Henning, 47, a taxi driver from Eccles, Greater Manchester, had been held captive in Syria for nine months. Islamic State militants have published a video that is said to depict the murder of a British aid convoy volunteer Alan Henning three weeks after warning that he would be the next to die.

If the video is found to be authentic, Henning will be the fourth western hostage to have been killed by the group, following the video-taped beheadings of US journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, and Scottish aid worker David Haines

Bitter Quran clingers murder? Who’da thunkit, POSOTUS?

The sad thing is that this is becoming so common that it barely rates even a gasp anymore, and certainly doesn’t get extensive coverage.

I guess Western countries just feel that it’s all over now, the Muslims are in power, and we just have to shut up and take it.

Well, yeah; the president of the US is one of them...
