The Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Iyad Ameen Madani, condemned the ugly crime committed by the terrorist group that calls itself ISIS by burning alive the Jordanian prisoner, pilot Mo'az Al-Kasasbah. This criminality utterly disregards the rights of prisoners Islam has decreed, as well as the human moral standards for war and treatment of prisoners, he said. The Secretary General expressed his deepest condolences to Al-Kasasbah family and to the Jordanian leadership, government, and people. It is profoundly saddening, Madani added, to see the depth of malaise parts of the Middle East Region has descended to, the intellectual decay, the political fragmentation and the abuse of Islam, the great religion of mercy and its great Prophet who said that his mission is above all a moral mission. The Secretary General added that the Secretariat of the OIC will call for an emergency meeting of its Executive Committee, composed of the troika of the Summit, the troika of the Council of Foreign Ministers and the host country, to cement the OIC's position and action to curb terrorism, extremism and hate speech and to dismantle the contexts that breeds, lead to and exploit them. The Secretariat will also call for an urgent meeting for the OIC’s International Islamic Fiqh Academy to further outline Muslim jurisdiction towards this phenomena, Madani said.
