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

Turkish cops detain UK Muslim family thought to be headed for Islamic State

Apr 20, 2015 10:52 pm By Robert Spencer

Islamic StateThis is not the family that tried to get there last week. This is a new one. They are coming all the time. Yet Western analysts still wave away the Islamic State’s appeal to Muslims worldwide by dismissing them as “un-Islamic.”

“Turkish police detain British family thought to be headed for Syria,” Reuters, April 20, 2015:

(Reuters) – Turkish police have arrested a British couple and their four young children on suspicion of seeking to travel to a part of Syria controlled by Islamic State militants, officials said on Monday.

Asif Malik, his partner Sara, and the four children – who are aged between less than 12 months and 7 years old – were detained at a hotel in an industrial district in the capital Ankara, a Turkish security official said.

British police said on Sunday the family had not been seen or heard from for almost two weeks and was thought to be heading to Syria. They appealed for information on their whereabouts after relatives voiced concern.

A British Foreign Office official confirmed that a couple and their children believed to be the missing family had been detained in Ankara and said British authorities were in touch with their Turkish counterparts.

The Turkish official said the family had crossed into Turkey by land via the town of Kirklareli near the Greek border on April 16 and that they had been detained after a tip-off from the British police….

    Old Timey Islam is a magnet for the malignant.

    You get to kill, rob, rape, lie, mutilate, torture and enslave.

    The desiderata of the diseased and demented.

    I wonder if the UK couple was receiving any state handouts?
    If so I wonder if they cancelled them before departure.
    If your desire is to live away from the influence of the detestable kuffar, you would surely want to rid yourself of his miserable culture.

      You WONDER?! You can stake your camel on it! I’ll bet the good old DHSS has kept them on hold for them,waiting patiently until they come back(which they will and already are).Now we have our “Dave” pledging more money for the “migrants” situation in Italy………..oh,ffs….roll on May 7th.

        How are you voting Ephesian? I have decided on UKIP, Dave’s appeasement sickens me. The fact he want to bring Shaker Ameer back to the UK was the final straw. This man could go back to his own country, Saudi Arabia, at any time. He wants to hold out for a return to the UK where he wants to establish a Sharia charity. Fast forward five years and a Home Secretary will be doing all in their limited power to remove him as a threat to national security..

          I am voting UKIP all the way.I always explain to people,instead of presuming UKIP want to do this and UKIP want to do that,go in any UKIP office and ask them whatever it is you aren’t clear about.Whatever it is,they will answer you.I had a visit today out of the blue by out town candidate,sat down and debated all kinds of stuff,whatever was brought up,he answered,no referring to papers,just came right out with it.My sister is undecided and I’ve urged her to do the same as I urge you.Cameron/Miliband turn my stomach,liars and I can’t abide liars.If you want the same,your nose drubbed in the dirt,vote for Cameron or Miliband…..

    The very word “partner” instead of wife tells me they were not legally married in the UL, but probably married in a mosque. She was getting full benefits as an unmarried mother..he would get jobseekers allowance..and she would be getting rental assistance in council housing for a large enough residence for her and the kids.

    Of course these UK Muslims reject infidel culture and beliefs.

    They consider infidel culture and beliefs to be “Jahiliyyah.” In Islamic theology jahiliyya essentially means the useless ignorance that prevailed upon earth before the advent and supremacy of Islam.

    A significant percentage of Muslims want to apply ALL OF ISLAM. They want to practice ALL OF ISLAM. Not just the false and sugar-coated feel-good parts.

    We ex-Muslims living with Islam’s formal and informal death penalty for apostasy know that Islamic theology is a complete fraud.

    Islam is no “religion of peace.” Islam is primarily a religion of “injustice, intolerance, hatred, and violence.” The fact is, if we non-Muslims were to say about Muslims what the Qur’an says about us, we would be arrested for hate speech. The Qur’an largely preaches discrimination, death, and imposition of its dogma on everyone. Certainly some Muslims will be offended by such statements, but frankly, so what? Judaism and Christianity, the world’s two other major monotheistic religions, have had to face the harshest of scrutiny and criticism for several hundred years which continues to this day. Islam must not be granted any special privileges or be exempt from such treatment – the implications are of tremendous importance

    Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:

    “One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur’an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way…

    The statement continues,

    Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.”

    It’s a big deal to leave one’s comfortable home to move anywhere let alone a war torn region. For every Muslim that goes, there must be many more ISIS sympathizers not willing to make the move.

    Yes they most likely were on benefits since there is no mention of paying work in the articles in the UK. Almost certain since the male is pictured attending demonstrations and associating with Anjem Chowdery. Anyone who has a job isn’t usually able to attend such daytime events.
    The UK government seems always anxious to “repatriate” the non-indigenous. That is repatriate them to our shores and not to their ancestral muslim lands.They even have “rehabilitation” and “deradicalisation” programmes even though they have been proven worthless – even in Saudi Arabia.
    I generally agree that we should “let them go where they want” but I most certainly don’t want them back – even the kids because they will be indoctrinated and grow into enemies wherever they are. One worry about letting them go though is that this is effectively imposition of enemies on the bulk of the Syrian population which presumably doesn’t support either ISIS ot the misnamed “freedom fighters”.

    Am I worried that some brainwashed people left the UK to join up with arrogant like minded in a country dominated by mozzies?

    NO I am not – I feel sorry for the indoctrinated kids but we should not try to get them back.

    It is a crime against humanity to allow the jihadis /jihadi families back into Britain or any other Western nation. Allowing Muslims back in gives their adored Muslims permission to wage violent jihad against hated infidel Brits. Whilst living a life of ease on full welfare benefits and in very nice free homes. The rewards never stop.

    The quixotic way even the women folk is engaged seriously to go to the nefarious ISI smacks of all logic. It is like virtually selling themselves as sex slaves– to be bartered by their so-called mentors at a convenient period. Will no good sense prevail over them? When you cannot live in this world peacefully, problems of course persist for every one, how are you sure of achieving the so-called eternal joy in Heaven?!

    “Brit jihadi teens join brutal all-female IS police to flog and torture women.

    “THREE British schoolgirls who fled to Syria have joined an all-female group of jihadis who run the Islamic

    State’s (IS) fearsome police force.”
