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

Mississippi Islamic State jihadi is son of imam

Aug 14, 2015 7:57 am By Robert Spencer

Islamic Center of MississippiHis father is shocked!, shocked! that his son would want to join the Islamic State, but as Daniel Greenfield points out here, the son doesn’t seem to have had a bad relationship with the father. Neither seems to have rejected the other for being a bad Muslim. Is it really likely that the son forsook the true, peaceful Islam that he learned from his father to embrace the twisted, hijacked Islam of the Islamic State, without ever having it out with dear old dad? The mainstream media is hopelessly compromised, but why does no one in law enforcement ever consider such questions?

“Media Covers Up Mississippi Mosque Imam’s Role in ISIS Case,” by Daniel Greenfield, FrontPage, August 12, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The FBI busted Muhammad Dakhlalla and Jaelyn Delshaun Young for trying to join ISIS.

Jaelyn Delshaun Young was the daughter of a cop before she converted to Islam and renamed herself Aminah Al-Amiriki. Muhammad is the son of a Mississippi Imam from a family of Palestinian Muslim settlers living in the United States.

Dakhlalla’s father, Oda H. Dakhlalla, is the longtime imam of the Islamic Center of Mississippi in Starkville, Harmon said, and has previously been reported to be a native of Bethlehem, in the West Bank.

The media is running all the usual stories about how shocked both families are.

Dakhlalla’s family is “absolutely stunned” by his arrest, said Columbus lawyer Dennis Harmon, who represents the family. He said Tuesday they have been cooperating with the FBI.

Here’s the stuff from the FBI complaint that the media is very deliberately leaving out.

Dakhlalla went on to state, “Aaminah (YOUNG) and I have our nikkah (Islamic marriage) approved by my father.”

Young also discussed her nikkah to Dakhlalla. She confirmed that they had his father’s blessing and she stated, “our nikkah will be this Saturday and in sha Allah will be in Dawlah (Islamic State) before end of July. Our story will be that we are newlyweds on our honeymoon.”

Young allegedly praised the July 16 attacks at military centers in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in which four Marines and a sailor were killed. “The numbers of supporters are growing,” she wrote.

Now this is not a clear confirmation that the father was aware they were joining ISIS, but he had to have known something was up.

Young and Dakhlalla weren’t just getting their nikkah on for true love. They wanted to avoid escort issues. It was part of their plan for joining ISIS. It’s unlikely that Young would have told her family, but it’s certainly an interesting question whether the Dakhlallas knew anything.

Muhammad appeared to have a good relationship with his father. He certainly wasn’t rejecting his father for practicing a bad or flawed version of Islam. And that’s telling too.

    Is there a ‘good’ or Golden-Rule version of Islam? Is it possible to remove the standard, supremacist jihad doctrine of Islam and still have ‘Islam’? Does ‘Islam’ (submission) cease to exist if your remove supremacist jihad from it? Does Islam cease to exist if it is no longer a theocratic political system?

      I can find no equivalent to “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another”, in the quran. The majority references to “love” or “affection” are in connection with what Allah loves or hates. It’s no wonder the practices like FGM persist since there is little empathy and marriage is based more on a contractual agreement.

      Evetything seems to be about what Allah “loves”; making Allah the arbiter of love. And Allah does not love the unbeliever.

      The Golden Rule in islam? That there is no greater virtue than jihad and dying in the cause of allah.

      There is no Golden Rule in Islam, as least as we are historically familiar with it. Muslims and Islam apologists alike usually try to trot out 5:32, with the usual omission of 5:33, but in reality, their golden rule only applies to Muslims, and even just certain types of Muslims, as we are prone to see empirically, on a daily basis worldwide.

    By his arrest, maybe, but I doubt that his particular brand of islam comes as a surprise to them.

    Jaelyn Delshaun Young was the daughter of a cop before she converted to Islam and renamed herself Aminah Al-Amiriki. Muhammad is the son of a Mississippi Imam from a family of Palestinian Muslim settlers living in the United States.

    Perfect choice of words – settlers. They’re certainly not here to blend in.

    Just another couple of benign tumours that turned malignant.

    As I see it Jaelyn Delshaun Young is a victim Muhammad Dakhlalla and his jihadist, racist, agenda. Islam had preyed on blacks since the 7th century and continue to do so. He converted her to the religion of jihad.

    When will black people read Islamic history, realize that Islam was used to justify the genocide and enslavement of black Africans, and realize that in Islam they’re considered the ‘abeed’?

    When will they realize that slaves are still being bought and sold all over the place in the Arab peninsula and Muslim Africa?

    Christian societies have abolished slavery based on Christian arguments. Muslim societies haven’t abolished slavery because of Muslim arguments. Too bad people keep lying about what is going on.
