Where did Andrey Karasik get the crazy idea that the Islamic State had something to do with Islam? Everyone knows that’s completely false. Maybe John Kerry or Pope Francis could send someone over to the Islamic State to try to find poor Karasik and explain the true, peaceful Islam to him.
“University professor fascinated with Islam ‘takes family to Syria to fight for ISIS,'” by Alix Culbertson, Express, April 7, 2016:
A UNIVERSITY professor who became fascinated with Islam has given up teaching to fight for Islamic State (ISIS) in Syria, according to local media.
Andrey Karasik allegedly left his home country Russia with his wife and three children, Jasmina, Amira and Amina.
Authorities are now closely monitoring the situation after the 39-year-old’s passport was spotting being used in Syria.
His disappearance came 10 years after he became intrigued by Islam.
The professor at the Volgograd Technical University in Russia initially had an innocent interest in the religion.
However, two years ago he allegedly became obsessed with the radical extremist movement under the influence of a friend who studied at the Volgograd Medical Academy.
Since then, he left his job as an English teacher to students studying technical specialities and persuaded his wife to accompany him to Syria where he has joined ISIS.
Islamic State fighters in Syria have reportedly blown up the ancient ruins of Palmyra, an ancient World Heritage home to renowned Roman-era ruins.
His father, also a university professor, does not understand why his son became fascinated with Islam.
Speaking to Russian site V1.ru, Vladimir Karasik said: “When he became interested in Islam, I thought he had gone mad.
“I never thought it would go so far. He left in July 2014, and said that he was in Germany.
“He called in late August, ‘I’m in the caliphate’.
“I asked him, ‘What are you doing? You’ve signed your own death warrant, people don’t come back from there.’
“And he didn’t go there alone but with his wife and kids. I was totally shocked. It was a nightmare that defies common understanding.”…

Good call.

Andrey Karasik should look at the above picture of himself and ask how he became a gleeful killer, ready to murder people merely because they have another faith or none?
Andrey Karasik has apparently lost his compassion and humanity by subscribing to supremacism.
Ted Tyler says
Of course the Islamic State has everything to do with Islam and the fact that too many people are not aware of this is unfortunate; however, the most important issue is: what are the thinking processes that led to a university professor embracing Islam. What values does hold? How can he justify killing people to satisfy his God? In summary, what in Hell is going on here??? Clearly, we need to have this guy psychoanalyzed.
mortimer says

Disagree. He is sane, but he has ‘overvalued ideation’. High-ranking Nazis were insane either.
Nazis believed in the Master Race theory. Muslims believe in the Master Religion Theory.
Supremacism confers the right to abuse subhumans.
mortimer says
Correction: High-ranking Nazis were NOT insane either.
Ted Tyler says
Mort, Yes the prof is very probably sane. Here, we need psychoanalysis for the purpose of finding out how he arrived at his conclusions. What assumptions did he hold that brought him to those conclusions. If you have a lot of false assumptions, then a logical development from that point onward can only lead to false conclusions.
mortimer says
Islam’s brainwashing technique is well-known: it’s a form of the Stockholm syndrome…capture bonding. The technique involves: repetition, isolation-apartheid, obscurantism, group-think, demonization, special clothing, special food, a hierarchy of status-enriching activities that lead up to the ultimate status of jihadist-killer and/or suicide-murderer.
Most jihadists could be deprogrammed by expert, professional deprogrammers using rationality, ethics, history and science to prove that Islam is a false doctrine.

Russian prof becomes “fascinated with Islam,” takes family to the Islamic State
………………………
The Islamic State–the Caliphate–is the epitome of Islam.
Notice all of his children have Muslim names.
I’m sure Andrey Karasik does not go by that name anymore.

There’s something here.

Not sure how accurate it is, but it suggests he was converted as a result of Dawa applied by a smoothly-smiling Muslim ‘student’ he met at a gym. His wife converted after him. The kids, being so very small, had no choice in the matter.

OFF TOPIC
Just heard on British TV that Pope Francis is going to the Greek Islands to see the plight of all the poor, desperate ” refugees” living there.
Perhaps, while he is there, he can ask why mega rich Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf States are not offering to take in their ” desperate” Muslim brothers and sisters living on these islands.
Seems that Muslims only acquire “human rights” when they break into the lands of the Kaffirs. Their own Muslim brothers and sisters treat them like sh*t but we are supposed to ” love and protect ” them.
mortimer says
Pope Francis needs to pick up a copy of the hadiths and Sira and read them slowly, letting the words sink in.
He cannot understand Islamic supremacism without reading Islam’s foundational source texts.
Zeke Zick says
Excellent post Mort, maybe the Dope, er Pope, might benefit from reading some of Robt.. Spencer’s work too.
Either way, the dude is one “crazy Ivan”, much like the few nut jobs that defected to the Viet Cong and lived under Uncle Ho’s good graces in the 1970’s.
Mirren10 says
Francis going to the Greek Islands ?
That’s a lot of feet to wash.

Russian professor…. What was he teaching? Sh…tology? M

Proving once again that no amount of education serves as a barrier against becoming a fool if common sense and moral intelligence are absent.

Don’t worry, gramps. If he survives I’m sure he can get a spot as a lecturer at a good American University.

“His disappearance came 10 years after he became intrigued by Islam.”
How ,when and where?
Are the authorities in Russia aware?
Son of the West says
This is why Islam must be shut down in Western nations until it either reforms itself or the last Sunni and the last Shi’ite choke each other to death in the sands somewhere. Moslems either become radicalized, like a sleeper agent being awakened with a code phrase, or non-Moslems are attracted to this death cult by some weird mind control mechanism that no one fully understands. Europeans in past days understood that they needed to keep this poison from their lands, and they need to wake up and understand that it is not “intolerance” or “Islamophobia” to fight for your own survival.

Nice Russian names.

wait till he gets shot or his daughter gets raped
who knows maybe he will give his daughter away
like the losers did with muhammed

Why would anyone take his family INTO a war zone when they were already safe where they were?
Eric says
Here is the most unfuriating thing about this story: Karasik is a Jewish last name. This means that at least on his father’s side the guy is Jewish. How can a Jew join ISIS is beyond me.
