Rapper, Shaped by Tumultuous German Youth, Is Designated a Global Terrorist

BERLIN — Denis Cuspert was drawn early to gangsta rap, and later to Islam. Born and raised in West Berlin, jeered at as a half-African child and often at odds with his American stepfather, he fell in with Salafists in Germany, left for Egypt in 2012 and made his way, eventually, to Syria. By last spring, the German authorities said, he had joined Islamic State guerrillas and swore allegiance to their leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

This week, Mr. Cuspert was transformed again. The American State Department announced Monday that, as “a willing pitchman” for the extremist group’s “atrocities,” Mr. Cuspert was now a “specially designated global terrorist” sought worldwide.

The designation means that Mr. Cuspert, 39, has gone from being a notorious figure in Germany to one recognized everywhere, and it puts him in the cross hairs of American intelligence in the Syrian region.

jeered at as a half-African child
This is what happens when a half-African child gets jeered at. I see it all the time. Traffic stops as people get out of their cars and a growing jeering crowd follows the child.

I don’t know what part of Berlin this guy grew up in, but given the demographics in the likely quarters it’s more than even odds that his jeering classmates were muslims (common knowledge how they feel about Africans). So he joins them...
