How my hate-filled family spawned Merah the monster

Interesting thoughts on the upbringing of the Tolouse Killer Merah from his brother here in the Independent

Abdelghani Merah, 36, says the youngest of his four siblings was raised in an "atmosphere of racism and hatred" but also of violence and neglect.

He accuses his father, a convicted drug-dealer, of repeated child-beating and his mother of neglect. But he blames Mohamed's attraction to the teachings of extremist and anti-Semitic Islam mostly on his own sister, Souad, and brother, Abdelkader.

In the documentary on the M6 TV channel, Souad was seen and heard saying: "I am proud of my brother. He fought until the end. I think the world of (Osama) Bin Laden. I told the cops as much and now I'm telling you."

Mr Merah also recalls visiting his mother's house for a wake for Mohamed . There were whoops of joy, he said. People were congratulating his mother and saying "Be proud. Your son brought France to its knees". "I screamed: 'My brother is not a hero. He is a common assassin.'"

Good for the brother speaking out against the praise Merah is getting for what is frankly one of the most disgustingly racist attacks in europe since WW2, France should take a strong stand against those who are gloryfying this monster.

I hate to say it, but if they don't like living in France, why do they live there?
