He said mum Sally Lane and dad John Letts were 'non-believers'.

They are set to stand trial next year accused of sending him cash.

Sally said he had obsessive compulsive disorder and they said he suffers mental health problems in a recent interview.

His father said a man called Abdullah who attended a mosque near their Oxford home had tried to brainwash him.

John added that Jack had told them he had nothing to eat and was begging for chips from people in a café.

The couple were released on bail last month after six days in prison on remand.

Before releasing them the judge said: "So two perfectly decent people have ended up in custody because of the love of their child.”

But in the rant on his social media profile Jack, 20, wrote a message titled “A message to the media and all Kuffaar in general.”

He also quashed reported claims he has a son and that he’s changed his name to Abu Muhammad.

Jack said: “Whatever retard thinks that what I wrote in Arabic says 'I love my mum and dad' clearly knows less Arabic than my Kaafir mum and dad who I hate for the sake of Allaah.

“They reject the religion of truth so I reject having any alliance with them.

“Also, I do not have OCD. I don’t have any type of mental health illness alhamdulillaah.

“I know that The Prophet himself was called crazy by his people because of the truth that he came with.”

He added: “I was not brainwashed or radicalised by some guy called Abdullaah (who I vaguely remember meeting like once or twice without ever really speaking to him much).

“I do not have a son, I'm not called Abu Muhammad. I don't beg for chips (LOL) and I’m not against terrorising the enemies of Allaah.

“I’m Muslim, I don’t want your sympathy or your theories about me, nor do I want peace or allegiance (sic) with any of you.

“I love Allaah and those that Allaah loves.

“I hate the Kuffaar and am free from them. Die in your Rage.”

Sally, 54 and 55-year-old John – who has been on BBC’s Countryfile – deny sending him £1,700 knowing it could be used to fund terror.
