Burning alive of Jordanian pilot un-Islamic: Cleric
2015-02-05
[NATION.PK] Moslem holy mans widely condemned the burning to death of a Jordanian pilot by Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
, saying such a form of killing was considered despicable by Islam, no matter the context.

Islamic State snuffies released a video on Tuesday appearing to show captured pilot Mouath al-Kasaesbeh being burnt alive in a cage. Jordan, which has participated in a U.S.-led military campaign to bomb Islamic State positions, responded overnight by executing two al Qaeda convicts on death row.

#5  The Islamic punishment for murder seems to be governed by:

" It is permissible to slay the murderer the same way he slew his victim(s),"

The judgement is that burning and burying in rubble is the same as the pilot caused to the people bombed.

#4  It is rejected whether it falls on an individual or a group or a people. Only God tortures by fire.

Religion of Peace...yeah right.

#3  Have heard lots of Islamics who say it IS Islamic according to some Koranimal interpretation that is basically eye for an eye.

#2  But he kept his mouth shut when the ISIS people were crucifying Christians or raping Djezidi woman so my guess is that he didn't consider it unislamic.

#1  And yet, at the same time, unsurprisingly Islamic.
