A few days ago it was reported that Omar Bakri’s son Mohammed was  executed by ISIS for ‘apostasy’, having gone to Syria to fight with Isis. Omar Bakri is currently in a Lebanese prison. He just got an extra six years added to his sentence.

The comments under the article I read about Mohammed’s death said: ‘LMFAO !’ and ‘I do love these occasional good news stories’ and ‘I hope he suffered!  S-C-U-M-B-A-G!’ And so on. You can imagine.

I found the whole thing desperately sad, because I met Mohammed twenty years ago, when he was just a boy. I filmed him for the documentary I made, with Saul Dibb, about his father. Here’s Mohammed when he was a boy.
