Alan Henning thought his work for a Muslim charity would save him from the Islamic State. This is one of the fundamental fallacies of the West’s entire approach to the global jihad. Western analysts and policymakers persist in the delusion that their concessions and acts of kindness will meet with reciprocal acts of kindness from Islamic supremacists and jihadists. This is not, in fact, the case. Instead, they’re just seen as signs of weakness, and regarded with contempt.
“Video: Islamic State group beheads British hostage,” by Jon Gambrell and Jill Lawless, Associated Press, October 3, 2014:
CAIRO (AP) — An Internet video released Friday purports to show an Islamic State group fighter beheading British hostage Alan Henning and threatening yet another American captive, the fourth such killing carried out by the extremist group now targeted in U.S.-led airstrikes.
The video mirrored other beheading videos shot by the Islamic State group, which now holds territory along the border of Syria and Iraq. It ended with an Islamic State fighter threatening a man they identified as an American.
“Obama, you have started your aerial bombardment of Shams (Syria), which keeps on striking our people, so it is only right that we continue to strike the neck of your people,” the masked militant said….
“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4)
Don McKellar says
That sure took long enough. I guess the bombing campaign disrupted the beheading video production schedule for a little while. Good to know it’s having an effect and slowing down the beheading videos. Progress.

Some poor Hoosier is next.
Born and bred in Indy, and a lifelong long suffering Hoosier Football fan (sorry for the redundancy), I see that Pete Hassig was a Ranger. I used to work with a guy who did several years in the USAF as a technical Lieutenant on systems. He was from Iowa and did electrical engineering in Ames, and worked on a team that developed a portable tripod based forward air control defense electronics system. It was primarily used for providing targeting data up to the jets, especially the A-10 Warthog.
One day I mentioned the SEALs in connection with “terrorism”. He said, he’d worked with SEALs and they were great, same with the boys from the IDF. But he said, “Man, the SEALs go in and do a quick operation and they’re out of there. The Rangers, they go into a place and take it over for a day or so, and from I saw the bad guys in the area suddenly get a very high mortality rate. When I said, “Yeah, but that does little good against the Moslems, they just fade back into the general populace.” My Air Force vet retorted, if they get out of control for too long, we should just turn the whole of the Middle East into glass.” Referring, of course, that thermonuclear explosions over sand superheats the silica in the sand into a form of glass.
So it’ll be sad to see Hassig decapitated, yes. But the New Caliphs aren’t to be questioned here, life is war, and we’re at war, and chopping off heads is a war operation. Let us note after Hassig expires that the Caliphs are only doing what the Holy Ko-Ran commands, so they rate some credit: we must accept our collective fate.

The U.S. has made a very stupid error over the years re: “immigration”.
The notion that one surely must need to immigrate here to work here, is, I believe, what opened Britain’s doors wide to needles Muslim immigration.
Despite Karl Rove’s assertion that “we need to CREATE a guest worker program which will allow foreign laborers to pick grapes in Uvalde, Texas and apples in Washington state and to then return home”, we already have a variety of NON IMMIGRANT, TEMPORARY WORK visas for that and a variety of other work categories, and it is likely, if one were to dig more deeply into the issue, that Great Britain’s Muslim problem resulted from a similar mindset.
Just speculating.

