His father is also an pro-Islamic activist according to some of the news articles. It is quite possible that the father is taking advantage of his son's interests to further a political cause.
edit: I am not commenting on whether the father is righteous or malevolent; simply positing an idea which may explain why there is so much video, documentation, and attention on this event.
- DanBC 11y agowhere "pro Islamic" means he ran on a campaign including things like "ratifying human rights" and repealing laws against converting from Islam. There's a bunch of anti-Muslim sentiment around. Standing up to that doesn't make someone a radical hardline Islamist.
