Theater of the absurd. via Obama confirms death of Peter Kassig, US aid worker held hostage by Isis | World news | The Guardian.

In a statement that referred to the name the Indiana native adopted after converting to Islam while in captivity, Obama said: “We offer our prayers and condolences to the parents and family of Abdul-Rahman Kassig, also known to us as Peter. We cannot begin to imagine their anguish at this painful time.”

In his statement, Obama said: “[Isis’s] actions represent no faith, least of all the Muslim faith which Abdul-Rahman adopted as his own.”

Kerry said: “Abdul-Rahman Kassig, also known to us as Peter, was a young American who personified the values of altruism and compassion which are the very essence of his adopted religion of Islam.”

Earlier in the day, the Council on American-Islamic Relations condemned the “barbaric murder” and repudiated “the anti-Islamic ideology that produces such brutality”.

That Obama and Kerry were able to confirm the video so quickly and prepared statements referring to Kassig by his Muslim name – something the media nor ISIS did -  and that terrorist organization CAIR made the same press comments suggest a well-orchestrated chain of events.

Obama nor Kerry even acknowledged the grandmother beheaded by a Muslim in Oklahoma. Obama did find time to send his highest praise the beheader’s mosque shortly after the beheading.
