Barbarism demands a response
(UK Daily Mail) Jordan has executed two ISIS-linked prisoners, including a would-be female suicide bomber, it has been revealed this morning.
The executions, at about 4am local time today, came just hours after Islamic State militants released a sickening video showing a captured Jordanian fighter pilot being burned alive in a cage.
Jordan had vowed a swift and lethal response and government officials this morning revealed that two prisoners, Sajida al-Rishawi and Ziad al-Karbouli, have already been hanged.
Al-Rishawi had been on death row for her role in a triple hotel bombing in the Jordanian capital Amman in 2005 that killed dozens.
The executions took place after gruesome footage emerged showing Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh being torched to death by his captors.
The article has an interesting sidebar piece about ISIS
The latest murder by Islamic State terrorists represents a new level of barbarity from a group notorious for its savagery.
As with previous beheading videos, footage of Moaz al-Kasasbeh’s murder is characterised by its slick production values and graphics.
But unlike the others, it contains an added cinematic dimension clearly designed to achieve heightened impact – as if the horror of burning alive wasn’t enough.
ISIS blames the fighter pilot for burning houses and killing babies with airstrikes before he was captured in December.
The manner of his death is a symbolic show of strength to strike terror into ‘non-believers’ and encourage doubters within their ranks.
The pictures are brutal, and I personally want nothing to do with watching the video. I’d recommend that those who utterly refuse to condemn the hardcore version of Islam that ISIS practices to take a gander, though. But, then, nothing else has seemed to change the minds of these Leftists. Not how the extremist view of Islam treats women. Not how they treat gays. Not how they stop free speech. Nothing.
Anyhow, of course there are those who complain that executing jihadist prisoners will bring more atrocities from ISIS. Newsflash: Islamists will carry out atrocities and attacks regardless.
Even Piers Morgan gets it: PIERS MORGAN: Watching ISIS burn a man alive was the most abominable thing I have ever seen – and any Muslim who won’t stand up to these barbarians must watch it too

What will it take to wake Leftists up? Interestingly, they’re more than willing to blame the entire Christian religion for the actions of a few, even though said actions are rarely done in the name of God. Yet, they seem to take the opinion that any condemnation of hardcore Islam, practiced in the name of Allah and Mohammed, is an unacceptable condemnation of all of Islam. No, it isn’t. What will it take to convince Leftists?

Again, each and every one of the terrorists should be burned at the stake, slowly. Kill them all. Murdering innocents to further a religious/political cause is the ultimate evil. Murdering innocents just to be killing is insane.
Again, the desire of these murderous thugs to set up a Saudi-like nation ruled under a bastard-child version of Islam does not prove that all Muslims are murderous thugs.
Conservative Christians dislike non-Christians. They use the acts of Muslim murderous thugs to further their crusade against Islam.
sick b*stard
Islam is doing enough crusading against itself, thank you.
Jordan executes terrorists.
Obama releases them.
“Islam is doing enough crusading against itself”
Good point. And they might have finally gone too far with Japan vowing revenge and Jordan vowing an “earth shaking” response, according to Reuters.
Thankfully, here in the US, we have Barry leading-from- behind Obama who had harsh words stating that: “And I think we will redouble [our] vigilance and determination….”
“Murdering innocents just to be killing is insane”. Bravo Jeffery an accurate statement from you that undermines your previous comments about the vast right wing terrorist trend that you insist exists in this country.
Unfortunately your sentence before has merit too. It’s the obstructionist Left that prevents the proper disposal of the Islamic terrorists.
Levo,
I said nothing of the kind, but if I had it is unrelated to my statement about murders motivated by crazy.
Perhaps your local community college has a remedial reading program.
Really?
Notice that Levothread wrote “..undermines your previous comments….” While you decried that Levothread could not read, there was nothing in his comment that said anything about a comment in THIS thread.
It doesn’t take long to find where you have said exactly what Levothread said you wrote in previous comments. For example, you wrote:
I can keep going, but the point is made. As usual, you want others to be accountable for what they write, but you refuse to be accountable for anything you say and lie about.
Maybe a community college is beyond your intellectual level. Try a GED course or an elementary school that can teach you to read.
So the proven liar gitarcarver returns after getting bitch-slapped around by Teach.
Did you read where I also said the right-wing terrorists were not much of a threat in the US?
Please crawl back into your hole and continue to recover from your stroke or your drug overdose or whatever it was that happened to you.
If you want I can keep giving examples of your writings where Levothread is right in his characterization of your comments.
Of course, you won’t own up to being wrong.
Oh, and if you want to attack me, at least I have the class not to say that my wife is delusional and someone who refuses to condemn killings of people.
You have no class and no ethics Jeffery.
