This reminds me of the Deghayes family who live near Brighton. Dad jailed for inciting violence, three sonsdead either fighting in Syria or involved in drug dealing and a fourth still in Syria:

What a son this father had ..yesterdays attack plus said son being on bail for a rape allegation. Our country does not need this type of shit inhabiting it period.

Sure. We don’t have any white fathers who have sons who are rapists. 🙄 What do you propose we do with all of those (that number being many magnitudes higher) Where do you want to “deport” white rapists to? Are you suggesting our laws are also updated to bring legal action against the parents of any adult person committing a sexual crime?

I knew there would be people on here trying to defend and justify the anti-semitic terrorist murder of Jews peacefully praying in their synagogue.

Shame on all of you who can't see this for what it is.

Deport everyone who doesn't want to live by British values. Stop inviting them in and giving them homes and money. The terrorist living in a London council house and ordering attacks on Jews... why is he here? What the fuck are we doing?

Define “British Values”?

We do indeed - we don't need extra ones. Especially not the ones who murder Jews.

BalloonLabboon · 04/10/2025 15:08

@BoredZeldawe can’t do anything about white British born rapists. So, that means according to you, we should be happy to have non-British rapists come in. The more the merrier? This guy is also a terrorist now too.

Like someone said earlier, this country gave him and his family refuge and this is their contribution to that country?

As a non-white British person, I just sit back and laugh at mostly white people falling over themselves to defend people like this because they’re terrified of being called racist.

Its ok to not want more rapists and terrorists being brought over here.

Why would anyone think we could deport native criminals? To where?

Not hard to see how he was radicalised, then.

I wonder who radicalised Netanyahu?

Perhaps when his brother was killed releasing Jewish hostages from palestinian hijackers in Entebbe. Could have been some sort of turning point I suppose.

Equality for women. Religious tolerance. Safety for Jewish people. Anti racism. Acceptance of homosexuality. To name but a few.

The whole family should be deported. We do not want these people in our country.

Native criminals are our problem. Those born elsewhere and given refuge are not our problem and should be removed at pace.

Deport.

I'm pretty sure it's been reported that he has six children, @wrongthinker, so it's a fair bet he'll claim his right to a family life would be compromised by expulsion

His statement regarding his son commiting terrorism yesterday

"The news from Manchester regarding the terrorist attack targeting a Jewish synagogue has been a profound shock to us.
“The al-Shamie family in the UK and abroad strongly condemns this heinous act, which targeted peaceful, innocent civilians. We fully distance ourselves from this attack and express our deep shock and sorrow over what has happened. Our hearts and thoughts are with the victims and their families, and we pray for their strength and comfort.
“We kindly request that all media outlets respect the family’s privacy during this very difficult time and refrain from using this tragic event in any context that does not reflect the truth. May God have mercy on the innocent victims, and we pray for the swift recovery of the injured.”

Seems quite contradictory doesn't it?

Yeah yeah yeah. Do fck off. You named your son Jihad. 🤮

In the 90's when he came to London, hamas was not proscribed as a terrorist group (that was 2021 I think). Obviously a lot has happened since then and I was quite interested in this now seemingly prescient book.

Some people can spot warning signs, some would rather ignore them. For...reasons. It's almost Darwinian.

I can’t read the link, but the report I read said he shared a post that appeared to praise the attacks. When I read the text of the post, it doesn’t read that way to me.

Let’s focus on the guy who perpetrated the attack, rather than deciding anyone else is to blame with only hearsay to go on. Rest assured, the security services will be all over the backgrounds of anyone he associated with to ensure they pose no risk.

The scenes broadcast by the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades of a group of fighters storming an occupation army camp with simple means - balloons and motorcycles - prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Israel will not remain.

Men like these prove they are God's men on earth, and regardless of who leads them, this is the true compass for men confident of their victory even if their means are limited... As for you, men of the Levant, the wicked among you and the good among you will soon be made clear, take good care of your weapons and aim them accurately at your brothers.

And don't forget that you disobeyed your Lord's command, so you did not hold together and you dispersed to the bottom of the abyss. May God protect Palestine and its heroic people. God bless you and may He bless you with true men from the lineage of true men.

This was the father's Facebook statement. You claim you can't see how this is praise? How would you describe this post then?

I'm finding the name thing interesting. I grew up and lived for decades in a part of the country with a large Muslim population and have never come across a Muslim male called Jihad. And yet today I discover it's actually really common and normal. Hmm.

And yes, I'm aware of the meaning of Jihad.

Some years ago I taught English to a great many young adult males in Oman, and I never came across that given name, either.

Yeah, that’s not the argument you think it is. Let’s not pretend any of this is about protecting women. Or Jews for that matter. Just be honest with yourself.

That’s not something the security services engage in, some would argue their use of profiling goes the other way. But in any event, they stop more threats than most are aware of so fair to say they generally know what they are doing.

This does not surprise me. I know he claimed he condemned his sons actions but I doubted it. Someone with views so extreme they carry out a hate crime likely wasn’t created in a vacuum.

They're trying to say you're racist for not wanting rapists and murderers to come here. Trying to imply that you have no problem with rapists and murderers as long as they're white and British. They think this is a clever argument - not sure why!
