ISIS is in damage control mode over burning of Jordanian pilot
February 05, 2015 03:12
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 am 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."
