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

Islamic State doctor: “I made a very well-educated and calculated decision to come here”

Jun 18, 2015 4:58 pm By Robert Spencer

Kamleh’s decision to go to the Islamic State was “well-educated and calculated” on the basis of his commitment to Islam: “I saw this as part of my jihad for Islam,” he has explained. But that is the one aspect of his motivation that Western analysts are determined to ignore, and so they go searching for something else, anything else, that could possibly explain it.

“‘Pathology here is incredible’: Sex pest ISIS doctor boasts how much better Syria’s health system is compared to Australia – and describes a premature baby he delivered as ‘still kicking,'” by Sarah Michael and Leesa Smith, Daily Mail Australia, June 17, 2015 (thanks to Robert):

An Australian doctor who fled to the Middle Least [sic] to join ISIS has boasted about the quality of the medical services available in Syria on social media.

Tareq Badawi Kamleh, who fled to Syria in March, faced terrorism charges in an Adelaide court on Thursday.

Kamleh has been active on social media in the past week, posting an image of an X-ray done in Syria and saying the ‘Pathology here is incredible’.

He also posted an image of a premature baby he delivered last month, along with the caption ‘Our little half a kilo gem, still kicking several days on’.

Others commented on his Facebook post congratulating him for his work.

‘You can do it dr Tareq Kamleh,’ one person posted.

Another wrote: ‘Awww preterm baby… SGA [small for gestational age]? Hows the APGAR score bro? In Sha Alla the baby will grow healthy and a God- Fearing Mujahidin.’

An APGAR score is taken by assessing a baby’s heart rate, respiratory effort, colour, muscle tone, and reflex irritability shortly after birth.

The Australian Federal Police obtained an arrest warrant Kamleh when his matter was heard in the Adelaide Magistrates’ Court by Judge Elizabeth Bolton on Thursday.

The warrant relates to charges including membership of a terrorist organisation, recruiting for a terrorist organisation and entering or remaining in a declared area.

‘Should Dr Kamleh return to Australia, this warrant authorises law enforcement to arrest him immediately,’ the AFP said in a statement.

Kamleh has previously stated he never intends to return to Australia.

The court hearing was closed due to ‘national security’.

Kamleh appeared in an ISIS recruitment video earlier this year, calling on other foreign medics to join him.

It is unclear whether the charges related to his appearance in the video, or if he is accused of recruiting a specific person to the terrorist organisation.

Last month, Kamleh hit out at claims he was brainwashed into making the move to the Middle East in an open letter.

Kamleh, who was living in Perth until he moved to the Middle East in March, has responded to the the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency who confirmed it had taken action against the paediatrician after he appeared in an ISIS video urging foreign medics to join him.

Abu Yousef al-Australie, as he likes to be known, insists in the letter that his fundamental lifestyle change was an educated decision, while he also made scathing attacks on the country he vows to never call home again.

‘I made a very well-educated and calculated decision to come here, it did not involve any brain washing,’ the letter says.

‘I have come here as there are locals suffering from normal medical conditions despite being surrounded by war, with an overt lack of qualified medical care.

‘Is it not my humanitarian duty to help these children also?!…or only kids with white skin and blue passports?!’

Kamleh then goes on to blame Australia’s military involvement for more deaths than that of the extremist group.

‘Interestingly the 2 drone strikes that have occurred since I have been here have not claimed the life of a single male, let alone a solider…..good work “Team Australia”!!….from what I’ve seen you have more blood on your hands that ISIS has on their knives…’

The doctor, believed to be in his late 20s, slammed media reports that his holiday with friends in South Africa was a recruitment drive for ISIS.

‘This “recruitment camp” that the media continues to refer to was a fishing trip to Cape York with friends from Adelaide of 10 years, which consisted of 2 truckies with their wives, and a male nurse….all non-Muslim Caucasian Australians…..many photos of big fish and beautiful beaches to go with it…..I don’t think even they knew they were ‘expert recruiters’.’

Although Kamleh could face up to 25 years behind bars if he returns to Australia – he made it abundantly clear before signing off on his letter that he would not allow this to happen.

‘I never intend to return to Australia, I have finally returned home.’ …

        Australia has a better and more honest leader than the USA does with the dhimmi Obama in charge. Obama is such a dhimmi that he states that ISIS has nothing to do with Islam. Since ISIS is doing everything Muhammad did, then Obama must think that Muhammad had nothing to do with ISlam.

          in comparsion to obama all leaders are great in figthing islams jihad – even muslim country leaders are doing more than obama in the area !!! and im not exagerating its simply mind blowing to me – its as if obama thought “how can i completely destroy the middle east and give power to extremists everywhere”

          as an israeli i like austalias leader cause he seems pro-israel – but as a human being i think his a huge asshole for supporting the abousive horrible “live exports” of cows to israel and other places – where many cows die on the way and the journey itself is nothing less than abuse

    Islam seems to be the ideal religion for sadists, psychopaths and serial killers.
    Murder is not only promoted in Islam as a good thing, its done to make sure the victims suffer and die in agony. What kid of sick f**k would join this death cult???

