Queen Rania of Jordan led protests on the streets of the capital Amman this morning as thousands took to the streets after Friday prayers to urge King Abdullah II to step up airstrikes against the Islamic State to avenge the brutal murder of pilot Moaz al-Kasaesbeh.
Crowds massed near the city's main Husseini mosque, then marched chanting 'Death to Daesh', using a derogatory Arabic acronym for the terror group, in the latest sign of mounting public anger.
The rally came three days after Islamic State released a video purporting to show Kasaesbeh being burnt alive in a cage as masked militants in camouflage uniforms looked on.
The act has been widely condemned as among the most sickening ever committed to film and has sent waves of revulsion across the Middle East. Jordan's royal family have led the anti-ISIS protests in the country, with King Abdullah making an emotional visit to the pilot's grieving relatives in his tribal home village yesterday and Queen Rania breaking down in tears as she embraced and comforted his young widow.

I think a difficult thing we have here is figuring out the Muslim turf war vs the Arab turf war vs the Persian turf war.
None of them are one in the same. Daesh going after the Heshimite King is asking for major trouble
Oh yeah, forgot about that!
“Her act created waves of revulsion across the Mideas...”
Good.
A Muslim woman not acting as a man’s chattle property
Civilized people have been asking when “moderate” Islamics would stand up to and speak out against savage, murdering Muslim murderers.
She has taken a step in the right direction. The King (not meaning Obama) should be invited to address Congress.
What a good-looking family.
You read that wrong. ‘The act’ - refers to the burning of pilot - see the rest of the sentence.
Not saying that the knuckledraggers in ME aren’t angry a woman is speaking up...
“Not saying the knuckledraggers in the ME aren’t angry at a woman...”
Yeah,I read it wrong. I guess I “misremembered” what I read.
I understand that’s a good excuse now.
Nice to see a good mohammedan demonstration in the streets.
In the graphic above of her in a sitting position I see a background with the words “Clinton Global Initiative”. Don’t know what to make of that.
She’s beautiful. He married up, LOL.
