I think his story was (open to correction on specifics) that he went to Saudi Arabia and got caught selling drugs and got sent to jail for years. During that time he became a Salafist.
Previously to that he was an Irish guy with a regular background who wanted to work abroad for a few years as a nurse.
It obviously doesn't justify any of his subsequent actions and I'm not trying to take away how toxic certain branches of Islam can be. But the guy (as an armchair psychologist) had some sort of a complete psychotic breakdown and began being a disillusion crazy person (where just before that he was perfectly functional and 'normal')

Again, I'm not here to protect him in anyway, but he would make an interesting case study. How he broke down to such a level he lost his entire personality and took on a whole other one and brought this new identity to the absolute end. It's interesting to me, and sad of course.

interesting. I feel sorry for him mum and dad, friends and family but it sounds like their son died years ago.

Is that really the best idea he could come up with? What a prick.

For real? The guy was pure and utter scum. If there is a chink of light his family friends might see him for what he was and take another path as opposed to being a bigoted misogynist head hacker.

Nobody here knew the guy and it's unfair to speculate as to his character.

We all make mistakes in life. May he rest in peace now.

I prefer the rest in pieces but myself.

If this guy is who I think he is then 7 years ago he stated that his wish was for his then 10 year old son to become a martyr before maggaigeable age. That tells me all I need to know about his character

A curious day: maybe another little illusion, if it still exists, shattered i.e. Irish people would never do that. Naïveté isn't an option anymore and we need to expect more from those we elect to protect us.

A mistake is hitting on your sister in law while pissed up

Going off and joining a radical Islamic death cult and blowing your self up in the attempt to kill as many people as possible isn't a mistake. He chose that life himself, it wasn't like he woke up one morning after a piss up and found out he had joined ISIS for the crack.

buried

Frightening to think of it this morning but seeing as how this man like to court a lot of media publicity in this country through his extremist views, its a wonder he didn't sign himself up, or forward a plan to his superiors for staging an attack back on Irish soil. That would have brought his twisted celebrity notoriety up a notch or two. Maybe he was completely useless.

He is on record as saying women who disobey their husbands should be physically beaten, that drinkers should be executed as well as gays. He joined the barbaric Islamic State. No need for speculation he was an utter and total scumbag. I hope their is a nice piping hot spot in hell for this piece of filth.

I dont see how you feel sorry for him. If you google him, his full story is up on Wikipedia. He was making a lot of money as a nurse and decided to start distilling alcohol in Saudi and was sent to prison for 8 months. I find it extremely weird from the start, that he didnt live in a Western compound. Most Westerners try to stay as far away from the craziness that is Saudi Arabia, instead he choose to live in the middle of it


Anyone with any cop on knows you dont touch drugs/alcohol in Saudi Arabia, never mind sell them(well unless you live in a Western compound, they tend to turn a blind eye to alcohol). If you move to a **** show of a country where they behead, cane and cut off body parts as they feel for the sake of it. If you are a women and show too much skin, they will cane you openly in the street.

As a nurse, he would have seen and dealt first hand with what a surreal country is like if you kill someone in a car accident your family can choose between a cash payment from the killer or having him executed. I don't see how he taught he could get away with selling alcohol in that hole, unless he had a superiority complex from the beginning thinking as a westerner they would let him off lightly for selling alcohol

His wikipedia page if entirely true is really disturbing. He claims he went from opposing Islam to within 4 weeks embracing it. This quote is seriously ****ed up

“Before Islam, I didn’t know the meaning of love. I used to be like other British young men, drinking and going out, but when I read the Quran in 2000, whilst in jail, I felt a huge surge of compassion and sympathy. I feel now that what led me to Islam was God’s mercy and sympathy. It’s something bigger than myself and I can’t explain it with words.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khalid_Kelly

He went from embracing a religion of compassion and sympathy to becoming a member of the Taliban within a few years. I dont think this issues started before going to Saudi. I just feel sorry that he has two sons who have had to live with their nut job father dragging them on missions

I hear he's in bits about it. Really torn up. All over the place.

That's all those yankees backed terrorists can do. Great victory for Iraq, Syria and Iran and the biggest loss for USA since Vietnam. Seems that USA and Israel will not start any war against Russia.

Seems that poor aul' Taliban Terry's death was as pointless as his life...

"His suicide bombing appears to have had little impact on the advance into Mosul. The Shia militia known as the Popular Mobilization Units captured the village on Friday afternoon, shortly after Kelly blew himself up."

In 2002 Kelly was deported to Britain where he allegedly soon began attending sermons by the radical preacher Omar Bakri Muhammad.[from wiki


Why was he deported to Britain ?

I dunno. The crater couldn't be THAT deep, could it?

beks101

Just watched this 2010 US doc about his life as a radicalised muslim in London and then Pakistan after he fled England.

The guy was a certified nutjob, there's such an inevitability to how it would end after watching this. Angry, deluded, brainwashed, full of his own shyte.

I know a few journalists who met him when he was back in Ireland around 2011, talking crap about killing Obama, he was well-known for his shyting on and they thought he was all talk. He certainly had the gift of the gab anyway the fcuker.

I'd say there'll be some chat about him at Garda HQ and the Directorate of Military Intelligence today. Did they even know he was in Iraq?

Jawgap

Abu Osama Ireland????

You'd think a proper Irish jihadi would be called Abdul Abhaile?

......and if he's going to be a suicide bomber maybe he should be Abu Osama Smidiríní?

Probably sent to the nearest EU country with a direct flight to / from Saudi Arabia.

The flying mouse

In November 2016 he was reported to have blown himself up on the orders of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) during the Battle of Mosul (2016).[4]

Its updated now.

Does anyone think here that he was brave to die in what he believed in ? He was a soldier in ISIS, and died fighting for them ?

I am just asking about this instance.

Sounds like it alright. He was in a prison in a hellhole and his brain was given a way out. Once he went down that rabbit hole he kept falling.
