Hooker loving London jihadist wasn’t ‘proper Muslim’: landlord

London jihadist Khalid Masood was not a “proper Muslim,” instead preferring the service of prostitutes and days-long crack binges.

In the days since Masood’s rampage, a complicated picture of the bloodthirsty zealot has emerged – both as a loving, sweet schoolboy and violent adult.

“He wasn’t a proper Muslim,” one-time landlord Cassie Havard told The Sun . “He (had sex with) prostitutes, smoked copious amounts of crack and stuck knives in people’s faces.”

Havard said there was also a paranoid, violent streak to Masood – also known as Adrian Emls — just under the surface.

“He was a madman. After one four-day crack session, one druggie pal got paranoid and accused him of being an undercover cop,” she said. “Adrian went absolutely wild and ran to the kitchen to grab the biggest knife he could find. He went back in the room and slashed the guy’s face to pieces. It was horrific, but he always had that darker side about
him.”

The 52-year-old killed four people during his attack against innocent bystanders and a police officer on Westminster Bridge and near the House of Commons.

He was later shot and killed by responding police.

A pal of the killer speculated he could have been high on drugs or booze immediately before or during Wednesday’s carnage.

“He would take anything, from coke and ecstasy to acid and crack, which he would get through like a steam train,” a pal told The Sun. “When high his mood dominated everything in a nasty way. You would be put in your place with a terrifying glare.”
