[h=1]Barbarians Burn Pilot Alive: ISIS Will Never Release A Living Prisoner[/h]ISIS released a video showing a Jordanian pilot being burned alive—and the murder may have happened weeks before they tried to ransom him for a would-be suicide bomber.
The so-called Islamic State has released a video of a man, almost certainly Jordanian pilot Muadh al-Kasasbeh, being burned alive in a cage. Jordanian officials are saying that despite cynical efforts by the group widely known as ISIS to bargain for the man’s life in recent negotiations, he probably was killed as early as January 3. His F-16 had crashed and he was captured in ISIS-controlled territory in Syria on December 24.

The Jordanian government said Tuesday that ISIS burned alive captive pilot Muadh al Kasabeh, which was documented in a video released the same day. The video shows a trail of lit gasoline leading to Kasabeh’s cage, where he is engulfed in flames. Jordanian state TV claims Kasabeh was killed on Jan. 3, exactly one month ago.
Unlike the recent videos of the Japanese captives beheaded by ISIS, which were brief, hastily produced amalgams of a few still photographs and a recorded voice, this one has sophisticated animated effects, music, narration and an extended “confession” by the young first lieutenant in a studio setting. The production values alone lend credence to the idea he was killed long before ISIS offered to spare his life late last month in exchange for that of a failed female suicide bomber in Jordanian custody. That now appears to have been a bit of opportunism in the middle of the failed negotiations to ransom the Japanese.

That should be the way when dealing with terrorist..diplomacy or preaching wont work.

And now the justification for the despicable act by ISIS

ISIS Circulated PR Talking Points To Defend Burning Jordanian

When ISIS posted a video of the immolation of Jordanian pilot Muath al-Kaseasbeh, it already knew it would face a backlash in the Islamic world. The video of al-Kaseasbeh’s execution in a blaze of flame was circulated around 11:30 a.m. EST. Just 10 minutes later, a list of talking points for supporters—a sort of crisis management plan—was circulated, describing how to justify the latest execution under Islamic principles if questioned.


The forum post was entitled “Moaz Was Burnt Alive, Below Is the Islamic Justification for Such an Act.” The post purported to prepare its online defenders to answer questions that may arise from the video and the means of execution portrayed therein. The user who created it, a moderator on the Al-Platform forum, said: “People are going to ask themselves whether or not this is approved by religion. Some can claim that religion is not approving of burning people, and nor the Sharia or common sense.”


The post continues, “Most scholars think nowadays it is fine to burn the victim.” It tries to shrug off the fact that the Quran expressly prohibits the burning of captives.


No actual religious basis for the justification of the execution is provided. Instead, it focuses on the means to deflect arguments, saying: “This is what you should say if confronted about these actions.”


Later on, other forum members jump in with their own religious justifications, derived from Quranic script. Debate like this is relatively rare, but many supporters questioned the justification for the beheading of Peter Kassig, a U.S. captive who converted to Islam in captivity.
