Kotey claims that his interpretation of Islam has changed, but this refusal to apologize suggests otherwise, and leaves the strong impression that he is still committed to the jihad.
“‘Will you apologise for the murder of David Haines?’: ITV News confronts ISIS ‘Beatles’ over death of British aid worker,” ITV News, October 11, 2019:
The two surviving British members of the ISIS terror cell dubbed “The Beatles” have been confronted by ITV News about what they know of the last moments of murdered aid worker, David Haines.
In their last TV interviews before both were taken into custody by the US, Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh dodged the opportunity to directly apologise for his death.
But Elsheikh did say he would “offer my sincere apology” for his role in the logistical side of the terror group.
He added he has “no problem apologising” for moving Mr Haines from location to location during his time in captivity.
Kotey, however, remains evasive when pressed by ITV News Security Editor Rohit Kachroo: “I won’t forget what I’ve said before.”
Before adding: “I find your line of questioning irritating.”
David Haines was executed by Mohammed Emwazi, otherwise known as Jihadi John – and the gruesome video showing the beheading used for propaganda by so-called Islamic State ….
Oldone says
The Death Sentence sounds like it would change his mind…
Ray Jarman says
Why would any government even contemplate such a despicably degenerate person to return. As the old saying goes, “You made the bed, now sleep in it.” The problem is that I don’t trust the British government to do the right thing for their own people and will bow to the Islamists yelling racism at them/

Nigel Leak says
What an idiotic comment.
Dawne says
No it isn’t an idiotic comment. Any legal decision made in the UK can be overturned by the European Court of Justice. Any Act of Parliament by the UK government can be over ruled by the EU Parliament. And it is well known that Germany runs the agenda in the EU. Why do you think so many intelligent people voted to leave the EU?
Tim says
The UK Parliament couldn’t make a decision if they Wanted. Not as long as Corbyn the Terrorist Loving Worm is allowed to throw spanners into the Works. Nothing to do with Germany or teh EU they don’t want Terrorist either.

Hopefully this will not be the case after Brexit.
LB says
Well, if the said government is working on exterminating its native population as quickly as possible, then this guy (and many, MANY others like him) is the prime candidate for the job.
TKF says
Why would he apologize?….He’s just another devout Muslim following the example of his depraved, phony-baloney prophet. I repeat…..Mohammad was a RAPIST and a MURDERER. Why Muslims look up to this perverted dead a-hole is anyone’s guess.Take a bow Muslims….you suck and your sham religion is a reeking pile of dog crap. You idiots can join the 21st century any time you want. Not holding my breath. Linkum!
James says
I think Pope Francis would support the right to return. He would be sympathetic to the jihadis and defend their right to act according to their faith. So who are British authorities to differ?

Pure evil these two.
Freida Cottone says
The west should not be stuck with foreigners like this, he is a war criminal and should be shot
abad says
If the UK is smart it will prohibit this barbarian from returning.
Moslems do not belong in the UK.
tgusa says
I refuse to apologize for being a homicidal maniac but please let me back in. I have changed, honest I have.
FireFox says
At what point do we wake up and understand that the inhumane barbaric evil that is Islam will never change; and the arrogant supremacism of these jihadis cannot be undone. This man deserves death and Islam needs to be sent back to the desert from where it came. Islam cannot, has not, and will not ever be compatible with the free world because Mohammad’s god hates every kafir and commands moslems to use terror and murder to subjugate the world, just like Mohammad did. 1400 years of unending terror and death isn’t proof enough? If not, your “Progressive Dhimmi” certificate is in the mail.

The Prodigal Son said upon his return home, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.” (See Luke 15:21.)
To say as much is what the two jihadists find irritating.
Naram-Sin says
Let me get this straight. The creep helps murder an innocent civilian by cutting of his head, and all the British media want is for him to apologize?
Giacomo Latta says
Do you apologize? What a stupid question to ask. He killed somebody not take a cigarette from his pack.
tim gallagher says
That is exactly what I thought when I read this report, Naram-Sin and Giacomo. I thought, what, this Muslim scumbag is involved in murdering someone and they think that if he apologises, then it’s OK. What the fuck!!. If you are involved in a murder you either face a huge prison sentence or the death penalty. As for the UK letting such an evil piece of trash back into their country, well, if they do so they are insane. I hope this scumbag is executed and good riddance..
AP says
Whats good for the goose is good for the gander. Hang the bully in the public square.
tim gallagher says
I agree, AP. Off to hell with this evil piece of trash. As I said, I couldn’t believe this report. Does he apologise? Who cares.
Jayell says
Kotey to ITV News Security Editor Rohit Kachroo – “I find your line of questioning irritating.”
“Irritating” would be a gross understatement of the average UK citizen’s opinion of the likes of Koley.
Phil Copson says
“I find your line of questioning irritating.”
————————————————
As a demonstration of the utter contempt that Islam is designed to inculcate, this absolutely nails it, and should be publicised as widely as possible.
(Obviously Kotey felt that it was he who was owed an apology for the infidel timidly raising the subject – and I wouldn’t be surprised if he got it too….)
Phil Copson says
“….I remember a debate in Parliament in which all opposition parties, especially labour, were attacking the Government for letting these two piles of manure go into US custody without being assured that they would not face the death penalty.
I hope the British people will think about that before voting Corbyn’s commies on the next general election…”

“Corbyn’s Commies” have just adopted as a parliamentary candidate a muslim woman who gloats over the deaths in the London Underground and bus bombings and applauds 7/7 as “pay-back”.

So remorseful… /sarc. off

No one should let this unremorseful murderous thug back in the UK.

Terrorist Alexanda Kotey doesnt get to interpret islam. This jihadi scum is an uncivilized savage and will never offer the West anything.
