Yes,And Your Little Dog Too!

I wonder if the Jordian pilot was Circassian? I hadn't really considered the poking the bear aspect of this, but ISIS might have picked the wrong fight.

:confused: Is that a Lawrence of Arabia joke? Circassians come from the Caucasus, far away from Jordan.

You are an absolute dumbass with no idea about history.

See if rational wikki knows anything about Circassians in Turkey and Jordan and why they are there.

ETA: What do you know? Rationalwiki knows as much about it as you do.

Regular old, generic (irrational?) wiki says:

The Circassian diaspora refers to the resettlement of the Circassian population, especially during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. From 1763 to 1864, the Circassians fought against the Russian Empire in the Russian-Circassian War, finally succumbing to a scorched-earth campaign initiated in 1862 under General Nicholai Yevdokimov.[1][2] Afterwards, large numbers of Circassians were exiled and deported to the Ottoman Empire and other nearby regions; others were resettled in Russia far from their home territories.[3][4] Circassians live in more than fifty countries, besides the Republic of Adygea.[5] Total population estimates differ: according to some sources, some two million live in Turkey, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq;[6] other sources have between one and four million in Turkey alone.[7]

Several directors of Security for the State of Jordan have been Circassian.

So, what's that got to do with "poking the bear"? You mean Russia might get involved just because a Circassian was burned alive? I can't see it.

Nothing to do with Russia. Circassians have not been Russian for a century and a half. They were forced to convert to Islam in 1700. When they were driven out they ended up as highly trusted soldiers and guards for the ottoman empire. The Jordanian royal family have used them as personal bodyguards and the country's military leaders for generations. There are probably 100K in Jordan and 1-2 million of them in turkey. They are Muslim but not Arab. They are renowned for their courage and fighting skill.

So, "poking the bear" = provoking those badass Circassian-Jordanians?

Not the case when they poke the sock monkey;)
 
Anyway, I think ISIS has already invited the trouble regardless of whether the pilot was Circassian or not -- by provoking that badass of a king. He's furious at what they did to one of his men.
 
Surprisingly the Chinese are not happy with them either.

China has its own Muslim minority, including the Uyghurs (Central Asian Turks) of Xingjiang, some of whom aspire to secede; they probably don't like anything anywhere that stirs up trouble among Muslims, it might give their Muslims ideas.
 
While the King of Jordan get's serious with Isis, Obama clowns with a selfie stick like a fucking teenager.

Did you grow as person a single day once your supposed enlistment ended?

Your immaturity level is astounding for someone I assume is in their 70s at least.

BTW... You keep skipping the IQ thingy as well as naming the upper echelon of military personnel Obama has bounced.. And you skipped where I posted a direct quote from the admiral you said resigned due to pressure over guys in the military.
