BEIRUT (Reuters) - An Islamic State cleric who objected to the group's decision to burn to death a captive Jordanian pilot has been removed from his post and will be put on trial, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Friday.

The cleric, a Saudi national, had voiced his objections during a meeting of an Islamic State clerical body in the town of al-Bab in Aleppo province, said Rami Abdulrahman, who runs the Observatory.

What do you want to bet he 'confesses' at his trial?

Daesh claim that American hostage Kayla Mueller was killed in Jordanian raid on Raqqa.

If true, Rest in Peace young lady and condolences to her family and friends.

Time for ar-Raqqa to disappear from the map. imo.

For a collection of savages who love to post videos of their depravity where are the videos of her remains? They probably murdered her long ago bu saw a chance to blame it on Jordan.

Probably time to park a cruise missile ship in the Mediterranean, or a Trident sub.

The Fiery Cage and the Lynching Tree

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/ite...never-far-away

Quote:
They burned him alive in an iron cage, and as he screamed and writhed in the agony of hell they made a sport of his death.

After listening to one newscast after another rightly condemn the barbaric killing of that Jordanian air force pilot at the bloody hands of ISIS, I couldn’t sleep. My mind kept roaming the past trying to retrieve a vaguely remembered photograph that I had seen long ago in the archives of a college library in Texas.

Suddenly, around two in the morning, the image materialized in my head. I made my way down the hall to my computer and typed in: “Waco, Texas. Lynching.”

Sure enough, there it was: the charred corpse of a young black man, tied to a blistered tree in the heart of the Texas Bible Belt. Next to the burned body, young white men can be seen smiling and grinning, seemingly jubilant at their front-row seats in a carnival of death. One of them sent a picture postcard home: “This is the barbeque we had last night. My picture is to the left with a cross over it. Your son, Joe.”

The victim’s name was Jesse Washington. The year was 1916. America would soon go to war in Europe “to make the world safe for democracy.” My father was twelve, my mother eight. I was born 18 years later, at a time, I would come to learn, when local white folks still talked about Washington’s execution as if it were only yesterday. This was not medieval Europe. Not the Inquisition. Not a heretic burned at the stake by some ecclesiastical authority in the Old World. This was Texas, and the white people in that photograph were farmers, laborers, shopkeepers, some of them respectable congregants from local churches in and around the growing town of Waco.

Below is the photograph. Take a good look at Jesse Washington’s stiffened body tied to the tree. He had been sentenced to death for the murder of a white woman. No witnesses saw the crime; he allegedly confessed but the truth of the allegations would never be tested. The grand jury took just four minutes to return a guilty verdict, but there was no appeal, no review, no prison time. Instead, a courtroom mob dragged him outside, pinned him to the ground, and cut off his testicles. A bonfire was quickly built and lit. For two hours, Jesse Washington — alive — was raised and lowered over the flames. Again and again and again. City officials and police stood by, approvingly. According to some estimates, the crowd grew to as many as 15,000. There were taunts, cheers and laughter. Reporters described hearing “shouts of delight.”

When the flames died away, Washington’s body was torn apart and the pieces were sold as souvenirs. The party was over.

Still a lot of racism going on in these here parts and all across our great land.

Hey Merrylander, if there had been a Nigerian Air Force with the ability to do it, should they have obliterated Waco Texas in 1916?

DQ stop with phoney attempts at parallels, the Branch Davidians were fruit cakes but hardly anything approaching the evil that is IS.

I will give you a parallel - if I find termites in my house's main beams should simply ignore them or call the Orkin Man.

ISIL was responsible for Kayla's death because she would not have been in harm's way had they not kidnapped her. She went to that Godforsaken hole to help and this was her reward.
