Here is the Mannan family’s full statement:
PRESS RELEASE DATED 3RD JULY 2015
FROM THE MANNAN FAMILY IN THE LAND OF KHILAFAH
In the name of Allah the Merciful and especially Merciful
We release this statement to confirm that, indeed we are in the Islamic State. A land that is free from the corruption and oppression of man made law and is governed by the shariah, the perfect and just laws of Allah subhanAllah wa Ta’la [the most glorified, the most high].
Yes, all 12 of us and why should this number be shocking, when there are thousands and thousands of Muslims from all corners of the world that are crossing over land and sea everyday to come to the Islamic State? That are willingly leaving the so called freedom and democracy that was forced down our throat in the attempt to brainwash Muslims to forget about their powerful and glorious past and now present.
Or is it shocking that those attempts have clearly failed? That regardless of being born and bred in the west, the epitome of democracy, our Islam was not washed away? And despite the totalitarian rules that are in place, Muslims are still awaking to their obligations?
Don’t be shocked when we say that none of us were forced against our will. In fact it is outrageous to think that an entire family could be kidnapped and made to migrate like this. It wasn’t by the command of a single person in the family but by the command of the Khalifah [caliph] of the Muslims. Who has called all Muslims, whether young or old, single or in families, to make hijrah [migration for the sake of Islam] to the state of Islam. A land that has established the Shariah, in which a Muslim doesn’t feel oppression when practising their religion. In which a parent doesn’t feel the worry of losing their child to the immorality of society. In which the sick and elderly do not wait in agony, tolerating the partiality of race or social class.
Alhamdulillah [thanks be to Allah] for the establishment of the Khilafah [caliphate].
We say to those that are concerned for our safety to put your hearts at rest for we feel safer than we have ever felt before. We call all Muslims, to rush to the command of your khalif. Race to your state. Race to what will give you honour in this life and the hereafter. Hasten to the obedience of Allah. Do not fear losing the life you built for yourselves by making hijrah but fear losing your Imaan and Islam whilst residing in darul kufr [house of unbelief] and not making hijrah.
‘Verily! As for those whom the Angels have taken (in death) while they are wronging themselves (as they stayed among the disbelievers even though emigration was obligatory to them), they (angels) asked them, “In what condition were you?”. They replied, “We were weak and oppressed on earth”. The Angels asked, “Was not the earth of Allah spacious enough for you to migrate therein?” Such men will find their abode in Hell – what an evil destination!” [Chapter Nisa:97] [Qur’an 4:97]
We pray Allah saves from such a fate and guides us all to be obedient to His commands. Ameen.
The Mannan Family in the Islamic State
One might almost get the impression that all this had something to do with Islam.
“Missing UK family of 12 ‘feel safe after joining Isis,'” Guardian, July 4, 2015:
A British family of 12 who went missing have joined Islamic State and feel safer than they ever have, according to a statement purportedly issued on their behalf.
The statement, sent to the BBC by a member of Isis, rejected claims that the Mannan family, who have not been seen since 17 May, had been kidnapped and forced to join the extremist group.
The BBC said it could not verify whether the statement is genuine.
“We say to those that are concerned for our safety to put your hearts at rest for we feel safer than we have ever felt before,” it read.
The statement is accompanied by two photos purportedly of family member Muhammed Abdul Mannan, 75, which have not been independently verified.
He and his wife, Minera Khatun, 53, went missing, with their daughter, Rajia Khanom, 21, and sons Mohammed Zayd Hussain, 25, Mohammed Toufique Hussain, 19, Mohammed Abil Kashem Saker, 31, and Mohammed Saleh Hussain, 26….
Khanom had links to banned Islamist group al-Muhajiroun, which had members in Luton.
Mo says
Strip them of citizenship and never let them return.
The level of commitment is striking, though! If only we in the West were as passionate about standing up for freedom as these jihadists are about obeying their death cult!
Champ says

Indeed, Mo!
bob kelly says
These people have some very deep-seated mental problems , this reverse migration back to the land of the terrorist, and that death is greater than life. After 1400 years of propaganda from their so called holy men these people really do not know how to think for themselves , a culture that runs directly contrary to progress, human rights, sexual and gender equality, pluralism, independent opinion and individual, scientific and ethical advancement – with out the western countries these people would still be on their camels killing each other over nothing. When are the politicians going to get their their laws together.
Voytek Gagalka says
“One might almost get the impression that all this had something to do with Islam.”
