To elaborate, for the myopic such as yourself and whoever gave you a star...
I'm suspicious and assuming they get a lot of help from people who are not stuck in a battle or in the desert...
Probably with a hell of a lot of money...
Your Islamobobia is clear.

The video also feature an Arabic Song in Auto-Tune. AUTO-TUNE?
Why would radical Islamist's use auto-tune to jazz up what should be an overlaying religious prayer song?
Wouldn't they consider auto-tune to be coming from the Great Satan?
Not suggesting that the execution is fake, but who is behind this Hollywood style production?
There is a misconception that the kingdom does not get in the way of private Saudi financing of terrorist groups operating in Syria, including ISIS. Yet one of Riyadh's most observable counter-terrorism financing activities is its monitoring of the country's formal financial sector in order to block suspect donations. Indeed, social media fundraising campaigns highlight the challenges of sending such funds from Saudi Arabia to Syria. To ensure that their contributions actually reach Syria, Saudi donors are encouraged to send their money to Kuwait, long considered one of the most permissive terrorism financing environments in the Persian Gulf.
Riyadh's concern about blowback -- namely, the belief that allowing citizens to support terrorist groups hostile to the al-Saud monarchy will eventually spawn attacks on Saudi soil -- helps drive the kingdom's counterterrorism approach. In the mid-2000s, the country suffered a series of dramatic al-Qaeda attacks linked to Saudis returning home from the jihad in Afghanistan, and that experience was important in shaping the current mindset. As mentioned above, Riyadh formally outlawed private donations to ISIS and other groups when it designated them as terrorist organizations in March. That move may have been connected to increasing government concern about Saudi membership in foreign terrorist groups, and may have coincided with the investigation of the domestic ISIS-linked cell announced in May.
Today, Saudi citizens continue to represent a significant funding source for Sunni groups operating in Syria. Arab Gulf donors as a whole -- of which Saudis are believed to be the most charitable -- have funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to Syria in recent years, including to ISIS and other groups. There is support for ISIS in Saudi Arabia, and the group directly targets Saudis with fundraising campaigns, so Riyadh could do much more to limit private funding. U.S. officials have hinted that a combination of politics, logistics, and limited capabilities have impeded more effective Saudi efforts to counter terrorism financing. One particularly difficult problem is how to monitor cash transfers, a method common among Saudi donors.

ISIS is without a doubt funded in part by the US government in hopes to destabilize Syria. I have no doubt this is true. While I firmly believe this, I don't think that arrangement has anything to do with this execution, other than secondary culpability and I'm not saying that it makes it any less heinous.

Finally, Im wondering why nobody is questioning the production of the video in this thread.

Is there actually an uncensored video showing this execution? I ask because, in my opinion, the IS beheading videos are censored because they are fake.
Yes. So far as I know, only FOX news website had the guts to post it. Here's the link...

It's 23 minutes long. The murder of this brave Jordanian starts at about the 18 minute mark. I say "brave" because he endured what must have been the worse pain imaginable, much better than I would have. When that fire trail started burning towards me, I would have climbed to the top of the cage and held on. The terrorists would have to shoot me down. Maybe they drugged him first?

Shoot I shouldn't have watched that.
I don't think it was fake. I think they got a GoPro and some video editing software and they clearly are more tech savvy than organizations in the past. My GoPro has insanely good quality for what it is and Hollywood/TV shows etc. are using them all the time. Editing in other video, sound and text isn't hard. YouTube will let you do pretty much everything in that video.
Nothing about that video seemed fake, though I admit after a few seconds of charred corpse I skipped.
The only thing that seemed fake to me was the cage. Seems rather elaborate when they were just going to crush it and could have chained the guy to something else.
I'm also fairly certain with that amount of flame even a professional stuntman is going to need to protect his face and possibly have an air supply.

I just finished watching it from start to finish, all 22 minutes. Most of the first part is arabic language talking from the downed pilot, in his orange jumpsuit. Not understandable to me, I surmise that he was talking about planes and positions and weapons, talking fast like he was very scared. His face was beat a little and his mouth had been hit, his lip was busted. He and his jumpsuit were in front of a completely black background.
Then it showed some production-quality psycho-warfare, of supposedly civilian victims and being shot or burned and killed and injured. This wove into the gruesome scene itself, which was beyond words. This video wasn't made with movie-maker or some cheap software. It was meant to be a psy-warfare, psychological....the music is eerie, the scene is graphic, very disturbing. Isis just upped the ante by A LOT. Not to be compared to the beheading videos, this was more of a production made while showing a disturbing, graphic, obscene event.
I wonder what is going on here. This is similar to Jihad Johnny or whatever you call him, on steroids x 10.
You can read about it, and for most that is enough. The video is very disturbing on multiple levels. For some reason faux neus is showing it in full.
I'm typing this 5 minutes after I watched it, and once was enough.
We need to go kill these Isis bastards the same way. Let them all burn on their way to hell.
This is a message to the Muslims countries who fight ISIS.. their deaths will be worse, more gruesome and more brutal than any of the other countries people, and it will be in retribution for ISIS people who got dead in Syria and Iraq, since these Muslim countries (10 of them) have joined the coalition to fight against ISIS..
(the burned bodies ect they showed were from a Syrian battle)
that is what the pilot was talking about, who is in the coalition from the arab countries and their plans on fighting ISIS basically..
This is a huge threat to Muslims.. ISIS is saying to Muslim countries "stay out or you will face the worst of all.."

Don't they believe that 1000 virgins will be waiting for them? I say execute whomever means the most to them in life (if anyone) and make them watch. If it's Mom or Dad, so be it. Got to show that we have the resources and the will to be even crazier than they are, and ISIS will (hopefully) leave other cultures alone.
Global thugs and haters never affront the Soviet Union/Russia, because they know the pay-back will be unspeakably harsh and brutal.
