But instead of calling for an investigation of the teachings in mosques and a action (not just words) against jihad terror and Sharia supremacism from the Muslim community, the big media platforms are shutting down those who call attention to this problem. The powers in the world today clearly want more jihad terror, and less opposition to jihad terror. And that’s exactly what they’re going to get.
“‘They were all good boys’: Father of two of the Barcelona terrorists says they were radicalised by imam in Pyrenean town where they lives and went ‘a bit mad’ after Ramadan,” by Chris Pleasance, Nick Fagge and Gerard Couzens, Mailonline, August 20, 2017:
The father of two dead Spanish terrorists has insisted they were ‘good boys’ whose minds were poisoned by a radical imam.
Brahmim Aallaa, 50, is the father of 18-year-old Said Aallaa, who was shot dead by police during a car and knife attack in Cambrils, and Youssef Aallaa, 22, who is presumed killed by an explosion at a bomb-factory in the town of Alcanar.
Mr Aallaa, who is from Morocco, pointed the finger of blame for his sons’ fate at Abdelbaki Es Satty who preached for two years at the mosque in Ripoll, where 11 of the 12 attackers lived.
Speaking to The Times, he said: ‘The town’s imam might have influenced them.
Said Aallaa, 18, was shot dead in the attack on Cambrils while brother Youssef Aallaa, 22, is thought to have been killed in a bomb factory explosion in Alcanar. Their father Brahmim said they were ‘good boys’ who were radicalised by imam Abdelbaki Es Satty
‘They were all good boys, including my sons, but something has happened to them. All the [dead] boys have gone to a better place. It has been a great sadness for us.’
Es Satty, whose mosque has been raided by police, has connections to al-Qaieda and the bombers who carried out the 2004 Madrid train bombings.
Maria Alba Martinez, whose family employed Said Aallaa at their café, said families had become more hardline since Es Satty arrived.
The most noticeable change was in young women who started wearing hijabs, despite having never done so before.
Es Satty is thought to have died in the Alcanar explosion having masterminded the terror attack, though police are still carrying out DNA tests.
Mr Aallaa’s comments echo those by parents of other attackers.
The father of Moussa Oukabir, who also died in Cambrils, said his 17-year-old son lived a ‘normal’ life, attending school at playing football for the local club, until he suddenly became more religious.
He claims the same is true of his oldest son Driss Oukabir – who was aged ten when the family moved from Morocco to join their father in Spain and is still being questioned by anti-terrorist police.
Said Oukabir told Spanish media: ‘I can’t accept the fact that my sons are main suspects of a terrorist attack.
‘I never noticed any sing of radicalisation in their behaviours. They live just like other boys at their age.
‘Moussa was a nice boy. He never hurt anyone. He had been focused on their studies and was willing to pass the baccalaureate exam next year.
‘Recently however he started praying in a regular way. He never missed the time of his prayers.
‘But it was limited to praying, he did not go further. Moussa was young, and not mature yet. I think someone messed with his mind.’
Es Satty preached at a mosque in the south of the city, just a 15 minute walk from the apartment where suspected Barcelona van driver Younes Abouyaacoub lived….
Driss Oubakir, the brother of Moussa, was also arrested in Ripoll after his identity was apparently stolen in order to rent the van used in the attack….
Police believe the property was being used as a bomb-making factory to carry out a much larger atrocity before it was accidentally destroyed….
Neighbours of fugitive terrorist Younis Abouyaacoub have told of their shock that the smiling 22-year-old was involved with the horrific terrorist outrage.
Mohamed Bernadi, who lives in the same block of flats as Abouyaacoub, said: ‘These [Younis and other terrorists] boys were always good people.
‘It’s a real shame what has happened. The religion [Islam], like other religions, is of peace and merciful. These boys are not this.’
Mr Bernadi said the suspected terrorist lived with his parents, his four-year-old and ten-year-old brothers, and his sister who is around five years old.
Juan Gallego, 47, said: ‘I had no idea and he didn’t look like someone with this kind of ideology.
‘He dressed normally – a regular guy, sometimes they dressed up for their celebrations. I assumed they were religious.
‘I knew who he was but I didn’t know him personally. They have been living here for years.
‘He was a normal person. You wouldn’t suspect that he could do a thing like this.
‘Everything that’s happened, it’s surprising, it’s strange.
‘I mean, you don’t expect people like this to be in your own block, especially when they’re good people without a criminal record.’
Another neighbour added: They are like everyone here – totally normal people who are nice to everybody. It’s shocking.’…

We have heard this script before.
Mark says
Agree. More muslims = more jihadi attacks.
Fair views TH says
Same with more imans , more jihadi attacks. Only those foolish Western elites never learn, or never want to know.
