An erstwhile German rap artist, Denis Cuspert, who had lucrative contacts with many music companies, is said to be the kingpin behind all the dreaded ISIS videos that showed the beheading of four Western hostages. The extremist musician was born to a German mother and Ghanian father. He converted to Islam and left his musical career for the sake of "jihad". Professionally, he was known as 'Deso Dogg' but he prefers to be called as Abu Talha al-Amani.

Gruesome Videos

The 39-year-old rapper also turned into a jihadi recruiter, using his command over German-speaking fighters, reported Breitbart News. He reportedly played a big role in inciting hundreds of young people with British passports to join ISIS as fighters in Iraq and Syria. Cuspert's jihadi music videos are said to be packed with violent characters of masked men totting machine-guns and the artist holding a long crescent-shaped sword and grenade, prostrating on the prayer mat.

In one of the gruesome videos, Cuspert is seen posing with the severed head of a Sunni tribesman who was opposed to ISIS. All the gruesome 'Jihadi John' videos, which showed the beheading of Western prisoners such as James Foley, Steven Sotloff, David Haines and Alan Henning were reportedly commissioned by the rapper. Cuspert had a criminal record and was in Germany's prisons for many drugs related offences and possession of illegal fire arms.

A German secret service dossier on the rapper has documented his radical mission in his own words. It said he wanted to "radicalise the world and use my voice for telling people the truth that jihad is a duty and we must scourge the world of non-believers. Wage Holy War and build a global caliphate. The world will convert to Islam or it will perish."

Heavy Crack Down

Meanwhile, Reuters reported that German police on last Wednesday arrested nine men for allegedly supporting militant groups in Syria and raided many places. It was one of the largest sweeps against ISIS in Germany. The operation was conducted by more than 240 police officers in North Rhine-Westphalia. Those arrested included, a Pakistani named Mirza Tamoor for smuggling two fighters from Germany to Syria, along with a 31-year-old German named as Kais for having recruited potential jihadists to Syria, according to federal prosecutors.
