Murdering madness of ISIS must be stopped for humanity’s sake

I agree with John Bellew ( Letters, February 5) that the actions of ISIS by their “vile and brutal murder of Jordanian pilot Muath al-Kaseasbeh … have nothing to do with religion, but, rather, are about power, control and egotism”.

No cause justifies the burning alive of any human being, or indeed any of God’s creatures. It is important however to try and understand how such atrocities can occur.

Flawed fundamentalist beliefs and irresponsible decisions taken by governments in unjust and unjustifiable wars lead to such atrocities.
