British Muslim Convert Thomas Evans Dies Fighting for al-Shabab in Kenya

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


There comes a point when we need to ask ourselves: “What’s more important, the lives lost in the name of Islam or the feelings of those who defend it?” So far, politicians and the media are convinced that the feelings of Muslims are far more important than those killed in the name of Allah.

BBC—The mother of a British man killed while fighting for Islamist militant group al-Shabab in Kenya has told the BBC her “whole world has fallen apart”.

Sally Evans, from Buckinghamshire, said a journalist had phoned to tell them Muslim convert Thomas, 25, had died.

Her other son Michael said that when he looked on Twitter, the first thing he found was a picture of Thomas’s body.

“We remember him as being my brother, your son,” he told the BBC. “But to everyone else he’s just a terrorist.”

Kenyan officials have confirmed that Thomas Evans was killed on Sunday when al-Shabab fighters attacked a military base in the north of the country.

Militants armed with AK47s and grenades raided the base in Lamu County, close to the Somali border, and then stormed a nearby village.

Eleven gunmen were killed in total and two Kenyan soldiers also died.

Evans, who had changed his name to Abdul Hakim, contacted his family in 2012 to say he had travelled to Somalia to join the militant group.

At least 50 British citizens are believed to have joined al-Shabab, an al-Qaeda affiliate based in Somalia, which has been behind a series of high-profile attacks in Kenya and Somalia.

Ms Evans, from Wooburn Green, said she would remember her son as “the little boy who had a bright future before he went down the path he went down”.

She said he had met “some people with some very twisted, warped ideas of Islam” in the local area to begin with, and was later influenced by online material. (Continue Reading.)

Notice that even after her son dies fighting for Allah, Sally Evans defends Islam by claiming that her son’s martyrdom was due to a “twisted, warped” idea of Islam. Of course, that “twisted, warped” view is exactly what we find in Islam’s most trusted sources. Here’s what Islam teaches about fighting unbelievers:
