Do they call themselves ISIL, ISIS or IS? They should pick a name that represents them, like The Unislamic State.

Well, I am in bed with a flu like illness, ironically on the day when I am meant to be helping out in a flu clinic!

But I am lucky, I am still here.  I only have flu as opposed to other illnesses and I am lucky enough to live in the UK.

What this post is about, as you can guess from the picture, is both Islamophobia.  I can not express my shock and horror at the murder of Alan Henning, an aid worker who delivered aid to Syria to help those in need. Murdered by those who claim to follow Islam, murdered by a group involved in the murder of others who not only do not follow the same religion as them, but the same interpretation of that religion. Some call them the Islamic State but really they do not represent the teachings of Islam. And this is not just something which I, a non-Muslim thinks, but is the view of many Muslims across the globe. The thing is that there are many who forget this and seem to judge most Muslims based on the abhorrent actions of a few, worse not just those on the far right. Fortunately, there are those who will speak out against prejudice.
