Mon frère, ce terroriste

Mon frère, ce terroriste ("My brother, that terrorist") is a book written by Mohamed Sifaoui and Abdelghani Merah, the elder brother of Mohammed Merah, who murdered seven people, including three Jewish children at a school in Toulouse.

Abdelghani said he wrote the book to counteract the veneration of his brother by some young French Muslims, and in it, he denounces his family for fostering an "atmosphere of racism and hatred" that led to Mohammed's radicalisation and eventual attacks.

[1][2][3] Abdelghani said that he wrote the book to resist the hero-worship of his brother among some young French Muslims.

He recalls the jubilation at his brother's wake and recounts that people were congratulating his mother saying, "Be proud.

"[1][3][4] Abdelgani has now severed all contact with his family and says he thinks regularly of the victims of the massacre and each day looks at their photos which he downloaded on his phone.
