The
devastated grandmother of the British boy dubbed “Jihadi Junior” after he
featured in a sickening ISIS video said she ‘can’t deal’ with what has happened
to her grandson.
Victoria Dare revealed she hasn’t seen lsa for three
years since she dropped him and her Muslim convert daughter Grace off at the
airport three years ago, believing they were going for a short holiday in Egypt
or Turkey.
But
having seen the harrowing video in which Isa, now four, was paraded in military
fatigues and an ISIS propaganda bandana, she said she believed it was him.
Victoria
said: “It’s a long time, nearly three years, and he must have grown up. But the
eye balls, the eye lashes, then the mouth, the lips… so it looks like Isa.”

But
showing her conflicting emotions, she told the BBC: “I am not taking it as my
grandson in that situation. I can’t deal with this situation, so I am not
looking at this as if it is my grandson.”
She added: “Naturally it is my grandson [but] this is not
what God gave me.”
Victoria,
a devout Christian who moved to London from Nigeria 28 years ago, told of her
despair about the behaviour of her daughter Grace, now 24, who changed her name
to ‘Khadija’ after converting to Islam.
She told
the BBC’s One Show: ‘She was born here and she grew up here until everything
fell apart. Her name is Grace. I don’t know where they’ve got all these names.

“She
changed her name to Khadija when she became Muslim. I still call her Grace,”
she said.
Despite
Victoria said she would still take back Grace, who is understood to have had
another child since leaving Britain, and Isa, adding: ‘I feel very unhappy
because I miss them a lot.
“That joy
was taken away from me which is really devastating”.
Her
confirmation of the boy’s identity came 24 hours after Isa’s grandfather said
the toddler had recently begged him: “Please save me.”
Henry
Dare, also 59, said Isa made the harrowing plea over the phone from Syria,
where his mother has become one of the terror group’s most notorious jihadi
brides.

In the ten-minute
video released on Sunday, which shows the execution of five men accused of
being spies for the UK, Isa says: “We will kill the kaffir (non-believers) over
there.”
According
to the BBC, Mrs Dare only realised her grandson was in the video yesterday as
she does not follow the news closely.
