Grandson of Nigerian-born United Kingdom immigrant featured in ISIS video

He doesn’t know anything.

As the Guardian reported, Dare said the Islamic State is “just using a small boy”.

The Daily Mail reported that Grace swapped a comfortable life in Britain, where she was known for her dimples and her love of her mother’s home cooking, for the horror of Syria.

In the video, which has not yet been independently verified, the child says that the group will kill “kuffar” – nonbelievers – “over there”, referring to the West, while the adult threatens and insults British Prime Minister David Cameron.

The media have already dubbed him a successor to Jihadi John, the previous British executioner, who was revealed to be Mohammed Emwazi.

The boy makes a fleeting appearance at the end of the 10-minute video.

After the apparent killings, the young boy seen in the video wearing military-style clothing reportedly points into the distance and talks about killing the “unbelievers”.

Victoria, who is described as a devout Christian is said to have moved to London from Nigeria 28 years ago told of her despair about the behaviour of her daughter Grace, now 24, who changed her name to “Khadija” after converting to Islam.

Soon after the birth of Isa, whose name is an Arabic version of Jesus, she split from her husband, and made her way to Syria to become a jihadi bride in a marriage arranged by her new husband’s mother, whom she met via Facebook.

Isa Dare’s grandfather condemned the depths plunged by the terrorist organisation last night and said that the boy was being “used as a shield”. In 2014, she posted a photograph of her son, then 4-years-old, on her personal Twitter, that showed him smiling while holding an AK-47.

A Foreign Office spokesman said: “We are aware of the video and are studying its contents”. A council spokesman told the Standard: “We are in liaison with police and are deeply concerned that there may be any connection between these abhorrent acts and our community”. It features some of the group’s motifs, such as the jumpsuits and the use of children to further its propaganda goals, as well as its slick production values.

Judges heard cases of 12 families who observers feared were at risk of adopting extremist religious views and planned to bring their children to areas controlled by ISIS. Assistant commissioner and senior counter terrorism officer Mark Rowley said some children were “almost babes in arms”.

London Mayor Boris Johnson said that the boy’s involvement in the jihadi video was “heartbreaking” and amounted to “child abuse”.

Mr Johnson told LBC radio: “It’s heart-breaking what’s happening to that kid”.

For children in a war zone, the Islamic State has an allure.

She added: “I also note that, unlike the Jihadi John video, the movements of the speaker’s jaw are much more discernible”.

But just before he tried to get to neighbouring Turkey ahead of travelling to Syria, his family pleaded with him not to go telling him it was too unsafe.

“That joy is taken away from me which is very devastating”.
