British Muslim leaders have urged people to contact police if they know the identity of the man with an English accent who appeared in a video showing the beheading of an American journalist.

The Muslim Council of Britain, the largest Muslim umbrella group in the country, condemned the “abhorrent murder” of James Foley and called for united action by Muslims to stop the “poison of extremism” infiltrating their communities.

“We condemn unreservedly (the Islamic States’) psychopathic violence, whether it is on minorities, on civilians, or on fellow Muslims,” the council said in a statement.

“We are horrified at the abhorrent murder of James Foley, a reporter who initially went to the region to expose the human rights abuses of the Syrian regime.”   »»» Reuters
