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

Australia: 12 Melbourne Muslimas flee suburbs to join Islamic State

May 28, 2015 7:52 pm By Robert Spencer

Zuhra DumanStill, officials show no realistic curiosity about the source of this appeal. They determinedly ignore that source, for it would lead them into considerations about Islam that would be uncomfortable for their politically correct fantasies.

“Police reveal a dozen Melbourne girls fled our safe suburbs to join Islamic State,” by David Hurley, Herald Sun, May 29, 2015:

A DOZEN young women have fled Melbourne’s suburbs to join Islamic State, according to a new Victoria Police taskforce set up to fight the growing threat of terrorism.

The Herald Sun can reveal that of the 12 who have attempted to join the brutal group, five have been successful and are living in the conflict zone.

Four of the women got as far as Turkey before being turned back; one was stopped by Customs in Australia; and two are unaccounted for.

Widow Zehra Duman and mother Dullel Kassab are two of the women now living under Islamic State.

In the past two months, Victoria Police has set up Taskforce Pax to try to fill gaps in intelligence in the fight against terrorism.

Assistant Commissioner Tracy Linford, who is in charge of the Security and Organised Crime Intelligence Unit, said the new taskforce was set up to cater for the large increase in terrorism-related work since the threat level was raised last September.

Authorities are concerned that women who have joined IS are contacting vulnerable young females in Melbourne to persuade them to join and to give them advice on how to make the journey to Syria.

Most of the 12 women are 18 to 20; one is 29.

“We are seeing a trend of young females travelling over there,” Ms Linford said.

“I suspect there are more than 12, but these are the ones we have a good understanding of.

“What we have seen is deliberate attempts on their part to cover up what they are doing,” she said.

“Our intelligence tells us these women are going over there to meet their partners, to marry somebody in an arranged marriage or be pushed into sexual servitude.”

“They have told family and friends a story which is not what it seems to be. They say they are going somewhere else or travelling for some other purpose.”

More than 30 men are known to have left Melbourne to join Islamic State.

The 12 women who have left are from Melbourne’s northern and south-eastern suburbs.

Ms Linford said they had a misguided view of what life would be like for them.

“There is a romantic view of life there,” she said.

“It doesn’t surprise me these young women can be romanticised by false truths coming through on social media,” Ms Linford said.

“They are told they have an important role to play in setting up the Islamic State.”…

    Perhaps I just don’t know the structural format of intel collection in Australia but I’m confused as to why terrorism (a form of warfare) is delegated to the Police Intelligence Unit and not a FBI type organization or the Military. Second, as Robert points out every time he has the opportunity, without understanding the motivator and different behaviors that will be followed given certain actions; you are just getting lucky and looking for a needle in a haystack. I’m sure WWII Australia learned quickly the Shinto religion, Emperor, hierarchy of command and no questions asked, and Bushido. This knowledge gave Australians what they needed to know about the Japanese soldier from General to private. Some how in 2015 we are resisting as hard as we can to reject that the Qur’an, Hadith have anything to do with a declared Jihad ISIS and undeclared one the Muslim Brotherhood. We have so many accomplices aiding this crime that long term will cause many more “non-believers” to die before there is a groundswell that says screw you government.

    • mortimer says

      May 28, 2015 at 9:22 pm

      Excellent points. If Australians could understand Bushido, they can certainly understand the jihad doctrine and the supremacist, us-versus-them attitude the Muslim teenagers proudly exhibit to one another.

      This conspiratorial is seen by all teenagers, whether Muslim or not. The more seriously Muslim teenagers will be the ‘in crowd’.

      The answer is to make jihad UN-CHIC…to make it look foolish, to make it look irrational, to make it moronic. This will require demolishing the legitimacy of Islam as a valid faith. Without debunking Islam, it can’t be stopped. Islam is nothing but a heinous Death Cult with no beneficial side to it. All the prayers, the actions, the fastings, the jihads of Islam are of benefit to no one. The purpose of it all was to support the caliphate. We’ve seen how the totalitarian caliphate doesn’t fit in the modern world.

        it’s not up to us to influence Muslim kids. Their parents should be bringing them up with love and teaching them right from wrong. If they are exposed to extreme views at home we can’t make much difference.
        We should not be fooling ourselves thinking that these kids are being influenced by internet. They are influenced by their parents, uncles and aunts, cousins and friends from mosques and their wider community. They don’t mix with our children because they don’t want to. They are encouraged to mix only in Muslim communities. We are powerless against such closed communities.
        The only solution is to stop Muslim settlement in our countries and try to send back as many as we can.

        • No Fear says

          May 28, 2015 at 11:54 pm

          Why would Muslim parents “bring them (their children) up with love and teach them right from wrong”?

          I have read the Quran and a lot of Hadith. There is NO love in those documents. There is only obedience and supremacism.

