“Tara cut off contact with him after she married her teenage sweetheart Sharrouf and converted to Islam.” Why would she have done that? Because Islam is paramount over all other loyalties and affections. The Qur’an says that Abraham gives an “excellent example” to Muslims when he tells his pagan family that there is now “enmity and hatred” between them and him until they worship Allah alone (60:4). And: “O you who have believed, do not take your fathers or your brothers as allies if they have preferred disbelief over belief. And whoever does so among you – then it is those who are the wrongdoers” (9:23).
“Peter Nettleton says bring his Aussie terror grandchildren home now,” by Sarah Crawford and Taylor Auerbach, The Daily Telegraph, August 12, 2014 (thanks to John):
THE grandfather of a boy pictured holding up the severed head of a Syrian soldier has begged the government to help bring the seven-year-old and his siblings home.
“I’m scared for the children,” truck driver Peter Nettleton said at his Panania home last night.
“What life are they going to have now?”
Mr Nettleton thought his jihadist son-in-law Khaled Sharrouf and daughter Tara had taken her five children, two girls and three boys, to Malaysia to stay with Sharrouf’s sister while he fought in Syria.
Now the shocking photo Sharrouf posted on Twitter shows he has taken his family into the war zone. “Can’t the government do something to pull these kids away from that man?” he asked.
Mr Nettleton, who has been estranged from his daughter for nine years, said he heard about the shocking photo while listening to the news on radio yesterday.
“That brought me to tears because I don’t know how to handle it,” he said. Mr Nettleton, who has remarried and has three daughters, said Tara cut off contact with him after she married her teenage sweetheart Sharrouf and converted to Islam.
“We made a decision a long time ago to part,” he said.
“She made that decision easily. I don’t know her boys. I don’t know their names.”
Tara met Sharrouf while they were students at Chester Hill High School and had their first child, a girl, when she was 17.
“She just went with him and converted, she never grew up religious, we weren’t religious,” Mr Nettleton said.
Despite shocking evidence that his grandchildren are with their Islamist fighter father, Mr Nettleton was still not sure if his daughter was with her husband.
Sharrouf, a convicted terrorist, snuck out of Australia late last year using his brother’s passport.
Mr Nettleton said he believed his daughter left Australia with the children at the same time: “Tara’s mother told me she went to Malaysia after Khaled left to stay with Khaled’s sister. She told her mother she would be coming back within the month.”
Mr Nettleton said his ex-wife Karen remained close to her daughter.
Ms Nettleton would not answer the door of her Peakhurst home yesterday. “I don’t want to say anything,” she called in a quavering voice.
Khaled Sharrouf’s sister-in-law also refused to speak to The Daily Telegraph.
The Sharroufs still living in Sydney have become reclusive in the months since Khaled’s shocking jihad came to light.
Neighbour Joel, who said he would be moving from the area after learning about the extremist family, told The Daily Telegraph once-regular visitors had dried up.
Wtf? says
What an embarrassment for a son in law. What a penalty for the family who are still in Sydney to pay. The selfish narcissist ego of the Muslim mongrels is beyond belief. The only good thing is the media in Australia are not afraid to upset our tea towel headed friends. More and more people are seeing this religion for what it is.

Ironic
Muslims are correct when they claim they are being (Humiliated)
It is not non-Muslims doing the humiliation though.
BC says
Muslims do not see it is humiliation when they humiliate, different kinds Muslims and other faiths. It is only humiliation when they themselves feel it.

How pathetic this is…you raise your daughter so that she could have good life even away from them but a good one and then she falls in love with some Muslim guy and 180 degree you are bound to find her in some war zone with all the barbaric acts and the grand kids obviously lost…how painful for the grandparents to see in this age…I would never allow my kids to date Muslims
Really appreciate that the Australians talk about it so openly where as everywhere else even though they know its true they would try not dare to speak it out loud so that they wouldn’t be called racist or anti islam
Aysha Besher says
I wouldn’t want those 2 children in Australia without first going through some treatment. They might start by beheading the neighbor’s dog or cat and move on to an annoying fellow student. Best left with mommy and daddy, in some hell hole.
Oliver says
I agree, totlly.
One of the great mass psychologists of the mid 20th century ( and one of the most evil) said ( approximate wording, translated –not by me) from the original (Geman) ” give me a child from birth to 6, and I will have a Nazi for life”.
Adolphn Hitler.
And, while some will break away from the earlu brinwashing (anyoone know a better word) many more, perhaps a huge majority, would not.
Best keep these people out of a civilzied country.
Thomas Cherian Mulammootil says
Time and time again kids brought up in a liberal/nonreligious background are easy prey to conversions to Islam.