Me thinks that BBC, government circles et al. will NEVER admit that, of course. I recollect from old days of Soviet Union whenever apparatchiks were forced to find an explanation of escape of this or other dissident, almost routinely they described it that either they were 1) kidnapped by CIA, or 2) they suffered collapse of sanity (as if who would come on his/her own idea to escape from the society developping “wonderful” and all “perfect” communist system?) So, I guess, that with those elites now trumpeting to us ad nauseum that “it has nothing to do with Islam,” that will be the case: they’ll do everything in their power to hide obvious truth. Yea, they’ll say, they must lost their minds or misunderstood their religion; or assuredly they must have been kidnapped by Mossad, etc.
PRCS says
“Me thinks that BBC, government circles et al. will NEVER admit that”
Ultimately, they will have no choice.
jewdog says
What are those idiots doing in the UK to begin with? That country has gone insane.
jayell says
They are in the UK scrounging the material benefits of living in a society organised the way we do it. It’s just the goodies they’re interested in, which they get free of charge and never question whether or not they have a right to it all or deserve it. Basically, they don’t give a damn about the people who worked to produce it all and whose country they occupy in order to get it because, as far as they are concerned, it all comes from Allah and since THEY are the invincible, perfect, chosen people of Allah it would be theirs by right anyway.
A good example of this rather conceited thinking would be the Pakistani teenage girl (forgotten her name – was it Malala or something?) who was shot in the head and left for dead by her Taliban ‘friends’ in Pakistan because she wanted an education. She was expertly (and expensively) patched up and given an education in the UK, then turned into some kind of ‘heroine celebrity’ by the feminist-inspired liberal-leftie international media and (I believe) even given a Nobel prize basically for simply suffering the consequences of being in the wrong place at the wrong time and having the good fortune of being sorted out by a ‘responsible authority’ elsewhere (i.e., in this case, the good old British Government/taxpayer). When asked by a news reporter as to whom she should attribute her salvation, her reply was that she ‘thanked God (Allah)’. No mention whatever of the British Government who brokered her removal from Pakistan to a British hospital (and she is NOT a British citizen!), no mention of the British (or British-paid/supplied) medical and backup staff who made her treatment possible, no mention of the British teaching and support staff who made it possible for her to continue an education or those whose services would have been necessary to find her somewhere to live. No, apparently this all comes magically out of a tap or power outlet in the wall, put here by ‘Allah’? Which is all a bit ironic, since those kind gentlemen who apparently went out of their way to insert bullets in her brain in the first place were also ‘doing the will of Allah’. So, with this young lady’s generous testimony plus that of this marvellous ‘British’ family of 12, not to mention the rest of it, a general picture starts to emerge but, I am afraid, not a very edifying one.
Mirren10 says
Excellent points, jayell. This is indeed the mohammedan mindset. What is mind bendingly ienraging is the way our insane benefits system allows, no, **encourages** them to do it. As Maggie, God rest her said, eventually they’ll run out of other people’s money. Then what ?
And I totally agree with what you say about the ghastly malala bint.
jayell says
Perhaps the worst aspect of the ‘ghastly Malala’ business is that she was NOT some kind of Saint, selflessly sacrificing herself for the ‘rights’ of her proverbial ‘sisters’, she simply got caught in the cultural and literal crossfire whilst (hardly ‘selflessly’!) trying to advance HERSELF personally, and as a result found herself canonised by the international ‘We Can Have It All’ sisterhood – not that I would for one moment condone anyone (least of all our islamic friends) who might for any reason try to deny someone else their rightful educational opportunties. What is perhaps the most nauseating aspect of this saga was the hyped-up international hysteria that resulted in her elevation to Nobel Prize Winner status, which she’d done absolutely nothing to deserve but which seems to be yet another symptom of the odious ‘gynomania’ (for want of a better term) that is currently gripping the West. Another symptom can still be found regularly in the UK press decades after a ‘certain traffic accident’ in Paris, and I am quite convinced that a citizen of Roman Londinium transported by a time warp to the 21st. century would be quite amazed to discover that we still worship the Goddess Diana.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says

This is an excellent question, and the answer is that, yes, the country has gone insane, as you conclude.
But at least they kept Spencer and Geller out, and look at the unnecessary trouble those two stirred up in Texas. So the UK was vindicated on that one. It is an insane country that is vindicated as one that takes care of its people.
There is a reason that the “conservative” news entertainment superstars Bill O’Reilly and Laura Ingraham denounced Spencer and Geller as stupid. I didn’t say a good reason, just a reason. Peace, that’s the reason.
Joseph says
Yes, all 12 of us and why should this number be shocking, when there are thousands and thousands of Muslims from all corners of the world that are crossing over land and sea everyday to come to the Islamic State?

