“I’d been inside for four weeks and was at my lowest point when I was given the Koran in English. Someone explained it to me. And then it was very quick. I saw that God was the creator, the provider, the commander, and the legislator for mankind. It was all suddenly very clear. I felt freer than I had ever been, even though I was in prison.”
Not that this has anything to do with Islam.
Abu Osama Irelandi is yet another convert to Islam who somehow got the idea that his new religion requires him to commit treason and mass murder. Authorities remain resolutely uninterested in this phenomenon, however.
“Irish jihadist ‘Khalid Kelly’ blows himself up in Isil suicide bombing near Mosul,” by Raf Sanchez, Telegraph, November 5, 2016:
A high-profile Irish Islamist who was once arrested for threatening to kill President Barack Obama during a trip to Dublin has blown himself up in a suicide attack for Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) outside Mosul, according to the jihadist group.
Terence Kelly, a Dubliner known as “Taliban Terry” or “Khalid Kelly”, was killed after he drove an armoured truck laden with explosives at an Iraqi militia group on Friday, Isil said in a statement.
The jihadist group released a picture of the bearded Kelly, who was in his late 40s, standing in front of a vehicle and clutching a Kalashnikov rifle. It referred to him by the nom de guerre Abu Osama Irelandi.
“Brother martyr Abu Osama Irelandi, may Allah accept his soul, attacked a group of animals from the Hashd [Shia militia] in the village of Ghzayel Al-Kabir,” the statement said.
Another picture purported to show the moment Kelly’s vehicle exploded in the village west of Mosul, Isil’s last stronghold inside Iraq.
Kelly’s death brings a violent end to the Irish nurse’s long and troubled journey through radical Islam.
He was born in Dublin and raised Catholic but took a job in a Saudi Arabian hospital in the 1990s, where he was arrested for illegally making alcohol in his flat. While serving out his sentence in a Saudi prison, he converted to Islam.
“I’d been inside for four weeks and was at my lowest point when I was given the Koran in English,” he told the Independent in 2004.
“Someone explained it to me. And then it was very quick. I saw that God was the creator, the provider, the commander, and the legislator for mankind. It was all suddenly very clear. I felt freer than I had ever been, even though I was in prison.”
He was eventually released and came to Britain, where he became a high-profile Islamist who called for attacks on the UK and became close with Anjem Choudary, the agitator who was jailed earlier this year for supporting Isil.
He was also a member of Al-Muhajiroun, a British-based Salafist group that was banned in 2005 shortly after the July bombings.
Kelly appeared regularly on British and Irish television and in 2011 was arrested for appearing to threaten the US president ahead of a visit to Dublin. He was released without charge.
He later began to speak out in support of Isil and defended the jihadist group’s policy of beheading aid workers and journalists….

Of course, his desire to kill Obama had nothing to do with Islam

See ms to me nohammed wrote the book. an earthly being, from what I can tell was quite mad Then the new books were written by other madmen. That is not religion it is insanity.

Muhammed did not write the book; he was illiterate. Some years after his death the “rememberers” put the narrations of his stories down in hand-printed parchment, or maybe animal skins.

Now if only all Muslims would do us all a favor and blow themselves up, I would offer them praise for their good deed
Jack Diamond says
Except he was trying to blow himself up to kill us, infidels. Muslims only blow themselves up (barring accidental detonation) if it takes infidels with them, because the path to Paradise is through the blood of infidels. (I wonder if this disgrace to the Irish was the Islamokazee that came after Lars Logan and the embedded 60 minutes crew outside Mosul?).

That is certainly possible, Jack.

