Britain Offered Home to Syrian Family of Killer Who Repaid the Favour in Cold Blood
4th October 2025
A day after Jihad al-Shamie had driven his car at speed at Jewish worshippers and then stabbed at them in a frenzied, murderous assault, his father posted on Facebook a short statement expressing his “profound shock”.
In a 124-word statement, Faraj al-Shamie said he and his family “strongly condemns this heinous act, which targeted peaceful, innocent civilians”. It was a show of contrition seemingly fitting of a Syrian-born doctor who has spent years working overseas as a trauma surgeon, often in hostile environments.
Except that on Oct 7 2023, in the hours after Hamas terrorists stormed Israel and slaughtered almost 1,200 people and took 250 civilians and soldiers hostage, the father appeared to show not a shred of humanity for the Jewish victims of that atrocity.
On the same Facebook page where he said how sorry he was about the Manchester attack, he had posted, some two years earlier, praise for the Hamas fighters, describing them as “Allah’s men on earth”.
He didn’t stop there. The armed militants who had infiltrated the Jewish state on motorbikes and paragliders had “proved beyond a shadow of a doubt” that Israel would eventually be destroyed, he went on.
As long as Islam exists, ‘jihadis’ will be a problem. It’s been that way for 1400 years, and there is no indication that it will change. Whether our Ruling Class will continue prating how ‘peaceful’ Muslims are while ignoring the mass murder, or whether they will wake up and decide to do something about it, is an exercise left for the reader.