gravenimage says
Here’s the ludicrously self-styled “Truth”, linking to a load of bs that all the ISIS beheading videos have been faked.
But it is not “Islamophobes” that have claimed these beheadings, but the Jihadists themselves.
Moreover, there have been reports from refugees fleeing Mosul and other parts of the Islamic State of Jihadists *lining the streets* with severed heads. There have been many more victims besides the four Western hostages, including Iraqi soldiers, Shi’ites, and those deemed “insufficiently Islamic”.
Are all these witnesses lying?
Moreover, there have been many other videos besides those from “Jihadi John”, including those showing small Muslim children playing with severed heads.
Are all of these “faked”, as well?
And how far back is “Truth” going? Was the beheading of Daniel Pearl faked? How about Nick Berg?
Is he claiming that these victims are still alive? That they died of natural causes? Who knows?
These ludicrous “Truther” claims always break down when you realize the *shear scope* of Jihad terror. One or two events conceivably could be faked—but dozens? Hundreds?
Truthers generally break down into one of two categories—although some, of course, are both.
Either they simply can’t believe that *anyone* could be guilty of such atrocities—it is just too scary for them to deal with. So much more comforting to think that it is just Hollywood special effects.
Then there are those who cannot conceive of any evil except for “Western colonialism”—so if some horror is committed elsewhere, it must somehow be trumped up by Mossad, or the CIA, or bad ol’ George Bush—surely not by those nice Mohammedans! They must, somehow, be the victims…
mo says
Conspiracy theorists try my patience like few people can. I’d rather talk to a straightforward jihadist. At least they are very clear about what they believe and why they do what they do.
Conspiracy theorists see XYZ event that has enough facts behind it so that any reasonable person can conclude that this is what happened. But I guess the real story is not exciting enough for them. So instead, they take bits and pieces of things that may or may not be true, and put them all together so as to concoct a story that’s 10 times harder to accept than the more straightforward version, because it has 10 times more logical difficulties!
Angemon says
Or, as I like to put it, the more one argues and uses facts to explain why the Conspiracy Theorist is wrong the more he is convinced that whatever it is that he believes is right and only the smartest people can see that the truth behind the pilling up of facts and evidence that proves him wrong.

I never thought I would even think this, but a military coup on the US might be in order.
Sovereign Man says
A military realignment of the country back to the Constitution and a fresh start are needed. There would be a period of economic upheaval if the Federal Reserve corporation lost control of the money presses and the country was allowed to default, but the United States is a well provided nation with a huge surplus of food production – revolution in the USA would be far less costly in human lives than in other historical examples.
However, the only way a such a movement could happen is if the junior officer corps organized itself – the senior officers and flag officers are all politically “approved” and thus part of the machine. Veterans could organize and provide assistance and legitimacy to the movement.

