ISIS violated Islam’s teachings in more ways than one when it burned the Jordanian pilot
to death. Based on the Qur’an, the Hadith (the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad), and the consensus of
past and present day scholars, it is indisputably forbidden to burn, torture, or
mutilate human beings or their bodies, even during wartime. Prophet Muhammad is
quoted as saying that immolating is forbidden and that God alone has the authority
to punish by fire in the afterlife.
Additionally, assuming that ISIS considered the Jordanian pilot to be a prisoner of war, Islam has very strict rules against even mistreating prisoners of war, let alone killing them. Islam mandates that even convicted murderers or rapists who are sentenced to death must be protected from abuse and from cruel methods of execution.

Most importantly, this is not the only instance that
clearly shows that ISIS has a complete disregard for Islam’s teachings and
for human life. ISIS has proven without any doubt that it is not an Islamic organization. It is a
murderous terrorist cult who ideology and actions are so contradictory to Islam that it should not be even viewed through the prism of Islam. Muslims around the world have strongly rejected and condemned ISIS's barbaric actions.
