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

Three Muslim teen girls from Colorado arrested trying to join Islamic State

Oct 21, 2014 10:55 pm By Robert Spencer

niqabisHere yet again we see the tremendous appeal that the Islamic State has for young Muslims in the West. The condemnations of the Islamic State from Muslim groups have obviously done nothing to blunt that appeal. And no authorities are studying this appeal or doing anything to try to stop it, because that would entail their studying and understanding Islam, and that is something that they are forbidden to do as a matter of Obama Administration policy.

“Teen girls from Denver arrested in Germany were trying to join ISIS, U.S. officials say,” Q13 FOX News, October 21, 2014:

BERLIN — Three teenage girls who set out from a Denver suburb apparently bound for Syria to join extremists fighting there are back home after their parents alerted authorities and the trio was stopped in Germany, U.S. officials said.

The teens — two sisters of Somali descent and a friend whose family is Sudanese, according to a Denver community leader — were detained when their flight landed in Frankfurt on Friday after the FBI flagged their passports. They were flown back to Denver on Sunday, officials said.

Parents of the girls called the FBI after becoming concerned the girls may have been traveling to Turkey….

The girls, believed to be between the ages of 15 and 17, are U.S. citizens thought to have become radicalized in their hometown, officials say.

How? What was the local mosque doing to prevent this?

It’s not exactly clear how the girls planned their trip or how they were going to make their way to Syria, but officials say their ultimate plan was to try and join extremists fighting there.

The FBI has spoken to the teens and interviewed their families, and the agency said at this point they are not facing any charges.

Why not? The Islamic State has made it abundantly clear that it considers itself to be at war with the United States.

    For the life of me I can’t see the appeal for young girls especially. What are they being taught in Mosques? If these teenagers feel marginalised then this is where multiculturalism does not work. It’s the second generation, children born into the Western civilisation. Perhaps this is where parents responsibility should come into play. Help them adjust more to Western culture rather than keeping them insulated into their old way of life. Western society has a lot to answer for as well. Instead of letting them segregate, we should insist that they blend in and assimilate not just move to another country and that country does everything to accommodate there old way of life that they are supposedly fleeing from.

      Multiculturism does work, there’s only one exception: true Muslims.

        probably the excitement of becoming a muslim whore is too much for them to resist so they reject thier upbringing and flock to their deaths( aka the late Beverly Giesbrecht of Vancover BC Canada)

        • Jay says

          Oct 22, 2014 at 11:42 am

          Whoa, wait a minute. Rejected their upbringing? They were of Somali descent and the other Sudanese. When 1.4 million Somalis were dumped into the U.S. the vast majority of them were and are Muslims. I doubt these girls were strangers to the Islamic faith to begin. After having one foot in the door they simply were putting the other foot through as well.

          Allah approved prostitution. Several dozen, 2 hour marriages a day, beats the hell out of being buried in a hole and having your head smashed in with rocks for ” allowing” yourself to be raped by the local Imam.

      They aren’t taught anything at the mosques – they learn their hatred of the west and their love of their parents ancestral cesspits from the family.

    Robert, Do you think this might ave been a propaganda stunt to have it appear as though these kind of beliefs were different than what their Muslim parents believe and approve of (not the real Islam!) and different from the teachings in their home mosque?
    This is the first I’ve heard of this story and don’t have anymore information except what you have shared by putting on this News story about the FBI being called by the parents and then their teen girls being stopped, evidently by our FBI contacting someone to get them stopped by recognizing them by their passport ID.
    If they were American citizens, did each of these girls ALREADY have passports to travel to these one or more countries? How did they get all that money? Where did their parents think they were going? They were packing and planing this international trip and had enough money for all that would be needed, and their parents DID NOT KNOW??
    It would take more investigation to know how such strange things could be so; but I do know ISLAM NEEDS PROPAGANDA to continue to be able to spread it’s evil tyrannical hold!! The deceiving of people into NOT RESISTING by cleverly promoting the LIE that hostility toward Christians and any non-Muslims JUST ISN’T ISLAM– is NECESSARY for ISLAM TO SPREAD!!
    It looks like concerned parents, in this story, discovered their daughters got tricked into something different than what they believe and also different from what they are taught in their local Mosque.
    What do you think?

    With Jesus’ Compassion 4 America! (& the world!!)
    Love, Soteria Allen (& Jesus!!)

    Jesus Loves YOU!!

    If those are the same three girls in the picture and the article, is that how their family in Colorado expects them to dress?

    If these girls were actually leaving for Jihad Action would it not have been more prudent to dress in a more incognito style.

      ”Does anyone actually expect me to believe something so obvious”

      As I said to Free Speech, this is a stock photograph which has been used in several archived articles on similar topics.

      But certainly, I don’t give a tuppenny damn what a stupid anti-Semite like you, ‘believes’.

