In continuation of its public screenings of the Jordanian pilot's execution video in areas under its control,[1] the Islamic State in Al-Khayr (Deir Al-Zour) province released today another video showing a public display of the pilot's video, and local Muslims' response to it.  

Similar to the previous videos in the series, the interviewees express satisfaction at the fate of Mu'adh Al-Kasasbeh, the captured Jordanian pilot burned by ISIS. One viewer says that ISIS's video satisfied Muslims' anger and calls the pilot a Crusader and a dog of Iran and the Jews. The speaker further expresses his discontent at the public outcry following the pilot's execution, which he says is absent when entire families are killed by bombs dropped by coalition pilots. "Or is it because he [i.e. Al-Kasasbeh] is an agent pilot for the Crusaders that now he became of value and importance?" the man asks. The man also hopes for other Crusader pilots to be captured by ISIS and receive their "just" punishment.

A second speaker expresses similar dissatisfaction with the public outcry over Al-Kasasbeh's death, and asks why nobody is crying for the Palestinians in Gaza, or the Syrians or Iraqis.

A third speaker thanks ISIS for killing the pilot, whom he accuses of "collaborating with the Jews and Christians in killing Muslims." He also notes that burning the pilot was inadequate because, he says, the pilot committed massacres in Al-Raqqa and killed many children.  

A fourth viewer notes that any other pilots captured by ISIS will face a similar fate to that of Al-Kasasbeh's. Apparently addressing the Jordanian government, the man challenges it to "send more of your children, [for] there are lots of cages [like that which Al-Kasasbeh was held and executed in]."

The video is 4:13 in duration, and was released on Twitter.com/Yde2015123.
