I would not watch the video of Jordanian pilot Mouath al-Kasaesbeh being consumed by fire, because to do so was exactly what the Islamist barbarians who produced it wanted. They wanted not only to kill their captive in the most horrific way imaginable, but also to burn the images of his immolation into the minds of those who oppose them. Terror is their most effective weapon. The only way they can achieve victory is by frightening people into submission. Scare off those who would join an alliance to fight the Islamic State, and ISIS wins.
But barbarity also has a way of inspiring courage. King Abdullah II of Jordan, no stranger to combat as a former attack helicopter pilot and commander of Jordan's special forces, has vowed a "relentless" fight against ISIS. If the terrorists thought they would make fellow Arabs retreat, they may be in for a rude awakening.
Jordan responded to the murder by flying more sorties over ISIS-held territory in Syria. Other Arab leaders have responded, as well -- though more rhetorically than tactically. But defeating ISIS from the air is unlikely. And here, all civilized nations should be concerned.
Has any war ever been won from 20,000 feet -- short of dropping a nuclear bomb? And even the U.S. victory in the Pacific in World War II with the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki came only after nearly four years of relentless battles on land and sea and in the air.
Yet President Obama has said again and again that he will not put boots on the ground to fight ISIS. Indeed, the president authorized sending more U.S. soldiers to West Africa to fight Ebola last year than he was willing to commit in even an advisory capacity to fight ISIS in Iraq. In September, The Washington Post reported up to 4,000 U.S. military personnel were being sent to Africa to help fight the deadly disease, while the paper reported this week that only about 2,700 U.S. military advisers have been deployed to Iraq to provide security and support to Iraqi troops.
ISIS will not be stopped until nations commit to fight them with all their resources. The Arab world should step up to the plate -- but they won't as long as the U.S. holds back.
As Sen. John McCain said two weeks ago on CBS's Face the Nation, "We need more boots on the ground. I know that is a tough thing to say and a tough thing for Americans to swallow, but it doesn't mean the 82nd Airborne. It means forward air controllers. It means special forces. It means intelligence, and it means other capabilities."
If the horrific video teaches us anything, it is that the barbarians are at the gate. Either we fight them with all the means we have at our disposal, or we will see more of their torture and killing. We already have witnessed crucifixions, children buried alive, women raped and stoned to death, countless beheadings and now a prisoner burned in a cage.
The Islamists are on the march in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia. They have attacked us in New York, Washington, Paris, Madrid, London, Mumbai and Nairobi. They have threatened to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth and kill all Jews. They force schoolgirls to be sex slaves and kill little boys in their classrooms. How much more will it take until we say "no more"?
If fighting this evil is not worth sacrifice, nothing is. Obama can say, as he did in response to the killing of the Jordanian pilot, that "we'll redouble the vigilance and determination on the part of our global coalition to make sure (ISIS is) degraded and ultimately defeated." But unless he commits to lead the fight, the video of First Lt. al-Kasaesbeh will not be the last grisly death we're asked to witness. We choose courage or submission. There is no middle ground.
The barbaric death of that Jordanian pilot perfectly depicts what Obama is doing to America.
It sure does
If it were oshiitehead in that cage his fat in his head would still be burning.
because to do so was exactly what the Islamist barbarians who produced it wanted. They wanted not only to kill their captive in the most horrific way imaginable, but also to burn the images of his immolation into the minds of those who oppose them.
What do you mean you wouldn’t watch it? Do you actually mean to imply that you would be terrified of these islamofascist sobs? Really? Your heart wouldn’t seethe with anger?
I watched it several times just to sear those images into my mind: to totally yearn and pray for the death of each and every masked bastard who participated or cheered. This video and the countless others should be rubbed in everyone’s face because apparently the reality of them is lost on some folks. Including Zerohisseff bin Fukhead.
There is only one response to these black flag waving beasts: death. Keep shooting until they are dead. every damn one of them. And if more decide to step up to take their place, kill them too.
“Those who ignore history are damned to repeat” George Santayana.
Stop Obama’s adulterated history of Islam.
It is despicable Obama’s equating of the history of Christendom to the debauchery that pervaded Islam’s history since its foundation.
Beheading is a permanent staple of Islam, that is why Mohammed owned several swords, one infamously named the “cleaver of vertebrae.”
Obama always tries to shield the atrocities committed in the name of Islam.
As Reverend Graham further said in response to President Barack Obama drawing a parallel between the barbaric acts of the Islamic State today with actions by Christians during the Crusades, which ended 700 years ago, evangelist Franklin Graham said there was a difference between Jesus Christ who “taught peace “ and did “not take life” versus Mohammed, who “was a warrior and killed many innocent people.”
Reverend Graham further said that, “True followers of Christ emulate Christ – true followers of Mohammed emulate Mohammed.”

