Recently, Jordanian suicide bomber Moath al- Kasasbeh crashed his aircraft in Syria while on a mission to bomb Syria.  After the crash landing, al-Kasasbeh was captured and burned to death by  the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS). 

Jordanian student Sultan Abuhasheesh currently has family in Jordan and continues  to keep in touch with them almost weekly.  Abuhasheesh was born in Jordan, then moved to the United States when he was young. 

Due to the recent tragedy  in Jordan, Abuhasheesh feels that ISIS could have handled the situation differently by punishing him in a different way. 

“”No one expected it but everyone thought it was a really brutal thing to do,”” Abuhasheesh said.

Like most citizens of Jordan, Abuhasheesh is worried that his country may get into war with another country and probably even ISIS. 

Abuhasheesh is really proud of the way Jordan came together to defend a member of his country.  The Jordanian is on the side of his people while the burning terror had occurred.  While, everyone is sticking together, ISIS will continue to create these acts of terror, unless something is done. 

“”I think Jordan handled the situation really well by having everyone nationally stick together and really try to defend the pilot,”” Abuhasheesh said. 

Although this terror has occurred, Abuhasheesh still hopes to travel to Jordan with his family soon.  “

“My favorite thing’s to do in Jordan are being able to see my family and eating the authentic Arabic food,”” Abuhasheesh said.

Jordan is slow recovery after the burning of their Air Force pilot.  ISIS seemed to have commited this terror to warn other countries not to go against them, but to join them.
