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

Islamic State’s first executioner was bricklayer from London who was reported dead in 2013, is still alive

Nov 23, 2018 9:59 am By Robert Spencer

The fact that he was reported dead and is still alive is interesting, but another question that British authorities have no interest in whatsoever is this: where did Ali Almanasfi learn about Islam? Why did a bricklayer from London decide to go to Syria and join the Islamic State? Has his Muslim community in London been investigated? Has his mosque been investigated? The answer to the last two questions is almost certainly no. The British authorities wouldn’t want to do anything so “Islamophobic.” When Sharia is fully imposed in Britain and they’re making their first jizya payment, they can congratulate themselves that during the time of transition of Britain from being a free society to being a Sharia state, they were never, even for a moment, “Islamophobic.”

“ISIS’s first executioner who shot victim in the back of the head is revealed to be former London trainee bricklayer who STILL lives in Syria despite stories he was killed in 2013,” by George Martin, Mailonline, November 19, 2018:

A west London bricklayer thought to have been killed while fighting for ISIS in Syria has been outed as one of the death cult’s most famous executioners.

Ali Almanasfi, 28, who was assumed dead after an ambush by Syrian government forces back in 2013, is still alive and living in the war-torn country – according to his family.

Scores of his friends and relatives also told ITV News that the Almanasfi was the man responsible for a brutal execution tape released by the Islamic State in 2014.

In the propaganda clip filmed in the ISIS stronghold of Raqqa, the masked killer can be seen firing his pistol into the head of a hostage, before shooting his dying body more than a dozen times.

The clip is notable for being the first ever in a series of gory propaganda beheadings released by ISIS and is thought to be the first killing by a British citizen during the Syrian conflict.

The footage was posted online in the spring of 2014 by a group of British fighters in Syria called Rayat al Tawheed, or ‘Banner of God’ – an affiliate of Islamic State group.

A year before the clip was released, Almanasfi was reported dead by Syrian state TV after government forces discovered his passport in a jihadi vehicle after an ambush six years ago.

But the former trainee bricklayer from west London is thought to have survived the attack and is now married with children in Syria – according to his brother.

Almanasfi had his British citizenship revoked by the Home Office last year, a move which his brother says means he will ‘die there’….

    Die there, we in the West should be so lucky, he will get a new identity and march into some other country as a refugee, maybe Germany or France and set up shop there . The welfare is good and the living is easy for refugees with fake or no paperwork on them in Northern Europe. He could fake his death a second time just to make his cover better for reentering and Jihad warfare against the West

    “Islamic State’s first executioner was bricklayer from London…..”

    Obviously someone must have given him a copy of the local scaffolding regulations from the 1500’s or 1600’s, because he seems to have got a completely outdated idea of what you’re supposed to do on top of it once it’s up.

    Ali Almanasfi should be tried for crimes against humanity.

      Yes Mortimer , as long as the outcome will be : death-sentence , very slowly and extremely painful ( maybe with an old rusty saw ? ) .

    Britain Is Threatened By Something That Does Not Exist

    Patriots like Golding, Fransen and Robinson get put in jail, while their government steadfastly ignores the reasons Ali Almanasfi from London is a vicious Islamic State executioner. To investigate why Ali fights in Syria for the Caliphate would be “Islamophobic.”

    There are about 800 returned jihadis in the UK and the government openly admits they don’t know where they are.
    Then there is Asia Bibi…….
