DEARBORN, Michigan – A statement issued today said: “The American Human Rights Council (AHRC) strongly condemns the brutal killing of David Haines, the British aid worker who was held hostage since March 2013 by the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group. The group is also known as ISIS and ISIL. According to media reports, Haines was beheaded on September 14, 2014 making him the third to be killed after American journalists James Foley & Steven Sotloff . AHRC joins the rest of the world in condemning the IS’s murders and acts of terror against innocent journalists, reporters, civilians of all faiths and races in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon. This crime violates the fundamental principles of Islam and should not be attributed to Islam or Muslims. AHRC highlights the importance of being mindful that terrorism has no religion and that the terrorist acts of a few should not be attributed to a religion, a sect or a national group. AHRC joins the nation in demanding swift action to bring those killers to justice.”

AHRC expresses its sincere and heartfelt condolences to the Haines family, with hopes for the immediate release of any remaining hostages. “This is another example of the extremists’ ongoing terror against humanity” said Imad Hamad, AHRC Acting Director. ” The world must define and address the the root causes and challenge this growing threat against humanity” continued Hamad.
Mr. Mike Haines, David’s brother, said “The Muslim faith is not to blame for ISIL, nor is it the fault of people of Middle Eastern descent.” — acccording to a recent Associated Press report. ISIL are extremely dangerous and pose a threat to every nation, every religion, every politics, every person,” Mike Haines stated that British Jihadists who return to the country should “face the consequences of their actions.” He had earlier issued a written statement paying tribute to his brother, who he said was “most alive” when doing aid work.

ISIS is Islamic! Muslims of different sects see other Muslims as not Muslims because of doctrine differences. They will call them non-Muslim! And then there are the infidels and Jews!
It doesn’t matter that anyone else, Muslim or not, thinks that they are not Islamic, as long as ISIL/ISIS and other terrorists do think they are. They will keep doing what they are doing in the name of Islam. It doesn’t help to convince me or others. You have to convince THEM, the terrorists that they don’t reflect Islam.
