#IamMuath: ISIS Burns Pilot Alive; Rage And Sorrow In Jordan

0

When Lieutenant Muath al-Kasaesbeh’s tormentors burned him alive inside a cage, the killing was described as the most brutal in ISIS’ bloody history. Jordan responded rapidly, executing Sajida al-Rishawi, who was convicted after attempting a suicide bombing, and Ziad al-Karbouli, a top lieutenant of Al Qaeda in Iraq.

Jordanian army spokesman Colonel Mamdouh al-Ameri said in a televised statement that the army vowed “earth-shattering” response and “the revenge would be as big as the calamity that has hit Jordan”. He added, “The military forces announce that the hero pilot, Muath al-Kaseasbeh, has fallen as a martyr, and ask God to accept him with the martyrs”.

Jordan’s King Abdullah II condemned the burning of Jordan pilot by the Islamic State saying the ‘cowardly’ group does not represent Islam in any way. The king called on Jordanians to “stand together and show the mettle of the Jordanian people in unity, determination and resolve”.

Safi al-Kasaesbeh, father of murdered pilot, said the Jordanian government must destroy the Islamic State: “I demand that Islamic State should be wiped out, this is a murderous and despicable group. I demand that none of the criminals be spared. I demand that the vengeance be more severe than just the execution of two prisoners”.

#IamMuath slogan grew into a trending hashtag on Twitter with mourners taking to social media to vent their anger and sorrow:
