KIDNAP BRITON IS BEHEADED BY AL QAEDA GANG
The Daily Mail ^ | June 4, 2009 | Martin Evans

Posted on 06/04/2009 10:29:54 PM PDT by bronxville

A BRITISH holidaymaker taken hostage while travelling in north Africa has been beheaded by Al Qaeda ­terrorists.

Edwin Dyer, 60, had been attending a music festival near the Niger–Mali border when he was captured in January along with fellow tourists.

His captors had demanded the release of preacher of hate Abu Qatada who is held in a UK jail.

But the grisly execution at the weekend came after two deadlines passed and it was made clear to the terrorists their demands would not be met.

Gordon Brown called it an appalling act of barbaric terrorism. He said the terrorists would be hunted down and brought to justice. They would have no safe haven.

Mr Dyer, a factory worker, who had lived in Austria for many years, was killed by militants from a group calling itself AQIM-Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.

Time to behead a terrorist, I'd say.

Gordon Brown provides safe haven to terrorists all over his country. How can he proclaim there will be “no safe haven” for these beasts?

Too kind.
Staple a terrorist to a wall with pig’s bones and stuff pig entrails on his head.
Let him hang out for a while.

He even imports them and provides safe haven right in the middle of the people he’s supposed to protect.

Yep. Just a few jihadists taking time out to hear from their spiritual leader.

I guess this poor man learned all he needs to learn about Islam, right Obama? I guess our nation is no better than any Islam nation, right Obama? To Hell with Islam and everyone who supports it.

The caption in the photo (in it's Exif data):

Caption = ** ADDITION TO GIVE EXPLANATION AS TO WHY MILITANTS ARE WEARING MASKS ** Palestinian militants from the Popular Resistance Committee wear masks to conceal their identities from the camera as they pose with their weapons while watching the televised speech of US President Barack Obama in front of journalists at a training base in Gaza City, Thursday, June 4, 2009. Quoting from the Quran for emphasis, President Barack Obama called for a "new beginning between the United States and Muslims" Thursday and said together, they could confront violent extremism across the globe and advance the timeless search for peace in the Middle East.

He's probably hoping his ignoring it will mean it didn't happen, just as he did the shooting in Little Rock perpetrated by one of his fellow muslims.

But waterboarding is torture according to Obama and the liberal loons of this nation.
