Little bit more about the terrorist :

"It is understood Al-Shamie, 35, grew up on Delaunays Road in Crumpsall, with his two brothers and parents"

"A YouTube account linked to his father hosts a series of home videos from the boys' north Manchester upbringing.

One shows a nativity at Crumpsall Lane Primary School, while another shows a visitor to the family's then-home on Delaunays Road in 1995."

And his marriage:

That's odd, to not tell family about a marriage.

Hope she is not involved and is okay.

Confusing, as the DT has a story about a white Muslim convert widow being arrested'...... 'Police arrested a 43-year-old man, a 46-year-old woman and an 18-year-old girl at the address in Bolton' - saying that is understood the woman, who works in the healthcare sector.

The age doesn't match 'Elizabeth Davis, 35' so could be someone else or DT has made an error.

Despicable IMO

There is ofcourse more to "this family"... then a shocked statement about
"shocked about what happened" instead of "what my son jihad" did.

His son carried out an terror attack, on soil where a lot of people want to live in safety and shelter.

The morning after this cowardly terror act of his son, I saw a lot of his Fb posting and I do really think, he knew, what his son was going to do.

There was one post, that looked like a threat to Israel, posted a few days before the terror attack.
MOO

Father of Manchester terrorist called for Israel's destruction: 'Israel - a sworn enemy', 'Hamas - people of God'​

Naturalized British citizen Dr. Faraj al-Shami often posted on social media his support for Hamas and terrorist organizations, celebrated the Oct. 7 massacre and praised the terrorists: 'What they did - a miracle by all standards'; But he condemned the murderous attack carried out by his son on Yom Kippur: 'Shocked by what happened'​

Even if he didn't know, not a great role model of a Father IMO.
