A YOUNG British Muslim, face covered and voice disguised, appeared on on the TV news. He said he was going to Iraq to join the radical army to kill or be killed and became a martyr.

Asked if he would ever return to Britain, he said no: he would not want to kill innocent people here. Does he and the others who have gone realise they are doing just that, killing innocent men, women and children, just because they think and worship differently to them.