    President Barack Hussein Obama is, at best, a Mohammedan manqué, if not an actual Mohammedan. He defends Mohammedanism at all costs, including not allowing government agencies even to find out about Mohammedanism. He calls the massacre by Major Nidal Hassan at Fort Hood, shouting “Allahu Akbar,” “workplace violence.” What Orwellian euphemism has he used for the murders at the Boston Marathon? The Russian government had warned the U.S. about the Tzarnaev brothers, but they fell on the deliberately deaf ears of Obama’s government agencies.

    Who seriously believes these people are “radicalised” They learned their admiration of the muslim world, as well as their hatred of the west, from their parents and their “community”.

    Multi-culturalism is a complete disaster. Muslims do not want to accept a democratic, western, secular society and retain their allegiance to their theocratic, totalitatian roots. And multi-culturalism gives them the ability to do this because it creates cultural ghettos who have no need or desire to integrate.

    Let these girls go to their paradise and make it a one way ticket.

    3 ringwraiths straight from the Tolkien trilogy. What a photo!

      Oct 22, 2014 at 4:39 am

      3 ringwraiths from the Tolkien trilogy?

      Yes!

      And to think that these 3 teenage Muslimah ghouls have chosen to *willingly* submit to Islamic doctrine and the “pleasures” of Sharia.

      But will they continue to enjoy the Koranic beatings and Islam sanctioned misogyny of the Islamic State?

      4:34 Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.

      4:11 Allah enjoins you concerning your children: The male shall have the equal of the portion of two females; then if they are more than two females, they shall have two-thirds of what the deceased has left, and if there is one, she shall have the half; and as for his parents, each of them shall have the sixth of what he has left if he has a child, but if he has no child and (only) his two parents inherit him, then his mother shall have the third; but if he has brothers, then his mother shall have the sixth after (the payment of) a bequest he may have bequeathed or a debt; your parents and your children, you know not which of them is the nearer to you in usefulness; this is an ordinance from Allah: Surely Allah is Knowing, Wise.

    My fellow Americans and Europeans. I ask you to please get more education on Islam. These girls cannot handle even a hand gun or even hold a knife and stab somebody! This is their only chance to GET F**CKD which is forbidden to them, especially when they are unmarried! Don’t you guys see that they HORNY BITCHES who are not allowed to even show their face? How in the hell are they going to fight with such shitty attire? Remember those two girls who have just returned, BOTH PREGNANT! This is their BEST CHANCE to SASTISFY THEIR SEX DESIRE!!!

    they just aren’t satisfied with life here in the USA, where uncle sugar protects them and provides for their every want, as payment for services rendered by their kinsmen in Mogadishu, who played host to our peacekeeping soldiers so generously. something is missing……….what could it be……..I know! slavery! the poor things craved slavery, and just could not get it in the usa. we should be ashamed of ourselves, depriving those poor diversifying immigrants of the right to be slaves. obviously, now that we know our error, we must reinstitute slavery, to make our diversifiers happy.

    To the louts who made crude sexual comments about these misguided girls, you realize that if these girls are from devout Somali families, they almost certainly have been “circumcised,” which for females means their clitorises have been cut out. Therefore they cannot feel sexual desire. No, these girls were genuinely politically brainwashed, not motivated by lust.

    Oct 22, 2014 at 9:01 am

    The penalty ought to be, to send them to Syria or Iraq, then revoke their passports.

    We don’t want them back. Let them stay in whatever shithole they choose. Soon they will be totally irrelevant, bearing raghead children and washing raghead skivvies.

    People are being very naive here. Where did they get the money? IS is estimated to have made $20M from ransom payments alone in 2014! Passports? Do you not understand how easily they are forged? Heck, if you have a hajib on, no one can see your face – you could use Minnie Mouse’s passport! And why teen girls? – contrary to “Jay” who believes girls want to be “whores” – idiot – radical Islam targets western girls and has for DECADES. Some teen girls are vulnerable to being romanced by muslim men who promise to wed them and give them a great life – the girl arrives in the Middle East and finds the truth is otherwise – and she is used for reproductive purposes, OR she is indoctrinated and pushed into acting as a spy or suicide bomber. (Study how many western teen girls are suicide bombers or end up arrested as terrorists in the middle east.) Wake up people. As someone here said, these girls were Muslim in their upbringing – a ‘religion’ that does not respect integration into the customs of a host country, even in the second and third generations. Other girls are Christian, blond, and are still lured under the guise of finding a dark and handsome sweetheart in a mysterious distant land, who is “fighting for a just cause”… We have to start speaking truth to our kids. And we have to call out schools for watering down and teaching soft tenets of Islam while rejecting mention of other religions in textbooks. We have to be discussing political realities with teens, we have to show them photos of atrocities. We have to tell them the fucking truth.
