BOOTED OUT OF ISIS – FOR WEARING TRAINERS

- By BRAD CHADWICK news@ sundayspor­t. co. uk

A TEARFUL British Muslim last night told how he was sent packing by terror group ISIS – because he was wearing bargain basement TRAINERS!

Mohammed Aboud, formerly a supermarke­t shelf- stacker called Brian Grant, travelled to Syria via Turkey to join up.

As Sunday Sport reported in June last year, Aboud was identified as Britain’s CRAPPEST jihadi export by spooks at MI5.

Derision

But when he finally got to Syria and attempted to join an ISIS fighting unit in northern Iraq, he was greeted by hoots of derision by his fanatical co- religionis­ts.

Now back in his home town of Rhyl, north Wales, Aboud, 24, sobbed: “The ISIS commanders laughed at me because I could not grow a beard. It’s not my fault – I LAUGHING STOCK: Mo ( left) was laughed out of ISIS camp for his Aldi budget footwear have a skin complaint.

“Then they started pointing and sniggering at my trainers, asking where I got them. I said I paid £ 19.99 for them at Aldi. They almost fell on the floor laughing at me.

“They said proper ISIS fighters wore the top Nike or Adidas gear. I don’t have the money for that. And I fail to see how expensive pumps make me any more committed to Allah, May He be glorified and exalted.

“Then they knocked the turban off my head and booted me up the bum when I bent down to pick it up.

“If that’s the way ISIS treat volunteers, they can stick their jihad up their arses.”

Last night a spokesman for ISIS said: “We have worked hard to build our brand over recent years and if we have fighters going into battle with cheap supermarke­t trainers, we would be a laughing stock.” OLD STORY: How we broke news last year
