A friend of shooting victim Nicholas Thalasinos said that Farook told Thalasinos that 'Islam will rule the world'

A friend of a victim of Wednesday’s shooting in San Bernardino claims that gunman Syed Rizwan Farook told Nicholas Thalasinos, who was fatally shot in the massacre, that ‘Islam will rule the world’.

CV Claverie claimed in a Facebook post on Thursday that Farook had been ‘threatening’ Thalasinos, telling him that ‘Christians and Jews deserve to die; and that he (Nicholas) was going to die’.

Clavarie’s post surfaced as Farook's father revealed his son supported ISIS, wanted the destruction of Israel and avoided socializing because of his strong religious views.

Speaking outside his Californian home, Syed Farook, 67, told the Italian newspaper La Stampa that his 28-year-old son was a 'momma's boy' who had become 'too shy, conservative and fixated against Israel'.

Mr Farook also claimed that his son, who died along with his Pakistani-born wife Tashfeen Malik on Wednesday after killing 14 and injuring 21, rarely went to parties with her because he thought no other man should see her dancing.

And as it becomes increasingly likely that his son will be officially labelled a terrorist, a clearly distressed Mr Farook told the newspaper he believes his own life in America is over following the mass shooting.

Mr Farook added that he tried to argue with his son that opposition to Israel was best done with politics rather than weapons, and became angry with his son after seeing that he had acquired a gun.

The father also made a bizarre claim to the younger Farook that the Jewish state would not exist in two years because world powers such as the US, China and Russia did not want it and all of the Israelis would move to Ukraine.

Mr Farook said that he despaired at the choice his son had made and questioned why with a stable income, a new baby daughter and a seemingly happy marriage and life he appears to have become radicalized into militant Islam.

'He said he shared the ideology of Al Baghdadi to create an Islamic state, and it was fixed with Israel,' said Mr Farook.

He said he did not know for sure if his son was in direct contact with jihadist fighters abroad or in the United States, but said, 'who knows, with the Internet and all that technology.'

Beyond geopolitical issues leading Rizwan Farook towards extremism, Mr, Farook admitted his own family had been fracturing in recent years.

Rizwan Farook's mother Rafia, who lived with him, has previously said that her ex-husband is an alcoholic, mentally ill and hit her, according to the New York Times.

Mr Farook denied the allegations.

CV Claverie, a friend of Nicholas Thalasinos, who was fatally shot in Wednesday's massacre, claimed in a Facebook post on Thursday that Farook had been ‘threatening’ Thalasinos, telling him that ‘Christians and Jews deserve to die; and that he (Nicholas) was going to die’.

The couple's divorce was started in 2006 and finalized this year. The elder Farook said his ex-wife moved in with Rizwan last May and he moved in with Raheel in September.

Mr Farook, who says he lived in a liberal Pakistani city before moving to the US and settling first in Chicago claimed that Rizwan was a momma's boy and that his son and his ex-wife shared a mutual devotion to their faith.

He said that his younger son had sided against him with Rafia, and that Rizwan had said his parents' marriage must end after an argument about Jesus Christ where the future gunman called his father an 'unbeliever'.

The 67-year-old said that he did not know whether his son had contact with terrorist suspects abroad, but said that it was possible with technology.

He also cleared up confusion regarding the family name Syed Farook, with public records seemingly stating that he had named his two sons after himself.

Mr Farook blamed officials in Chicago and said that his sons were always named Rizwan and Raheel Farook respectively and not Syed.

Investigators have begun to look for possible links to terrorist groups after Malik posted on Facebook during the attacks that she pledged allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Officials are also investigating possible contact with a member of Al Qaeda's Syrian outfit, the al-Nusra Front, and Malik's links to the radical Red Mosque in Pakistan.

Syed Farook said he will not be able to find peace after his son's attack, and added, 'my life is over here'.

Indeed the sisters of the deceased Farook have said they do not know why the California health inspector and his Pakistani-born wife committed their violent crime, which is now being investigated as an act of terrorism.

The elder Syed Farook, who came to the US from Pakistan in 1973 and has a degree in mechanical engineering, said that his younger son had a good life and was making good money while studying towards a master's degree.

He said that he had never spoken to Tashfeen Malik, Rizwan Farook's Pakistani-born wife who was a longtime resident of Saudi Arabia before coming to the US on a fiancée visa last year and is thought by some to have radicalized him.
