Horrific act: The Islamic State group earns the world’s hatred February 5, 2015 12:00 AM By the Editorial Board The latest brutal execution by the Islamic State group, of Jordanian pilot Muath al-Kaseasbeh, may be hardening Middle East perceptions of the organization. The Islamic extremists profess to be creating for Sunni Muslims a religious-based caliphate in parts of Iraq and Syria. Based on that, the group had gained some support among Sunnis in a number of states, including Jordan, which estimates 1,500 Islamic State group adherents among its people. The group is also still gaining territory, in spite of its recent loss of Kobani in Syria, which was a triumph for Kurdish ground forces backed by U.S. air support. Yet the Islamic State group continues to murder foreigners in heinous fashion. Its last three executions — of Lt. Kaseasbeh and two Japanese, Haruna Yukawa and journalist Kenji Goto — have reminded the world of the disgusting, sadistic and duplicitous ways of the group. It burned Lt. Kaseasbeh alive and beheaded Mr. Yukawa and Mr. Goto, displaying its inhuman acts in public videos. It also showed bad faith toward Jordan by offering to swap the pilot for a prisoner held by the Jordanians — after the pilot was already dead. The reactions of Japan and Jordan were strong. The prime minister of Japan, with its post-World War II tradition of nonmilitarism, is talking about a new constitution that would permit a more robust Japanese military role. Jordan, now led by King Abdullah II, took revenge by hanging two convicted Iraqis, one who was a senior al-Qaida prisoner and the other, Sajida al-Rishawi, who had taken part in a suicide bomb attack. Until Jordanians learned that Lt. Kaseasbeh was dead, and how he died, there had been some thought in their country that it had no place in the coalition against the Islamic State group. Not anymore. Al-Qaida may have been eclipsed by the Islamic State group, but the latter may be destroying itself through its own savage behavior. post-gazette.com
