Why should he grow a pair when he is not even on our side?

“....he is purportedly a direct lineal descendant of Mohammad.”

.
That’s not very good advertisement considering what Moh is guilty of.

Or should we all forget the methods that Islam used in spreading through Asia Minor, India, North Africa and parts of Europe?

Since when does ISIS “own” ground. They may hold it, but it’s not theirs yet.

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. He’s only a direct descendant of one of Mad Mo’s daughters, who were probably as victimized as their respective mothers. His sons were beheaded in infancy, I think.

Time for Jordan to invade Syria and boot the PLO and the shiites Iranian along with ISIS and Assad.

No doubt Obama is meeting other muslims at the White House to be briefed on the types of pointers to stop that from happening.

amnesty International is already accusing Jordan for the hangings.

No, but consider *this*, he could leverage that into a declaration of ISIS, with its 'caliphate' as being illegitimate...

“Someone needs to let this guy have some access to some MOABs...”

No, he’ll be summarily cut off from all aid and put in the “Israel Column” by the State Dept.

“....he is purportedly a direct lineal descendant of Mohammad.”

There is absolutely nothing I can find which legitimately & beyond a doubt (conjecture) suggests King Abdullah II of Jordan is a "direct lineal [direct] descendant of Mohammad."

However, the Heshemites were/are a bedouin tribe with several clans to which Mohammad belonged, and King Abdullah II might be related (to one of the clans) on his father's side.

His biological mother (Princess Muna al-Hussein of Jordan) a British, ethnically and by citizenship, and a Christian, until she converted to Islam after she married King Hussein of Jordan (King Abdullah II's father).

P.S. -- even direct lineage is not considered "an automatic authority" in Islamic sphere, for sunnis.

For Shi'ites they put a direct emphasis on bloodlines, and often you see (Iranian) Mullahs who wear the Black Turban (as opposed to white turban) claim to be direct descendants of the Mohammad.

In Sunni-Islam, what counts is the "choice of authority" by the Ummah (Islamic community). In that sense, one can say the sunnis are, historically & religiously at least are more 'democratic'!
