Yet again we see it: a convert to Islam gets the idea, which we are always told by non-Muslim authorities in the West is a misunderstanding of Islam, that his new religion commands him to commit treason and mass murder. Authorities remain completely uninterested in why the teachers of the Religion of Peace so frequently fail to impart that peace to new converts, as well as in why those converts all misunderstand Islam in exactly the same way.
“Hollywood director’s British son who converted to Islam and joined al-Qaeda calls for more recruits to join him in Syria in new propaganda video,” by Matthew Acton, Mailonline, February 5, 2018 (thanks to Robert):
The white British son of a film director who converted to Islam to join al-Qaeda in Syria has called for more recruits to join him in a new propaganda video.
In the footage, London-born Lucas Kinney, 26, addresses the camera in Arabic as he stands in front of a group of jihadi fighters.
The 26-year-old encourages people to join him in the war against President Assad’s government forces.
He is the only member of the group who leaves his face uncovered.
Kinney has become a figurehead of the Syrian al-Qaeda-linked group Jabhat al-Nusra, and has starred in several propaganda videos posted online under the nom de guerre Abu Basir al-Britani.
The first white British convert to emerge in Syria, as a Home Counties schoolboy he took holy communion at a Roman Catholic church and attended Catholic primary and secondary schools. As a teenager, he even spoke of being a priest.
His father Patrick, 59, worked closely with Steven Spielberg on films including Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade and was assistant director on a long series of blockbusters.
Pictured in his teens, Lucas was educated in Cairo before briefly attending the University of Leeds. He dropped out of his course in Arabic and Middle Eastern studies at the end of first year
Mother Deborah Phipps, 53, who was divorced from Lucas’s father when he was still at primary school, told yesterday of her dread that her son will be the next Briton killed by a RAF drone strike or in a Russian bombardment, and her fears that he might become a suicide bomber.
Mrs Phipps, who receives occasional emails from her son, is at a loss to explain how he went from a bright, normal teenager to a Muslim fanatic.
After leaving school he attended Leeds University but dropped out after a year. He played in a series of rock bands then went to live with his father in Vienna. It was there that he is believed to have been radicalised.
He is now a figurehead of the Syrian al-Qaeda-linked group Jabhat al-Nusra, and has starred in two propaganda videos posted online under the nom de guerre Abu Basir al-Britani.
Mrs Phipps, who now lives with her second husband in a honey stone executive home in the West Country, with a smart Jaguar parked outside, told the Mail her jihadi son faces continual danger.
Threats include rival Islamists Islamic State – who could capture him as a British trophy – as well as the Syrian army and Russian bombers, and also from RAF drones which have been used to assassinate UK jihadis there.
Mrs Phipps said: ‘Lucas is a target. I’m glad he’s associated with al-Qaeda rather than IS, but obviously I worry.
‘On Mother’s Day last year I spoke to his father and he told me he thought our son was dead because there was a picture of him on the internet lying on a bed in Syria and you couldn’t tell if he was alive.
‘Later that day we found out he wasn’t dead but was seriously injured. He’d been struck by a mortar so his arm basically was hanging off. He had to have a big operation and he said he wouldn’t be able to fight for about 18 months.
‘I last heard from him recently. I don’t get anything for months and months and then all of a sudden I get an email and every time I think, ‘Well, at least he’s still alive’. That’s the relief.
‘He’s married out there. I don’t know anything about her. They don’t have any children as far as I know, but this is recent, the last few months.
‘We just want him to come home. If he’s done something wrong I’d like him to accept the consequences. He’s still young – and at least he’s still alive.’
Most British jihadis in Syria are born Muslims of overseas descent – but the existence of a white convert only emerged online several months ago in the two Jabhat al-Nusra videos presented by ‘Abu Basir al-Britani’. Not until today has he been exposed as Lucas Kinney.
Bespectacled, calm and well-spoken, he sounds very much England-born as he talks about the atrocities being carried out by Jabhat al-Nusra’s rivals ISIS. Both films are journalistic in style in contrast to the crude attempts at visual terror in IS videos.
One of Kinney’s professionally produced videos is entitled ‘So the Way of the Criminals Will Become Clear’.
In it, he visits the scene of an IS attack on a mosque in a Jabhat al-Nusra area of Syria, but adds with the faith of a fervent convert that the ‘good thing’ for his murdered ‘brothers’ is that ‘Allah chose to take them in a very good time. He gave them an honourable death’.
Referring to Islamic State, Kinney says the group ‘is not deserving of that name’.
His broadcasts are designed to encourage other Britons to join his al-Qaeda group in Syria, a criminal offence in Britain….
Linde Barrera says
Everyone mentioned in this article, in my opinion, is a loser. Demonic, demented, disgusting Islam.
mortimer says
MESSAGE TO POPE FRANCIS: Lucas Kinney is a HIGHLY PRIVILEGED APOSTATE from YOUR CHURCH.
With respect, Your Holiness, I repeat these words: “IT’S THE IDEOLOGY, STUPID!”
Islam contains a COMPULSORY DOCTRINE of JIHAD WARFARE AGAINST DISBELIEVERS.
No one can RE-WRITE, REVISE, CORRECT or REFORM Islam, because the Koran claims that Islam is ‘COMPLETE, PERFECT and ETERNAL’. Thus, Islam cannot be changed from the VIOLENT WARRIOR CULT that is actually is.

