Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Berlin jihadi’s family says he shouldn’t have been killed as his nephew is arrested as part of jihad cell

Dec 24, 2016 12:02 pm By Robert Spencer

Playing the victim role even as the evidence mounts that they are a jihad crime family.

“Nephew of Berlin truck killer Anis Amri is arrested ‘for being a member of his terrorist cell and planning to join him in Europe’ as family say killer should not have been shot dead and must have had an accomplice,” Mailonline, December 24, 2016:

An 18-year-old nephew of Berlin truck terrorist Anis Amri has been arrested in Tunisia, amid claims he is part of a terror cell and planned to travel to Europe.

Police swooped to arrest the teenager, named as Fedi, and two other jihadist suspects.

A statement from Tunisia’s interior ministry said the three were members of a ‘terrorist cell… connected to the terrorist Anis Amri who carried out the terrorist attack in Berlin’.

The ministry said Amri had sent Fedi money to join him in Europe.

It is unclear whether the suspects helped Amri flee Berlin.

The interior ministry said Amri had sent money to his nephew and encouraged him to pledge allegiance to ISIS.

‘One of the members of the cell is the son of the sister of the terrorist (Amri) and during the investigation he admitted that he was in contact with his uncle through (the messaging service) Telegram,’ it said.

Amri allegedly urged his nephew to adopt jihadist ‘takfiri’ ideology and ‘asked him to pledge allegiance to Daesh (IS),’ it said.

He told police that Amri, using an alias, sent his nephew money through the post office to join him in Germany to help him and join the terrorist network he headed.

The Tunisian prosecutor’s office has ordered all three men held in pre-trial detention pending further investigation.

The nephew also told investigators that Amri ‘sent him money through the post… so that he could join him in Germany,’ the statement added.

The ministry claimed the arrested man said his uncle was the ‘prince’ or leader of a jihadist group based in Germany and known as the ‘Abu al-Walaa’ brigade.

The terrorist’s nephew was arrested in Amri’s hometown of Oueslatia, while the others were arrested in Tunis.

Spanish authorities are also investigating links between Amri and another suspected extremist, it emerged today.

Interior Minister Juan Ignacio Zoido told Spanish radio station Cope that investigators are looking into a tip passed on by German authorities that Amri had developed a contact in Spain.

Zoido said: ‘We are studying all possible connections (between Amri) and our country, above all with one specific person.’

The arrests happened hours after the mother of 24-year-old Amri – who was yesterday shot to death by police in Milan – said the world will never know why he carried out the mass killing.

Nour El Houda Hassani, speaking at Amri’s hometown of Oueslatia in Tunisia said that a ‘great secret’ had died with him.

Family members have questioned the need to kill the terrorist.

His mother said: ‘Within him is a great secret. They killed him, and buried the secret with him.’

And she called on authorities to unearth who had put her son up to the attack, stating: ‘I want the truth about my son. Who was behind him?’

Amri’s brother Abdel Kader wept as he questioned the need to kill him.

He said: ‘My brother is dead. Bring us his remains, even one of his fingers, and I will put it in my pocket. They killed him when he was still only a suspect. Why?’

Yesterday family members spoke of their shock over Amri’s death, and his radicalisation.

Abdul Kader said his sibling died ‘the day he swore allegiance to Daesh’ – a derogatory name for ISIS.

Speaking after news of the 24-year-old’s death reached his family in Tunisia, Abdul said: ‘He did not call us when they published his picture – that’s what convinced us that he was the one who carried out this terrorist attack.

‘We are sorry for the death of Anis, but he did not die today, he died the day after he swore allegiance to Daesh.

‘I know he had a criminal record but I didn’t think that he would ever become a terrorist.’…

      Have him shot to pieces, frequently, then pay him in instalments.

    Nothing ‘secret’ about the commands of the koran, and the commands of your foul ‘prophet’, you repulsive old hag. You need to keep up; your koran is available on line, as well as in print, and more and more of us non-muslims have read it, are reading it, and aren’t stupid enough to buy what you’re trying to sell. Your ‘religious’ text orders good muslims to murder non-muslims. That’s it.

    Notice whilst this evil bitch is blubbering about her son, and the rest of the family snivels, there is not one word about this murdering pos’s **victims**.

    • ermom says

      Dec 24, 2016 at 1:13 pm

      Agreed. I’m fed up with the nonsensical ‘victimology’ of Muslims. When are we going to see millions of ‘moderate’ Muslims marching in the streets against the carnage, and find out they are turning in the Muslims in their mosques and schools preaching violence? When????

    • Shmooviyet says

      Dec 24, 2016 at 1:24 pm

      Agreed! Five stars!
      How often does the family express even simple regret that their son, brother etc. caused such grief for others? Usually they’re celebrating and congratulating themselves for raising a successful killer.The more warped one’s mind, the more they are feted.
      Without a shred of sympathy or humanity inside, the only assurance these beings have that they are ‘the best of people’ is a rotten lot of fiction telling them so.

          But who, pray tell, is the creature in red alongside the wizened octogenarian? Is that supposed to be a WOMAN? It looks like a big fat imam in drag.

          And whassup with the ‘grieving brother’? ‘Bring me his finger, I’ll put it in my pocket?’.Oh yes: The muslims are just like you and I (!?).