Holy Prophet APF says
Two reasons:
1) Money.
2) War; they are entering Dar al-Harb, the Land of War, to fight for the Cause.
The second reason is the primary one, although the first reason, money, is a nice-to-have because the Moslem hellhole they’re leaving ain’t real good at providing for its people because of colonialism and oppression we are told. And they take the money not to enjoy it but to be healthy and strong to wage the war, and to procreate more of themselves to do the same.

But, the governments DON’T WANT THEM TO EMIGRATE. Just JW alone, can see stories-girl/woman/teens (of both sexes) stopped from going to turkey; Syria; Somalia; etc. or to join ISIS.
JUST LET THEM GO.
But, our governments (in the US and Europe) stop them. Pure lunacy
Matthieu Baudin says
This family does not need a real state to live in, so therefore their UK citizenship (or residency rights) should be revoked. Britain and the rest of Europe only needs grateful and loyal immigrants.
ECAW says
Well done the Mannan family. What a marvellously clear explanation of the appeal of the caliphate to Muslims who take their Islam seriously. At least they know why the are doing it, unlike our leaders and those purporting to inform us. In a news bulletin the BBC referred to the old man “here shown pointing to the sky”.
Mirren10 says
.”In a news bulletin the BBC referred to the old man “here shown pointing to the sky”.
Dear God. This is why I *never* listen to anything the bbcrap puts out. My blood pressure just won’t take it.
Linde Barrera says
It is my understanding, after speaking to several different employees of the US State Department, that the UN High Commissioner on Refugees is the one making the decisions and calling the shots for any and all refugees to enter the US. They are coming by the thousands, and most as Muslims. WHY? Because the UN Commissioner listens to the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC). So I have to wonder if the Islamic State is as fabulous as this family of 12 says it is, why then are Muslims being directed into the US? I personally think something smells bad here.
Lia Wissing says
The USA should throw out the UN, use the funds (& the income from the green tower) to pay part of its debt and let the UN go find a place in Syria, Lebanon, Qatar … The UN’s very popular over there, for its immoral compliancy.
Linde Barrera says
To Lia Wissing- I love your idea about the US getting rid of the UN and the places you suggest they go. Many UN diplomats are in bed with the OIC (Organization of Islamic Countries) anyway. The UN seems ineffective in so many ways.
Oliver says
Back in the `1960 &70’s there was a group THE JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY that advocated getting the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US. They were thoroughly criticized by the press- although never harassed. ( disclosure: I went to college with the daughter of a chapter leader in New York. The family was Catholic, and fairly religious, and not bigoted).
As to the UN Building- it was suggested, make it a place for the New York homeless.
Celtic says
If you want to know what is wrong with Muslims just read the very first sentences. Sharia Law = perfect and just? LOL. Yeah right- beheading and lashing, killing gays for being gay and impose on all non-muslims a Dhimmi-tax surely is “just” and perfect.
What a bunch of lunatics. Let them have their barbaric society – as long as it does not infest ours.
Pere LaChaise says
Celtic, you jerk forgetting that the Middle East is the birthplace of Christianity and remains the homeland of the core of Christendom – Middle-Eastern Christians. You are obviously an ignoramus, as bad as any redneck Amurrikan who thinks Arab=Moslem.
News to you, wiseguy: Arabs were largely Christian before the moslems subjugated them to Mohd.’s cult. And 14 centuries later, many still are.
You are fine with consigning them to death at the hands of jihadist? You sound like a racist bigot as well as a fool.
Celtic says
Hello there
Where exactly did I even mention the word arab in my text?
Ah nowhere – right. Yes, a large part of the now Arab world was once Christian – and yes, this was ended by the religion of peace spreading.
You btw talk with a former Convertite to Islam – meaning an Apostate. So your claim of racism is obviously false. I’m in favour of helping the persecuted christians – but this will never happen as you know.
I’m also in favour of preferring christian refugees and keep the muslims out of western lands, since the muslims make trouble and the christians do not.
Why exactly are you so “angry” ? Did I offend you by rightfully criticizing Moses for what he did according to the Bible?
Celtic says
“And despite the totalitarian rules that are in place, Muslims are still awaking to their obligations?”
This.
You can’t get any more crazy than this. So the laws in the west are totallitarian in nature, while the death cult laws of Islam are what- “freedom” and “justice”?
particolor says
You have been here long enough to Know that You REVERSE anything a Muzzo tells You !!:-)
tilda says
I think we need laws saying that anyone who travels to territory under control of Islamic State is deemed to have abandoned heir citizenship in any western country where they have citizenship. The law should state that their citizenship is therefore automatically terminated. They should also be deemd to have abandoned any right to future citizenship and / or refugee status / rights in the west.
tilda says
Correction: “their” not “heir” citizenship.