I respect Salah on many matters, but I cannot help but find deeply disturbing his constant assertion that the solution for what ails the West is military coups, throwing out our tradition of Jeffersonian democracy, and emulating authoritarian Egypt.
Egypt *is* marginally better under a coup than it was under the Muslim Brotherhood—but would the US be? Britain? The nations of Western Europe? Australia? Canada? New Zealand?
The denial and “politically correct” problems of the West run deep, without doubt—but the idea that the solution to this problem is turning to authoritarian brute force is at best highly questionable.
And dangerous as they are, I find his pushing for the PC to be *executed* in show trials to be *very troubling*. Many of these idiots are not truly evil, but just clueless and in denial.
Moreover, many others—journalists, teachers, ordinary citizens—are in just the same sort of denial—does Salah believe that we should butcher all of them, as well?
I believe Salah has spent far too long in Dar-al-Islam…
Salah says
You got me wrong, gravenimage…again!
I’ve never ever suggested a military coup, I’m talking of a popular uprising like the one they did in Egypt (33 million took to the streets, I can hardly call it a military coup.)
I’ve never ever suggested butchering anyone in show trials. I’m talking of fair trials. Again, like the trials of Morsi and his thugs in Egypt.
In Egypt, and elsewhere I assume, treason is a capital offense. I’m talking of applying the law. Period.
voegelinian says
“I’ve never ever suggested a military coup, I’m talking of a popular uprising like the one they did in Egypt (33 million took to the streets, I can hardly call it a military coup.)”
Yes, it was a popular uprising — followed by a military coup which General Sissi and his fellow soldiers exploited. It is highly unlikely that millions of people by themselves, no matter how ebulliently fervent, can take over a government and begin functioning in an effectively organized fashion.
“I’ve never ever suggested butchering anyone in show trials. I’m talking of fair trials. Again, like the trials of Morsi and his thugs in Egypt.”
One man’s “fair trial” is another man’s kangaroo court. Given Egypt’s long history alternating between ISIS-like extremism (like, um, it’s first 1,200 years) and Sissi-like Strong Men Dictators, it’s highly unlikely that any judicial proceedings in that miserable Islamic hellhole have ever been “fair”.
“In Egypt, and elsewhere I assume, treason is a capital offense. I’m talking of applying the law. Period.”
This implies a drastic over-simplification of the problem of Western myopia to the problem of Islam. There may well exist a handful of actual traitors among the “Elites” of the West; but they are not the main reason why the West continues to be myopic and pursue its disastrous policies: the problem is a more amorphous sociocultural problem, entailing a worldview (the PC MC worldview), affecting the hearts and minds of millions.
Most disconcerting about Salah is his persistent belief that the majority of Egyptian Muslims — whom a mere few years ago expressed support
for violently fanatical Islamic beliefs (death for adulterers, death for blasphemers, death for apostates) — are suddenly freedom-loving moms and pops like the rest of us.
Salah says
@voegelinian,
You’re wrong…again!
“Yes, it was a popular uprising — followed by a military coup which General Sissi and his fellow soldiers exploited.”
Siding with the people is not exploiting the situation, it’s doing the right thing.
“One man’s “fair trial” is another man’s kangaroo court.”
While not exactly “perfect”, the Egyptian judiciary’s standards are very high. This is why some cases could take months, even years, to reach a fair verdict.
“..whom a mere few years ago expressed support
for violently fanatical Islamic beliefs..”
Wrong, again. You trust polls, politically motivated polls. When it comes to Muslim lands, never trust polls. Trust your own eyes (you can’t photoshop 33 million people saying NO to the Muslim Brotherhood thugs.)
gravenimage says
I agree, Voegelinian—cluelessness and willful denial is a much bigger problem here in the West than is actual treason, which occurs but is rare.
Personally—no matter how belatedly—I want to see these pols eventually standing against Islam, even if it is only to keep their seats—not swinging from lampposts.
UneasyOne says
Well said, GI!
I have plenty of problems with this and previous governments re islam. I think that this and previous administrations have not only underestimated the threat but been caught flat-footed by IS. The insistence of many of our leaders that islam is a religion of peace is unconscionable and suicidal.
Having said that, the main danger we face from IS is that they are extremely well organized and have extremely competent leadership. It appears to me that our airstrikes (and drone strikes, I presume – which are secret) are aimed at decapitating that leadership. If I am right about this, we can relax a bit, because we are employing the strategy that will win for us.
I have maintained from day one that Zawahiri was the brain behind Al Queida and that we should get him first. Bin Ladin was a figurehead. Sure enough, Zawahiri is still causing trouble, now in India, but Al Queida as such is pretty much defunct. The decapitation strategy has worked there. Ironic, I’d say.
In any case, we need to wake up America, right and left, to the reality of islam. Unfortunately, for the left to come along, it will take actual attacks here, which will happen, before they set aside all the PC lies they have bought into, hook line and sinker.
This PC crap isn’t about Obama – Bush was spouting exactly the same crap. It’s about oil. Until we declare independence from these barbarian Sheiks by prioritizing alternative energy development, our congress will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Exxon and our politicians will continue to spout the big lie, to the benefit of our enemies.
The revolution we need is against Big Oil. When we win that one, IS will be no problem.
voegelinian says
” Sure enough, Zawahiri is still causing trouble, now in India, but Al Queida as such is pretty much defunct.”

They’d never, ever be honest about it — unless they truly believe that saying so wouldn’t afftect them, or harm or retard the advance of Islam on the world. Otherwise, the slight majority of them would lie on any such questionaire even if certain of anonymity. I would guess 45% in favour, 55% against. After all, it is in keeping with sharia law.
Beagle says
Great question. The media polls on almost everything. But Muslim support for IS behavior apparently is not important.
I found this on support for brutal punisment under sharia.

“apparently is not important”

YES! I said the same thing recently and was chastised with the, “walk a mile in his shoes” type of attitude. Believe me, I am the biggest chicken on earth. I would probably die of terror long before a knife ever touched me. I would not wish these people’s fate on anyone. My heart goes out to them and their families. I cannot imagine their horror.
At the same time, it needs to be said that if you KNOW you are going to die, if you KNOW these animals have no mercy for anyone, if you KNOW they are going to kill you no matter what you say or do, why not at least curse their demonic god Allah to their faces? Why not tell them you’d rather die an infidel than to submit to their blood cult? What have you got to lose? I just don’t get it.
Why not at least go out fighting? Who knows, maybe if the world saw someone – even just one person! – FIGHTING BACK against these savages, they’d be a bit more inspired to fight back themselves!

