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

India: Muslima arrested for recruiting for the Islamic State

Sep 11, 2015 11:20 am By Robert Spencer

Afsha Jabeen “allegedly influenced Hyderabad resident Salman Mohiuddin to join the Islamic State.” Salman Mohiuddin “joined the Texas Southern University for a MS degree in Transportation Planning and Management” and “had also left messages on ISIS websites and on social media pages of jihadi groups in Syria.” Were Texas Southern University officials aware that they had a jihadi on campus? Given the far-Left tilt of academia these days, would they have cared if they did know?

Afsha Jabeen

“Hyderabad woman held at airport could be Islamic State recruiter,” by Sreenivas Janyala, Indian Express, September 11, 2015 (thanks to Lookmann):

Afsha Jabeen, 38, alias Nicole alias Nicky Joseph, who was thought to be a British national is actually from Hyderabad’s Tolichowki area.

The Police at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport at Shamshabad on Friday arrested a woman who allegedly influenced Hyderabad resident Salman Mohiuddin to join the Islamic State.

Afsha Jabeen, 38, alias Nicole alias Nicky Joseph, who was thought to be a British national is actually from Hyderabad’s Tolichowki area. On January 16 this year, Salman Mohiuddin was arrested by the police just before he boarded a flight to Dubai with the intention of joining the Islamic State. Officials said that he had planned to travel to Syria via Turkey.

Salman had told officials that he opened several Facebook accounts along with one Nicky Joseph, who he first claimed was a British national living in Dubai. Salman also added that Nicky Joseph had influenced and invited him to join her in Dubai in order to go to Syria. Both of them indoctrinated and motivated several youth via social media platform to get attracted towards the activities of ISIS and jihad.

During investigation it was found that Nicky Joseph was not a British national but in fact, is an Indian and her real name is Afsha Jabeen hailing from Towlichowki area of Hyderabad. A graduate of Shadan College, she is married and was living with her husband in Dubai where she got attracted to IS and started recruiting people to join them.

She befriended Salman and both of them were actively involved in indoctrinating youth, official says. “She arrived from Dubai on Friday morning and we have arrested her as co-accused in the Salman Mohiuddin case,’’ an official said.

Salman Mohiuddin, 32, a resident of Bazaar Ghat under Habeebnagar Police Station in Hyderabad, was arrested this January by Hyderabad Police from the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport at Shamshabad on suspicion that he was flying to Dubai, and from there to Syria via Turkey, intending to join the Islamic State.

Officials say, the tip-off came directly from a US intelligence agency which was monitoring Salman’s movements ever since he left US last October after he was denied a visa extension. Salman’s father, Ahmad Mohiuddin is a garments trader. Salman, who worked at several places including a car rental firm and pharmaceutical compamy in Houston for last many years, had come to Hyderabad last October.

In 2011, he joined the Texas Southern University for a MS degree in Transportation Planning and Management and after passing out, was working with the private firms in Houston, mostly as a sales executive. He had earlier completed his B.Tech (ECE 2002-08 batch) from Anwarul-Uloom College of Engineering and Technology at Vikarabad, on the outskirts of Hyderabad. Officials said that a US intelligence agency was keeping a watch on Salman’s movements after finding that he was frequently visiting the websites of ISIS and jihadi websites. “He had also left messages on ISIS websites and on social media pages of jihadi groups in Syria,’’ an official said.

      Thanks bro as a Muslim you didn’t support those terrorists. These terrorists bringing very bad bad name to your religion if normal Muslims support them then no body believe a single Muslim also. All this world is turning towards Islamic terrorism it’s your duty as a normal Muslim to fight against extremism in your religion. We all live peacefully without terrorism you, me, we everyone just enjoy this beautiful life give to us by God, didn’t destroy this society by supporting terrorists. We didn’t hate Muslims we hate terrorists and those who support them in their hearts. I know so many Muslims were peacefully but they didn’t come out and oppose terrorists. Hope our future will be secure.

        That is not gonna happen I’m afraid…Once Islam takes root and gets more power in a country, ordinary Muslims follow suit. It has happened throughout history and will continue in to the future. The key is to not allow Islamic immigration to the West. It needs to be contained or else Western civilisation is doomed.

      What is ZAHEER HUSAIN KHAN’s actual view of violent JIhad? Does he actually oppose it, or is he just slamming this woman’s looks? I wouldn’t count on the former…

    Oh, I feel so much better knowing this Islamic jihadist living in America is being WATCHED. Yes, that rigorous method of WATCHING worked out well in NYC, Boston, Garland, Charlotte, Portland, NJ, Oklahoma, Phoenix, etc, etc…….yes, I’m sure everything is juuuuuuust fine.

