Another head-scratcher for those who insist that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam or Sharia, and that those who joined it knew little and cared less about Islam.
“‘I Came for the Jihad’: Women Tell of Life in the Islamic State,” by Sara Manisera, Newsdeeply.com, September 29, 2017:
Khadija al-Humri came to Raqqa by choice.
“I came for the Jihad, for Sharia and the Islamic State,” the 29-year-old Tunisian woman said, roughly four years after leaving her hometown along with her first husband.
“I really believed that there was a state where we could live like the Prophet.”

But Raqqa was not all it was made out to be. Khadija’s first husband was killed in battles with the Free Syrian Army, and the widow was transferred to a dormitory were unmarried women wait to be selected by ISIS fighters.
“It was horrible … I had to get married if I wanted to leave that place,” she said.
Her disenchantment would be expounded by the time she remarried. She described rampant drug abuse and a thriving sex trade in a city where people were killed for no reason. She recalled clashes between ISIS fighters and described a group of French ISIS brides who used to abuse Captagon, an amphetamine-based drug nicknamed the “Jihadi Pill.”
“My second husband who was an ISIS fighter opened my eyes,” she said. “He told me that the [Islamic State] did not exist. We had made a big mistake.”
Voytek Gagalka says
Just five minutes of listening to their mosque prayers (if they would understand Arabic that is) would be sufficient to determine that what she is saying, what Islamic State is saying, has absolutely EVERYTHING to do with Islam. Not to acknowledge that is a special kind of blindness (dumbness in mind) in face of all evidence, plus laziness in learning, plus general cowardice, so it is.
JawsV says
The Islamic State is Islam.
Wellington says
Agreed, JawsV. Now, if only we could get the vast majority in the West, including the elites, to know what you already know.
roger woodhouse says
The ‘elites’already know what we know but live in a state of denial.Their ideology which over rides any sense of reality comes before the ‘niceities’of civilised behaviour.Their own obsession is the removal of Western traditions,history and culture.and particularly Christianity.The very fact that Islam wants exactly the same thing but for very different reasons escapes them.
Sawman says
Or, perhaps it doe NOT escape them.
Bob says
Please – will somebody come to the UK to convince our dozy politicos of this?!
Wellington says
“I came for the Jihad, for Sharia and the Islamic State.”
Well, there is one hell of an unholy trinity if ever there were one.
gravenimage says
So true, Wellington.
Westman says
And she brought the child for what, the ice cream?
VRWC member77 says
So where is this vile scum-of-pig human being? Is she waiting somewhere to be tried- and if found guilty of providing material support for the Islamic State- and executed? Otherwise anything coming out of the mouth of this putrid mound of hardened bile is irrelevant.
Jayell says
Well, she said that she wanted to “live like the prophet”, so if she really wanted to emulate a depraved criminal psychopath we don’t need to know any more about this heap of pseudo-human excreta and she can learn what civilisation thinks about her and the rest of her sort the hard way.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
A big mistake? You said you wanted to live like the prophet and that’s exactly what you got.
Westman says
Exactly, Flavius.
The clerics paint a picture of a “golden age” that never arrived. Muhammad’s life was filled with warfare against the unbelievers. Then the internal warfare started the minute the “prophet” died, the successive Caliphs were murdered, and the Shia sect was created.
Yes, she got the female experience of the prophet’s real life – all “carrot and stick” (promise of the Golden age or Hell) for the followers with no holy banquet, ever.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
In the hadiths, Aisha complains that the “believer” women are always black and blue while the “non-believer” are not.
Sarah says
The only thing I have to say about this creature and all the other sniveling creatures like her who have survived their merry jaunt with ISIS so far – is that I feel regret that she hasn’t already been blown to smithereens already.
She’s a waste of space to the human race. Leave her there to be sold on and on, passed from one ‘fighter’ to the next for all i care. Its called consequences for actions you unutterably stupid wench. Enjoy them.

