Reports: Jordan To Execute Extremist After Pilot Burned Alive
WASHINGTON — Hours after the Islamic State released a video Tuesday showing a Jordanian pilot being burned alive, multiple news outlets reported Jordan planned to execute a woman the militants had wanted freed.
Jordan's government had been trying to secure the pilot's release, agreeing last week to free Sajida al-Rishawi, an Iraqi woman facing execution for her role in the 2005 hotel bombings in Jordan. However, the deal fell through after Jordan requested proof the pilot, Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh, was alive.
Reuters and AFP, citing unnamed sources, said al-Rishawi would be executed at dawn Wednesday in Jordan.
The video, which could not be independently verified, was released by the Islamic State's media arm, according to the IntelCenter, which monitors extremist websites. However, Jordanian TV reported that the burning of the pilot, , actually took place Jan. 3.

19. This is horrendous
As the English did to heretics, and the European witch trials, and the Spanish....etc, etc, etc.. ISIS is no different then the barbaric acts of distant times. ISIS is distant times. They may use modern guns and bombs, but their thought processes are from distant history.

16. Sometime I'll post a chronology of why and how this brutally extreme "terrorism" came about....
.....going back to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and a young Osama bin Laden.
But, in all honesty, you're not too far off. The thing is that this has been festering for 25+ years.
Osama bin Laden was actually an ally of the US (such as he could be) during the Soviet war/occupation, and was still not an enemy of the US until the 1991 Gulf War. President Bush was warned over and over again to NOT station American troops on sacred land in Saudi Arabia. He ignored the warnings.
See the article linked below:
http://teacher.scholastic.com/scholasticnews/indepth/upfront/features/index.asp?article=f121310_gulfwar
The war that first introduced Americans to Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein—and may have given Osama bin Laden a reason to attack the United States—began on Jan. 17, 1991.
American and coalition forces, responding to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, bombed Iraqi targets and troops for a month. By the time the ground war began on Feb. 24, Saddam Hussein's forces were so decimated that it took just 100 hours to oust them from Kuwait and trounce the remnants of Iraq's once-mighty military.
The Persian Gulf War, fought 20 years ago next month, turned out to be one of the swiftest wars in U.S. history.
But its effects still linger: Because Saddam Hussein remained in power, the Gulf War is now seen as a prelude to the second Iraq War, which began in 2003—and is still winding down more than seven years later.
The Gulf War also set the stage for the current war in Afghanistan and America's broader battle against Islamic terrorism: The presence of "infidel" U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia during the 1990s helped radicalize Osama bin Laden and the other leaders of Al Qaeda, who vowed to target America at home and abroad.

DUmmie George DUche has it wrong.
Americans KNEW about Sodamn Insane Hussein back in the '80s, when Iran and Iraq were dicing and slicing each other up over what ended as a stalemate, 8 years and 1,000,000 lives later.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, if the DUmbasses want to be true to form: IT'S ALL REAGAN'S FAULT!!!!
These ragheads have been carrying on like this forEVER! Let them kill each other all they want. Less for us to have to kill later on.

It's been going on since . . . the 7th Century, when 'the prophet' walked on the Earth.

The DUmmies' worshipful insistence that the modern Democrat Party is based upon Jeffersonian ideals ignores his response to the Muslim Berber pirates in north Africa that targeted American interests.
Maybe it's his anti-Christian beliefs they enjoy so much.

9. "An eye for an eye and the whole world is blind".
No, just one eyed.
If the lib mahannah took the trouble to learn the origin of the phrase he/she/it would find that it is not a law of retribution.
It is a law of justice.

You know, I get really tired of all this crap about certain "enlightened" historical personages being atheists, when in fact they weren't.
On the 50th anniversary of the death of Albert Einstein back in 2006, National Public Radio had a program featuring interviews with some who'd been students of his (I read the transcript).
Albert Einstein, ostensibly the smartest human being who ever existed, so naturally the left claims he was an atheist; didn't believe in silly notions such as God.
All those interviewed, to a man (they were all male students and graduate assistants, and pretty old by 2006), agreed that Albert Einstein in fact acknowledged God, and publicly so, many times. They'd seen and heard it, with their own eyes and ears.
One supposes that because he was a non-observant Jew, the God-haters stretched this into that he was an atheist, and did a pretty good job of it.

Ah, but the difference is, Einstein didn't think he was God.

And then consummated a marriage with a pre-pubescent girl.
Praise Allah.

Of his unified field theory Einstein said "God doesn't play dice with the universe".

The Persian Gulf was reasonably stable before Jimmuh Cahtuh thought it would be a great idea to sell out the Shah and let religious fanatics to whom life meant nothing take over Iran, DUmmtards.
