Beheading

September 16, 2014 03:00 am | Updated September 23, 2017 12:52 pm IST

The news of Islamic State beheading British aid worker David Haines is deeply disturbing. The list of crimes being committed by the group keeps growing by the day and the time has come for concerted action by the global community to crack down on the jihadi terror outfit. IS is bent on eliminating anyone who does not conform to its hardline policies.

If the British Prime Minister calls the beheading as a despicable and appalling murder and an act of pure evil, then what should we call the massacre and the murder of millions of Iraqis including women and children in the bombing of Iraq by Tony Blair and George Bush in search of non-existent WMDs during Saddam Hussein’s regime? Mr. Cameron should see the beam in his own eyes before he sees the speck in the eyes of others.
