Parents = father. I don't think the mother had any role or say in that nor is she present in Iraq. Nor the family as a whole.
The Al-Abbasi family is one of the most respected Arab families in the Arab world and Islamic world. I don't need to mention the names of the Abbasids or Quraysh? Or the lineage of Prophet Muhammad (saws) and all the other Prophets. It's equivalent to some of the oldest royal dynasty members (now not ruling anymore) doing something alike. So the family background should neither be the problem.
The father is dead btw. He was killed alongside his son.
I just want those that brainwashed them to be held responsible. They are using gullible people, often youngsters the age of 16-25 years, as cannon fodder. Brainwashing them, luring them under a false pretext etc.
Anyway I don't bother discussing it anymore as it annoys me too much and this thread already attracted trolls enough.
