Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources—essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Konika Dhar told Daily Mail that her brother, Abu Rumaysah, isn't the man who has been featured in the latest ISIS video.

Dhar doesn't believe the man can be her brother, but admitted his voice sounded "a bit like him."
 

"I examined the features," Dhar explained. "[O]ne eye is smaller than the other, my brother has symmetrical eyes. The eyebrows are bushy and this guy is taller, my brother is shorter and he has got broader shoulders, but he has got stooped shoulders so I don't think it is.

"I think the voice sounds a bit like him, but it could be someone else, but he could have helped with a voiceover, but I have no idea."

Dhar continued, saying she has not spoken to Rumaysah in over a year and "doesn't even know who he is" anymore.

Though she maintains Rumaysah is not the masked man, she claimed, "If it is him, bloody hell am I shocked? I am going to kill him myself. He is going to come back and I am going to kill him if he has done this.

"I can't believe it. This is just so shocking for me. I don't know what the authorities are doing to confirm the identity, but I need to know if it is."

Rumaysah surprised his family when he converted to a Muslim extremist and spoke of bringing the UK under sharia law. Though he was born a Hindu with the name Siddhartha Dhar, he was arrested in September 2014 with eight other men as part of an investigation into alleged support of al-Muhajiroun, a banned extremist group.

After his arrest, he was released on bail and disappeared with his family the next day. He was reported to have traveled first to Paris, then Syria.

Though only Isa Dare, the young boy at the end of the 10-minute video, has been identified so far, security services continue to investigate and are attempting to name the other terrorists.

As for the five victims, they have been named in reports as Ga'il Marwan Abdul Razaq, ubi Muhammad Abdul Ghani, Faisal Hamud al-Ja'far, Umaar Hamud al-Ja'far and Mahyar Mahmud al-Uthmaan.
