Glenys...you question your faith at times like this? I am not ashamed to say I am a 'non-believer' Times like this CONFIRM MY NON BELIEF. ( My heart goes out to all the victims of these uncivilised barbarians, no matter what their faith or nationality and mainly the family who will suffer to their dying breath with the dreadful memories of how their loved ones died. RIP Ken Bigley

Still in disbelief, even though we didn't know the man. As Sue from Oz and Margaret say, the scum that did this are not animals, they are HUMAN BEINGS. It makes me so sad when people refer to filth like that as animals. Of course, that scum are such brave warriors, they don't even have the guts to show their faces! Trying hard not to hate that scum, because that's what they want. It makes me question my faith at times like this. Rest In Peace Ken, your ordeal is over now.

I saw all this on the news last night and still can't beleive there are such vicious people out there, well I can because it's been going on for thousands of years. My thoughts are with his family, at least he's at peace now. Jo.

May God give them strength to get through this. Love Deb.

With respect, the Koran does not condone barbarity any more than the Bible does. I am not of the Islamic faith, but I am sure that many if not most people of all faiths condemn the kidnappers actions. They are no more representative of the true meaning of their faith than the Christians were at the time of the Inquisition. Please, don't let this truly horrific act have any of us making sweeping statements. Most people of all faiths are good and kind. Only the fundamentalist few twist things for their own depraved agendas.

May the God that I believe in give Ken Bigley rest. He died not for peace, he died not for his faith, although his mind must have been under the most extreme torture. He died because that is what the Koran ( quaran) instructs its followers to do. To show your neighbour how ruthless you can be. I am a Christian and as far as is humanly possible I will hold on to my Christian beliefs. I will teach all nations, and speak to all humankind, but I will never, ever ever forgive those Bastards who took his life in the name of the allah. May almighty God bless you ,Ken Bigley, may His adorning light shine upon you, and in their saddest moment may God give his eternal comfort to his family. John McDonald

There really are no words to describe how I feel about Ken Bigley's death. I feel totally numb, as if I've lost one of my own family. I hope and pray that his family will find strength in each other and in God at this time. God bless and RIP Ken. A very sad Pauline

I can't even bear to think about it. Adding my prayers for his family. xx A

God rest his soul and give strength to his family. Amen. Keith

I couldn't watch all the news on poor Ken Bigley tonight it upset me so much. May our love and prayers go out to his wife, son, and all of his family, especially Lil his poor Mum. I shall light a candle tomorrow for Ken, and shall send a card to his family in Liverpool. May God Bless them all.

Sadly I for one thought all along that this was going to be the likely outcome. These people are worse than animals, I don't know how anyone can have any symapthy for them. They deserve everything they get.

We ought to keep this going at least for a day or two to show our respect. Jo.

This is awful i cant imagine what his family are going through My thoughts are with them. sharon

May God rest his soul and give his poor family the strength they will need to come to terms with this atrocity. I don't have the words to say how desperately sad I am that there are beings on this earth who can treat another in this despicable and barbaric way. Magsx

God is with us in darkness, that I know. I cannot explain, but He is. Joy

Condolences to Kens family.I hope all those other workers over there get out its just not worth it. These terrorists are not like animals Animals dont hold people to ransom.They kill for food , not pleasure or to inflict suffering. Offering huge sums of money to work there wouldnt tempt me.Life is too precious I dont know the outcome of this but let the workers pull out so no more can be used as hostages

Such a terrible terrible thing, What sufferance a human being can place upon another is beyond belief. I think what Joy said is right.

ive just seen the news that poor man my wishes go to his family how one human could do such a thing to another human the world has gone mad

Still watching UK Sky News,seeing his family on TV. Its just so sad. Those people are not animals!!!!!! They are much worse than animals!!!!!!!!! They had no intention of letting him go,were just using him to get more attention. RIP Ken Bigley. Sue

Maz, I don't know if you might be interested in my belief where the 'where is god' thing is concerned. In life, there are opposites - we know there is day and night, black and white, etc. I think the same applies with God - he is the good force and where there is good, there is evil. I can't explain why the evil won over the good this time, but it gives me some comfort. Mandy xx
