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

Teenage Muslima from France stopped on way to joining jihad in Syria

Oct 5, 2014 8:43 am By Robert Spencer

JihadiMuslimas“We so relieved, so happy that she has not gone abroad,” says her mother, and so now Assia Saidi is safely still in France instead of joining the jihad in Syria. What could possibly go wrong?

Neither al-Qaeda nor any other jihadist group ever had the appeal that the Islamic State has for young Muslims in the West. This demonstrates the power of its claim to have restored the caliphate.

“French teen girl stopped ‘on way to jihad in Syria,’” AFP, October 5, 2014:

A 15-year-old French girl was in police custody Sunday after she disappeared from her family home in southern France, suspected of wanting to travel to Syria to wage jihad.

Assia Saidi was “found on Saturday night by her parents in a bar, near Marseille station, where she had been working for a few days,” a source close to the investigation told AFP.

Investigators discovered a Facebook page under a pseudonym which “unequivocally” showed she was planning “to leave France and wage jihad,” according to prosecutors.

“That was the goal,” the girl told LCI television, before admitting she had quickly changed her mind….

Her mother told BFMTV: “We decided to go to Marseille. We looked for her all day … she threw herself into our arms. We’re so happy. Everyone hugged, cried, laughed.”

“We so relieved, so happy that she has not gone abroad,” the mother said.

    And, across the English Channel-

    “From Brighton to the battlefields of Syria:
    How did three middle-class brothers go from college to waging Jihad in the Middle East?”

    “We so relieved, so happy that she has not gone abroad,” the mother said.

    quran 9:23
    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.

    So, what are the chances that the girl will start being a regular 15-year-old girl?

      I wonder what would have happened had they discovered their runaway girl not in a bar but…in a convent or a church, having encountered a nice old-fashioned Christian who had told her all about Jesus, freed her from the allah demon, and soundly converted her to Christianity??

      Remember Rifqa Bary?

      There was also, in Britain, a girl named Hannah Shah. She didn’t run away from her family to go join the jihad; she ran away from her family because her imam father was regularly beating and *raping* her and she was looking for something better than Islam; she found it (to wit, Christianity) and when her parents learned she was being baptised, her father sent a raging mob with axes to attack the house where she was staying. (see the book “The Imam’s Daughter”).

    I quote – ‘…“We so relieved, so happy that she has not gone abroad,” says her mother, and so now Assia Saidi is safely still in France instead of joining the jihad in Syria……’ – safe in France no doubt to pursue her jihadist agenda against the local kuffar instead. No wonder her mother is ‘relieved and happy’.

      Exactly what kind of Jihad was she planning on waging?
      Sex Jihad – offering sexual favours to battle weary male Jihadis?
      Or was she planning on fighting in battle?

      • OMG says

        At 15, she’s s bit too old for these Neanderthal Jihadis, don’t these pedophiles prefer females under 10 according to their prophet? Should’ve let her go and maybe get journey might not have been so glamorous as she becomes a Jihady incubator.

    I forgot to say before ……. the guns that the girls have are ‘as dodgy as’

    The Mujahadin need to breed, but here the French and other Western gubmints are looking to cut them off. They’re saying you don’t get no nooky to let off some steam or to pursue Demographic Jihad. Luckily, or not so luckily actually, they have set aside a thousand or so newly obtained sex-slaves for times of need. Trouble is, they’re not Moslimas. Oh wait, better yet, they *are* brand new Moslimas, and something new is always best.

    Working in a bar ???? Serving unrelated men ???? What kind of an example of delicate, devout Muslimahood is this woman ?????
    Ah, yes I know—-She covered herself from head to foot in a black bin bag to preserve her Muslima modesty.!!!!!!

    The tragedy here is she was stopped. What a pity she didn’t get out of France and the oak door slammed shut behind her.

    If you fully discover a Trojan Horse within your city limits, why would you allow 100,000 more? Yet this is what our political leaders have done. Now the muslim fifth column is too large and strong and it has turned against their host country.

    3,000 French jihadists have joined ISIS…that’s ten percent of 30,000 ISIS soldiers!

    If the French government is not now VERY afraid…THEY SHOULD BE!

    “We so relieved, so happy that she has not gone abroad,” says her mother, Assia Said.

    I’m sorry but I don’t believe a word that the mother says.

    People in the West seem to have a very, very difficult time grasping Eastern culture. In these cultures people are not individuals like we are in the West – but they live and exist like limbs of a group. They don’t make independent decisions, and if asked to, they would simply be confused since their culture don’t operate in that way.

    Its therefore virtually impossible, if not very rare, for any of these young people to want to join jihad without their own families encouraging them to admire and aspire for it. I can’t imagine these feigned parental objections to be genuine unless the kids are orphaned.
