“We are seeing more and more radicalization in every walk of life. It is not a race, religion or political issue, it is a human issue,” Mike Haines told British media.
His voice breaking with emotion, he read out a passage from the Quran which said: “Since good and evil cannot be equal, repel thou evil with something that is better.”
Mr Haines added: “The Muslim faith is not to blame for IS [ISIL], nor is it the fault of people of Middle Eastern descent.”
Aid worker David Haines was kidnapped in Syria in March 2013. His murder was revealed in a video released late on Saturday by militants from ISIL.
“ISIL are extremely dangerous and pose a threat to every nation, every religion, every politics, every person,” Mike Haines said.