Mahendra Singh says
Wonder if you get the 72 hooris even if no dhimmi died in the blow-up.
Jack Diamond says
He would still be a “martyr” yes, just on a different level in Paradise than one who was more successful. So maybe just two hooris and no room with a view. But I’m sure he’s finding Hell isn’t such a blast.
Voytek Gagalka says
Yet another proof that unchecked irrationality (of any sort) can easily trigger very disastrous outcome. I am certain that he never was a “good” Catholic, suffered deep internal conflict and remorse because of that, and then easily “fell into shadows.” Good that at least he did blow himself up THERE and not harmed any of his previous fellow Catholics in Ireland.
Dom107 says
The concept of martyrdom is very much in the Catholic and Irish mind set so this doesn’t surprise me that much. Rationality is so very difficult for religious peoples. You have to use your brain and not use the deadly opium of the people or seek refuge in alcohol. You are either mentally ill or mentally lazy if you resort to this anti-life behaviour

………………….
Two problems with this, Dom–the first is that Irish and Catholics–and Irish Catholics–are nor seeking martyrdom in huge numbers. This is not a common thing there.
The other–perhaps even more salient–is that the Christian and Muslim concept of martyrdom are *quite* different. The Christian concept is dying for one’s faith; the Muslim concept is *murdering* for it.
Notice that this “martyr” did not die in Ireland, nor in the name of Catholicism–instead, he converted to Islam and died trying to murder people in the Islamic State.

Absolutely on the mark–the Nation of Islam has been recruiting in the USA’s worst prisons for many decades. Besides, as stated elsewhere (& proven by its fruits) Islam is a creed tailor-made for the delusional & for social outcasts.

If you get a chance gravenimage read the book “Going Clear” by Lawrence Wright (he also wrote “The Looming Tower”). You will notice the parallels between that cult and Islam, though Islam is a thousand times mores virulent.

No cult is any darned good–starting with the Old Man of the Mountain’s stranglers & up to the present day’s perpetrators of the unimaginably horrific. That’s why they’re called cults.

Good riddance to that vile idiot, heard him on Irish radio a few times a number of years ago splurging his toxic bile.

He hints at the end that he is apt to murder Infidels himself. I’m just glad he took his Jihad back to Dar-al-Islam, and that he killed no one but himself.
Jay Boo says
Good evening Muslim world.
Once again, it is time to go to sleep.
Some Way Out.
There must be some way out, you pray. Go and get on your knees and pray. Your praise is tainted with pent-up rage and your religion is founded on his disgrace. But you still scream and howl as if this will aid your escape.
There must be some way out of this cage.
You pray.
Joseph Edward (Barook) says
I guess he was hoping to be in paradise and enjoying wine, and grapes and indulging in his carnal sexual romps with 72 virgins only to find himself standing before the gates of hell and satan (you know who I mean and it’s not Lucifer) with a big smile ushering him in.
Jay Boo says
Muslim men at the penis worship mosque are far worse than a pack of mad humping dogs on a bitch in heat.
Why else do Muslim men need to wear an Islamic Muhammad inspired collection man-dress but to hide their mosque sermon 72 virgin erections?

What I’ve experienced, from reading the Qur’an, is a feeling of sickness and unbelief and realization of the reality of the horror that humanity can inflict on who is not in their gang.
It’s influence can go either way, it seems, either very against as I was along with others, or very for as in the case of the Irish geyser.
I suppose it depends on the person and the situation too.
If the Qur’an is the only book that a person has read, I guess it draws in the attention and therefore the mind and therefore other connected stuff of the human psyche.
I was in a police cell once for possession. I asked for something to read. They gave me Mein Kampf. The philosophy at the front was readable, then it get weird, so i read no more.
If that was my first book i might have read it all and become fascist.
Maybe the Irish geyser has not read much.
If one is religious or is Humane one may get ill reading the Qur’an, unless one surrenders to it.
Expose the Qur’an for the war manual that it is.

Nor the likes of Sheikh Qaradawi, giving unholy sanction to suicide-homicide bombers from the safety of his comfy home. Qaradawi claims his greatest wish is to die in combat against the Jews, but somehow it never happens. Muhammad stayed safely in the rear during the battles he ordered too, come to think of it.

