It is almost hard to believe a footballer can quit his career especially when age has not caught up with him and become a fighter. Well, he’s doing it for a cause. According to mirror.co.uk, Abu Issa Al-Andalusi, former Arsenal star who also grew up with Real madrid playmaker, Cristiano Ronaldo hung his boots two years ago and joined Jihadi fighters waging war in Syria.

He is filmed wearing a mask, wielding a gun in a video n AK47 and enjoining Muslims to join the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) – an al-Qaeda off-shoot group behind murders and beheadings. The ex Gunners footballer was quoted thus

“It’s very important for you to protect your children from these animals, from these dirty people; Allah says they are the worst of creatures. We are in need of all kinds of help in fighting the enemy. We have conquered many cities and we are now implementing the sharia. We have areas where the kaffirs (non-Muslims) are paying us the tax.”

He continued, “If you have family in these western countries what is going to happen probably. You don’t have control over your children. Maybe in some of countries it’s a must for you to put your children in the kaffir schools. Who is going to teach your children? It’s going to maybe be a gay, maybe a drug dealer, maybe a paedophile”.
