Quote:
Charlie Hebdo gunman Cherif Kouachi once headbutted his neighbour for listening to 'infidels' music'.
The extremist's violent past was laid bare by the man who said he was attacked by the 32-year-old and later threatened when he tried to press charges against him.
The neighbour, who did not want to be named for fear of reprisals, said Kouachi would often knock on his door and complain that he was listening to pop music, which he said was 'haram' or sinful.
The younger of the Kouachi brothers lived above the man in a seven-storey block of flats in Gennevilliers, a suburb in the north of Paris, for about seven years.
Kouachi, 32, rented the 300 Euro-a-month flat with his wife Izzana Hamyd, who was today released from custody.
Kouachi, who was shot down in a hail of bullets on Friday, banged on the man's door two years ago and said: 'Don't listen to such music anymore. This is the music of the infidels.'
The neighbour said Kouachi, who only listened to Islamic music and prayers, later confronted him in the street and threatened him, saying: 'Haven't you understood yet? You're still listening to infidels' music, you need to stop.'
The neighbour said: 'I answered, saying: 'I'm paying my rent, I have the right to listen to whatever I want.'
'And then suddenly he headbutted me really hard. I told him: 'You should be ashamed, you're a Muslim and you're religion tells you to respect others and to not be violent.'