So much for the idea that women decamping to the Islamic State had no idea what they were signing up for…
MFritz says
NEVER EVER forget that islam is mostly carried by the women! All the dirty work and the bringing up of the children rests on their shoulders. They also educate each and every generation longer and more thoroughly than the imams and quran schools could ever do. They push home all of the agendas of islam as mothers and grand mothers. Some are its victim, but most fully embrace and agree with its ideology.
Back in the 1980s and 1990s I pitied the (few) women wearing a hijab in my Western home country. But since then the times have clearly changed and I see the hijab more and more often. Now it has become a clear sign for an accomplice to all the deeds committed in the name of Allah and women show their submission to sharia at every opportunity.
Are they forced to do so? I don’t think so. No, they not only carry the system, they clearly want to be a part of it! And we ignore this because they are women and we think of them as being “oppressed”. WAKE UP!
Truth Seeker says
MFritz,
You make a very insightful comment. At the same time, I think we need to make some allowance for the fact that Islam is a deceptive, mind-controlling cult. When one is programmed, s/he cannot see properly. Everything is interpreted through the lens of the programming. Some shock needs to occur to break the spell of the programming.
John saw a great repentant multitude from all nations, which couldn’t be numbered. (Rev 7:9) Since most nations are or are becoming Islamic, many of these people will be former Muslims. When Jonah saw what Assyria did to israel, he refused to preach to them. Why?
Jonah 4:2 And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
I think many of us will have Jonah moments where we will be angry with God because of His mercy. We need to be careful not to be infected by Satan’s hate. Especially in a world run by Marxists who are colluding with Islam and literally letting them get away with murder. Yes. They should be punished according to our laws but we should rejoice whenever Islam’s intense spell is broken.
MFritz says
The problem is, as long as we don’t have the means to mass-reprogram the followers and fanatics, the system will continue running at full speed. And there “moderation” efforts DO NOT WORK. Not as long as we ally with the feudal barbarians of Saudi Arabia etc.
The financiers of mass-radicalisation will have to go first. And the more violent they leave the stage, the better – for islam and the rest of mankind. They have caused enough grief.
TruthSeeker says
MFritz,
I agree that the system will continue running at full speed. This is the result of the western democracies rejecting Christ. This is what they are getting instead. In my opinion, Islam can only be stopped by God. The Muslims are a tool of the devil and will be instrumental in bringing about the horrible conditions outlined in the Book of Revelation culminating in the return of Jesus Christ. In the mean time, we can’t allow Satan to lead us into hatred and bitterness.
“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
(1 Corinthians 13.4–7 ESV)

This is another reason why Trump needs to fire McMasters who days Islam has nothing to do with terrorism.

I guess this Kind of stories will come up frequently now. On the German site pi-news.net there is a video from a woman with German passport who left her first husband and three children to follow her second husband to Rakka. She still insists that the time in Rakka was the best time of her life. But today she is in a Syrian internation camp for IS Followers. And now she cries after Mama Merkel and the German social benefits. She claims that her situation is awful, that she wants medical care and therapy – paid by the German kuffar whom she despises. As she carries a German passport I am sure that she will come to Germoney as soon as possible. The German government is quite fast These days with showing their true face – as if not everybody who wanted to see it could have seen it. It only took three days after the election to announce that the “palestine” girl Reem, who came with her parents to Germany on a medical visa and cried asylum as soon as they arrived will get an unlimited visa with the perspective of citizenship. This Young Lady is antisemitic, she dreams of a world without Israel. If she were Bio-German she would risk jail for These views – as a muslim she gains citizenship. And the Israelic government is worried about the AfD, what a joke.

If the text were accurate journalism it would read,
‘Khadija, a former ISIS serial bride, hugs one of her FATHERLESS children by different jihadi husbands.’
mortimer says
Will those fatherless children be raised as jihadists?
Oliver says
From the post/article, I got the impression one is supposed to be sorry for this bitch.
My view, a shame she and more of her ilk were not killed in the Russian bombings of Raqqa
rbla says
There was a rather interesting dramatization of life in the “paradise” of the Islamic State on National Geographic Channel. This was from the point of view of a group of naïve Muslims, women and men, who went there to attain pure Islam. I’m surprised the series made it through the censors of the media and the deep state.

Walter Sieruk says
A number of young naive and impressionable girls of and in the West have been duped, beguiled and deceived by the enticement of the ISIS propaganda machine on internet. For it gives the false offer to those young gullible girls who are willing and able to leave the West and travel to the lands controlled by ISIS “a grand place to live that gives meaning to life.” Those girls who are taken by the lying words of ISIS and travel to ISIS controlled lands Do soon have a very harsh reality check when they discover, to their horror, that all the promises made by ISIS were bogus. In other words all the promise of ISIS are nothing but total falsehood and lies. The deceitful and lying wolfs of ISIS do awful and terrible harms to those girls they deceive, beguile and betray.
Therefore, the old poem of wisdom should be repeated.
“Little girls, this seems to say, Never stop upon you way. Never trust a stranger –friend; No one knows how it will end. As your pretty, so be wise; Wolves may lurk in every guise. Handsome they may be, and kind, gay, or charming never mind ! Now , as then , ‘tis simple truth- the sweetest tongue has sharpest tooth !”
utis says
Whatever set of fairy tales and delusions drove this woman to ISIS, her native country should keep a sharp eye on here and her offspring. She and women like her will keep on pushing that BS that stay in her head. The kids need to be tracked in case they were “jihad cubs.” I wouldn’t want my grand-children going to school with them.
This ISIS crap is already a horrible tragedy, with worse prospects ahead. If the West will not fight at least an ideological war with islam, this disease will just break out somewhere else. Islam has destroyed more muslim lives than the crusaders or Genghis Khan together. Muslims can’t or won’t fight, so the West must put up a decent struggle before it, too, is muslim.
