In a February 4, 2015 interview on the Lebanese Mayadeen TV, Muhammad Ahmad Al-Rousan, a member of the political bureau of the Jordanian Popular Movement, wept at the "heinous crime" of the immolation of the Jordanian pilot and called to kidnap the wives and children of ISIS members.
Following are excerpts:
Muhammad Ahamd Al-Rousan: Even before the crime committed against our martyr Moaz [Al-Kasasbeh], another heinous crime was committed in Arab-Islamic history – the killing of [8th-centuary poet] Ibn Al-Muqaffa'. Ibn Al-Muqaffa' was killed by his rivals. His limbs were chopped off and grilled before his very eyes, and he was forced to eat them.

It was so horrible that I vomited twice, but I forced myself to watch it.

Interviewer: I think that you got the wrong information. The incident you are talking about happened in a completely different way. The [kidnappers] were threatened that they would face an internal war, and that is why they reconsidered the kidnapping.
