Setting fire to a fellow Arab may not be the best strategy for promoting the jihadist cause:

By ISIS maybe, but most Muslims see Jordan like Europeans see Switzerland - neutral. That Jordan is participating in the anti-ISIS campaign shows the gravity of the situation in the Middle East.
It's clear that ISIS leaders think they can divide and conquer in that region. They are hitting at anybody and everybody, Muslim or not, Arab or not. From our vantage point in the West, ISIS seems to be taking an all-or-nothing gamble that there are enough radicals who will join them in their bid to seize territory.
They seem, also, to think that the West and Middle East allies can't prevent that from happening. A bad strategy with only one outcome, IMO.
