Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Islamic State jihadist was “integrated” in Italy

Sep 14, 2014 7:11 pm By Robert Spencer

IslamicStatejihadis2Now wait a minute. We are constantly assured by the most respected, most tenured, most consulted analysts that young Muslims turn to jihad because they are alienated, not assimilated. They are victims of discrimination and ghettoization in their home countries, and so they become susceptible to “radicalization.” But this young jihadi in Italy, according to his father, was “doing well here, he had a great construction job, he had a salary, he had friends who he met at the village bar in the evening. He was integrated.” So how could he possibly have become “radicalized”? It is a mystery that has all the learned analysts scratching their heads!

“Syria jihadist was ‘integrated’ in Italy,” The Local, September 12, 2014 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):

A 25-year-old man who is believed to have gone to fight alongside jihadists in Syria was “integrated” in Italy, his father has told Italian media.

Munifer Karamaleski, originally from Macedonia, had lived in Italy for around seven years when he hastily left late last year.

The 25-year-old reportedly quit his job in Chies d’Alpago, close to Belluno in north-east Italy, and left along with his wife and three young children.

“He was doing well here, he had a great construction job, he had a salary, he had friends who he met at the village bar in the evening. He was integrated,” his father Musafer Karamaleski told Corriere della Sera.

Mayor Gianluca Dal Borgo told the newspaper that Munifer, who had himself taken off the civil registry in November, had “seemed like all the other guys” in Chies d’Alpago.

Munifer’s father, who has worked in construction in Italy for 22 years, said his son told him that he was going to look for a better job in Macedonia.

“When I returned to Macedonia, I didn’t find him at home. He told me by phone he was in Bosnia, I haven’t heard from him since,” Musafer said.

It is now believed that Munifer was recruited by jihadists from Isis (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria), taking the same path as his friend Ismar Mesinovic who was killed fighting in Syria.

Earlier this month 16 people, including preacher Bilal Bosnic, were arrested in Bosnia after allegedly recruiting Isis militants from Italy.

Munifer’s sister Sebil spoke to him after he arrived in Syria, although has since lost touch with her brother, Corriere said. Her father however said he had no idea his son had joined Islamic militants.

“I didn’t know that my son had gone to Syria,” he said. “I didn’t teach him to kill. Islam doesn’t teach violence, the Quran speaks of peace and love. If he really has gone to fight, he’s made a serious mistake.”

Maybe you should read the book again, Musafer.

Musafer denounced his son, saying he wanted nothing more to do with him. “He’s no longer my son…for me he no longer exists,” he said.

Unfortunately for the Infidels in his path, he does.

Munifer is one of around 50 people thought to have joined the Isis ranks from Italy. The majority are aged between 18 and 25 and were recruited in the north of the country.

Around ten have already been killed in fighting, Interior Minister Angelino Alfano said earlier this month.

    Uh-oh. Befriending the kuffar, possibly consuming alcohol? He was on the highway to hell. Nothing that jihad can’t cure though…

    And how many more of them, exactly like that, are we fooling ourselves with ?

    A ‘moderate’ Muslim now turned into a BEHEADER and MASS MURDERER in a few months.

    How do we know the difference between a ‘moderate’ and a ‘radical’? They both look the same until the ‘moderate’ starts MURDERING AND BEHEADING!

    He must have been reading the wrong Qur’an and Hadith, or gone to the wrong Mosque.

    Close down all Mosques until the Qur’an and Hadith are irrevocably cleansed of Jihaddism and Allah is excorcised of Mohammedan demonic possession.

    A true God does not need homicidal psychopaths to decide for him who should live or die or carry out killings for him.

    A false religion invented as recruitment device by a Godless Psychopath Caravan Robber, Mass Murderer, Rapist, Slave Catcher and Hunter and a Paedophile who declared all who did not blindly follow him and support unquestioningly his criminal activities as “unbelievers” “hypocrites” and “apostates” and instructed all his followers to kill them, loot their possessions and give him one fifth of the loot.

    i think he knew. hes saying this because they have been compromised.
    they emote things badly.. everything is and extreme, hate or love, disown or celebrate in the streets.. they act wounded or angry or bewailing. anything to stop further investigation or divert attention.

    its all a lie.

    Radicalisation comes to the Muslims naturally. They are brainwashed in madrassass at a very young age. People who talk of this religion as peaceful and that moderates are in a majority, are living in a fool’s paradise and in perpetual denial.

    I think the full quote is, “Islam is a religion of peace, or else.”
