IT WAS THAT OR SUPPORTING TRUMP...:

The Canal+ journalist who used the pseudonym Said Ramzi (Ramzy) carried out his investigations over a six-month period. The complete documentary entitled 'Allah's Soldiers' will be released later on Monday. The intrepid journalist gave interviews about his mission to the AFP news agency and Telerama magazine.

Ramzi describes himself as a Muslim "of the same generation as the killers," who carried out the deadly Paris attacks in November 2015.

"I am a Muslim. Each new attack impacts my personal life because it complicates the issues around racism and integration," he told Telerama.

He said he doesn't blame those who treat Muslims and Muslim migrants with prejudice.

"The terrorists of 13 November are all descendants of immigrants. So the dread of Muslim terrorists is real. I want to fight those guys who kill in the name of Allah. And the weapon that I have chosen is infiltration."

Ramzi told AFP that he was working to reveal the deeper motivations behind terrorists' actions and "to understand what was going on inside their heads."

"One of the main lessons was that I never saw any Islam in this affair. No will to improve the world. Only lost, frustrated, suicidal, easily manipulated youths," he said. "They had the misfortune of being born in the era that Islamic State [IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL] exists. It is very sad. They are youngsters who are looking for something and that is what they found."
