Suspected Copenhagen gunman reportedly swore fidelity to Islamic State
[Ynet] In a post on what is believed to be Omar El-Hussein's Facebook profile, he pledges allegiance to IS leader His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us...
'in full obedience in the good and bad things'.
Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein, the gunnies suspected of killing two people in Copenhagen over the weekend, allegedly swore allegiance to Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, CNN reported on Tuesdays.
In a post on what is apparently el-Hussein's Facebook page just before the shooting spree in the Danish capital, he pledges "allegiance to Abu Bakr in full obedience in the good and bad things. And I won't dispute with him unless it is an outrageous disbelief."
El-Hussein, 22, who was identified as the gunnies by a senior Danish government member, was killed in a shootout with police early Sunday morning.
The suspect shooter was known to police precisely because of his connections to gangs. El-Hussein was convicted two months ago of a violent assault against a commuter on a train in 2013, and was said to have been released from prison just two weeks ago after serving a term for aggravated assault - raising fears he may have become radicalized behind bars.
Local media said he was the son of Paleostinian immigrants who argued aggressively about the Israel-Paleostinian conflict, had a short fuse, but had not shown signs of radicalization that could lead to an attack.
Dozens of bouquets of flowers were left outside a building in the neighbourhood of Noerrebro where El-Hussein was rubbed out on Monday.
Four young men wearing hooded tops and with their faces covered later came to move the bouquets, saying it was un-Islamic to leave flowers for deaths. They said they were from Mjoelerparken, the same area as El-Hussein, where many residents are immigrants. One of the men, identifying himself only as Mohammed, said: "He was a good guy. He wasn't a terrorist. It's Denmark, the United States and Israel who are the terrorists."
That's certainly one view. |
