Are you sure that he was tried under the Islamic court of law? Or are you making that up?
|
|
By:
it was reported that he was tried under sharia law
so no i was not making it up |
|
By:
I must confess that I am very surprised. I can't even imagine what he would have been charged with that might incur a death penalty. I can't imagine any offence...full stop!
A sad day for the world and for him and his family in particular. ![]() |

By:
mc moonbeam made a decent point earlier
why was alan henning in syria? Did he have anything to gain after giving up his job as taxi driver? Did he not have a family to support? |
|
By:
was daft to go over there agreed.id still nuke the fcukers though i have no compasion for these people.and any family here who has a memeber of there family joining these monsters should be kicked out the uk as in aunts uncles the lot

the japs were evil in the first world war but this lot are the biscuit.fight fire way fire as my grandad used to say
|
|
By:
i guess he realised that the world isn't all about gain and that people are people wherever you go.
And that sometimes we need to use our born privileges to help others in less fortunate situations, even to the temporary detriment of our own families. |
|
By:
ok to play devils advocate
would you leave your wife and kids to help people in Syria? |
|
By:
and also give up a job?
was the mortgage paid? |
|
By:
It is not a question of what I would do or you would do. He had every right to make those choices if he so wished. Did he finish his job or was it temporary leave?
It doesn't really matter as long as he was there legally. |
|
By:
the man made his own choice and fair play.but for me it was a crazy one plenty of peeps n other countys needing help with mess danger.my aunt s a missionary or whatever you call them in africa etc.shes filthy rich though so no morgage etc.

Also, I suppose he might have been well rewarded for his efforts...I really have no idea. But volunteering for work is not necessarily the same as doing voluntary work.
|
|
By:
he done an amzingly brave thing - a lot of balls to do that.
an amazingly kind thing to do but - would you leave a wife and kid to do what he done? |
|
By:
and to give up a job as taxi driver?
was the wife earning? Was the mortgage paid off? if he came back well and safe what would have happended then? |
|
By:
if he was my mate or bro id have tried to talk him out of going.if he was my kid id have broke his legs to stop him going.just my thoughts
|
|
By:
obviously alan went a long time before this war started
i must say he had a heart of gold but too leave wife and kid alone and also give up job seems mental to me obviously dont know his personal circumstances but that seemed mental to even think of doing that |

It's all eyes on Turkey now. ISIS have travelled as far West as they can go, they won't attempt to get into Turkey. Wouldn't like to be those Kurds being sandwiched between ISIS and Turkey in a no man's land. Maybe the West will allow Turkey to invade Syria taking ISIS out with them? Either way ISIS are buggered so we can stop with the hyperbole about you UK based threats and every Muslim being a terrorist.

not all muslims are terrorists, but most terrorists are muslim.....

except the irish and spanish ones, those in ukraine etc etc

By:
At least it has nothing to do with Islam. I heard it on sky news.

Time the governments made a few real "Jason Bournes" and just sent them in to wipe them out ...

By:

By:

The way to fight ISIS, Boko Haram, al qaeda etc is too to go after their sponsor Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait. And to make friends with strong men in middle east instead of trying to remove them e.g Al Bashir, Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi.
These tough guys they did make sure they dealt serious and harshly to all muslim extremists. It is when west weaken them or remove them when all these trouble started. |

powerful quote (IMO) today from Suleman Nagdi, of the Federation of Muslim Organisations.
"My question to these young people [who might be sympathetic to Isis] is simple: who is living closer to the message of the Qur'an? Is it Isis, or is it somebody like Alan Henning?" |

By:
Isis massive income by selling Oil from the fields they have Overtaken ,
Been sold on the Black Market ,wonder how much of it will End up in the UK ... |
|
By:
Tobermory. Thanks for posting that. I was the one who questioned the post about being tried by Shariah Law. Your post clarifies the matter. PugMunter's inference was that he'd been beheaded by order of the court.
Isis are simply a bunch of outlaws. |

There have been eight air attacks today on IS today, yet Syria-Turkey border town of Kobane are in severe danger of falling to them..on red button. Are air attacks enough? |
|
By:
UN envoy urging international community to act now to prevent IS seizing Kobane
They say fall would be "a massacre and a human tragedy" If we want to fight IS this is where we have to do it Not a lot of use people just complaining about them Air Strikes continue but position is precarious |
|
By:
"We" shouldn't be fighting in Kobane. The town is right on the border between Syria and Turkey, so one would have thought the Turks would have a direct interest in preventing the establishment of an ISIS protectorate there.
Sadly, their own narrow self-interest in not aligning with the Kurds protecting it and of course their historical embarrassment at the original reasons for its founding - it was first settled by Armenians fleeing the pogrom one is not allowed to call a pogrom - prevents them from taking a more proactive role in its defence. |