Wonderful points!! To your point that “No one can RE-WRITE, REVISE, CORRECT or REFORM Islam, because the Koran claims that Islam is ‘COMPLETE, PERFECT and ETERNAL’. Thus, Islam cannot be changed from the VIOLENT WARRIOR CULT that is actually is.”, Pope Francis and his immediate predecessors have increasingly re-written, revised, corrected and reformed’ the Holy Church tot he point where it is hardly recognizable in many respects. They have even re-written the Bible. I say this as a traditional Catholic, who is seeing his 2,000-year-old faith obliterated day by day. The result is a void quickly being filled by Islam.
Frankly, from this article, I think the Brits should temporarily ignore the son and drone his mother! Hollywood has been pushing Islam for a long time. The hit movie, Dune (based on a book of the same name) is ISIS all the way. For those of you have not seen it or read the book, it is about a dessert planet with very little water which is being exploited by different planets because it holds a material necessary for them to run their vehicles through outer space (think Mideastern oil). The hero is a young man whom they name Mahadib – Think Mahdi – the figure Muslims are awaiting to lead Islam to conquest. The other name given to this young man is Usol, which the film says means “The Strength at the Base of the Pillar”. That word for that in Arabic is al Quida. Please forgive my misspelling. I am writing from memory and do not speak Arabic … and hope I never have to!

Once again- So much for the lack of opportunities, jobs, etc. being a lead cause of these poor, young, wayward souls being recruited and/or drawn into “extremism”, indoctrinated by “perverted interpretations” or “twisted versions” of islam, and ultimately “radicalized”..
“Mrs Phipps said: ‘Lucas is a target. I’m glad he’s associated with al-qaeda, rather than IS”.
Glad… Ha!
Sounds like she knows quite a bit about these two comparable organizations (cat s**t vs. dog s**t).
I would imagine young “Abu Basr” must have had some degree of support from his parents throughout this whole undertaking.
Scumbags!
WorkingClassPost says
So how do they choose which gang to join and how do they find them, are there street signs in Turkey with arrows pointing ‘ISIS this way’, ‘al-nusra here’, ‘al-quaeda 76 km’?
Surely without good directions these idiots would all get lost?
Jack Diamond says
“If he’s done something wrong…” she also says.
While he was supposedly converted in Vienna, it is interesting to follow the arc of where the family (mom and stepdad, an airline manager) after her divorce from Patrick, moves to: Saudi Arabia, Cairo, and Islamabad. Before dropping out of the University of Leeds the son was already focused on “Arabic and Middle Eastern Studies.”
Lucas Kinney played in a rock band called “Hannah Has Herpes.” Obviously, his taste in diseases just grew more ambitious.
gravenimage says
Yes–it would be interesting to know what was behind all of that. One or two places might just be where his step-dad was stationed–but all of them, combined with his studies in college, and it seemed he got at least some of his Islamophilia at home.

A new convert is on fire with his new religion. He learns everything he can about it, and seeks to put it all into practice, with a fervor far surpassing that of longtime believers.
He understands fully what it is that his new-found faith commands him to do, and goes into action almost immediately.
Careful attention should be paid to this behavior, since it reveals the true nature of the religion.
Michael says
Baptised and an apostate to the Islamic State.

