Gang-style tats on Yusuf Ibrahim
Reader comment on item: Jihad or Criminality?
Submitted by Dana Garcia (United States), Feb 25, 2013 at 02:24
Don't jihadists regard tattoos as un-Islamic? His style of executing his crime was definitely Muslim, but the gangster tats make me wonder about his motive.