Islamic Terror Attacks on Christians
(Since 9/11)
This is a list of targeted acts of terrorism on Christian civilians and church workers by religious Muslims since September 11th, 2001. These attacks have nothing to do with war, combat or insurgency. The victims are innocent Christians who were specifically targeted and abused solely on account of their faith by those who claim their own religion as a motive.
There may be a few anomalies on the list, as it is compiled by keyword search from our main database. Neither is this a complete account of Islamic terror attacks on Christians since much of the violence goes unreported.

Debauchery always has been at the core of Islam since its foundation.
Islam: The Awful Truth
By Justin O. Smith
American Thinker
October 4, 2014
Islam is violent and repressive, and its sacred texts are the heart of darkness at the center of the Islamic State’s inspiration and motivation, despite Barack Obama’s assertions in September 10th’s address to the nation that the Islamic State “is not Islamic” and that “no religion condones the killing of innocents.”
Violence is an integral part of Islamic doctrine, following the example set by its Prophet Mohammed, and in the name of Islam and Allah, Muslims have been murdering innocents, since 656 AD.
Six hundred years after Mohammed, one of Islam’s most respected scholars, Ibn Khuldan wrote ‘Muqaddimah’ (Introduction to History), which explained: “In the Muslim community, the holy war is religious duty, because of the universalism of the Muslim mission and [the obligation to] convert everybody to Islam either by persuasion or force.”
Like most good Muslims, Khaldun’s inspiration came from ‘The Verse of the Sword’, Sura 9:5, “revealed”
Sura 9:5__ “...kill the Mushrikun (unbelievers) wherever you find them ... But if they repent and perform As-Salat/ Iqamat-as-Salat [the Islamic ritual prayers], then leave their way free...” Also Sura 9:33__ “It is He [Allah] Who has sent His Messenger [Mohammed] with guidance and the religion of truth [Islam], to make it superior over all religions...”
The Hindu Kush, seventy-five thousand square miles between Afghanistan and Pakistan, was populated by Hindus until approximately 1000 AD and the Muslim invasions. An estimated 60 million Hindus were murdered by Muslims over a thousand year reign, and Hindu Kush is the Muslim name for the region. It means “Hindu Killer.
The rest of the history.

the video of First Lt. al-Kasaesbeh will not be the last grisly death we’re asked to witness.
Of this we can be certain.
I would not watch the film either as I don’t need to see the poor devil burn but reports of this action have given me a few new ideas on how to deal with muslims.
They’re NOT at the gate.
It’s a myth.
They are being invited to enter through that gate and they’re coming in droves and those elected to defend this country (with the exception of the military) are intentionally asleep at the wheel.
THERE IS NO GATE.
After seeing it, our youngest daughter, 16, remarked that this video should be shown in all High schools.
She understands full well that her generation will be and is affected by these Islamic Terrorists. And she knows that America should not be hiding the knowledge of such evil from its children.
Fox News had the video on it’s site, I watched it until the ISIS terrorist lite the fuse, then I turned it off. I seen the pictures with the pilot in the cage engulfed in flames. that was enough for me
My sentiments exactly. I held off watching for a few days, and then decided that should I ever have the opportunity to put down one of those muslim animals there should be no hesitation. So, I watched a brave man die. And there will be no hesitation.
I won’t watch it, I don’t need more “proof” of the horrors of the Muslims and what Obama is bringing down upon us. But I disagree that it is not helpful. I think it is. There are too many who absolutely do not believe any of this is going on, and they need to see proof. My neighbor across the street is an obamaphile. She is convinced that all of this is just right wing hype against Muslims. Then I sent her the link, she made the ‘error’ of watching it. It shook her, I could really tell ...especially when her voice quivered as she said that was “obviously a “fake video.”
