I think it goes without saying this is pure barbarism and I feel for the family.

No clever words required just a simple.

RIP Alan Henning, you appeared to be a good man.

So sad. Unbelievably awful.

Makes you despair.

No. This one has got a more informative title.

Use this one.

Can't remember the last time I broke down whilst watching news, but I did tonight. Poor, poor man and his devastated family. sad sad

I am simply angry at the barbarity- these people are not following the Koran or teaching of their Prophet - they are lower than animals.

Awful news - so sad for his family, for everyone.

Gracesgran Sat 04-Oct-14 00:35:46

So, so sad. His poor family.

There are no words to describe how disgusted I feel. And so very sad for his family, and the families of other victims.

Not often I agree with David Cameron, but "barbaric and repulsive ", it certainly was. angry

Kiora Sat 04-Oct-14 07:56:56

Oh the world we live in sad my condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

kittylester Sat 04-Oct-14 07:59:38

So sad and unnecessary!

Lona Sat 04-Oct-14 08:04:47

Such a sad waste of a good man's life. I feel so sad for his family.

They cannot see goodness prosper. They are foul creatures. Words alone cannot describe them. If there is such a thing as Karma (and I'm sure there is), I hope it comes back round to them a million-fold.

Very sad and disgusted hear the news.

You gave your time and energy to help others Alan. Now tragically you have given your life too. RIP

My thoughts are with your family and friends.

Amjad Khan says that it is not enough for Muslims to say "not in my name".

thatbags Sat 04-Oct-14 08:20:35

RIP Alan.

My heartfelt condolences to the family of this compassionate man and hopeful prayers for all hostages all over the world.

Soutra Sat 04-Oct-14 08:31:26

I entirely agree with jingl's link- Muslim leaders and Muslims at whatever level need to not only speak out but in the case of politicians and leadets, take action.

Soutra Sat 04-Oct-14 08:33:14

Oops sorry- it was Thatbags blush

Grannyknot Sat 04-Oct-14 08:42:16

Agree too. Muslim leaders need to step up.

I can't get my head around that this is happening in the world today.

RIP Mr. Henning.

Anya Sat 04-Oct-14 09:22:37

Alan was a far better man than the scum who captured and killed him.

This evil cannot be allowed to continue and the Muslim leaders and ordinary Muslims around the world need to stand up and shout out against this.

‘All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing’

(or words to that effect)

gillybob Sat 04-Oct-14 09:29:57

I agree thatbags and Anya it is high time that good Muslims stood up against this evil. Declaring "not in my name" simply isn't enough.
