Here are some of the noteworthy details about these young men’s jihad preacher father Abu Hamza, indicating where his sons may have gotten their world view:
- He was “convicted in the UK in 2006 of charges including soliciting murder and possessing terrorist handbooks following a £1million trial.”
- A court was told in 2004 that “Abu Hamza is a leading member of a ‘global conspiracy to wage war on the West.’”
- Abu Hamza “was finally extradited to New York in 2012 after a long-running battle over whether he would face the death penalty or torture in America.” He was convicted by a US court and “sentenced after being found guilty of 11 terror charges, including providing a satellite phone and advice to Yemeni militants who kidnapped Western tourists in 1998 – and plotting to set up an al Qaeda training camp in Oregon.”
- Abu Hamza not only devoted his life to violent jihad, but “jumped at every chance to support jihad.” As far as he was concerned, “fighting, shooting, kidnapping, killing” were all mandatory, all justified in the cause of jihad, so it’s obvious why he’d be in solitary confinement, as the spread of the jihad ideology is a serious problem in American jails, and in fact in all Western jails.

In 2020, Abu Hamza was reported to be suing US authorities over his “rotting teeth,” no halal diet and “degrading” conditions in jail.
While jihadists are regarded in Western culture as “criminals” and are often described as having “mental health issues,” they are not driven by “mental illness” or criminality, but by the jihad ideology, which feeds their zeal and actions. In the view of jihadis and their supporters, they are heroes, and martyrs when they die in the cause of Allah.
Abu Hamza raised his family in the jihad ideology (as many do). The family members may also preach and recruit for jihad in jail.
“Hook-handed hate preacher’s TOXIC family: Abu Hamza’s seven sons are all criminals or extremists who have clocked up 40 years in jail between them (and the whole clan has cost taxpayers £10MILLION),” by Paul Bracchi, Daily Mail, January 14, 2022:
Career crook Tito ibn Sheikh appeared in the dock at Southwark Crown Court this week.
But his crime — plotting to launder hundreds of thousands of pounds of stolen money for which he was sentenced to nearly four years — was perhaps less shocking than his notorious family background.
He was born Hamza Mustafa Kamel before changing his name to Tito ibn Sheikh, which roughly translated means ‘son of a venerable man’ in Arabic.
This could not be a less appropriate title in the circumstances.
His father — the so-called ‘venerable man’ — is Abu Hamza, the infamous ‘hook-handed’ cleric of Finsbury Park mosque who is now serving life without the possibility of parole in the U.S. for terror offences there and in the UK.
Tito ibn Sheikh, as he is now, is one of Abu Hamza’s six sons.
Four of them have criminal convictions for offences including terrorism, armed robbery, drug dealing, fraud and burglary, and the remaining two have a track record of Islamic extremism.
Every one of them, in other words, has been a blight on this country.
Between them — and a seventh stepbrother — they have collectively chalked up 40 years in British jails and, along with Abu Hamza, have cost the British taxpayer millions in legal aid, benefits, healthcare and prison stays.
Could there be a more toxic family anywhere in the country, or anyone who has exploited the system more ruthlessly than the Hamzas?
This is the real scandal behind the latest conviction of 35-year-old Tito ibn Sheikh.
The money laundering scheme involved opening bank accounts with false identities — with the help of a corrupt HSBC official — to ‘wash’ £342,000 of ‘dirty money’ made through thefts and fraud.
At the time, Tito ibn Sheikh was on licence following his release from a 12-year prison term for leading a gang who kidnapped a man and tortured him over a £15,000 debt almost a decade ago.
The victim was knifed, battered with a metal bar and wooden cosh and nearly strangled to death.
‘His neck was squeezed so hard he thought his tongue would pop out,’ is how the prosecution described a particularly brutal aspect of his three-day ordeal.
Tito ibn Sheikh was also jailed for two-and-a-half years in 2009 for being part of a gang which stole 32 luxury cars worth more than £1 million……
Few could have possibly imagined the mark he and his as yet unborn sons would leave on the UK.
Hamza had one son with his first wife, Valerie Traverso, and five with his second, Najat Mostafa.
Najat still lives in a Victorian terrace that sits on a quiet gentrified street in Shepherd’s Bush, West London, where the Hamzas have been since the mid-1990s.
The bay-fronted property, painted magnolia, with security cameras, either side of the front door, pointing at visitors, is owned by Hammersmith and Fulham council.
The family of Hamza, who was sentenced to seven years for inciting race hate and murder in 2006 and extradited to the U.S. on terrorism charges in 2012, received state handouts, including housing and child benefit, which totalled more than £33,000 a year at one point……
Fitna says
Muslims are too expensive to allow in the West, from paying them welfare, health care, free hotels on the taxpayer dime, to the cost of their criminality including rape, theft, fraud, terrorism, keeping them in jail, paying for their lawyers, then the cost of helping their victims, the infrastructure they destroy, etc.
Perhaps even worse is the damage they do to our freedoms and way of life. The stirring up of racial hatred, spreading disharmony among communities, then worst of all, trying to force us to live by their religious laws, replacing democracy with Islam, it never ends.
Let them preach hate against the West from their countries, we don’t need or want them here and in fact unlike most immigrants who come here and are loyal, hardworking, play by our rules and contribute to society, Muslims are a net detriment, they drain our resources and create problems we didn’t have before.
Melc says
Why are governments not enforcing more robust action sfainst these know crazies? It is only the Islamist fanatics who cause social dystopia.
Set an example and meet their violence and anti social fanaticism with robust harsh treatment that will make them think twice and see we are not a soft touch society.
gravenimage says
All grimly true, Fitna. Good post.
Fitna says
Thanks Graven, I wish Muslims could’ve been like other communities which might’ve had a few troublemakers but eventually the integrated, say like the Italians, Irish and other groups.
However we’re dealing with a totally different animal, as they hate us, have no plan to join our way of life but to take over, so unfortunately we have to treat them as our enemy.
But each Muslim makes that choice to be loyal to the West or Islam, they could’ve accepted the better life here and not join ISIS or try to turn our nation into the hellhole they came from but most Muslims choose Islam so we have no choice but to oppose them until we win.
gravenimage says
Absolutely. Important points. No other group is systematically taught to hate the very people giving them asylum.
Fitna says
Indeed Graven Islam is also a religion of ingrates who are proud to leech off us, as Anjem Choudary demonstrated who considered welfare to be a ‘jihad-seekers allowance.’ They think we’re their slaves and Allah put us here to serve them hand and foot.
Everything they do and are, is the opposite of being a good, contributing member of society (minus the exceptions ofc). What more do Muslims need to do for people to get the message that they really don’t belong in free, tolerant, western nations?
gravenimage says
Yes–pious Muslims disdain productive labor, which they consider fit only for slaves. In the canonical texts of Islam Mulims are told to live off Infidels–to enslave them, take Jizya, kidnap and ransom them, demand tribute–and today we can add living off welfare and foreign aid. There is a Hadith wich describes Muslims working as having abandoned their religion and that Allah will cause them to suffer disgrace:
Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar:
I heard the Messenger of Allah, (ﷺ) say: When you enter into the inah transaction, hold the tails of oxen, are pleased with agriculture, and give up conducting jihad (struggle in the way of Allah). Allah will make disgrace prevail over you, and will not withdraw it until you return to your original religion.