Patriotic Westerners should teach their kids the superiority of the Western Christian Civilization. Kids should be equipped with knowledge why Christianity and why never Muhammad.
Peace,

Kepha says
Thomas–Hey, my wife’s a sort of honey-colored immigrant. Believe me, we are really pretty color-blind at this site (or so it seems to me). Some of us actually have made a stab at teaching our kids about Christ.

“She just went with him and converted, she never grew up religious, we weren’t religious,” Mr Nettleton said.
===============
Your daughter is certainly religious now, sir. Broken home, no religion — looks like the perfect entre for islam in a young, lost person’s life.
duh_swami says
Around here that kid would be in CPS (Childrens Protective Service), in short order. An army of social workers would descend, confiscate the child, and start an investigation into child abuse and child endangerment. Most likely Malaysia has no CPS.
Charlie WalksonWater says
The young woman was not raised in a church, she had a spiritual void in her life. A spiritual vacuum. She needed to worship someone, something, didnt know any different and chose poorly, and now this young child will suffer also.
King Solomon had a wise saying…Raise your children in the way they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it.
Kathy Brown says
Yes CWW: I was thinking this exact thing. You are so right. In like manner, ‘Our hearts are restless ’til they rest in Thee’.
Satan is alive and well, and he is quite active in vacuums like these. Young people are also so idealistic, extreme: This is part of being made ‘in the Image and Likeness of God’, but as you say, it’s a double-edged sword. Here, we see the downside: This ‘mother’ is raised w/o faith, but RUNS to embrace Islam in her teens…
And of course there’d not be CPS in ANY Muslim country! Dear God in Heaven-what would qualify as child abuse? Mutilating your daughter wouldn’t; drilling your children to recite ‘Jews are apes and pigs’ wouldn’t; helping strap explosives on your 12 yr. old wouldn’t; facilitating the rape of your 7 yr. old daughter wouldn’t; I mean the list goes on and on, ad nauseam, ad tedium, ad infinitum.
Wetwork56 says
I guess Disneyland is no longer in this 7yr olds future…sad. It should be his parents heads that he should be holding.
Lee Owen says
They sign up for wars and kill innocent people for a twisted belief. 100 yrs since people died to give them and their families freedom to live their lives as they please. Why don’t they fight for their own country or work? Because these people are brought up wrong and just want to take everything they can from whoever they can, they are even killing each other. Let’s hope two world wars were not in vain.
Yokel says
@Lee re:”Let’s hope two world wars were not in vain.”
Sorry friend, they were.
I don’t know about your country, whichever it is, but in mine, they came home after fighting for five or six years against the German National Socialist Workers Party, and voted Socialist. A Socialist government that went on the biggest Nationalisation spree ever, that introduced prodnoses and official control into almost every sphere of life; actions that have largely never been undone by the so called political “right”.
The direction in which Britain is headed now, it is clear that the sacrifice of life and treasure in both wars by my parents and grandparents generations was indeed a complete and utter waste. And we, and my children, are about to pay a terrible price.
Lee Owen says
Just shows how messed up these lunatics are. We wouldn’t let our kids see this on tv, but they encourage their children to get involved in murder. This is a war which isn’t going to be over anytime soon, we are dealing with some (a lot) of messed up individuals
Jay Boo says
I was asked by a left leaning presumably non-Muslim, “Why don’t Islamic State’s victims just leave?”
Why don’t they just leave?
Why don’t they just leave?
Why don’t they just leave?
The old blame the victim routine instead of Islam.
(Why don’t Muslims wish to talk about the daily disgrace that is Islam?)
Why do they continue to use such diversions of blaming the victims of their abuse?
Why do appeasers eat this up to ease their cognitive dissonant guilty consciences?
Islam is a “what about me” religion for entitlement.
Despite what Muslims say Islamophobia is not the problem.
It is instead, a symptom of the problem caused by Islam.
Oliver says
To Aysha Besher & Duh Swami,
I would not want this child enar where I am, but you both (in my view) miss an important point.
As said by (one of the –if not THE ) GREATEST MASS PSYCHOLOGISTS OF ALL TIME –ADOLF HITLER. ‘Give me a child from birth to 6, and I’ll have a Nazi for lie”.
Perhaps some would deviate from their early training; many, many more would not.
I would not want to take the chance of someone so thoroughly indoctrinated in this evil being anywhere near me.
And, children are great actors ( or acrtresses depending upon the child’s gender) and often tell adults what they (think or know or think they know) the adults want to hear.
So, i would still not trust them.
