The murder of aid worker Alan Henning backfired for ISIS as it 'shifted Muslim opinion' against the militant group, according to an anti-radicalisation expert. Home Office specialist Sulaimaan Samuel says the orchestrated killing of the Salford taxi driver led the vast majority of Muslims to realise the group were beyond the pale. The 47-year-old was beheaded by Islamic State (ISIS) militants in a video released on social media after he was captured in December while delivering food and supplies to Syrian refugees. Salford taxi driver Alan Henning went to Syria to help refugees forced to leave their homes by civil war, but he was captured by ISIS extremists and beheaded in a video broadcast by the group
