Khadijah Kamara , mother of teenage British Jihadist Ibrahim Kamara,19, killed in Syria urged other teenagers not to follow in her ‘brainwashed’ son’s footsteps.
She also demanded to know why airport officials had not stopped him, given that his passport had expired and he had stolen his 15-year-old brother’s. She said: ‘They look nothing like each other.’
According to her, Ibrahim had been a diligent GCSE student in the East Sussex city, and ‘obedient’ boy until he fell under the spell of the Deghayes brothers – three nephews of former Guantanamo Bay inmate Omar Deghayes whom they travelled to Syria together.
‘He was a normal respectful boy. He had friends at school. He was studying IT and wanted to become an engineer.’
‘No one should think what he did was right, and no one should follow him,he was brainwashed, and it happened very quickly. She said.
She said , Ibrahim in the past year had begun to defy her and come home late and in October 2013, he moved out into his own flat in Brighton .She believes this was the time he was plotting with the Deghayes brothers to go to Syria.
‘These are the boys that he listens to. He didn’t listen to his mother or his brothers. He must have been brainwashed.
‘They all went off together in January.
‘His passport was expired so he went up into my room and got the passport of his 15-year-old brother.
‘It makes me wonder about the border control people because they look nothing like each other. Why they got away with that, I don’t know.’
‘I was very angry and disappointed when he told me he was in Syria. I hate the idea of war.
‘I’m upset that he would listen to these people and not to his mother or his brothers who care for him.
‘War is the answer to nothing. No religion tells anyone to fight.
‘I pray that God forgives him. I forgive him – he’s only human and we all make mistakes.’ Mrs Kamara said.
Culled.