(The McMartin “child abuse” case in Cal. soem years ago showed the chilldren telling what they thought the adults wanted to hear; was a somewhat similair case in NYC also-same type of children saying what they thought the adults wanted to hear(
Colin Whiteoak says
A great caption for this picture from a contributor at http://www.biasedbbc.org –
“Look Dad, the Religion of Peace!”
Elise says
Every Christian should be praying for the children of this couple and the mother as well. It is never too late to find Jesus and ask him to enter your heart and soul.
The young boy looks like he is on holiday and could easily get through the TSA with an Australian passport and some internal equipment that his father chose for him. So sad to see children forced to see evil deeds propagated by any religion.
TheresaDoneIt says
And every non-Christian should be hoping for them. I don’t pray but I hope like hell these children and many like it are removed from these situations. It’s very sad to see a 7 year old who finds decapitation to be a laughing matter. They simply don’t understand how precious life is.
Kepha says
Hearing about God (supposedly) from Muslims, the mother of this boy became three times the child of Hell her apparently unbelieving family ever were (Matthew 23:15). Indeed, this woman needs a heavy millstone tied around her neck and to be thrown into the sea. Now, imagine a world in which millions of children are taught like the boy in this picture. Yikes!
And if there is indeed a religion that encourages its children to hate so fiercely from a very young age, I don’t think I will ever again shudder in horror when my eyes pass over the ending of Psalm 137 or certain verses in the Torah and Joshua. I will only pray that God may mercifully spare my own land and those of my kinfolk from coming to such a judgment.
Roderick Kaimana MacUalraig says
“Now, imagine a world in which millions of children are taught like the boy in this picture. Yikes!”
What is the principle informing the warrior, Sir?
Are you a frontline combatant? If so are you imbued with the religiously inspired & genocidal aspirations of a Muslim, or are you in informed & inspired by the ideas of natural human rights spelled out by the U. S. Constitution?
Have you been downrange? Have you had to cut another man’s throat for your freedom, and for the freedom of your children and grandchildren? Have you killed a man that would kill or make a slave of your son, or an 11th sex-slave of your daughter?
Those in the West today owe their existence and fortune to extremely violent men, and think the world the world has changed since the Greeks fought at Thermopylae to defend their enlightenment, whose efforts, among many WE, Sir, are heir.
So many in the world living in the luxury purchased by generations of blood shed by free men and women worldwide, who fought and died so that their children could idealize sports figures and celebrities.
Let me tell you, I’m the natural & adopted son of men who would’ve rather pursued scholarly and artistic pursuits; their martial spirits were ignited only by the imperial designs of the Imperial Japanese and Nazis.
And I’m here to say that, FORTUNATELY, I was informed by one ideal that made all the difference… from a man known as Lao Tzu. For me, it was a principle that is indispensable for humanity, and for sanity: A warrior enters the battlefield with a heavy heart full of remorse….
There is no joy, no photo-ops: when a man or woman enters the battlefield and takes the life of another man who sets out to enslave you… he is still a man.
Spencer said it in the opening salvo: “Meanwhile, in the West the intelligentsia teach children that war can always be prevented by negotiation and accommodation, that it is always wrong to fight, and so on. How will the children of the West who have been taught that it is wrong to defend their homes and families stand up to people like Khaled Sharrouf’s son?”
This child will be checked by my sons. My sons that are inheriting my savagery! MY SAVEGERY!!!
UNDERSTAND?
And my post, Kepha, is not meant for you as much as it is meant for a wider audience. All those who scratch their heads and wring their hands (Eric Bolling), at what we are to do, how are we to face this problem…
Gentlemen of the West arise, as we have for MILLENIA, to defend liberty.
FatherJon says
It’s to be hoped that Tara finds a hideout for when/if Sharrouf ever returns home to Australia. Dishonoured wives who diss their husbands do not have a secure future in that religion.
BC says
Abraham gives an “excellent example” to Muslims when he tells his pagan family that there is now “enmity and hatred” between them and him
All cult leaders take on that belief to this day.
Sam says
People don’t get Islam for reasons of ignorance, brainwashing, complacency, intellectual laziness and whatever. They will not get it till it comes to their own street which is happening all over the world. Then it will be (already is) too late.
NDB says
Little ones grow up to be big ones, and you can’t wash it off.
Tim says
“She just went with him and converted, she never grew up religious, we weren’t religious,” Mr Nettleton said.
And there’s the problem. Mankind has a God-shaped hole in their hearts, and it WILL be filled with something. If you don’t fill it with true Christian faith, false religion will get in instead.
Kepha says
Good old Augustine of Hippo!
