ISIS Brutal Life And Video Filled With Propaganda by Godjone(m): 6:16pm On May 01, 2016 |
As a convoy of Isis vehicles travels down a desert road, a young man proudly carries the black flag of jihad as he stands surrounded by Kalashnikov-wielding militants. In slow motion, he leads the stream of fighters to a clearing where they go on to call on their fellow Europeans to join their jihad, before shooting two prisoners dead. The man carrying the banner is Harry Sarfo, a former Royal Mail postman who went to school and converted to Islam in London, before entering a spiral of radicalisation that would eventually see him training as an Isis fighter in Syria. The 27-year-old, who is currently in prison awaiting trial on terror charges after fleeing the group’s brutal regime, said the bloody reality was far from the jihadist fantasy presented in the videos that initially attracted him. Harry Sarfo's appearance in an Isis propaganda video issued in August 2015, where two prisoners were executed by militants calling for terror attacks in the West In a wide-ranging interview conducted with The Independent via his lawyer, he described his experience appearing in one of the group's notorious execution films. “When they speak in their videos with weapons, it feels like they're calling you. We need you here! Our brothers and sisters need you! We bring peace, dignity and honour!” he said. “But in reality it is all a lie - most videos are staged. People are telling other people to kill but themselves they don't fight at all. It's like a movie, everyone is playing their role.” In the film Sarfo appeared in, titled Tourism in this Community, he was shown sitting in dappled sunlight among other fighters as a German militant vowed revenge on his home country for the Afghanistan war and urged followers to join them in Syria or launch attacks in Europe. “If you cannot make hijrah to the Islamic State, then seek jihad in Germany,” a jihadist named as Yamin A Z tells the camera in German. “Strike the infidels in their own homes, kill them wherever you find them.” The video showed Mohamed Mahmoud (pictured) and another miliant killing two militants in Palmyra (YouTube) The next scene shows Yamin and Mohamed Mahmoud, an Islamist from Austria, standing over two kneeling prisoners in the ancient ruins of Palmyra, which have since been re- captured by Syrian government forces. Vowing revenge on German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Mahmoud orders viewers to “pick up a big knife, go down to the streets and slaughter every infidel you encounter”. He and Yamin then shoot both prisoners in the head with automatic rifles. Sarfo, who was born in Germany but grew up in the UK, insists he never personally killed anyone but described witnessing countless executions and atrocities while being trained as a member of Isis’s “special forces” in Raqqa from April to July last year. He recalled seeing six men shot in the head with Kalashnikovs and watching a man having his hand being chopped off and being forced to hold it in his remaining hand. “Brother killing brothers - it is not just un- Islamic, it is inhuman,” he said. “A blood-related brother killed his own brother on suspicion of being a spy. Isis gave him the order to kill him. Friends killing friends.” Source: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/former-isis-militant-harry-sarfo-uk-reveals-reality-of-staged-propaganda-videos-and-brutal-life-a6982831.html |
