A group representing Muslims in the North East has condemned the killing of an American journalist.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community North East has spoken out after Islamic State released video footage claiming to show the murder of American journalist Steven Sotloff.

“The AMC completely denounces the shocking, barbaric and un-Islamic murder of the innocent journalist Steven Sotloff. The extremists involved say they are acting in the name of Islam, but in reality have betrayed the religion they claim to follow and the Holy Qur’an, which clearly equates the killing of one innocent person to the killing of the whole of mankind.”