Fitna says
Well said Graven, Muslims want a free ride in life off our backs. Considering pedo-Moh was a slaver, it’s fitting he’d instruct his followers to behave as he did and mooch off non-Muslims.
One ugly dark secret (which isn’t so well hidden) is that slavery is still very rampant in the Muslim world today and the West continues to ignore it, while millions of innocents suffer. There’s no greater evil on this planet than Islam.
I hope in 30-40 years when I’m old, I will be around to see a genuine fight back against Islam. If it happens I’ll die a happy man.
Ofc there’s always the hope that it will happen much sooner-but unfortunately evil, cowardly, traitorous people are in charge and they’re helping Islam to get the upper hand on us. So it looks like things will get much, much worse before we see a turnaround, if ever.
Fitna says
@Melc,
Islam is an extremist ideology, most of them are fanatics if they follow the teachings as prescribed.
As for the weak reaction by western leaders, the problem is that most of them are completely uneducated on Islam so to them a Muslim is like a Christian or Hindu, etc all the same.
So when Muslims behave badly since not 100% of them are acting that way, they just assume it’s a ‘tiny minority’ so they play wack-a-mole and think they solved the problem until the next rape-gang they discover or a terrorist attack. That sadly is also the view of Leftists for the same reason.
For those who know better, they’re either cowards or are in denial, or simply don’t want to stick their neck out to save their country.
I agree with you, we need to get far, far tough and give Muslims no quarter. So far we’ve gone in the wrong direction. The more dangerous and threatening the Muslims are, the weaker our leaders response, including lighter sentences for their heinous crimes.
That’s why sometimes it takes a strong leader (or group) to cause the change we need to see. Unfortunately at this point, few of them have ‘woken up’ so the status quo will just continue to deteriorate until either things get so bad we get the real backlash Muslims have been complaining or in fact that society crumbles and they vote themselves into power and declare western nations to be Islamic states.
In a way the worse it gets the better for us, since each new incident that puts Muslims in a bad light just causes more people to turn against them. So I’m an optimist, the West has dealt with even worse evil that was powerful like Nazism and we defeated them. I think the same will happen to Islam in the end.
I mean I rapidly figured out what Islam was all about after 9/11 and after debating with evil Muslims online, so I’m sure that ‘lightbulb’ moment can happen to others, since most people have average intelligence and that’s all that is needed to learn about this ideology.
mortimer says
Partial agreement with Fitna: there is a ‘Muslim tax’ payable because Muslims use TAQIYYA and JIHAD in their relations with the dirty KUFAAR.
However, most Muslims are not different from other North American middle class families. They seriously pursue the ‘American dream’ and are well-educated for the most part. These people have something to lose if they go jihading or if their children do.
Most Muslims in the West disapprove of jihad in their homes, unlike jihad preacher father Abu Hamza who gave his seven sons their PASSION for JIHADISM.
This shows that if your PREACH JIHAD … you then GET JIHAD.
James Lincoln says
mortimer says,
“…most Muslims are not different from other North American middle class families.”
Except for the fact that they, in varying degrees, support islam: a totalitarian religious/political ideology whose goal is to impose sharia law throughout the world.
That makes them very different.
Fitna says
Going to have to disagree with you Mortimer. Many polls of Muslims show the vast majority of them do hold radical views, like support for the death penalty for apostasy, virtually 100% opposition to gays, 25% support for suicide bombing/terrorism, those are not small numbers.
And as James L pointed out below, while most Muslims might not be involved in terrorism, most of them do support Islamic fascism. What’s their goal? To spread Islam throughout the world, otherwise they wouldn’t be Muslims.
But I also want to be fair because I’ve known very liberal Muslims myself who’ve pretty much left Islam….I’ve converted a few personally to Atheism. So on that we can agree that there are some wonderful Muslims who are not a threat to us. We need a very detailed vetting process to weed out the good from the bad and deport the bad ones.