        In the Hadith,the family of a slain jihadi ‘martyr’ apparently ensures all his family will go straight to the Muslim top-class heaven : there are several grades and the jihadi and kin go straight to the top one. Sort of your son has ensured in the afterlife that you will travel first class, not economy. With umpteen children, surely the loss of one , bestowing such benefits on the family, is a small price to pay. Oh, and you get to play the victim card as well, maybe even monetary compensation from the kaffir government “why did he have to be killed?’

    • Panda says

      ‘I want the truth about my son. Who was behind him?’

      How’s this? Your sorry son was a murderer. He was killed trying to kill an Italian police officer. Your sorry cult is what was behind him.

      • Kathy Brown, Esq. says

        Dec 25, 2016 at 11:13 pm

        No, his very own MAMA was ‘behind him’! You know: Sending him off to Jihad Nursery School when he was just a tot. Then telling him 24/7 how he just had to grow up and do her proud by being a murdering shahada?

        I swear: I don’t know what’s more revolting about these people-their violence or their endless, preposterous, LIES.

    One point of view in terms of deterring future attacks is to Execute Terrorists and their accomplices and their entire families because that’s all these barbarians understand. Another point of view is to investigate the Islamophobia that created the terrorist and shower the poor terrorist victims with kisses.

    Two opposing views according to the Internet.

    There was one battle with Muslims during the Raj where the British Commander let it be known that all bullets would be smeared with pig fat if they were attacked. I’m sorry I can’t recall the details but I do know the attack didn’t happen! All bullets should be wiped with pig fat before being used on Jihadists. And it should be publicised that we shall do it! They all play the victim whilst planning murder and mayhem! And if I am ever asked to fight for my life against this murdering scum, my ammo will have pork fat on it! ! FACT

    • Veka Fitzfrancis says

      Dec 24, 2016 at 1:55 pm

      Hell, we don’t even need to put pork fat on the bullets, just say that we are.

    For a basic but instructive background on Telegram — the social media choice of jihadists — and the obstacles faced by counter-terrorism efforts to isolate real-time ISIS plots and threats as they are discussed on the Internet, the following article is revealing:

    When he shot the police, the police shot back. Simple as that.

    On top of all of this this creep was seen going into several Mosque in Germany & France & yet these phony hypocrites claim they are not involved & have no knowledge about past present & future Terrorist attacks ALL MOSQUES NEED TO BE BANNED IN NON MUSLIM NATIONS & the borders needs to be closed with stiff penalties for illegal entry Politicians Like Merkel, Obama & Trudope need to be prosecuted for treason.

  8. overman says

    Dec 24, 2016 at 2:51 pm

    Here’s his mother saying he wasn’t a ‘Terrorist’ !! [just a suspect who shot a cop in Milan, that’s all]. She blames the germans, of course, and this is CNN spreading taqiyya once again.

    • gravenimage says

      Dec 25, 2016 at 12:14 am

      No sympathy for sonny boy’s *victims*, of course.

  9. commonsense says

    Dec 24, 2016 at 3:22 pm

    From the article:

    “The ministry claimed the arrested man said his uncle was the ‘prince’ or leader of a jihadist group based in Germany and known as the ‘Abu al-Walaa’ brigade.”

    The name of this so-called brigade must be a reference to the Islamic principle of Al walaa wa’ al bara, which calls for Muslims to embrace that which Allah loves, and hate and fight that which Allah hates. Allah loves martyrdom, for example, and hates Unbelievers. Connect the dots.

  10. brane pilot says

    Dec 24, 2016 at 3:34 pm

    To this day, after tens of thousands of fatal Islamic terrorist attacks, the fact that a Muslim committed an act of Islamic terrorism is always greeted with surprise, shock, and disbelief by politicians and acquaintances.
    Many people still fall for that play acting.

  11. Rosie says

    Dec 24, 2016 at 5:19 pm

    ???why did they kill him when he was only a suspect?
    Ummm possibly because he shot a police officer?

  12. Sam says

    Dec 24, 2016 at 8:31 pm

    The whole Jihadi act and the victim status suggestion from the friends and family of this stupid Muslim criminal is disgusting. The worse part is stupid liberals who are buying this crap. Why can’t these people read the Koran with just a bit of objectivity and see Islam for what it is? EVIL GARBAGE.

  13. SAKOVKT says

    Dec 24, 2016 at 9:06 pm

    Good Grief!

    Look at the photo.

    Is THIS who is defeating us?

    No, they can’t beat anybody.

    It is us, who are LOSING!

    Always listen.

    His mother said: ‘Within him is a great secret. They killed him, and buried the secret with him.’

    And she called on authorities to unearth who had put her son up to the attack, stating: ‘I want the truth about my son. Who was behind him?’

    Amri’s brother Abdel Kader wept as he questioned the need to kill him.

    Clearly a much bigger organization is behind this. Having the perp shot in Italy is rather too convenient for Angela Merkel’s minions.

    He said: ‘My brother is dead. Bring us his remains, even one of his fingers, and I will put it in my pocket. They killed him when he was still only a suspect. Why?’
    …………………….

    Perhaps because he was shooting and trying to murder Italian police…

  16. Rufolino says

    Dec 25, 2016 at 7:23 am

    This murderer’s family is fluffing its lines badly !

    Hasn’t anyone yet told these idiots that they are supposed to say:-

    “We are so shocked ! SHOCKED ! We had no idea ! He was such a peace-loving boy !” (etc.)

  17. Islam the religion of killers says

    Dec 25, 2016 at 7:55 pm

    (the mother) ‘I want the truth about my son. Who was behind him?’

    looking at the parents you wouldn’t think it was Islam ….. most likely they were upset because they didn’t get enough social welfare ..
