For all but clusters of ideologically twisted jihad-groupies worldwide, the burning alive of Lieutenant Muath al-Kasaesbeh, the Jordanian pilot captured in December, proves the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has depths of depravity that are fathomless. But what matters most now is how local, Sunni and tribal reaction towards this self-appointed Islamist Inquisition evolves. Could this be the beginning of Isis over-reach, on the path to self-destruction?
对于世界各地除了圣战追随者群体以外的所有人来说,活活烧死去年12月被俘获的约旦中尉飞行员穆阿特•卡萨斯巴(Muath al-Kasaesbeh)的行为,证明了“伊拉克与黎凡特伊斯兰国”(Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, 简称Isis)令人匪夷所思的堕落程度。但是,现在最重要的是,当地、逊尼派以及各部落对这个自封的“伊斯兰主义宗教法庭”(Islamist Inquisition)的反应将如何演变。这件事会不会标志着Isis动用血腥手段过了头,开始走上自毁道路?
