In a little-noticed video, Anzorov’s father said that with the beheading, “the debt of all Muslims will be settled”. The interview, broadcast before the summer, was hardly noticed by the media, but a few days after the tribute to Samuel Paty, it contains interesting information about the teacher’s murderer, Abdoullakh Anzorov. In particular, on his support from the jihadist scene and from his family, who no longer live in France.
Last June, a Chechen Salafist blogger published on social media an interview with Abdulakh Anzorov’s father, Abouyezid, that lasted almost an hour and a half.Abouyezid Anzorov states that in early October 2020, his son became aware of a video “sent by an imam of a local mosque” denouncing Samuel Paty. This appears to refer to the video circulated by Abdelhakim Sefrioui, who claimed to be a member of a “Council of Imams of France”. The terrorist’s father added that this “imam” referred in his video to “apparently unsuccessful attempts by Muslims to take legal action against images that are offensive to Muslim believers”. However, in his video, Abdelhakim Sefrioui makes the following accusation: “For five to six years, Muslim children aged 12 to 13 have been bullied, assaulted and humiliated in front of their friends.
“Abdullakh watched this video,” Abouyezid Anzorov continues, “he couldn’t stand it and ran to the kitchen to tell his mother. His mother cursed those who draw the cartoons and replied that it was not in our power, that it was our job to pray.” Abdoullakh also showed the video to his brother, but not to his father, a security guard who was then working in a city other than Évreux, where the family lived. The father then spoke of his son who, without family pressure, had started praying at 5 years of age and fasting at 7 years of age, a “good son for his parents” who ” followed Chechen traditions and behaviour”. There was no fanaticism in him,” adds Abuyezid Anzorov. I educated him to love Allah more than his parents.Le Figaro
