..to have burned Jordanian pilot alive in a cage. Not verified yet but just coming through on Sky News.
If this is true there are no depths they can sink to.

They're either very close to being the lowest of the low, or they are the lowest of the low.
If it weren't so tragic, it would almost border on absurd comedy the way they are seemingly so desperate to anger and shock that they are dreaming up ever more weird and wonderful ways to kill people.
If they were trying to get public opinion against them around the world they could hardly be doing a better job.
I hope air strikes against IS are stepped up as a result of this.
When we cease to be shocked at this type of cruelty it will be a sorry world.
They're blatantly goading everybody into all out war.
Subhuman scum >:(
Indeed
I don't think he meant the act wasn't shocking, more so the fact this is IS......there is no low with them.....so in that sense, burning someone alive isn't a shocking act from IS
One thing what ISIL aren't is 'retarded'. Please don't demonize people with learning difficulties etc.
It was done as an example to other Arab/Muslim states to show what they will do if caught.
A cogent analysis as ever, zx50. This forum would be all the poorer without your insight.
Would seem so. They're not after securing some borders and being left alone that's for sure.
Absolutely.
Edit: I see you've added another quote.
Exactly.
As Jon Nichol said a few months ago, the publicity and the outrage and attention they get for these atrocities is exactly what they're after.
I don't get it
Just get every country in the world to send in troops and wipe ISIS out
Probably. If something doesn't work, go to the next level.
What they want isn't "Everyone else vs IS" but a perceived scenario of "Everyone else vs Islam" which is the reason for the propaganda. i.e "Look brothers and sisters, look what the infidels do to Muslims. Rise up now!"
You'd need to be a pretty disturbed individual to even think of doing this stuff though. What normally adjusted human being would even consider doing the things they do?
Are we dealing with evil, insanity, or a combination of the two?
Look at what they are doing to Muslims though.
Then nuke it.
Burning alive a Jordanian pilot seems somewhat counter productive then.
(As well as being barbaric etc.)
