Gotta love it when the extremists start fighting themselves... Imagine if President Obama said "you killed an American prisoner!? Give me three guys from gitmo stat!"
Who's the guy who said I laugh so I will not weep... yeah that...
The executions at dawn Wednesday came just hours after Islamic State militants released a video that purportedly showed the captured Jordanian fighter pilot being burned alive in a cage.
Jordan vowed a swift and lethal response. Hours later, government spokesman Mohammed al-Momani said that two prisoners, Sajida al-Rishawi and Ziad al-Karbouli, were executed early Wednesday.

They were already tried and convicted. It's not like Jordan decided their sentence today, the just speeded it up a little.

because if ever actions were designed to infuriate and create hatred, Isis is doing it.
I think they're doing it to get people pissed at all Muslims, which will in turn help them recruit if Muslims are treated poorly.

Why not just let them rot in a tiny cell for 20 years, then carry out the death penalty. This execution plays into their 72 Virgins twisted beliefs.
Does the Quran really promise Islamic martyrs 72 virgins?
The simple answer is NO! There is no promise of 72 virgins for martyrs, terrorists or suicide bombers anywhere in the Quran.
The section many people claim promises this is Chapter (78) sūrat l-naba (The Great News). The controversy is due to the poor translation of ONE verse from verses 29 to 34.
The translation by Moshin
And all things We have recorded in a Book. (29)
So taste you (the results of your evil actions); No increase shall We give you, except in torment. (30)
Verily, for the Muttaqûn[], there will be a success (Paradise); (31)
Gardens and vineyards, (32)
And young full-breasted (mature) maidens of equal age, (33)
And a full cup (of wine). (34)
The translation by Yusuf Ali
And all things have We preserved on record. (29)
"So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment." (30)
Verily for the righteous there will be a fulfilment of (the Heart's) desires; (31)
Gardens enclosed, and Grape-vines; (32)
Companions of Equal Age; (33)
And a Cup full (to the Brim). (34)
We see from these 2 translations that the verse that causes all the problems is verse 33.
33
The word for word translation of this verse is,
arbic wakawāʿiba = And splendid companions CONJ – prefixed conjunction wa (and)
N – accusative feminine plural noun
arbic atrāban = well-matched, ADJ – accusative feminine plural indefinite adjective
So how can some translators get it so wrong! Well the answer is simple. Many translators of the Quran from Arabic to other languages have used the Hadith and other sources to help in completing the translations. You therefore find many translations that use stories from the Hadith to elaborate the actual Quran translations. This is clearly the case with this verse in Mohsins and many other English and other language translations.
It is therefore essential to check any controversial verse translation such as this with a true word for word translation of the actual Arabic Quran. It is clear from the true word for word translation of this verse that no such promise of 72 or even 1 virgin exists in the Quran.
