Fuck Muhammad!!!

But, I also read today that the jail these prisoners are being moved to is renowned in Jordan for carrying out executions. I wonder if it's sabre rattling, coincidence or if they are going to make good on that promise.

If they did, I would have thought it may be considered a war crime i.e. executing prisoners in custody, but I don't know enough about the intricacies of the Geneva Convention to pass firm comment on that. With ISIS not being a recognised State or Country, the GC may not even cover it for all I know.

I don't see how executing the prisoners will affect ISIS anyway; they don't give a fuck if they get them back or not. If they did, they wouldn't have murdered the pilot a month ago.

I'm not sure either, interesting point.

There is no declared war on IS, as far as I know. And, all of the prisoners were already tried for their crimes, convicted, and sentenced to death under Jordanian law. It's my understanding that Jordan is expediting the death sentences in retaliation for the murder of their fallen pilot.

I believe that Jordan will follow through and won't be in violation of the Geneva Convention. (If they don't, I think it will because they are pushed to hold off by coalition allies for various reasons.)

Then again, I didn't think Jordan would seriously entertain negotiating with IS to trade a convicted mass murderer for a hostage in the first place, and it appears they did just that. So, nothing will surprise me.