Tommo says
Social services will be falling over themselves trying to get their benefits to them.
On the anniversary of the 7/7 London bombings, the BBC demonstrated their balanced reporting by showing an old film about the killing of Palestinian children by the IDF.
Holy Prophet APF says
Do not underestimate the New Caliphate as a nation. They have banks, and I’m sure they have the necessary computer equipment to process direct deposits. There may be a problem converting the English taxpayer donation money into New Caliphate money, but the workaround to that is obvious, simply transport their welfare income in the form of digital gold bullion to the Bank of Raqqa.
To do this, Britain must set up and operate a separate and discrete reserve of gold bullion for the purpose of dispensing welfare benefit money to those U.K. citizens who made the free and understandable choice to return to the home of their belief system, but I believe that the English have the heart and skill to do this. And I’m being serious here.
Linde Barrera says
To Holy Prophet APF- I read that the IMF (International Monetary Fund) in mid Ocober this year will promote the Chinese currency to become one of the premier world currencies, which is not supposed to bode well for the American dollar. Don’t know how this, if true, will impact your idea.
Lia Wissing says
If the khalifah is really calling them, why have so many not responded and gone, destroying their passports, breaking their oaths of allegiance to the West & relocating, one & all? Don’t they trust the chappie?
BC says
It says a lot about these people who have endured living in UK for many years and at least two generations, However not only were they not forced to settle there in UK and no doubt enjoyed many of the benefits of its welfare state but they did not emigrate to some other Islamic country in all those years. Yet when they do get off their backsides, they choose the emigrate to the IS which has the most extreme and murderous form of Islam it is possible to find..
Ramiz says
What a shame these guys are of Bangladeshi origin. As a fellow Bangladeshi and muslim born (now atheist) I can only say that we need to defeat this vile ideology of islam right now, expose the lies of islamic ideology, otherwise it is going to destroy everything that the human civilization has built for centuries. In 1971 my previous generation fought against the evil of islamic fascism of pakistan to create a secular state. 3 million bangalees were killed by the pakistani army in the name of preserving the islamic republic of pakistan. that country is gone now. what a shame. what a waste.
Mirren10 says
”What a shame these guys are of Bangladeshi origin. As a fellow Bangladeshi and muslim born (now atheist) … ”
Good to have another apostate from islam here. Our own Saleem Smith is another, who posts very illuminating info about islam.
It would be interesting to know what it was that led you to reject islam, Ramiz, if you feel like telling us.
Angemon says
I concur with this. Let them go from Western countries to their so-called “state”.
duh_swami says
The Islamic land rush is on.
‘A land that is free from the corruption and oppression of man made law and is governed by the shariah…’
That’s what they said about Pakistan, the ‘Land of the Pure’…look how well that worked out…
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
… we are in the Islamic State. A land that is free from the corruption and oppression of man made law…
Remember this the next time you’re set to pull the trigger on a posting mocking Moslems as those who hate and fight freedom. They said they went home for the freedom. They said that the English are corrupt and were oppressing them, that is true also. But bottom line is that they did it for the freedom. In this way the Mannan family stands with the likes of Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton, Washington, Jay, Adams and the other Founding Fathers, something to keep in my here in the wake of the Fourth of July, Independence Day.
My personal take is that Caliph Ibrahim sits at the right hand of James Madison in the pantheon of freedom. I always like Madison the most, and the Caliph is an amazing man. Action Jackson.
Oliver says
Alarmed–I hope that you are being sarcastic
andrew sapia says
These people should be encouraged to go to the Islamic State and never return. Family of 12, that is the entire problem is that they come to the west have 4 wives and 8 kids, it’s ridiculous. All western countries should be encouraging as many as want to go and even providing air fare.
Charlie Martel says
I’d contribute a hundred sovereigns to buy tickets as long as it was guaranteed that the Caliph will keep them.
Jenny H says
“In fact it is outrageous to think that an entire family could be kidnapped and made to migrate like this.” Pirates and slave-trading Muslims have certainly kidnapped and caused whole families and whole villages to “migrate” into slavery in the past. Even if the adults freely chose to answer the call, the children had no choice to be exposed to that murderous ideology..
Michael Niblett says
How many more of these Muslims have to leave to fight against the country they were born in before the government realises that they are never going to be real citizens .They are preaching a cause to take over ,.You become a Muslim or you are dammed ,end of story .there is no such thing as a moderate muslim ,if it hit the fan you would find out to your cost.
