The brutal murder of a Jordanian pilot by Islamic extremist group ISIS has drawn an unusually sharp response from Jordan’s King Abdullah.
King Abdullah told security chiefs that the pilot’s death would not “be in vain” and that Jordan would strike quickly and harshly on the terrorists.
“The blood of martyr Moaz al-Kasasbeh will not be in vain and the response of Jordan and its army after what happened to our dear son will be severe,” King Abdullah reportedly said. “This evil can and should be defeated.”
The King cut short a visit to the United States after the posting of the video to return home to deal with the fallout of the murder.
Jordan immediately executed two ISIS terrorists held after a failed bombing.
The family of the slain pilot spoke with the King and with Jordan military officials and asked them to completely eliminate ISIS.
Islamic terrorist groups are taking to the web in an attempt to win the hearts and minds of the younger generations.
A report shows that Islamic terrorist groups are sending out at least 90 messages on Twitter every minute.
The study by the Saudi Arabian based Sakina shows that terror groups like Syrian Islamic Liberation Front, Al-Nusra Front and ISIS are not only sending out messages to promote their view of Islam but also recruiting potential terrorist fighters.
The head of the group says that governments need to watch social media to control the messages being sent to youth. But he also said that the public has a responsibility as well.
“The responsibility of protecting the general public from terrorist activities does not only lie with the official directorates. It is also the responsibility of the media, mosques and educational institutes,” Abdulmunim Al-Mushawah said. “Public awareness and guidance are the campaign’s top priorities because it is important to teach people how to face one problem without creating another.”
The prophetic word that was written by David Wilkerson in his 1985 book, Set the Trumpet to Thy Mouth, had already come to pass in stunning accuracy in the oil fields of the Middle East. And now, from the grave, David Wilkerson’s next prophecy was confirming what God had shown John Shorey when he wrote about the Five End-Time Wars.
David had written, “The enemy will make its move when we are weak and helpless.”
John continued, “America has a future invasion, which I had just covered as the Five End-Time Wars. And when that was first given to me through the writing of my second book, and I sent this outline of the Five End-Time Wars to Jim, I looked at it as information for his benefit. I never thought we would talk about it, because can we handle the fact that America would be part of an end-time war, and that an invasion would happen in America before the rapture?

Russian leaders told foreign press Monday that Chinese leaders are largely in agreement with the Russian invasion of part of Ukraine.
Russian troops have now surrounded military bases in Crimea and are preventing Ukrainian soldiers from being able to move anywhere within that area as Russian forces reinforce their positions.

British Foreign Secretary William Hague told Sky News that we’re in the midst of the most serious crisis that Europe has faced in the 21st century. The news of the invasion and the possibility of impending war have created a major impact on world markets, with Russia’s stock market down 10 percent.

North Korea has declared a “state of war” with South Korea in their latest round of rhetoric.
Few are taking the declaration seriously as North Korea has been threatening South Korea in some form since a nuclear test in February. Technically the war between the nations has never ended because the armistice in 1953 was never turned into a peace treaty. Continue reading →
North Korea said on Saturday it was entering a “state of war” with South Korea, but Seoul and its ally the United States played down the statement as tough talk.
