Aylan Kurdi: Drowned boy’s father accused of being people smuggler in charge of boat that crashed
The Daily Telegraph ^ | September 11, 2015 | Daniel Meers and Ben McClellan

The father of the three-year-old boy whose lifeless body washed up on a Turkish beach, rocking the whole world to its core, has been accused of being a people smuggler who captained the fateful voyage.

A woman, who claimed to have lost her two children on the vessel, made the stunning claims to Network Ten via her cousin who lives in Sydney on Friday night.

The image of Aylan Kurdi’s dead body was the catalyst for Australia to accept 12,000 Syrian refugees who are fleeing persecution in their homeland.

It was claimed last night that his ­father Abdullah was a people smuggler who captained the dodgy boat for its entire voyage, capsizing in heavy seas and killing at least 12 people.

Iraq-based Zainab Abbas, via her Sydney-based cousin Lara Tahseen, told Ten News she paid $10,000 for the voyage and Aylan’s father was in charge of the boat.

“He was a smuggler, yes, he was the one driving the boat,’’ she said.

Surprise!!! Dad-of-the-year here was a human smuggler himself and was in fact the boat captain. He caused it to capsize by going to fast in rough water.

He has been living in Turkey 3 years, I believe. They were not fleeing Syria.

Previously they’d claimed that the captain took off.

Arrrrrrgh! Sad eyed puppy commercials work!

People just won't learn until their own children are lying in pools of blood in their own streets.

What is one dead kid for the jihad? A poster child!

“...rocking the whole world to its core,”

Sorry but to say that it rocked the world “to its core” is like saying Hillary Clinton feels responsible for the death of Ambassador Stevens.

Appeals to emotion work. It’s what drives advertising.

We can’t stop left wing propagandists, but we have to learn to combine emotional appeal with intellectual appeal.

Conservatives have won the intellectual battle. But liberals have won the emotional battle. We can win if we add the emotional component to our cause.

I have trained as recovery diver. Although I have never had to personally recover a body I have seen a lot of photos. They never look that good.

"Earlier Mr Kurdi claimed he did steer the boat, but only after the captain ­allegedly panicked in large seas and jumped overboard when the engine stalled"

Sorry, not so much.

Watching the second plane go into the towers, rocked my world.

You can see lots of dead ISIS children victims on the internet.

There they go again...the media tries to suggest something is true that isn’t because it’s what THEY believe the truth SHOULD be. That’s not journalism, it’s an abuse of the power of suggestion.

You may be right. Most things I have seen that washed up on the beach were partially embedded in the sand, not sitting on top of it.
