Political Pursuit

Origin of Islamic Extremism
Although the reasoning behind his sudden interest in Islam and eventual extremism. His hatred seems to have been a result of political differences early on in defemce of him converting to become muslim. Hesh had been consistently attempting to indoctrinate others in order to build up support for his political agenda including the failed attempt to convert his younger brother. This led to trouble with the school who found him handing out stickers of the islamic state and their messages. As a result they were confiscated and he was excluded for promoting terrorism and although it was assumed that it was part of a joke. Hesh made it clear that it was truly what he believed in and was born to spread the faith.

Whilst he was excluded he found a group online whom he shared many ideas with and that group was associated with ISIS which he soon met up with in person. From there he attempted to become a prominent member of their organisation and was responsible helping set up the Manchester Arena Bombing on 22nd May 2017.
