The Hideous Fantasies of ISIS: Where are the Muslim Defenders of the Jordanian Pilot?

I’m not a fan of Eminem, but after reading the following ghastly news my brain started echoing the chorus of “Slim Shady,” only with these words:

Will the moderate Muslim leaders please stand up, please stand up? 

Other than Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, so-called “moderate” Muslim leaders tend to keep a pretty low profile when news of ISIS beheading humanitarian workers and torturing Mideast Christians become public.

Now the ISIS fighters have captured a Jordanian pilot whose plane came down over Syria a few days ago, and the denizens of that damnable group have turned to social media to discuss what sort of tortuous death to inflict upon Lt. Moaz al-Kasasba.

Lieutenant al-Kasasba is a Muslim. His father appealed to ISIS as a fellow Muslim, pleading, “May Allah plant mercy in your hearts and may you release my son.” His brother, speaking at CNN Arabic, implored ISIS to “be supportive of our brother Moaz and please send him back to us,” adding that Moaz is a “pious man who prays and fasts and he always flies with his Koran beside him.”