    • Richie says

      Jun 18, 2015 at 6:37 pm

      Islam is also the best religion for pedophiles and rapists, given that rape and child molestation is widespread in Islam and accepted, and seldom goes punished.

      Sick bastards, I hope these muslims burn in Hell

      No other Religion promises the Reward of Gluttonous Janaah (Paradise) for Killing Innocents Humans Labeling Kafir. Thereby the Lusty get attracted to this promise. But as Islam promotes Taqiyaah, whether this Janaah is real or just imagination is not yet known.

      • mach37 says

        Jun 19, 2015 at 4:13 pm

        If Janaah means Paradise, why didn’t you just write Paradise in the first place? I want to see an end to Arabic words left untranslated in the middle of an English comment, where the English translation is just as short. Please – no more taqiyyah/ hiyal/ kidhb/ kitman/ tawriya (lying), Kafir/Kuffar (Infidel), etc.

    If they weren’t killing so many people – this could actually be funny.

    Like – you mean the reason you left was not because you did not have a job!!

    They are telling us what they think – but we don’t want to believe them.

    There’s a clip on You Tube of a Syrian fighter in an Israeli hospital.
    His comrades covered their faces but one spoke up.
    He said that in his group it was accepted that if any were wounded the others would try to get him to Israel.
    Not an indicator of great Syrian domestic healthcare.
    Glad the pre-term delivery worked out Doc. how long after having their throats cut does your opposition survive?

    ‘I never intend to return to Australia, I have finally returned home.’ …

    Good riddance! I hope they never allow him back in.

    Tareq Kamleh had a wayward moral compass. Who knows if a professional complaint was lodged that would have finished his career?

    However, a writer said this in April 2015: ” He has made a conscious decision that his religious identity transcends his national identity. We shouldn’t be too concerned that he is educated rather than a minor criminal or a teenage delinquent. What should concern us is why he and others can come to believe that their religion justifies participation in the imposition of an intolerant and VIOLENT RULING SYSTEM, and the belief that their own government HAS NO RIGHT to stop them from being part of the project. Until we can address that, people like Tareq Kamleh will continue to pop up in strange places.”

    http://www.lowyinterpreter.org/post/2015/04/27/Tareq-Kamleh-A-medical-jihad.aspx?COLLCC=600805307&

    My response to the writer is this: TRY READING THE SIRA AND HADITHS…the answers are there.

    Perhaps he can sew back on heads or fix up kids who have been crucified by his mates. Does he treat sex slaves who are raped continuously at the age of 10? Choices, he has chosen evil. Spawn of a dark God.

    All doctors swear a Hippocratic Oath. ‘Do no harm’ is the core principle. Promoting ISIS is incompatible with the oath he once swore. Whichever university bestowed a medical degree upon this derailed individual should remove his qualifications. Let us hear from the educational institution that presented Kamleh his certificate to practice medicine.

    • Doctor who says

      Jun 19, 2015 at 4:50 am

      Not true, Muslim Doctors take a different oath because they cannot swear an oath against Allah. Google it.

      • Jerry says

        Tareq bin Mengele I presume?

      • Jerry says

        Jun 20, 2015 at 5:35 pm

        The Islamic Medical Association has adopted their own Oath including the following extract:

        Hereby we take this oath in thy name, the Creator
        of all the heavans and the earth and follow thy
        counsel as thou has revealed to Prophet Mohrnmad
        (PBUH).
        ” … Whoever killeth a human being, nol in lieu of
        another human being nor because of mischief on
        earth, it is as if he hath killed all mankind. And if he
        saveth a human life, he hath saved the life of all
        mankind … ”

        You will note that the disclaimers “not in lieu of another
        human being nor because of mischief”
        would permit those who take such oath to take the life
        of Christians and Jews because they are “(like) the
        descendants of apes and pigs” and therefore not to be
        considered as human beings, the life of any person
        subject to real or imaginary vendetta because either that
        person or a person of their family, clan, tribe or nation
        have killed someone close to the Islamic doctor or any
        Muslim, or because of “mischief” which would include
        practising or believing in any other religion than Islam
        or being an Atheist, or homosexual or Shia to a Sunny
        or Sunny to a Shia etc.

        In practice, try to avoid Muslim doctors if you can,
        even the pork eating beer drinking ones lest they
        have a sudden attack of piety.

    I question the intelligence of anyone who brags about how “well-educated” they are; it shows a large gap in some aspects of their education and intelligence. Logic, for example, in how a drone strike that did not kill any soldiers compares to the blood on ISIS knives.

    As for someone who was brain-washed recognizing that he had been brain-washed? LOL.
