the sword. There is no peace in it.

I have not heard from resident Obama on this horrible murder. Is he in the White House cowering in fear of his Muslim Brothers? Or fund-raising in Las Vegas again?

I thought the threat was to kill all of them as well.. I mean you loose all your bargaining chips but a threat is a threat and doing anything less makes you weaker..

ISIS does not give to poops about their captured people anyways..

Kill our guy and we turn your area in to a glass parking lot.. And then doing so will get you noticed.

Find out what they are really afraid of and DO IT TO THEM.

Of course the hand wringers stateside will be out in force threatening legal action.

I watched the video.
This was a direct attack at King Abdulla.
The video also showed at the end photos and locations of the homes of several Jordanian pilots.
Of course pResident Obama sheds crocodile tears.
At this point the only way to deal with ISIS (or whatever they choose to call themselves) is TOTAL ANNIHILATION.
No POW’s. No mercy. KILL. THEM. ALL.
Capture some to extract intel, and then KILL THEM.

I hope there is a chance that someone in King Abdulla’s court reads this.

There is a chance that someone in King Abdullah’s court said this, quite possibly King Abdullah.