Shalom says
This sentence “All the [dead] boys have gone to a better place. It has been a great sadness for us.’ stuck in my head two weeks ago when I first read it in The Times.
He wants the killers to be ok but nothing about the poor victims. How easily that slipped out.
Walter Sieruk says
First , it should be reiterated that malicious and murderous vehicle jihad terror attack in Barcelona, Spain which resulted in the tragic jihad murder of thirteen people and the wounding of over one hundred more people was most heinous and wicked. That jihadist Muslim who deliberately ran down and over all those people is a jihad –minded Muslim who was acting out according to the instructions contained in the “holy book” of Islam the Quran. For example, the Quran in Surah 9:123 instructs “O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you and let them find harshness in you…”
Let’s face it; intentionally running over people in a van is a very effective of showing people who are not Muslims “harshness.” Nevertheless, there are still some who, in spite of all the facts, claim that “Islam is a peaceful religion.” This claim has been proven to be blatantly false by the violet and deadly teaching of the Quran as well as by the behavior of many jihadist/Muslims who are inspired to inflect vicious murderous violence on people who are not Muslims.
In short, Islam is a religion of cruel, deadly violence.
Second, it also should be restated that regarding that brutal and murderous vehicle jihad attack in Barcelona, Spain, President Trump keyboarded “We will do whatever is necessary to help.” This, most likely, includes not only the sharing in intelligence information but , when appropriate the use strong force against those vicious and dangerous jihadists .For the power of might is the only language that those jihad-minded Muslims will understand. Likewise, about that deadly and malicious Islamic terror attack in Barcelona, Vice President Pence said “The US and out allies will find and punish those responsible for the terror attack…” Pence further spoke about “Eliminating Islamic terrorism from the earth.”
This reflects the wisdom of some of the words of Thomas Jefferson, who had declared “With every barbarous people…force is law.”
Bob says
Walter – the prolem is that the dhimmis who accept islam as a ‘religion’ of peace, have never taken the trouble actually to read the ‘holy’ koran! There can surely be no other excuse bar self-inflicted blindness to the truth!.

Time and again, as this article shows, one can not tell a peaceful Muslim from a radicalized one. Not even his parents can tell. The only difference seems to be the latter is willing to act according to his believes.
Savvy Kafir says
Right. And someone who’s a peaceful, “moderate” Muslim one day can easily morph into a “radical” jihadi who takes his or her religion more seriously.
That fact — along with the sticky business of taqiyya — makes it very difficult to trust any Muslim living in the West.
And for every violent jihadi, there are countless stealth jihadis & demographic jihadis pursuing the same goals via less dramatic (but much more effective) means.
Those are the facts. So what do we do about it?
Abu Al-Dente says
Of course this imam is a fraud! He indulged in drug trafficking, there’s no way he is a real muslim! He obviously missed all those sessions at Al-Azhar about peace and tolerance! It’s a conspiracy made for the sole purpose of ostracizing muslims I tell you!
Ciudadano says
But this is not the only instance of a radical Iman inspiring terrorists. There are many, many instances, all over the map, of Imans inciting violence and hate. Behind almost every terrorist attack there is an Iman or islamic cleric as the ideological leader. I mean you can trace back intolerance, hate and incitement to violence up to ayatollahs and important muftis.
What is surreal is that after every attack everybody is quick to condemn the radical cleric that everybody knew, but before the attacks these clerics seem to attrack many people.
epistemology says
Right, he never missed the time of his prayers and he didn’t miss any of his victims. There is obviously a correlation between Islamic praying and terrorism.
The imam is evidently a real and devout Muslim, as he follows the teachings of the unholy Koran which says “Kill the infidels wherever you find them”.
Cheers Abu al-Dente you can’t fool us, keep your conspiracy theories to yourself and talk your Islamic gobbledygook elsewhere.
Bob says
Indeed, you can trace “intolerance, hate and incitement to violence” right back to M himself and the koran! No question about it.
Ciudadano says
Also this story shows that time and again well known radical imans are allowed to continue preaching. Somehow after the attack the community is quick to condemn the radical Imam, but before the attack the community just tolerates the radical iman.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Then it stands to reason that one of two things are true:
1) The imam at the mosque is a perverter of Islam and misled the boy with his perversion, including the prayers he prescribed. The imam should be fired and maybe killed by Moslems for being a pervert.
or
2) What the boy was taught in the mosque includes invocations to commit mass murder.
I vote for number two, because commands to mass murder are there in the Holy Ko-Ran, and the Moslem prayers aren’t too Infidel-friendly either.
Benedict says
It is an indictment of the Qu’ran and Islam as a whole, that radicalization within this religion has the connotations it has. If Islam was a religion of peace why then do radicalized Muslims not become radical pacifists? The answer of cause is, that the fundamentals of Islam won’t permit such an interpretation; terrorism is the logical and corresponding reaction to Islamic radicalization.
