Sad
I feel bad for all the parents who lost sons & daughters to Isis. But especially the ones who had no idea that their kid was even thinking about it. My good friend lost her eldest son to murder by a thug gang banger. He felt "disrespected" so he murdered her son on his 21st birthday. The grief she felt was palpable. But to not get a body back? I can't begin to understand that level of grief.
Bet he's done nothing about the racist grooming gangs that only target young white girls in uk. No doubt anyone reading this comment will pass me off as racist rather than face the truth
Racism? He grew up in an area where white people are not allowed. Who's the racist?
Very sad 😔 😟
What an absolute tragedy.
I'm sad for the mother but we don't know what rashid did with ISIS.
I wish they had wiped out all the radical content right when it came out. They messed up so many families in the west. These people don't need to have a platform to seduce kids. I feel bad for the families.
God is with you aunty dont worry
There is a no word for s parent who lost their child. The last sentence that - how dare you to take such wonderful boy and recruit for yourself hits differently. He was child. That age is easily manipulative. Still end results we can't argue on it. Filled up with lot of sorrow smd regret
My heart is broken... 💔💔💔
this video seems to be the only true representation of what being affected by terrorism is like
I'm not Muslim but knowing my people getting killed by isis every day, this saddens me. she must be in pain.. God bless her
Yeah they don't know anything about islam islam is a peace religion , all muslims reject terrorism they act like they are muslims , but they will just go to the hell it's mostly their fault that islamophobia exist.
She’s a lovely lady
Oh god. Please heal her.
I knew you, in my eyes you were a boy who I spoke with many times, a kind boy, a well behaved boy. I knew your father, he was a kind and gentle man. I spoke to you about your future (apprenticeships in electrical engineering). If only I knew back then, this would happen. I was the adult. I could have stopped this.
So sad...i hope the mother stay strong
It’s so sad how so many young people are brainwashed to go join isis and he had his whole life ahead of him. I feel so sorry for the mother, I can’t imagine the amount pain she had and is going through
Strongest female I've ever seen on this planet
This so heartbreaking. He would have a better life ahead of him with his beautiful family..
He has a great mother. May God bless her soul.
I can't believe how peoples mind can be easily brainwashed to become a terrorist. I'm so sad they turned into bloody killers. why the fuck would you join ISIS? whyyyyyy
At one point he did realised what he did was wrong
I'm sorry for what happened to your son..may Allah help this strong mother..so sad that this boy was brainwashed..may Allah guide us all to the right path ya rab 🙏
Truly sorry for her.
Im not a Muslim, but I think it must be said that Muslims dont want people to join ISIS.
Yeah islam is a peace religion , all muslims reject terrorism they act like they are muslims , but they will just go to the hell , they don't know anything about islam it's mostly their fault that islamophobia exist.
So sad!
The editing in this video is awful
GREAT WATCH HERE "FROM GANGS TO GOD" BY RON HALVERSON TRUE AMAZING POWERFUL STORY FROM THE BRONX CONEY ISLAND ENJOY 🙏🏿❤️🙏🏿
You join isis, that’s what happens
I feel like this isn't helpful at all
It shall never be well with isis leaders they deceived many people they are lying this is not Islam ☪️ I fell so sad for Western youths they are deceived by isis -look when you convert to Islam learn more before you jump into something and regrets at end/ isis deceived may people around the world 🌍 they deceived them
Abbey wood boys are active
Ayyy Hezron u were in my school and ur story was surprisingly inspiring thank u!
Guys a legend. Came to my school a week ago, absolutely love him! Glad to see him getting the recognition he deserves!
He came to my school such a great guy! 😁😎👍😇😇😇
He came to my school on the 3rd of February
This is sad 😭
Holy fuck this is so depressing
ISIS knows young people will do anything with the promise of attention, clout,likes,and money. Sorry she lost her only son that is devastating, I too only one son he's over 30 and I'm happy he is still here safe with me.
Nothing hurt as much as when somebody hurt your child.....
The boy was a victim of ISIS deception . Quite pathetic. May God console you, strong lady
Thats why kids need to actually know the news and war like me. I am 13
ISIS are criminals and stupid islam is a peace religion , all muslims reject terrorism they act like they are muslims , but they will just go to the hell , they don't know anything about islam it's mostly their fault that islamophobia exist.
Wow! I am in awe of her strength and the grace she approached all of this heartache with.
If I did such a thing ( which I never will , because I have logical thinking) , my parents would disown me because this is not what your parents bring u up to do. You r supposed to Know what's right and wrong. U have a brain for a reason. U can't blame the parents here at all.
Why the f**k do young ppl think isis is trendy?
What a fool he wasted his own life and hurt his mom for what?! Paradise? As a Muslim if going to Paradise was all about killing people and becoming a terrorist I would surely choose hell over paradise but I'm sure that Islam does not tell anybody to do such thing and if it does I wouldn't be following it, this poor kid was just brainwashed into believing lies that were made by smart people and being smart doesn't make a you good person it's about how you use your knowledge that determines what type of a person you are
what a good mother
In shallah she gets peace
These ppl are merely brainwashed . This is too simplistic of an explanation . It's the same with ppl who join a cult; society wants to portray them as loons but this is a cop out. They actively choose a setting to better their own lives by changing and controlling their environment . Ppl don't joking cults they join a new way of life ; the underlying reasons and motivations are complex and must be appreciated and understood on their own terms.
