The shocking and brutal murder of David Haines is yet another outrage against humanity by the self-styled Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant or ISIL.
For them to claim that their pitiless acts of barbarism are committed in the name of Islam is a grotesque twisting of Islamic teaching and a blasphemy against Islam.
David Haines was a humanitarian aid worker. What kind of sick minds are capable of sadistically murdering someone whose prime motivation was compassion and humanitarianism?
And the fact that David's killer was apparently British makes the horror even more difficult to comprehend.
These murderers should not be dignified by referring to them as jihadists, they are savage serial killers.
The UK’s first priority must therefore be to stop any more young British people succumbing to this warped ideology and work with allies to cut off ISIL’s access to military hardware.
But Britain will also have to talk to Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria to ensure ISIL is ultimately defeated.
