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."

Its not too hard to guess that both brothers had high regard for Islam
Maybe he is? Even the most vile and repugnant books ever written usually have a sentence or more that is normal and could be quoted to spin the books real message. The day I follow a caravan thief and child molester’s so called philosophy/visions please shoot me.
Yes, but what is the definition of "good" and "evil" in the Koran?
Good = Muslims
Evil = Everyone else
This poor sap is in serious need of BBC deprogramming.
It’s more as my name tag states. He suffers from the Stockholm Syndrome on steroids. Him and the rest of the world.
This whole verse is about repelling former belief systems/ways of behavior and replacing them with Islam. From what I have read and seen you are correct - some choose to see it like liberal Muslim’s do but a literal interpretation - and the one most prevalent in the ME - is exactly as you say!
“Since good and evil cannot be equal, repel thou evil with something that is better.”
Truth
Victim (individual) vs. murderer (gang/collective)
I guess he blames the sword.
He’s undoubtedly surrounded by muslims in the UK. Fear can make you say just about anything.
More likely just a liberal idiot.
In Christianity if you hold the Life of Christ as an example for your own you are a Christian. How then can it be that those who do EXACTLY as the “prophet” did are not Muslim?

Lambs to the slaughter, another idiot who is willing to sacrifice rather than fight
Yes, and the American people collectively, thinking of themselves as “compassionate”, have almost fully embraced the Stockholm syndrome.
Anything, ANYTHING at all TO AVOID FACING THE REALITY of our dear muzzie friends.