In Britain, the main political parties, and MSM are again relegating the Islamic motivation of the Islamic jihadist beheaders of the Islamic, Islamic State.
These apologists go to Islamic interests in U.K for their opinions; but not to critics of Islamic jihad from the vast majority of non-Muslims in U.K.
SallyA says
Muslims – pathetic losers with potential for dangerous violence. Without exception. Anybody who would stay in a religion which inspires Youtubed beheadings is abhorrent.
The Presbyterian Church USA wouldn’t get my loyalty even if I’d been raised in it after its pro-Islam divestiture against Israel, and that’s such a lesser evil than global Islam’s sponsoring and exporting of beheading, other terrorism, discrimination, misogyny, violence and religious hatred by Muslims against non-Muslims. Islam must be such a powerfully strong psychopathic brainwashing ideology that many cannot break free. Others may be afraid of the blowback of violence if they leave, given how violent Muslims obviously by daily reported news can be. The whole mess is pathetic. I am glad when competing Muslims prey upon one another; every time it happens I think, ‘one less Muslim to cause suffering to a non-Muslim.’
Psychopathic mental illness and brainwashing analogous to psychopathology can make people less than anything we ought to credit as human. Was Ted Bundy still human after what he did, or a monster? Was the masked Muslim who beheaded Alan Henning still human after what he did, or a monster? If they’re no longer human, then why should we care at all what happens to them? Let monstrous Muslims kill one another in their murderous zeal. Let their monstrous theocratic religion of death and deception die out by the weight of its own destructiveness. The sooner the better.

“Obama, you have started your aerial bombardment of Shams (Syria), which keeps on striking our people, so it is only right that we continue to strike the neck of your people,” the masked militant said….

What *absolute crap*.
Americans James Foley and Steven Sotloff were beheaded *before* the US or any of our allies got involved in opposing the Islamic State—as was the other British aid worker David Haines.
Muslims do this all the time—claim that they are acting in the name of this or that “grievance”, when their atrocities *preceded* any reaction from Infidels.
It has been, in fact, their beheading of innocent Western hostages that has disgusted even many Western dhimmis. In other words, it was the beheadings and other atrocities of ISIS that led to the bombings from the US and their coalition, not vice versa.
weavo2 says
If ISIS cut off the head of one of Obama’s children, one could bet that he would still call Islam the religion of peace. Nothing wrong with Islam by golly.

Oh the beheaders have hijacked the religion no doubt about it! I mean that’s just a given slavishly drooled by our “leaders.”

FELLOW AMERICANS, WE NEED TO UNITE!!
i am a leftest as some of you know by now. On the left, it is mainly the atheist community that recognizes the danger and evil of islam We need to put aside our other differences and prepare to fight an implacable enemy.
Oil. That’s what gives these goatherders power over us and we have to end our dependence on it NOW! Until we do, none of our politicians are trustworthy. Solar, wind, tidal, geothermal and a host of other technologies spell freedom. Oil is the chain they use to enslave us.
They depend on our cash and expertise; without that, their societies will crumble. By developing these technologies, we will boost our economy and strengthen our position as leader of the economic world – and we can be free of these barbarians in a decade at most.

I’m not opposed to alternative energy sources if they can survive without billions in tax subsidies, which they can’t .
The US is or is about to become the number one producer of petroleum in the world. We will be relying on it for at least several more decades. The best way to undercut the Arab oil sheikhs is to free up US production on public lands, increase refining capacity, and flood the market with cheap petroleum products.
Sorry, but you can’t build a reliable power grid on any alternatives you mentioned except where geothermal is sufficient. That’s fairly limited.

First: We are subsidizing big oil to the tune of 4 billion a year. Why is that? Especially when it is the most profitible industry in the world. In ond recent year, Exxon got a 183 million dollar REFUND on no taxes paid. Oil can do without those subsidies. Besides, these businesses are already turning profits. In most cases, all they need is start up capital. Sorry, but you are going to have to prove that alternative energy needs subsidy to survive.
Second: Like other apologists for big oil, you are assuming that we must depend on one alternative source, rather than several. Not the case.
Third: How many billions do we spend annually defending that oil? There is plenty of money available when you consider the blood and treasure we spend every year.