Mortimer, over half of Muslims in the United States openly admit they want to see Shari’ah law imposed here. The idea that this is not different from other North American families is *quite mistaken*.
somehistory says
Handouts come easy to those who commit crimes…of all kinds, from illegal entry to murder.
The rest of us, who work hard, try to save and be thrifty, get nothing for the taxes paid…not even a sense of security because we are aware that the criminals are on the streets, and living high on the hog….even mozlum terrorists….having money to spend on more terrorism.
It’s a twisted world in which we live….idiots and demons in control.

UK: Jailed jihad preacher’s seven sons are all criminals or jihadis, cost taxpayers $13,582,800
……………
*Good lord*. And yet, I should not be surprised.
Leaving aside the human suffering, just look at that price tag. Even here, you often find posters opining that Muslims are “cheap labor”. But so often Muslims not only do not work, but who also cost the nations who foolishly bring them in an absolute fortune. Think how much good that money could do in the hands of Britons if they didn’t have to fight against Jihad and Muslim crime.
Fitna says
Well said Graven…knowing how stupid and evil our leaders our, that extra money would end up in their pockets, or thrown down the black hole of Islamic or other loser countries and we’d get no benefits.
I mean ideally if we had good leaders, it’d be poured into fixing roads, health care, helping the poor/mentally ill but even without Islam we still have evil to deal with in many non-Muslims. Sigh.
gravenimage says
Fitna, at this point I’d prefer to see it lining pols’ pockets than having to go for Islam. (Of course, while we have Muslims here we do have to defend against Jihad).
Fitna says
Lol, good point Graven, you’re right…that’s still way better than going to Islamic fascists. The lesser of two evils.
gravenimage says
Yep.
European pagan says
If this ugly pirate has wives and children than there is hope for the ugliest men too ?? I see his picture and I will have nightmares.
gravenimage says
European pagan, so many Muslim marriages are forced marriages, so maybe not…
But in this specific case, a British convert to Islam married him–he may not have been so hideous back in 1980. They had a son, and he kidnapped the boy and took him to Egypt. According to his stepdaughter he married her in order to gain citizenship in the UK. Later they divorced and he married a woman with a Muslim name–so probably not a convert.

…digesting England by the “pound”… Excerpt from the song by Genesis, Dancing With the Moonlit Knight.
Did this song foretell the present financial burden of allowing the followers of the
proto-nazi ideaology of Islam to live among us?
OLD GUY says
Why would any sane person in charge of immigration want to allow any muslim/islamic person into your country? They bring nothing but trouble and expense to the tax paying people of the country they invade.
Close our borders to the enemy invasion from muslims/islamics.
Lenny Leaps In says
If these guys hate the West so much I have a solution: go live in a Muslim country and do not venture to the West ever again. Simple!

Lenny, pious Muslims want to turn the West and all of Dar-al-Harb into more Islamic crap holes.