Taliban Terry ??? Jesus, something out of ‘Father Ted’, probably not intentional suicide, He was likely told it was only a RE-HEARSE-AL.
Laura says
‘Converted’ to muslimism while in a Saudi jail, well there’s a surprise. I suppose he was subjected to constant demands to ‘revert’ to the religion he was born into but just didn’t understand. I wonder how many of us could endure incarceration in an Islamic hell-hole jail without at least pretending to convert, just in order to survive?
But, he didn’t have to keep up the charade once he was released, so maybe, like so many other muslim fanatics, he had psychiatric problems?
What a loss, I’m not missing him already.
Rob Porter says
Laura, it’s so pitiful that it’s actually comical. He joined a death cult, saw the ‘light’ regarding God and thought he’d arrange a quick meeting – only to find that he’d ended up in hell – in little pieces.
Keith says
Isn’t that funny he came to exactly the same conclusion as I came to about Islam after reading the koran and the Sahih Bukhari Hadith.
The only difference is I was disgusted by what I read whilst he followed the commands that he read.

Wise words.
Lorensacho says
I’m sure that as a loyal man of Ireland planning to commit suicide, he converted to Islam so better one of them should die than one of us.
Aussie Infidel says
I doubt that many in the Western world will mourn Terence Kelly – or Abu Osama Irelandi – or any of his ilk who have gone to Syria to fight ‘in the cause of Allah’. But it illustrates how even former Christians can become indoctrinated into this cult of doom, when he was ‘given the Koran in prison’, and at his ‘lowest point’. Maybe he saw the error of his ways making ‘Camel’ brand moonshine, or he just kissed the Islamic Blarney Stone too many times. But seriously, to abandon basic civilized principles like the ‘golden rule’ and embrace Islam’s jihadist tenet of ‘kill the unbelievers wherever you find them’, would require the mindset of a psychopath. And of course, Islam is an ideology of the militants, by the militants, and for the militants.
On another issue, many respondents have wondered how Western civilization has become corrupted by leftist ideology? The reason is because it was all part of the post WW II Marxist agenda for world domination. Politically, I came from the Left, where during the 1960s and 70s, ideas like political correctness, cultural relativism, multiculturalism, political inclusiveness, progressivism, gradualism and feminism, were discussed by those on the far left (communists), who had infiltrated the Labor movement. These subjects were then introduced into university courses such as history, sociology, political science, education, journalism and gender studies.
It would be a fairly safe bet, that anyone in the Western world who has been through university since those days, has been indoctrinated to some extent with these insidious ideologies – often without even knowing it. That’s why today many teachers, journalists, lawyers and bureaucrats are avid ‘progressives’, feminists, and politically correct multiculturalists – and blindly tolerant of resurgent Islam.
Michael says
Well put. You could throw in Literature and Theatre studies as well. If not for Jesus Christ, I could very well be some raving ideologue, perfectly prepared for the “freeing release” of being given over entirely to evil. The mind emptied and swept clean by the spiritual vacuity of Marxism is quite relieved to have the seven demons of islam take up residence.
bouboulina says
That is the evil of Marxism–its principal proponents use their malice & intelligence to such exponentially harmful effect. Your last sentence is tragically, poetically true.
bouboulina says
Aussie Infidel your analysis deserves publication far & wide. My own kids continue to turn on me when I try to wake them to the fact of their own indoctrination, but that too–turning/using child against parent–has been a very effective weapon of the left, even to the point of betrayal to authorities. Such has the world become–& so quickly & easily.
Lesley says

Islam was diabolically designed to appeal to the worst instincts of men (only men). It’s endorsement of rape, slavery and murder perfectly matches the needs of amoral criminals and those who seek absolute power over others. Psychopaths in other words, explaining it’s popularity in prisons.
Then it elevates it’s ambitions to encompass the conversion by force of the rest of the world into that dark prison, sealing the exits with the promise of death.
What a curse on humanity and how strange that we are fighting (sort of) this set of 7th Century barbarian superstitions in 2016. Worse yet it is the fastest growing “religion” in the world and Civilization is asleep at the wheel.

I knew this guy some 20 yrs ago in London, he was a very soft edged Irish guy and good to be around. I doubt if he had even heard of Islam before he went to Saudi. The change in him when he returned, was tectonic, although I never met him again. Other people, his family, had terrible trouble with him due to his radical beliefs. I’ve no doubt at all that he deserves to be dead, but the before and after is shocking to behold. Damn that religion to hell.