Kepha says
The “atheist community” has imposed on us the worship of “Hisorical Necessity”, “Nature”, “The Dialectic”, and a host of other little idols. During the 20th century alone it has murdered, in the names of social justice and progress, over 160,000,000 people–more than suffered for the wrong kind of Christianity or none at all in the 15 centuries between the conversion of Constantine and Napoleon’s shutting down of the Spanish Inquisition.
Further, I see the supine dhimmitude of the Left-wing “atheist community” in the face of the jihadi onslaught. They’re quick to ransack the record for morally equivalent Christian terrorism while pretending to be so morally pure and “above the fray” themselves. But when push comes to shove, they’ll pull a Roger Garaudy and say the Shahada in the presence of two Muslim witnesses.

Alan Hemmings decapitated.
Quote:’The blood of David Haines was on your hands Cameron, Alan Henning will also be slaughtered but his blood is on the hands of the British parliament.’

Correct. If parliament had not allowed the immigration into Britain of people whose religion commands the takeover of every land and make it sharia compliant, then we would not be fighting in Muslim lands, and this act would not have happened.
Yet another “this is not Islam” decapitation.
Now for all those, including imams, that say “this is not Islam”, ask yourself “What would Mohammed have done”.
ECAW says
Was Henning a Muslim?
“It might come as a surprise to some that Alan didn’t believe in Christmas anymore, this was as a result of him always being around Muslims. They used to give him Da’wah including myself, Alan by now believed in Allah, His Messenger Prophet Muhammad (saw) and he no longer believed Jesus was God or the son of God. Many of his mannerism and behaviour had started to conform to a Muslim lifestyle such as him giving up the consumption of alcohol.”

Re.PJ. i do not think what you have posted is outlandish at all. These people would not give a second thought to show a beheading so why so squeemish with the westerners.
I reckon they are far more use as hostages at some llater point. Finally this last dafty with his one finger salute was one of their own.

Moslems don’t want no dang charity. Give these dudes credit, they’re willing to stand on their own. That’s why the explosive growth rate, to turn a phrase. They are winners and they are stand up guys.
Edward Cline says
The full and true reality of the “benevolence” of Islam and what it means by “peace” too likely and too late occurred to Henning once the blade of the killer’s knife touched the skin of his neck and began sawing. I have no sympathy for him or the other fools who went to the region to “do good.”
Kepha says
Moral of the story: Never work for a Muslim charity, because it’s ultimately nothing of the sort.
Gardener says
The conspiracy theories are silly. There are many possibilities as to what happens in this series of beheadings and why they don’t show the beheadings in full.
1) Some time ago the IS head honchos told their rank and file to show restraint in the type of beheading videos they put out because they were turning people against them. 2) It is possible the hostage is killed by other means and the beheading is done postmortem. It’s been done by jihadi groups many times before. 3) It is likely they don’t want to show the blood spraying all over the place because it would make the video itself messy when it is meant to be professional, sleek, and to the point. 4) It is likely they want to have the hostage in an upright position for visual effect, but the beheader can’t lean on anything in those surroundings and won’t have the strength to keep the victim upright, which means the beheading is actually mostly done on the ground. In one of the videos in this series, the hostage can be seen starting to fall as the video fades to black.
I think the killing of Alan Henning was a significant strategic mistake by the Islamic State. They lost a lot of sympathizers because of it. I think Jabhat al-Nusra will be the main jihadi front in Syria within a couple of years. The Islamic State caliphate has no future, and it’s just a matter of time before it shrivels and is overrun by its many enemies.

