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

Second Muslim from Australia killed waging jihad for the Islamic State

Mar 19, 2015 7:28 am By Robert Spencer

Abu Jihad al Australi“Spill blood young aussies. Don’t be humiliated especially if u cant b here in sham (Syria).” In other words, if you can’t come wage jihad in the Islamic State, then murder non-Muslims in Australia.

“Second Australian Islamic State jihadi killed in Syria,” The Australian, March 19, 2015:

A Melbourne university student has reportedly been killed in Syria fighting for Islamic State.

Unconfirmed pictures on social media claim 23-year-old Suban Rahman, known as Abu Jihad al Australia, lying dead with a rifle on his body.

A tweet apparently posted by his wife says: “May Allah accept Abu Jihad al Australi, obtained Shahada in ayn al-Islam. Reunited with my husband in Jannah.”

Another tweet, apparently by the same woman, reads: “I’m the most content I’ve ever been in my life.”

Content, eh? No more beatings? No more oppression?

Rahman, from Roxburgh in Melbourne’s north, had posted pictures of himself online posing with a silver-plated AK-47 gun in Syria.

In a post sent in January, Rahman urged others to “let the heads fly and blood flow.”

He added: “Spill blood young aussies. Don’t be humiliated especially if u cant b here in sham (Syria).”

He also posted pictures of himself with notorious Sydney extremist Mohamed Elomar, who last year posted pictures of himself holding the severed heads of Syrian government soldiers.

Rahman’s father has reportedly said his son had brought shame on the family….

    who else but one of these would be so happy with the death of a supposed loved one?

    His death is a double bonus for the Australian tax payer. One less useless bullshit Melbourne University place to fund, plus one less ungrateful Centrelink recepient. Now hopefully the other 50 plus “Aussie” Muhammadians meet a similar demise.

      Jihadists who betrayed Australia should be considered ineligible for re-entry. Countries with the jihadist problem should all prepare a penal colony where jihadists can be segregated and quarantined for life.

      They are too dangerous to readmit to society.

        Amen to that, Mortimer.

        We have plenty of desert where they can fancy themselves to be imprisoned in Arabia. We even have camels, so they can drink to their hearts’ content.

        I reckon the Australian desert would be a swell place for a penal colony for jihadis.

    Good. Roast in pieces.

    400 supporters of ISIS every day try to go to Syria from Australia. Why is that? Why does Australia have so many more jihadists per population?

    This should be studied. The answer to that question is extremely valuable. Why is the jihad fever stronger in Australia?

      Because of the large number of Lebanese muslims imported as “refugees” in the’80’s.

      Nothing but trouble.

      Usually taxpayer funded trouble.

      “400 supporters of ISIS every day try to go to Syria from Australia. Why is that? Why does Australia have so many more jihadists per population?”

      Great question, Mortimer. One possible answer is that maybe Australia doesn’t have any greater number – they’re just better at identifying and tracking the problem.

      Reminds me of that old saying, “As long as you don’t pay too close of attention everything will appear to be just fine.” Frightening!

    What do you mean “second”? There’s been dozens of Austrakians killed fighting for ISIS in Syria… If a reader hasn’t been following events this headline would seriously understate the extent of Muslim Australians involvement in violent jihad abroad and mislead them into believing it’s ibky a handful of people who somehow misinterpreted peaceful teachings as violent teachings, somehow…

    Good news.

    Here in Britain the BBC has agonised for days about how we let down “three British schoolgirls” who ran off to join the head hackers.

    A great contrast is made in the post Liberal Monsters” between the BBC ignoring the rape and torture of 1400 underage girls in the city of Rotherham and how they play up the tragedy of three girls who watched IS atrocities on the news every noght and decided they wanted some of that.

    It’s at: http://john-moloney.blogspot.com/2015/03/liberal-monsters-ii.html

      The BBC seems to be hastening its own demise. It doesn’t chime with the public any more at all. The current Jeremy Clarkson affair really highlights that.

    Excellent! Great news to read about over my morning coffee.

    As tempting as it is to let these jihadists go and get themselves killed, it is immoral. It is more than obvious that the ISIS fighters kill and torture anyone who opposes them, without distinction between military or civilian. The governments know this, and it is therefore immoral, if not illegal, to allow their nationals to leave the country with a clear intention to commit murder and atrocities in other places.

    Mortimer has a good idea with a penal colony where the would-be jihadists are interned for life. Let me weigh in with another idea: allow the would-be jihadists to leave, but deliver them in custody to the government in the area, which would be the Syrian government. The problem could then be disposed of with the cost of a few bullets and a shovel. Of course, it may be the would-be jihadists would convince the Syrian government that they had a chance of heart, and would like to join the Syrian army.

    Allowing a jihadist out of the country to join ISIS is exactly the same as allowing a serial killer to leave the country, being entirely unconcerned with the people he will kill at his destination.

    Quran says he is not dead. He is merely roasting in hell.

    If you should die or be killed in the cause of Allah, His mercy and forgiveness would surely be better than all they riches they amass. If you should die or be killed, before Him you shall all be gathered. – 3:157-8

    You must not think that those who were slain in the cause of Allah are dead. They are alive, and well-provided for by their Lord. – Surah 3:169-71

    Let those fight in the cause of God who sell the life of this world for the hereafter. To him who fights in the cause of God, whether he is slain or victorious, soon we shall give him a great reward. – Surah 4:74

    If the Australian government has the class, and intellectual consistency, to do it, they would fly the national flag at half mast today to commemorate Suban Rahman’s passing.

    No wonder she’s contented: he’s dead at last. Where is she? Still in Australia? Now applying for additional benefits as a widow?

    He’s dead.

    Good.

    Scratch his name off ASIO’s and the AFP’s long, long list of “People To Worry About”.

    One thing Muslims do not do is appreciation and gratitude. They are allowed to enter a country accept all its advantages and benefits, especially the benefits and then want to destroy it
