The King of Jordan made the boldest statement yet from a world leader when he said that his country would “completely wipe out ISIS.”
Jordan’s interior minister Hussein al-Majali said his nation’s forces would go after ISIS “wherever they are” and “eliminate them and wipe them out completely.”
The move comes after ISIS burned alive a Jordanian pilot shot down over Syria.
King Abdullah said that Jordan would fight “to the last bullet, the last plane, the last missile.”
The move by Jordan has spurred the United Arab Emirates to enter back into the airstrike coalition. The UAE had suspended their attacks after the capture of the pilot in an attempt to get ISIS to release him.
The Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi told the UAE’s official news agency “deep belief in the need for Arab collective cooperation to eliminate terrorism, through actions and words, and bolster the security, stability and moderation of the nation through the collective encountering of these terrorist gangs and their misleading ideology and brutal practices” was the reason for the resumption of air strikes.
The brutal murder of a Jordanian pilot by Islamic extremist group ISIS has drawn an unusually sharp response from Jordan’s King Abdullah.
King Abdullah told security chiefs that the pilot’s death would not “be in vain” and that Jordan would strike quickly and harshly on the terrorists.
“The blood of martyr Moaz al-Kasasbeh will not be in vain and the response of Jordan and its army after what happened to our dear son will be severe,” King Abdullah reportedly said. “This evil can and should be defeated.”
The King cut short a visit to the United States after the posting of the video to return home to deal with the fallout of the murder.
Jordan immediately executed two ISIS terrorists held after a failed bombing.
The family of the slain pilot spoke with the King and with Jordan military officials and asked them to completely eliminate ISIS.
Islamic extremist group ISIS has killed a Jordanian pilot captured over Syria by burning him alive inside a cage.
The video posted online shows Lt. Moaz al-Kasasbeh inside a steel cage. He tries to cover his head before falling to his knees and being burned to ash. The 22 minute video shows the terrorists parading the captured man through the streets before the brutal killing.
Jordanian state television confirmed the man in the video is Lt. al-Kasasbeh and that the death happened a month ago. The terrorists had been sitting on the video while negotiating with the Jordanian government for millions of dollars for the pilot’s release.
President Obama told reporters that the video gives “one more indication” of the hate that comes from the terrorist group.
“I think it will redouble the vigilance and determination of the part of the global coalition to make sure they are degraded and ultimately defeated,” he added.
Public officials in Jordan say that the public is calling for the government to execute ISIS terrorists currently held in jails.
The royal family of Saudi Arabia is taking pro-active steps to fight the Islamic terrorist group ISIS by building a 600-mile long wall to block the Iraq/Saudi border.
The fence will run from Jordan to Kuwait. The fencing system will five layers of barbed wire fencing, a ditch, a patrol road, underground motion sensors, 40 watchtowers, radar, day/night cameras and rapid intervention teams.
The entire system will also be connected through a fiber-optic network.
The royal family had first thought about a wall in 2006 during the U.S. invasion of Iraq but put the plan in motion after ISIS tried to sneak into the country through the border town of Arar.
The Saudi military has already sent 30,000 additional troops to the border to secure it.
ISIS top leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has called on Sunnis within Saudi Arabia to being terrorist attacks on the royal family.
An activist group inside Syria has reported the terrorist group ISIS brought 13 teenage boys into the middle of a Raqqa street and slaughtered them for watching a soccer match between Iraq and Jordan.
The boys were killed because the terrorists said their watching the match “broke Islamic principles.”
“The bodies remained lying in the open and their parents were unable to withdraw them for fear of murder by terrorist organization,” the group, Syria Being Slaughtered Silently, wrote on their website.
The murders come two days after the group released a video showing them throwing two men off the top of a tower in Mosul. The video shows a terrorist saying the two men violated Islamic law.
The group which released the information about the murders had published videos showing women taken from western countries being forced into internet cafes to call their families and tell them how much they love it under ISIS’ Caliphate.
The open hatred of Israel in the middle east is rising to new levels in the wake of their defending themselves against Hamas terrorist attacks.
Zoher Al-Azzeh, a prominent television host on Jordan’s 7 Stars TV, called for the U.S. Embassy in Jordan to be shut down saying it was a spy outpost for Israel. Then he aired footage of the Israeli offensive against Hamas intercut with pictures he claimed were children hurt in the offensive.
Then he pulled out an Israeli flag and set it on fire.
“For the sake of Palestine and its children, allow me to burn this filthy flag of the Zionist entity for the whole world to see,” Al-Azzah said. “The world should know that the Zionists are our enemies. They are criminal murderers and we must fight them. We must demand that all Arab peoples expel them from their countries, starting with Jordan.”
No other host on Jordanian TV challenged the openly anti-Semitic actions and comments of Al-Azzah.

The plot reportedly has been in the planning stages since June where al-Qaeda operatives trained the men to create homemade explosives. Continue reading →
Activists are reporting that the Syrian army has attacked a town that has been a major crossing into Jordan for civilians that are fleeing the country’s civil war. At least 20 government tanks have rolled into Tal Shehab, a Free Syrian Army held town.
The move by the government comes amid reports from Jordan that over 183,000 civilians have entered the country since the start of the war. The Jordanian government reports that as many as 1,000 refugees are daily crossing the border. Continue reading →