As a contrast, a radicalized Christian who would use violence in order to evangelize the world, would eo ipso be an outrageous contradiction.
John A. Marre says
The more they practice their false religion, the more they kill non-believers. That fact is reason enough to outlaw Islam, the religion of death.
Guy Forester says
OK, I get now. Someone has started to pray like they never did before and then that person set out to kill others. So, does that mean we need to watch out for Buddhists that are frequenting the temple? I live near one of those. How about Christian prayer meetings? I live near a whole bunch of those. How about Jewish people that decide to become observant and now start Shabat with Friday prayers and then go to the synagogue Saturday morning? I hope don’t get a bunch of Hindus starting to pray on top of these others!

Ciudadano says
What is going on in Andalucia clearly shows the convinience alliance between the left and Islam. There is a strong segregationist movement in Andalucia supported by several lefty political parties including Podemos, Andalucia’s governor party.
Left Andalucia segregationist are allowing muslims to migrate irrestrictily because they need muslim vote in order to break the tie between “remainers” and segregationists. Andalucia goverment frequently bows down to muslims demands while at the same time using secularism to harrass catholics. For instance Podemos leaders congratulates muslims during Ramadan, while at the same time try to approve legislation to supress Holy Week holydays. Podemos has tried to confiscate famous catholic Cathedrals, while at the same time granting permission to build mega mosques.
In the other hand Qatar and other wealthy islamic countries are pouring money into Andalucia to build mosques and maddrazas. You bet many politicians and companies are rolling into islamic money. Is has been proven that Podemos has taken money from Islamic countries.
Ciudadano says
History repeats itself. The reason Muslims were able to conquer Spain many centuries ago was that they skillfully took advantage of the divisions among spanish christian kings who were more concerned of fighting among themselves and even allied with Muslims in order to fight other rival kings just to be latter conquered by their muslim allies.
Holo says
There is only one solution to put an end to all this barbarism: imams must be obliged to declare fatwas on terrorists. In addition, Islam must be reformed, removing from their sacred books all incitements to violence. E.g. in the Koran there is the command, “kill the infidels” over 100 times, which makes terrorists good Muslims.
FYI says
“He recently started praying in a regular way”
Yes,to allah,the islamic god who curses the Jews and the Christians.
That doesn’t actually constitute “prayer” at all because allah isn’t the same as God.
Rather than learn the koran by heart(a completely useless exercise),I suggest young muslim men learn that all-important Sixth Commandment by heart instead,you know the one that allah completely disagrees with {….and muslims don’t notice how strange that is..}
Now let’s say it together and repeat..
Thou Shalt Not Kill
Thou Shalt Not Kill..
RationalVoice says
Young men and boys can easily have their minds turned to evil by older men they believe and respect.We are programmed by nature to believe our parents initially(for safety reasons) and then by those we respect once we reach our teens and early twenties(the wisdom of our elders).Those who run religions and/or political movements know this very well and target the young to exploit their pliable minds.Normally this is focused into support for a football team,career or hobby but if a young guy gets influenced by an imam who emphasizes the aggressive nature of much of the Qur’an and is promised paradise and free love with 72 virgins(not available on planet Earth) we get these daily tragic occurrences all over the world.
There is no other solution other than to ban religions like islam which so regularly is able to turn the minds of the young to evil beliefs and practices and in particular the evil teachers who hide away from the sharp end of what they teach and are rarely brought to justice.
My message to these young guys is to think logically for themselves about the likelihood of any religion being remotely true in the light of today’s scientific knowledge and the absence of empirical evidence to support any religion including christianity
Don’t listen to those who have their own agenda but don’t put their own lives on the line.If you still feel the same at the age of say 30 years then you have not acquired either wisdom or common sense and you will probably be crushed by mainstream society like ,mad,rabid dogs to stop you killing innocent men,women and children as happened in Spain There will never be a caliphate again and false dictatorial religion will continue to sink into humanities dark history where it belongs !!!
Janakiraman Rajalakshmi says
Islam has always been anchored in violence towards non muslims.
How does one explain mohammedan invasion of Bharath ?
Which imam radicalized babur , aurangazeb , alauddin khilji , md ghori….?
Indian muslims are writing (sic) ” It is Jews of Israel who dressed up as muslims & killed to malign islam”.
They said so for 9/11. They said ” Hindus themselves set fire to Godhra Train coaches killing themselves to malign muslims”. Appeasers like laloo yadavs insisted Hindus died due to ”self combustible coaches”.
Today are repeating the same lies.
Gerrit says
In Islam, good boys are those who believe in jihad and die fighting for Allah.