          Islam teaches “that which promotes Islam is right” and conversely “that which demotes Islam is wrong”. There is NO golden rule.

        • Westman says

          May 29, 2015 at 1:45 am

          No Fear,

          How right you are about the lack of love in Islam. Can anyone list the top 40 Islamic Love Songs of all time? Marriage contracts are determined before children can even read. In the West, there must be hundreds of thousands of songs about love and relationships; some of the very best musicals were written by Jews.

          Islam is the religion of slaves who give up personal development and self-determination for a delusion. Truly, there is no fun in Islam, nor is there any concept of “true love”. Islam was only invented to support the Warlords and pacify the unfortunate desert dwellers until death.

        • abad says

          May 29, 2015 at 8:14 pm

          There is no love in Islam because Islam is a religion of hate.

          Islam hates:

          Love
          Music
          Joy
          Dancing
          Industriousness
          Betterment of the human race
          Betterment of civilization
          Western art
          Beauty
          Love

          Yes love is in there twice for a reason.

      Australia also has a Federal Police Force which is being modeled more and more on the FBI.It also two intelligence security agencies along the lines of the CIA or MI5/I6

        So they’re gone. Good riddance. Now they go on a no-fly, or no-entry list so they can’t come back. And somebody checks them out: what do they have in common? A specific school? A mosque? And then that is checked out and either closed or put under new management.

    These women are so eager to join the Islamic State just so they can be some maniac’s sex slave, getting raped, beaten, and treated like dirt until they’re no longer desirable. Then kicked out in the cold, or murdered.

    I can see how misogynistic, selfish, lawless men might be attracted to Islam. It’s the women I just don’t get. Islam is a men’s club. I don’t understand why there isn’t a mass female escape So many women buy into this evil. They must be manipulated by demons.

    • Peggy says

      May 28, 2015 at 11:09 pm

      Their women are far too damaged to feel comfortable in a normal relationship. They have never seen a normal marriage and no matter how awful trhe situation the fact that it’s familiar is the drawcard.
      Some manage to escape this mainly because they are so strong emotionally but most are broken.
      I really believe that the reasonsome western girls convert to Islam is because they are so badly damaged too.

      • Rita says

        May 29, 2015 at 12:40 am

        “I really believe that the reason some western girls convert to Islam is because they are so badly damaged too.”

        and because the emasculation (by feminazis and assorted apostles of political correctness) of the Western man makes these “naive/stupid” reverts have masturbatory dreams about the “real and strong men, they think muslims/islamists are.

        • PJG says

          May 29, 2015 at 5:07 am

          Possibly one of the problems is that these girls are not allowed to have boyfriends, and they are hot to trot, so to speak. They want to be off the parental hook and having sex…so much better in a danger zone, maybe.

    • abad says

      May 29, 2015 at 8:16 pm

      They have no self-esteem, that is why they join Islam and become attached to those ugly, disgusting, hairy Neanderthals.

      You know, my parents were not perfect but they DID raise me to have a healthy sense of self-esteem about myself.

  3. TheBuffster says

    May 28, 2015 at 8:52 pm

    So are the local mosques making a concerted effort to investigate what these girls are being told online, and to inform their worshippers of the truth? That would be the logical thing for them to do *if* they aren’t down with the Islamic State and if they care about the welfare of the young people in their congregations.

    These kids aren’t going to believe it coming from the kaffirs, for certain. But even if their imams are warning them, that doesn’t mean these girls would listen. Caught up in the “romance” (geez) of the Islamic State and the lies that have seduced them, they could easily believe that their Imams have been mislead and corrupted by the kaffir media and authorities.

    Nevertheless, the mosques should be putting forth a full-on effort to inform their members of what it’s *really* like in the land of ISIS, making sure that their young people are at least offered the message that the Islamic State is lying in order to lure them over there to a hell on earth. If a mosque isn’t on board with the effort to inform and de-radicalize their youth, then that mosque should be considered to be working for the enemy.

    So, what’s going to happen to the young women who have been stopped from getting to IS? And what about those who claim to be disillusioned and who try to come back?

    What *should* happen?

    • Peggy says

      May 28, 2015 at 11:14 pm

      The way I see it, if their parents didn’t want to throw away the shackles of Islam and bring their kids up with love and civility why should we care what happens to them? Let them go there and the less that come back here the better.
      We can’t dismiss parental influence in all this. Isn’t it strange that only Muslims have so many delinquent children? Yes, we have delinquents too but ours don’t go overseas for beheadings and rape.

    • Rita says

      May 29, 2015 at 12:34 am

      “What *should* happen?”

      Stop all muslim immigration (including so-called “refugees”).
      Let those who want to go to their Jihad – but prevent them from coming back
      Stop financing the Islamisation of Australia and the West

      and:

      Investigate (objectively and courageously) ALL Mosques, stop the building of any new mosques, do not finance any Mosques because:

      “The mosques are our barracks,
      the domes our helmets,
      the minarets our bayonets
      and
      the faithful our soldiers…”

      ―ADOLF Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has Caliph ambitions.

