Jihadi in Syria admits training British Muslim teens for jihad terror

Jul 9, 2014 12:30 pm By Robert Spencer

YilmazHe says, however, that while jihadis see their jihad in Syria as “something holy,” they won’t risk prison by committing a jihad attack in Britain. But why can’t a jihad in Britain be “something holy”? Nasser Muthana, who has warned the British that he will commit jihad mass murder in Britain if he returns, seems to think it is. Others no doubt do as well.

“Syria Fighter Admits Training British Teens,” by Jason Farrell, Sky News, July 9, 2014:

A jihadi fighter in Syria has told Sky News he has been training British teenagers as young as 16 to fight in the war.

Yilmaz, a Dutch national who has been in the region for two years, said: “It’s extremely easy to get here … People go on holiday, they end up in Syria.”

Speaking via Skype, from the Idlib province of the war-torn country, the fighter insisted the majority of Britons did not pose a threat to their home country.

But he added: “There is always the chance of a loose cannon doing something stupid, doing something crazy.”

Asked how young his trainees from Britain were he replied: “16, 17 … Most are in their 20s.”

Security services in the UK estimate 400 to 500 British jihadists are involved in the conflict in Syria or Iraq, and there are concerns some may wish to return and commit terrorist acts when they return.

Three Muslims from Cardiff have appeared in an ISIS video from Syria and last week a social media account in the name of one of them posted pictures of homemade bombs.

Nasser Muthana, 20, appeared to warn that Britain should be afraid to allow him to return.

But Yilmaz, who was in the Dutch army and also worked in an old people’s home in Holland, told Sky News: “We see this jihad in Syria as something holy.

“When I speak to the British fighters and the foreign fighters here, I just can’t see them risking everything, coming home and committing crimes.

“It’s funny, the British Government itself is funding and training, be it in Jordan or Syria, the Free Syrian Army. So the British Government is helping and I’m helping in my own way.”…

    I expect these two Muslim roaches will come back pregnant from Syria and the British taxpayer will have the pleasure of housing, feeding, clothing and educating their little jihadi bast**ds for the next 18 years.

      They are probably dealing with a bad case of Islam co-dependence.

      They feel they need Islam to have a sense of belonging and to gain approval and acceptance into this cult in order to feel that they worthwhile.
      Islam needs to build up its shaky pyramid scheme base that rots from within by first toying with human vanity only trash it later at the first opportunity while sinking to the lowest of depravities.

    Turkey is the none to blame, they open the border for this SCUM!

    Really I hate turkey so much, I hope that it will turn against them soon…

    Turkey is responsable when these jihadi fuckers are beheading christians, kurds, alawites and shias, and I also blame Israel for treating the wounding rebels in their hopitals – unbelievable!

    Israel, Assad is not a threat to you, but these jihadis are , so wake the fuck up finally, before it’s too late!!!
