UPDATE 16 Jan 2017: Now it turns out that the 'Aid Convey' which ended up with Alan Henning's brutal murder
was actually used to smuggle cash to the terrorists.
UPDATE 7 September 2016: Nearly two years ago I wrote articles (see below) asking why nobody in the main stream media was asking questions about the Islamic 'charity' that was behind the 'aid convey' in which Alan Henning ended up getting his head cut off publicly by ISIS in Syria. It was very clear then that this was a Sunni Islamist terrorist supporting organisation. It now turns out -
unsurprisingly as reported in today's Daily Mail - that Henning's mates in the charity were actually ISIS supporters. One of them is now on trial for murdering an Imam (of whom ISIS disapproved).
Article posted 18 November 2014:
I
posted the article below (about the terrorist links of the "charity"
which Henning was 'delivering aid' for several weeks ago). Now
Andrew Gilligan reports in the Telegraph
that Majid Freeman, a "charity worker" from Leicester, who was speaker
at the memorial service for Alan Henning, is an open supporter of
violent Jihadists (including Al Qaeda) and even sympathises with the
ISIS animals who beheaded his 'friend'.
Freeman...has
posted on social media apparently justifying Isil, promoting al-Qaeda
and expressing sympathy for Syrian jihadist “martyrs”.
Freeman was with Mr Henning when he was abducted in Syria last year.
Majid
Freeman's support for violence and jihad are far-reaching and include
the following call for violence against Jews in Israel:
On Facebook last week, he said that the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, which was
briefly closed by the Israelis at the time, “will be conquered by jihad, not
by peace… none will enter it except those who believe in removing the door,
not those who search for its key”.
What is
becoming very clear is that - contrary to the lie that the British media
is determined to spin - the views of Freeman are not unusual among
British Muslims but are in fact completely mainstream. The
tweet by Baroness Warsi this morning in response to the massacre of Jews in a synagogue in Jerusalem provide further evidence of this.

Alan Henning and the Hamas-supporting Islamic 'charity' who conned him into going to Syria
Everybody
knows that Alan Henning was a decent person who wanted to help
suffering people but was brutally slaughtered doing a good deed. What
nobody seems to want to know, however, is how he was unaware of the
danger he was likely to face and how he ended up as part of a convey for
an Islamic charity Al Fatiha Global under investigation for its links
to Islamist gunmen in Syria (more
here).
A report
here
on the charity is disturbing as it was actually written just before the
convey left with Henning last December. The charity is open about its
support for Hamas (see
here about
its funding of Hamas projects) and its admiration for Al Qaeda
terrorists such as Aafia Siddiqui, after whom it named a vehicle. If the
BBC and the rest of the British media were not so determined to cover
up Islamic terrorism and its supporters in the UK Alan Henning might
have decided to spend Christmas with his family instead of travelling
with a bunch of terrorist supporters to one of the most dangerous places
on earth.
It is also interesting to note how the
media is not investigating how it came to be that every one of the
Muslims accompanying Alan was released by ISIS - I find it hard to
understand how at least the leader of the convoy (Kasim Jameel who,
incidentally according to the report below, was arrested in July on
child pornography and sexual assault charges) did not insist on staying
with Alan until the end, since it was he who talked him into going.
Anyway, much more on this story by
Marc Goldberg at Harry's Place whose report includes the following:
According
to the Independent Henning travelled to Syria as part of a convoy
organised by the group al Fatiha Global. The group denies responsibility
for him in a statement on their Facebook page:
“Whilst
Alan was not under the direct responsibility of the charity Al Fatiha
Global – as has been suggested widely in the media – he was a valued
fellow convoy member, volunteer and friend to us for the duration of the
journey until we reached the Turkey-Syria border, where he continued
his journey into Syria with his group. He was amongst the first to enter
Syria. He was detained shortly after.”
The Telegraph
reported in September that;
“Mr Henning was driving an ambulance on behalf of Rochdale Aid 4 Syria,
which raised money on behalf of Al-Fatiha Global, a registered charity
currently under investigation by the Charity Commission after one of its
leaders was photographed with his arms around two hooded fighters
carrying machine guns.”
It seems pretty disingenuous
to me for al-Fatiha Global to be disassociating itself from Henning when
he was a part of their convoy volunteering for a group raising money
for them. On the ground it is quite clear that the al-Fatiha Global
people were responsible for this convoy and therefore should bear
responsibility for all who travelled with it.
Henning
was one of only 8 who continued on into Syria. He was arrested by ISIS
half an hour after crossing the Turkish border. The Telegraph article
paints a damning picture of Al-Fatiha Global and Aid 4 Syria saying;
“Aid
4 Syria has also used its Facebook page to promote an event called
O’Ummah Wake Up And Rise! at which the guest speakers were Zahir Mahmood
and Moazzam Begg. Mr Mahmood describes the proscribed terrorist group
Hamas as “freedom fighters” while Mr Begg, a former detainee at
Guantanamo Bay, has admitted to fighting in Bosnia.
The
team leader of the convoy was Kasim Jameel, who was arrested in July on
child pornography and sexual assault charges before being released on
police bail. The investigation remains active.”
