“These were criminals and there is no comparison between them and Moath. His blood is more valued than Sajida al-Rishawi and Ziad Karbouli,” said al-Kasasbeh’s father, Safi. “I demand that revenge should be bigger than executing prisoners.”

The family of a Jordanian fighter pilot mercilessly killed by ISIS is calling for total revenge.

Lt. Moath al-Kasasbeh, 27, was burned alive while confined in a cage.

In response, Jordan executed two prisoners — Sajida al-Rishawi, a would-be suicide bomber whose release ISIS had previously demanded as part of a prisoner exchange, and Ziad Karbouli, a former top aide to the deceased leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

The pilot’s father is demanding his country do more.“These were criminals and there is no comparison between them and Moath. His blood is more valued than Sajida al-Rishawi and Ziad Karbouli,” said al-Kasasbeh’s father, Safi. “I demand that revenge should be bigger than executing prisoners,”I demand that this criminal organization (ISIS) … should be annihilated.”

His son’s horrific death was recorded and the video was posted online Tuesday.King Abdullah has promised a strong response, saying that ISIS isn’t just fighting his nation, but warring against “noble Islam” itself.The country now wants to step up airstrikes against the terrorist organization.But the pilot’s uncle, Yassin Al Rawashdeh, told media  that he also wants to see ground troops involved in the U.S.-led coalition against ISIS
