Brit who fled UK and Morrisons job for life with ISIS says terrorists ‘force children to kill… otherwise they become cowards’
A BRITISH recruiter for ISIS has boasted of training kids up to become brutal killers from an early age to stop them “growing up to be cowards”.
A disturbing picture snapped shortly after former Morrison’s security guard Omar Hussain’s arrival in Syria in 2014 shows him with children holding up machine guns.
Hussain, who now calls himself Abu Saeed al Britani, told the why ISIS start training kids to be killers from a young age.
The former High Wycombe local, nicknamed the "Supermarket Jihadi", said: “To be honest… many kids nowadays would probably faint seeing a cow get butchered, so it's a way of bringing them up not to fear war.”
At one stage in the interview, he insisted he would happily raise his own kids to be killers if he were to have any.
Referring to harrowing videos of the extremists torturing prisoners, Hussain continued: “We use some innovative ways don't we?
“Killing enemies and broadcasting it is a way for us to show our enemies what their end fate will be if we capture them.”
Hussain’s identity was unveiled shortly after he fled the UK two years ago, at which point it also became apparent police had let him travel to Syria despite him being known to officials.
As the jihadi was questioned at Heathrow, police raided his house.

He was re-arrested a few weeks later at his house, only to be released the following day without charge, before making his way to Syria.
Hussain told the Star extremist views would give ISIS an advantage on the battlefield if British troops were to be fully deployed there.
He said: “We fight with the aim of dying.
“As we say, death brings us to paradise.
“So when it gets rough we don't shake.
“But the British troops don't believe in an afterlife.”
Hussain has been in hot water with ISIS recently after sending out unauthorised messages on encrypted app Telegram, which is the social media platform of choice for jihadis.
The terror group threatened Hussain with “serious repercussions” after he urged would-be jihadis to travel to Libya, where he is based, as opposed to Syria.
Hussain also ran a blog sharing potential British recruits tips for avoiding detection.
