Upset Granddad of ‘Jihadi Junior’ Begs Terrorist Daughter to Bring Him Home

Sunday Henry Dare, the granddad of the English child, Isa, who was seen vowing to kill Westerners on an IS murder video has blasted the boy’s mum for letting him take part in the sick stunt, Mirror reports. Sunday Dare begged daughter Grace, who changed her name to Khadijah after converting to Islam and fleeing to Syria in 2012, to bring the young boy home from the war-torn country.

The grandfather said he recognized his grandson the moment he saw him at the end of a video in which British IS terror suspect Siddhartha Dhar, dubbed Jihadi John II, ordered the execution of five men accused of being British spies.

The Nigerian immigrant parent of Grace the British Jihadi Bride who is the mother of ‘Jihadi Junior’ reportedly said,

“It’s propaganda. They are just using a small boy. He doesn’t know anything, he’s a small boy. They are just using him as a shield.
It’s my grandson. I can’t disown him. I know him very well.”

The worried granddad also spoke about the boy’s mother, 24-year-old Khadijah, who left her home in Deptford, South East London with Isa and married a Swedish IS fighter, Sunday revealed that he had spoken to his daughter recently but also said,

“I keep on ignoring her calls because she has brought shame on to our family and to herself. My grandson doesn’t like it over there. I don’t trust her. I don’t want to be beheaded if I visit her over there.”

Asked what should happen to Khadijah, who has another son called Abdur Rahman said to be four, if she returns, he responded, “Let her face the music first.”

A neighbour spoke for Khadijah’s mum, Oyenike, who refused to comment about the video, the neighbour said,

“She is absolutely shocked by everything that has happened with her daughter and completely beside herself with worry. No doubt she will be even more concerned if her grandchildren are being put in danger.”

However, not long after Khadijah had fled to Syria, her mother Oyenike had reportedly said that,

“I want her back in my life. She is the only child that I have and the devil took her away. She loved church. She had a Bible, she read the Bible. She would just sit there and pray and pray and pray.
When she became Muslim, I would get these phone calls saying, ‘Can I speak to Khadijah?’ I said to her, what’s that about? She says, ‘Oh, that’s my name.’ It was only the mosque people who called her Khadijah. I don’t call her that. I still call her our Grace.”

Her British daughter had been brought up a Catholic. But soon after attending college she abandoned her Christian upbringing and comfortable family life for the killing fields of Syria. Khadijah is understood to have listened to sermons at the Lewisham Islamic Centre not far from her home for at least a year before she fled to Syria.
