In Zarqawi's home town, family talk with pride about their heroic cousin
His followers say he is a prophet, a young man who took on the task of enforcing the will of God.

Mukhlf al-Zayoudi, another cousin of Zarqawi, explained how the tribe perceives him: "He represents a superhero for the tribe in a time when heroism has disappeared.

He is a source of pride and honour. They are proud they produced this historical hero, the saviour. We wish we had 10 Zarqawis." Muntasser describes Zarqawi as a quiet man, saying very little, always thinking, but with very extreme views.

"He was more extreme than Bin Laden. He used to say that Bin Laden was too tolerant and despised the Taliban for its efforts to join the UN. He said the UN is a council of kafirs, why should the Muslims join."