We don’t kill apostates. The idea that the “standard penalty” is burning is grotesque. What are you babbling about? What calumny against Catholics. People leave the Catholic Church all the time.
His joining a Jihad terror group is a different matter, though.

The worst that can be said for one who leaves the fold of Christ’s sheep, is that of being consigned to the care of the devil. There are no temporal punishments.

Note that Communists did not support the Iranian Fascists as at least one comment on Jihadwatch says… In 1979. It was Stalinists of the Tudeh Party and other revisionists of Marxism and they have blood of innocents on their hands. The Stalinists had a lot ofblood on their hands as an article in Wikipedia shows. Nevertheless I support Jihadwatch defending the protesters against this savage regime
http://trotskyist.org/torture-to-death-iran-of-protesters/
eduardo odraude says
Felix,
Your distinction between Stalinists on the one hand and communists and Marxists on the other is far too sharply drawn. There were very substantial authoritarian strands in Marx’s teaching, even though he also proposed in a purely symbolic way (without any practical path laid out) the withering away of the state. This is not to say there is nothing of value in Marx’s thought. But he was an idiot on the question of political authority, and the fact remains that communism, in part because of Marx’s authoritarian teachings, has the blood of over 100 million people on its hands due to the crimes of the Soviet Union, China, Cambodia, and other nations. No other kind of government in history — with the exception of the Islamic kind — is guilty of so much murder of its own peoples. As a source of practical organization, Marx and the communists have been utterly discredited, or should have been by anyone who has a working conscience. If you want to see a more cooperative social order, look to new forms of more cooperative capitalism (like Mondragon and certified B corps), not to communism or socialism, which, at best, maximize corruption and conflicts of interest by amalgamating business and government.
eduardo odraude says
I guess one should not be completely surprised if a mother is loyal to her son no matter what he does. But if a Brit had joined the Nazis during World War II, how would his mother have reacted, and how would Brits have expected her to react? Would they have tolerated such statements as made by this mom of an Al Qaeda boy? Man, you know things are messed up when the existence of ISIS makes even Al Qaeda look almost moderate…

Good questions EO.

Phil Copson says
How do you pick a side among this lot ? If he and his mates are fighting ISIS – the article describes them as “rivals” – and they stick to killing each other rather than the civilian population, then frankly – who cares ?
And if he succeeds in killing any of those blood-thirsty generals/leaders* on the Syrian side responsible for the appalling chemical attacks and the shelling of civilian areas – then I’d say he was doing the right thing.
Nobody’s wearing a white hat out there – the “least worst” option is the best that can be hoped for.

So true. It is like Muslim troll claiming that all of his Jihad rivals are secretly “Zionists”.
Gjallarhornet says
The problem with the West is evident in the Article. Nowhere is there a mention of the fact that this young Englishman has, indeed, committed *treason’.
This is not intended as an outraged yell – Traitor! – but a mere pointing out that, legally, that’s what he has done. He has joined a terrorist organization, he is fighting as an illegal combatant in a foreign country, he is fighting in a group that fights – illegally – the British army. His group ignore all codes of warfare rule they are able to Etc. etc. In short – every act of treason you can imagine,
Yet the article seems to look high and low for … sympathy, and motive. In my view all that just be discarded. No sympathy or trying to understand the mind of the combatant convert is necessary. Just judge and sentence them for what they to, which is exactly – treason.
Why this sympathy?This young man is – a traitor. Since when did the world turn upside down and right became wrong?

And then lie awake at night till they come back around
Please come to Aleppo

Now this Jihadi ‘s world goes ’round and ’round
And I doubt that it’s ever gonna stop
The Crusaders keep putting me to ground
And all that I ain’t got
I still need to lean to
Somebody I can sing to
Please come to Hollywood to live in Jannah
Kalifornia life alone is just too hard to build a khilāfah
I live in a manzil that looks out over the ocean
And there’s some stars that fell from the crescent moon sky
Livin’ it up in Jannah
Please come to Hollywood
She just said “no, Hollywood is haraam, won’t you come home to me?”
And she said, “Hey ramblin’ mujahid won’t ya settle down

“Abu Basir al-Britani”
With all their “al amrikis” and “al britanis”, the muslims using these western converts only show how little they recognize and value them. They don’t even bother to arabize their home towns, or some distinguishing feature about them….the only thing that matters is that they are from the west, the great satan.
Personally, i’d be offended if the best they could come up with was another surname like “al canadi” or something. Is that all i am to you people, i would think.

