LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Following the public release of ISIS' execution video of the Jordanian pilot being burned to death, ISIS held a public viewing of the sickening 20-minute long footage in their de facto capital of Raqqa, Syria.
As the footage of Moath al-Kasasbeh trapped in his cage, engulfed in flames plays in the background on large projection screens, ISIS filmed the joyous reactions of the cheering audience full of men and young boys.

The crowd can be heard shouting the Takbir - Allahu Akbar.
ISIS used there newly filmed clips to construct another video titled, "Muslims' Joy at Burning of Jordanian Pilot." They are using Kasasbeh's death, that even al-Qaeda has condemned, for entertainment purposes. This video was a production, with highly detailed edits and background music.
Immediately following the release of Kasasbeh's execution video, Jordan made moves to speed up the execution process of their ISIS prisoners.
Keeping their promise, Jordan has executed two of their prisoners.
Sajida al-Rishawi, the ISIS requested prisoner in earlier release bargains, and Ziad Karbouli, a former top aide to the deceased leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, were the two executed.
"Those who doubted the atrocities committed by ISIS now have the proof," Jordanian government spokesman Mohammad al-Momani said on state TV. "Those who doubted Jordan's power will soon see the proof as well. (Al-Kasasbeh's) blood will not be shed in vain."
According to CNN, "Gen. Lloyd Austin, commander of U.S. Central Command, said he's been in touch with the head of Jordan's armed forces about what he called ISIS' 'savage murder.'"

"It, I think, will redouble the vigilance and determination on the part of a global coalition to make sure that they are degraded and ultimately defeated," President Barack Obama said to CNN. "It also just indicates the degree to which whatever ideology they're operating off of, it's bankrupt."
United States Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel agreed with Obama, "This horrific, savage killing is yet another example of ISIL's contempt for life itself," he said to CNN, using another common acronym for ISIS. "The United States and its military stand steadfast alongside our Jordanian friends and partners; Jordan remains a pillar of our global coalition to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL, and this act of despicable barbarity only strengthens our shared resolve."
