A Single mother travelled to the Turkish Border in a dangerous attempt to persuade her British-born son to leave the Islamic State.
She waited there for three week and used an ipad in an Internet cafe to send directions to her son, 21, to help him make his way back to safety.
The odd thing is that this young man was actually brought up as a Christian and still got "radicalised" on the Internet and joined some 600 youths who have travelled to the Middle East to join the brutal ranks of ISIS and lets not forget how brutal these people are. The Daily Mail reported:
An horrific image has emerged of a baby girl moments from being beheaded by IS.
The picture is among several recovered by Kurdish soldiers from the mobile phones of dead fanatics in the Syrian town of Kobane.
It shows the child being pinned to the floor, in clear distress as a knife is held to her throat.
It is feared she may have been beheaded along with her family for being an Alevi Muslim, a branch of Islam whose followers have been targeted by IS.
Other pictures show beheadings and jihadis playing football with the severed heads of victims.
This youth (if you can call a 21 year old such), is one of around 250 who have returned to the UK. One wonders how many crimes these men have committed. As much as the mother can be commended for her actions, we have to remain extremely vigilant about what future action these men take.
Crimes beyond most peoples imagination have taken place in the name of the so-called Islamic State and it is going to be partially up to the Muslim community to tackle the extremists in their midst's.
Another equally disturbing story has been seemingly under reported in the media, that of the outcome of the trial of one of Hate Preacher Abu Hamza who has been sentenced to prison for torturing a man, not in the Middle East but in the middle of London. According to a very brief report in the Times:
Tito Ibn Sheik, 28 was sentenced to 12 years in prison after a court heard that he "orchestrated violence" against Hassan Monwwer, a restaurant worker over a £15,000 debt. Mr Manawwer was kidnapped in Acton, West London and taken to underground garages and forced to call his elderly father in Egypt to plead for money before being found by police.
This trial took place in 2012, but has only just been reported due to a Judge lifting reporting restrictions.
Why were we not told earlier?
The son of an Islamist "preacher" turns out to be nothing more than a common criminal.
The Jihadists go abroad to fight for a criminal group defining themselves as an "Islamic state"
Beheading babies? A "religious act"?
These men (and some women) must be treated as criminals and the Muslim community in this country must address the problem that their so called "religion of peace" is producing such barbarians.
It means a critical self examination of how the Koran and the (somewhat dubious) Hadiths are used by these dangerous miscreants to justify such wanton cruelty and savagery.
Islam itself needs to grow up and adjust to the modern world.
And that means accepting criticism, learning tolerance, understanding equality and human rights.
Anything else will leave Islam in the dark ages.
And a danger to everyone else.

"Anything else will leave Islam in the dark ages" - Islam is the dark ages. That is its identity. It is very doubtful that it can transform its identity anytime soon.