Sort of like how modern Hawaiian names and words got into modern lexicon.
Silly really. Missionaries heard “sound alike” words, and up came a new Hawaiian “lingo”….
So that now, we have “Hawaiian” words which might as well mean something very different than intended or just gobbledygook.
Such as, for example, Kimo would be a name translation for Jim/James, but it really is an amalgam of sounds taken from the Hawaiian language, akin to little in actuality.
So, it would indeed be a shame to call CANADA “Canadi” as an example.
Let’s hope they (Islamic Missionaries) don’t get much of a chance!

Yes, LeftisruiningCanada–the “Al Amrikis” and “Al Britanis” are perverse.
And you seem to be joking about “Al Canadi”, but I’m afraid this sobriquet has already been used by at least one Jihadist:

What do you expect? Islam has strong support among the arts and humanities crowd.
FYI says
Converting to allah’s islam is easy as it attracts the morally weak,the intellectually limited and the spiritually challenged.
Finding God however,requires Wisdom to differentiate between allah and God.
{…allah is NOT the God of the Bible..}
Wisdom is something that is beyond the capacity of the convert to islam.If you compare and contrast allah versus God,islam’s warped amoral teachings versus God’s moral Commandments,the life of muhammed versus the Life of Christ(or any Biblical prophet)…..then you should be able to see exactly why islam is in error,the koran is theologically incorrect ,why muhammed is no prophet and why allah is NOT the same as the God of Moses.
It requires wisdom and understanding;concepts that are completely lost on the idiot converts to islam.
If you convert to islam know this:-
1.You are not suddenly free to break God’s Commandments just because allah in his koran says you can …as many converts seem to think.{“isn’t this great?Now i’m a muslim I’m free to indulge in polygamy,lie,steal and commit murder and so long as I “pray” to allah 5 times a day,I am sure to be rewarded in paradise!”}
2.You won’t get this but..the One who will judge your soul will be Jewish.
{yes,despite the curious fact that allah hates the Jews..}
3.You won’t get this either but..Your religious devotions,fasting and “prayers” mean nothing to God anyway.That’s actually NOT what the true God is looking for..
4 oh,and you really won’t get this but .. there is no salvation anyway in your conversion to islam:you will reap what you sow by your foolish choice!
5 if you are a black convert to islam…..I hate to have to break it to you..but your “prophet” muhammed{sahih muslim 3901} is recording as SELLING BLACK people into slavery…two blacks for the price of one non-black slave…I guess you’ll just have to ignore that part,eh?
If you a Jewish convert to islam :shame on you!
If you are a Christian convert to islam:you know you can’t expect salvation,right?
Choose God or allah.
{The Biblical True Judeo-Christian God} versus {the koranic counterfeit islamic allah}
Choose God{not allah}: the way of the commandments(which allah disagrees with!)
or
Choose allah{not God} the warped way of the koran and the despicable example of the “prophet” muhammed: a mass -murderer
“If the lord is God
follow Him
but if baal{allah} be your god
then follow him”
I kings 18 v 21
Choose allah and you can expect to be the chaff in God’ Justice.
Those who choose allah over God… ..
“They will perish because they did not WELCOME and LOVE the Truth so as to be saved.And So God sends the power of error in them so that they believe what is false”
2 thessalonians 2 v 10-11
We see the “power of error” in islam in its OPPOSITION to the Biblical Judeo-Christian God,in its warping of God’s Laws and in the complete absence of the 2 chief commandments of God(which are found precisely ..NOWHERE.. in islam!).
We see the “power of error” in the idiotic converts to islam who cannot differentiate between God and allah.
The reason allah exists in opposition to the Biblical God has to do with freedom of choice:The true God allows you freedom to choose.Those who love the truth will follow the Biblical God and OBEY His commandments.
Those who submit to the “power of error”{which is permitted by God as He respects our free will}will suffer the fate given above in 2 Thess 2.
Jew or Christian,you are therefore advised to stay on the Biblical side of the fence.
If you convert to islam you will be shown to be an idiot in the judgement of your soul.
Remember,you cannot fool God.
