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

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.

Less words, Jordan, more killing.

It looks like Allah wants more killing.

Apparently Muhammed fell into some worldly endeavors like getting money for himself by ransoming too many prisioners. .

Below is a translation from one of the Hadiths.

Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 484: - “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land.

Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”

It looks like Allah got Muhammed and his followers back on mission. -Tom

I hope you do know that the Crusaders lost in the end. It would be better to use a picture of the Mongols. They ran roughshod over the Muslims and were winners. The Muslims shivered with the thought of the Mongolian hordes devastating everything and everyone in their path. They feared the Mongols, the Crusaders, not so much. The Crusaders were too busy screwing over each other to be much of a threat.

I’m sure Zero is already working up an excuse to not support their surge in F-16 operations.

Of course you Moron! At least they had the balls to take on the problem and managed to "cull the heard" for the last several hundred years! Take a look at what Pershing did in the Philippines to thwart the problem. Or would you rather bring ISIS here and give them food stamps? Let them all eat Bacon! Image and video hosting by TinyPic
