Call them ISIS. Call them ISIL. Call them Islamic State. Whatever their name, you can call them unadulterated, pure barbaric evil. We have to be thankful and commend those brave individuals willing to look these odious monsters in the eye and say, “Enough of this shit.”
Ahmed Ramadan, an 18-year-old college student, was captured by ISIS. He was accused of infiltrating the organization and spying for the Iraqi government. As punishment he was one of eight men executed by ISIS in January. ISIS released photographs and a video of the execution which enraged many, but none more than Ahmed’s father.
Basil Ramadan, said to be in his 60’s, went to avenge his son’s tragic murder by taking on ISIS by himself. The mourning father grabbed his AK-47 and went to an ISIS checkpoint in Tikrit, a city northwest of Baghdad currently under ISIS control. The courageous Iraqi man opened fire on ISIS militants and killed seven of them. Sadly, the brave vigilante was killed before he could inflict any more damage to the terrorist organization.
It’s not only Basil Ramadan who is getting real tired of ISIS and their bloodthirsty assault of the Middle East. On Tuesday, ISIS released a video that was despicable even by their nefarious standards. The over 20-minute, multi-camera footage with movie-like graphics shows captured Jordanian fighter pilot Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh murdered by militants of ISIS by being burned alive as he stands helpless in a cage. The video ends with a plow burying the immolated prisoner and cage in rubble.
Jordanian TV said the pilot was killed as early as Jan. 3. Despite the pilot being assassinated a month ago, ISIS was falsely negotiating a prisoner exchange of the deceased Muath al-Kaseasbeh (Who Jordanian officials were told was still alive) for female suicide bomber Sajida al-Rishawi. Jordan exacted their swift and lethal revenge by executed two al-Qaida prisoners by hanging early Wednesday morning.