    • PJG says

      May 29, 2015 at 5:10 am

      Yes, the allure of thinking they are helping to make history. I’m sure thee were women in Germany during Hitler’s time who had a similar impetus.

    May 28, 2015 at 9:51 pm

    Not only should we not stop them – we should export them there – one-way ticket, never to be returned. Part of the problem solved.

    As to the source/promoters for their “inspiration”: start by looking into our NATIONAL TAX PAYER FUNDED broadcaster: ABC (who get the bulk of their “news” from Al Jazeera) and SBC, plus their dhimmy commercial colleagues, the Fairfax Press and outlets of the english Nazi paper the Guardian enthusiastically assisting them in their Taqjia.

    The so-called “Expert on Islam”, a Waleed Aly – whose converted wife wears the veil and also appears front of the camera for our ABC – is, at best, a Boko Haram apologist: when that branch of Islam kidnapped the 250 or so mainly Christian girls from their school he described the Slave Traders as “a little unknown, not very dangerous group”.

    Etc. etc. et bloody cetera !

    • Peggy says

      May 28, 2015 at 11:24 pm

      I’ve stopped watching The Project because of that Waleed person. Before he became permanent on that show we had a chance of not having to put up with him so I took a chance and watched it but now I can’t do it .
      He tries to come across as just one of the guys but he is still one of them.

      • Rita says

        May 29, 2015 at 12:23 am

        Waleed Aly, the most insidious islamiser has infiltrated every niche of Australian influence where he can practice his Taqjia and proslethise (and also cash in of course): he is on ABC TV, ABC Radio, Commercial wannabe politicially correct Chanel 10 (Sydney) and a couple of Melbourne Universities. He and his converted, islamically veiled wife are on every Australian TV panel as “experts” on the “victimisation of Muslim/islam” possible.

        I reach for the vomit bucket as soon as his …….face appears.

        • Peggy says

          May 29, 2015 at 1:07 am

          He makes me sick too. His brain damaged wife is dangerous because she is a face of white Islam which can be mistaken for reasonable.
          Monash University has an excellent reputation but it won’t last for long once we defeat Islam. Muslims have bought our better universities and America’s universities. Reputation of western education is on the line.
          I don’t listen to ABC radio or watch ABC TV. Can’t afford to stress too much and listening to that garbage would do it.

      May 29, 2015 at 12:18 am

      correction: SBS (not SBC)

      PS: The ABC and assorted propagandists are now starting to “report” on the “Islamic State” and actually seem to disagree with it. They must have gotten the “green light” from their Al Jezeera bosses, since IS even attacked the Saudis recently.

  6. Bronson says

    May 28, 2015 at 11:34 pm

    As to why this is being handled by the Victorian police one just has to remember that nearly all Australian politicians, and 100% of those in charge of public administration, and all bureaucrats insist on seeing these situations as criminal activity which has nothing to do with Islam.

  7. No Fear says

    May 28, 2015 at 11:55 pm

    These women are susceptible to Stockholm Syndrome. They are attracted to the most violent men who , by their violence, are perceived by the women as “stronger” and more “fit for survival”.

  8. Infidel from Down Under says

    May 29, 2015 at 12:44 am

    All not helped here by the fact Daniel Andrews the Socialist left wing Premier of the state of Victoria of which Melbourne is the capital city, is in continual denial that the Islamic religion is anyway connected to ISIS,,jihadism or terrorism

    Until everyone admits what the source of the problem is, this Islamic cancer will continue to grow

    Harj diu al Hilali, former grand mufti of Australia was today quoted in The Australian that there are thousands of young Muslims here ready for radicalization and action against us and he warned the government to that effect. He doesn’t say or admit to the fact that his words during his time as mufti stirred things up so much here as to raise most Australians ire against his words and actions.For someone who came here from Egypt with a dubious background, had many run-ins with our police, was outspoken against us over Sydney’s Skafe gang rape case and distorted it all so as to blame the victim as exposed “meat” instead, and who stirred the Muslim pot to make many prejudiced towards Muslims by what he said about Ausralians and how Muslims had more rights to Australia than the original convicts’ descendants here etc etc, and as someone who allegedly made false witness accusations against 4 others men at his mosque in Lakembla, over a wrecked door which proved to have been damaged by himself as a set up, and now it seems to have been quietly forgotten about. And who should have been deported long ago except for the intervention of senior Labor party heavies in the then federal government so as not to upset the Muslim community or vote via appeasement gone mad.
    For him to now blame everyone else but the Islamic doctrine and its directive [and us] which they believe are direct words from Allah, but which underlie all Islamic violence towards Jews, Christians and Infidels around the World and causing an increase in its potential here,really beggars belief.
