President Obama confirmed today that American ISIS hostage Kayla Mueller has been killed, days after the terror group claimed she had died in a Jordanian airstrike. It is with profound sadness that we have learned of the death of Kayla Jean Mueller, Obama said in a statement released by the White House. On behalf of the American people, Michelle and I convey our deepest condolences to Kaylas family her parents, Marsha and Carl, and her brother Eric and his family and all of those who loved Kayla dearly. At this time of unimaginable suffering, the country shares in their grief.So, they didn't transcribe the president ululating?

You made an error in reading, Gaffer, or the OP was not clear enough. What was meant was not a Jordan response, but a Jordan-like response.

We all know what the real problem is here: possible anti-Muslim backlash.

I don’t think you’re being too picky. Sometimes punctuation, spelling, and grammar actually affect how we interpret what we read.

Because Obama released such a long statement I assume that she was Muslim.
Does anyone know?

Good Lord she was taken in August of 2013. I cannot imagine the unspeakable horror of the last 18 months of her life.

a young girl like her would only have been killed after they tired of using her - as understand those barbarians.

Then let us go on offense against the original poster!
CABLEGUYMN! Your writing is illiterate! THAT IS WHY GAFFER MISUNDERSTOOD YOU!!!
I dont expect a jordan like response to this. but i do demand one.should be
I don't expect a Jordan-like response to this, but I do demand one.
Note the capitalization, the removal of the period and the addition of the comma. This improves readability. Further, the insertion of a hyphen between 'Jordan' and 'like' makes it clear you are indicating you want a response that is similar to Jordan's.
Otherwise, it could be inferred that you like Jordan.
The fault is ALL YOURS, cableguymn, for the misunderstandy.
