Even Al-Qaeda,Extremist Muslim Clerics condemn gruesome murder of Jordanian Pilot

The head of Sunni Islam's top university has called for the crucifixion of Islamic State militants over the burning of a Jordanian fighter pilot - an act even Al-Qaeda condemned as 'deviant'.
Twitter account linked to Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the Yemeni branch of the terror group, denounced the killing as 'conclusive proof of Isis' deviance'

Muslim clerics widely condemned Kasasbeh's burning, saying such a form of killing was considered despicable by Islam, no matter the context.

Dailymail reports that, the 1,000-year-old Al-Azhar university, which is revered by Sunni Muslims around the world, issued a statement expressing

 'deep anger over the lowly terrorist act' by what it called a 'Satanic' group.

Grand Sheikh Tayib said the act 'requires the punishment mentioned in the Koran for these corrupt oppressors who fight against God and his prophet: killing, crucifixion or chopping of the limbs.'

In Qatar, the International Association of Muslim Scholars, headed by prominent cleric Youssef al-Qaradawi and linked to the Muslim Brotherhood that has influence across the region, called the burning of Kasasbeh a criminal act.
'The Association asserts that this extremist organisation does not represent Islam in any way and its actions always harm Islam,' it said.
Saudi cleric Salman al-Odah wrote on his Twitter account:

'Burning is an abominable crime rejected by Islamic law regardless of its causes.'It is rejected whether it falls on an individual or a group or a people. Only God tortures by fire,' he added.

In reply, Islamic State posted its own religious edict on Twitter, which ruled that it is permissible in Islam to burn an infidel to death.
However, senior clerics across the Islamic world argued that inflicting death by fire was always banned under Islam.
