Life

Yousif studied medicine in Egypt . During his student days he was a member of the Jamaa Islamiya and after the assassination of President Anwar al-Sadat on October 6, 1981, he was imprisoned for a few months for supporting the Islamist attackers . In 1988 he received a PhD position at the Albert-Ludwigs-University of Freiburg , where he met with the grade "summa cum laude" doctorate . In Freiburg he was one of the founding members of a mosque . In 1994 he and his colleagues received the Goedecke Research Prize for outstanding scientific work.

In 2000 Yousif moved to Neu-Ulm and preached there as “Sheikh Abu Omar” in the Islamic Information Center in Ulm . During a police check on the German-French border, radical Islamist writings were found in his suitcase, which made him the target of the protection of the constitution . The German domestic secret service led him temporarily as an undercover agent . While he was open to public dialogue, he contributed to the radicalization of Muslims at internal events of the Islamic Center , for example the Sauerland group . Yousif is said to have been involved in an attack on a nightclub on the Indonesian island of Bali in 2002, which left more than 200 dead.

He now works as a biochemist at Batterjee Medical College in Jeddah , Saudi Arabia , where he heads the research department.