    The best way to handle ISIS recruiters, is to castrate them when they are caught. That way, ISIS will not want them back. We have to be as harsh as possible in order to give notice to ISIS that they will no longer recruit people from overseas. This therefore is the only real solution to the recruitment problem and should be adopted immediately.

    If ISIS wants a real WAR, let us give them one.

    And the PC morons in India continue with their refrain that Indian muslims are “different” from other muslims in that they are not radicalized.

    • Angemon says

      Sep 11, 2015 at 7:43 pm

      We see that pattern everywhere: no muslim is “radicalized” until the day it’s discovered they are, which is when we find out that their family was “shocked” that they became radicalized, the imam of the local mosque will deny he went to his mosque, and then we see that no one noticed the telltale signs – becoming more observant of their religion, cutting ties with friends and family, growing a beard, making (like Major Malik Hasan did) PowerPoint presentations praising jihad and leaving those who see them thinking “one of these days this guy is going to kill someone in the name of allah”, etc.

    India: Muslima arrested for recruiting for the Islamic State

    Afsha Jabeen “allegedly influenced Hyderabad resident Salman Mohiuddin to join the Islamic State.” Salman Mohiuddin “joined the Texas Southern University for a MS degree in Transportation Planning and Management” and “had also left messages on ISIS websites and on social media pages of jihadi groups in Syria.”
    …………………………………

    Note that this story involves India, Britain, the United States, Dubai, Syria, Turkey, and the Islamic State. Not exactly the Kumbaya vision of globalism so many have hoped for…

    More:

    Were Texas Southern University officials aware that they had a jihadi on campus? Given the far-Left tilt of academia these days, would they have cared if they did know?
    …………………………………

    Texas Southern is a historically black university–meaning they most likely mistakenly consider Islam part of African-American heritage. Never mind that Islam did more than any other factor to create and foster black slavery.

    More:

    Afsha Jabeen, 38, alias Nicole alias Nicky Joseph, who was thought to be a British national is actually from Hyderabad’s Tolichowki area.
    …………………………………

    Afsha Jabeen sounds pretty Islamic–but Nicky Joseph sounds about as un-Muslim as possible–Christian or Atheist. This is not accidental.

    More:

    During investigation it was found that Nicky Joseph was not a British national but in fact, is an Indian and her real name is Afsha Jabeen hailing from Towlichowki area of Hyderabad. A graduate of Shadan College, she is married and was living with her husband in Dubai where she got attracted to IS and started recruiting people to join them.

    She befriended Salman and both of them were actively involved in indoctrinating youth, official says. “She arrived from Dubai on Friday morning and we have arrested her as co-accused in the Salman Mohiuddin case,’’ an official said.
    …………………………………

    Generally, it is very Haram for Muslimahs to correspond with unrelated men–recruiting for Jihad is, of course, an exception…

      Beautifully put the last three senteces. For the cause of Allah (cause of Mo) and his favourite past time jihad every haram becomes a halal. So muslims staying in Britain and else where can indulge in haram practices like drinking and eating non halal meat and pigs to misguide us Dhimmis towards our own demise to serve the cause of their beloved Allah (and Muhammad ) who know only conquest, war booty slavery and rape and providing money to European countries to build mosques for fleeing refugees to pray in instead of providing food, clothing and shelter including transportation for them to come into their countries. These same Arab countries poured in billions to completely make syria, Iraq, Yemen and Palestine into complete hell holes where no one can live.

      God forsaken muslims – leave Islam if not for your own sakes at least for the sake of your families and unborn children. Don’t believe in God, if you want don’t even follow any other religion but for your own sake leave Islam.

      So! In your ignorant opinion I have never been to India? I was a member of the British Merchant Navy and have visited India. I have been to towns in India which you might never have heard of. Please get yourself an education before opening your ignorant mouth. The official name of India is BHARAT. Now go find out for yourself.

      To put it bluntly, you are an IDIOT!

    “she is married and was living with her husband in Dubai where she got attracted to IS and started recruiting people to join them.”

    What is it with living in Dubai that got her attracted to Dubai.?

    Is there a Dark Side To Dubai.( apart from the slavery of construction workers)?

      I have been to Dubai on a number of occasions. Peel away the thin veneer of glitz, that has been purchased with Western oil money, and its just another Arab shytehole.

    Robert, Thanks for your highlights.

    But did he go to any mosque? The article does not say.and they did not ask.So if he did not he id not a jihadi?

    Looks like he was well off and had jobs so where did Marie Hauf get her ides from that if only the recruited had jobs they would not need to go and join IS.