Festival of sacrifice. another head is falling down and Cameron in his message for Eid al-Adha says: “I think of all the Muslims who have come to Britain over the years […] sacrificing so many things to build up Britain’s businesses, run our public services and strengthen our society. Their children and grandchildren – British Muslims in our country today – help to make Britain the success story it is today
As we mark 100 years since the outbreak of the First World War, I think particularly of the sacrifices hundreds of thousands of Muslims made to fight alongside the Allies. The freedom for which they fought – for which so many gave their lives – is the freedom we all enjoy today.
Above all, I think of all those around the world being forced to sacrifice everything in order just to stay alive. The displaced in Iraq, the beleaguered in Syria, the wounded in Gaza, the exposed in Eastern Europe – these people are giving up all they have to protect their families.
People here in Britain are giving what they can to help those in need – especially British Muslims, who are the most giving faith community in this country…”
British Muslims in the uk are sacrificing animals, british muslims in the is humans.
in the eyes of allah who is the better muslim?
Mark says
Do you think he is actually ignorant of these facts?
50% of muslim men and 75% of muslim woman claim unemployment, housing and associated benefits. Many of them actually having more than 1 wife.
Cant remember if it was 24% or 42% of muslims in uk also claiming dissability benefits – aided by there being so many muslim doctors in uk, to whom making false statements/oaths when certifying claims is very islamic because muhamad did it and allah also said he has ordained for every muslim a set number of FALSE oaths they must make! Let alone of course that stealing from kuffar is also very islamic.
Whilst being only around 5-6% (official stats) of population they now make up 15% of entire prison populationand also hugely represented by those convicted of the most serious crimes. Muslims are a huge financial burden on the police, court and prison systems. To their victims also of course who suffer everything from threats, rape/child molestation (highly islamic slave gangs for sex), theft of their property, hugely increased motor insurance due to the muslim gangs being behind the fraudulent accident claims and medical claims. Those suffering from drug addiction, with most drug gangs now being islamic. Etc. etc. etc.
1 third of babies born in the uk with congenital birth defects are from only 6% of population ie muslims.
I could go on of course….
katarzyna says
i think he knows the facts but coz the appeasement policy and prevailing political correctness he is not able to learn something from them. myopia often means utopia. in this case many deaths.
Mark says
Am in Uk and really sick how the Bullcrap/biased Broadcasting corporation (BBC) and sky news are hosting lying imams and other muslims telling the most obvious of lies to the british public to hide that isis is islam.
(The most obvious of lies to anyone that has done even a small amount of research and reading of their mainstream islamic books that is, quran/hadith and sira of course – joe public is still mostly ignorant).
imam Asas Zaman was on BBC news this morning and amongst his other lies stated that islam teaches compassion and forgiveness…. yup folks that oldie lie, using terms that chritians/moral people relate too but in fact being the most depraved of lies.
Using christian type phrases to disguise something that is so much the direct opposite, that its satanic in nature.
abad says
Time to quote the late and very great David Seabury with regards to everyone who thinks they can “help” the Muslim cause over in Iraq:
“Here is a mysterious contradiction. Those who toil for the good of others often lose the respect of those for whom they sacrifice. As we change, under the stress of helping, others may blame us for the lessening of our strength, health, ability to cope and our charm. Altruism should never be the first thing on your agenda.”

I do not doubt that these hostages are now dead. However, ‘ Jihadi John’ does not appear to have their blood on his Timberland boots.

Thanks for the support. Apparently, Voegelinian is so awash in money that he doesn’t have to seek work. You see, in our wonderful, new, Progressive State, teachers, such as myself who refuse to be part of Common Core, won’t even be considered for a job anymore.”
To allege being a teacher is to imply education. Your cover story keeps falling further apart.
You swear like a teenage girl, you lie outright, you can’t read well, why would anyone believe anything you say. You also seem to have a predisposition to conspiracy theories.
I mean, if teachers are like you, no wonder the kids are so stupid these days! Nah. the teen-age girl living with mom makes much more sense.

I call them based on your actions and words here. Yes, you are a 12 or teen-age girl, based on your mentality.

You have a thing for insinuation. Likely it is projection. You act like a little girl in your words, and especially your insults. I call it as I see it.
I am sure that any parents here with teenage girls can see the amazing similarity in you language skills.
You must be intimidated easily by others as well, since your very first response was to attack the person who dared challenge your words, even only to point out that you were jumping to conclusions.. Your attacks only got worse, hopefully you will grow out of such childish behavior. It is obvious you knew you could not support your conclusions in fact, so you needed to be insulting instead.
If that is not a childish, pre-pubescent attitude, what is your excuse?

You have already made clear that you have the mentality and language usage of a middle school girl.

Gee, that is so much more impressive.
