He also tries convincing jihadists that Islam is a religion of peace by quoting from the Koran.
London (AFP) – The brother of British hostage David Haines murdered by Islamist militants issued Sunday a tearful video statement about growing religious radicalisation in which he quoted a verse from the Koran.
“We are seeing more and more radicalisation in every walk of life. It is not a race, religion or political issue, it is a human issue,” Mike Haines told British media.
His voice breaking with emotion, Haines read out a passage from the Koran saying: “Since good and evil cannot be equal, repel thou evil with something that is better.”
He added: “The Muslim faith is not to blame for ISIL, nor is it the fault of people of Middle Eastern descent.”
