Young Tunisian's journey from dowdy suburb to French church beheading

Though he was arrested for knife crime four years ago as a teenager, and had given up drugs and alcohol and taken up prayer, Aouissaoui was not on any Tunisian or French list of suspected jihadists, police in both countries said. They had not seen Aouissaoui, 21, since September when he boarded a small boat for Lampedusa, the Italian island that is a main arrival point for immigrants to Europe.

He phoned his family to say he had left Italy. “You are not educated. You don’t know the language. Why did you go there?,” his mother Gamra said. “‘Mum, pray for me’,” he had replied. Tunisia has for years battled a jihadist security threat, though police have grown more effective. Jihadist attacks in Tunisia in recent years have mainly been carried out by people radicalised online rather than in mosques, diplomats say.

Will Europe become Islamic territory in the future? Probably.

Deport him and all others who invade our Europe. They are not wanted because they demand everything for free and dictate that we must change our way of life to suit them because they find our lifestyle offensive. TOUGH.

OMG he have nine siblings ....

Multicultural open borders all the way huh?!! Viva L'UN

Based on that picture I’d guess it took a long time

Bloody hell, the Tunisian youngsters look old.

I love Johnny Flynn but he looks and sounds like something from an SNL skit here, in a production that resembles a first-year film studies project This really does look shocking. Bad accent, poor storyline and no actual Bowie music? Cashing in on the music bio and you mange to screw it up
