“IPAC said she started appearing on Indonesian Telegram groups in August 2015 and aggressively advertised her various accounts on Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp to ISIS sympathisers around the world.”
No problem. Facebook, Twitter and the rest only shadowban and choke off the platforms of people who are opposed to jihad terror, not those who are recruiting for it.
“Philippines arrests top female ISIS recruiter,” Straits Times, October 18, 2017:
MANILA – Philippine security forces have arrested a 36-year-old Filipino woman suspected of recruiting, via social media, fighters from around the world for the ultra-radical Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
Karen Aizha Hamidon was arrested in Taguig city, an hour east of the capital Manila, on Oct 11, Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre announced at a news conference on Wednesday (Oct 18).
Mr Aguirre said Hamidon was formerly the wife of Singaporean Muhammad Shamin Mohamed Sidek, a security guard detained in Singapore in August 2015 for planning to join ISIS and using social media to incite violence.
However, in a statement late on Wednesday, Singapore’s Ministry of Home Affairs said Hamidon and Shamin were not married. “MHA is in touch with the Philippines authorities on this latest arrest,” the ministry said.
Hamidon later married Mohammad Jaafar Maguid, a Filipino, who led ISIS-linked Ansar al-Khilafah Philippines till he was killed by police in January this year, according to Mr Aguirre.
Mr Aguirre said Hamidon was also a close associate of Musa Cerantonio, an Australian Islamist preacher who was purportedly recruiting fighters for ISIS.
Rebellion charges are being readied against Hamidon in relation to 296 social media posts linked to her seeking to recruit reinforcements for besieged Muslim militants in the war-torn southern city of Marawi….
“It is very clear that her actions are in conspiracy, or in sync, with actions of the rebels. While her companions are fighting in Marawi, her part is to further recruit fighters to assist in the Marawi siege by the ISIS and Maute groups,” said Mr Aguirre….
Mohammad Sirajuddin, 33, a marketing manager with the Indian Oil Corporation arrested in December 2015, said it was Hamidon who first contacted him on Facebook and WhatsApp and convinced him to join ISIS in Syria.
A profile provided by India’s National Investigation Agency said Hamidon’s father was a Muslim. He died when she was 20 years old. Her mother was a Christian, and brought her up as a Christian. But she and her two sisters converted to Islam about 10 years ago.
According to a recent report by the Jakarta-based Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict (IPAC), Hamidon had been dismissed by many in ISIS-inspired chat groups as a spy.
IPAC said she started appearing on Indonesian Telegram groups in August 2015 and aggressively advertised her various accounts on Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp to ISIS sympathisers around the world.
One of the Telegram groups she took part in was BUG, or Baqiyah United Group, created by an Indonesian woman, Aisyah Lina, whose husband was later arrested for terrorism. Lina then added Hamidon and Sirajuddin….

Speaking of the Philippines…
I cannot find any updates on Marilou Danley. I maintain this woman knows far more than she’s let on. Last I heard she’s on some “travel watch list.” Granted that is not as restrictive as the “no fly list” but authorities want to be informed if she were to attempt to travel via a commercial airliner. The TSA has been instructed to aggressively inspect Ms. Danley’s baggage if she attempts to hop a flight.
If she has been cleared why these measures?
Curious…at least to me.
mummymovie says
My thoughts went to the exact same place.
Is this matter closed-and-shut now? I guess we are all to believe the killer was just some maniacally deranged (yet meticulously organized) cracker who wanted to kill people for no particular reason whatsoever?
We can’t look into Ms. Danley any further, or into her ties in the Phillipines?
How about any of the multitudes of international trips they took together?
No?
Okay, well I guess that’s that.
But the Phillipines sure does seem to be rife with Islamic extremists, don’t you think?
Still smells fishy to me.
Ashley says
Right, mummymovie? I mean, the authorities were desperate to locate this chick and bring her back to the States for questioning. Why was she flown to California and not Nevada? I mean, she DID live with Paddock in Nevada, correct? Sure…her daughter lives in California but DANLEY resided in Nevada and she lived in the Mesquite and Reno homes at various times with Paddock. Her ass should have been in NEVADA for questioning.
Marilou’s accounts regarding Stephen’s state of mind changed. You and I both know she was damn well aware of his arsenal.
I understand that this is an ongoing investigation (or perhaps not) and critical details are not going to be released. Still…no mention of her in weeks. No updates. Just this vague “travel watch” advisory issued with no explanation.
Dead and rotten fish smell indeed!
mummymovie says
How could she possibly have been his wife for as long as has been reported, and not have intimate knowledge of Paddock’s arsenal?
And from what I understand, immediately following the shooting, and her subsequent retrieval and/or relocation back to the states, she was not being detained, or interrogated?!?!?
Weird stuff.
You certainly get the feeling they are stuffing any further inquiry into where his motive came from, though many of the boxes seem to have been checked in order to meet most of the hallmarks of a Islamic jihadist terror attack.
And what happened to the identity that was supposed to be forthcoming with regard to the Marseilles acid attacker with “a history of mental health issues”?
It seems like the establishment has really doubled down on -as we are all very familiar with by now- the “mental illness” thing first, and secondly postponing the release of information due to its being “sensitive” or “part of an investigation”, until finally the dust settles and everything blows over.
A very disturbing trend!
David G. says
Mummymovie. Danley was Paddocks girl friend.

Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
Judging from the above photograph, if Karen decides to give up her jihady ways, she has a lucrative career ahead of her as the spokeswoman for a beauty makeover program. Right now, her face is perfect for the BEFORE photo.
David G. says
I agree. I don’t make fun of anyone like her, but I do feel sorry.

Philippines: Muslima arrested for recruiting for the Islamic State on social media
…………………
Just being a good Muslim…
lucretia says
Wonder if she can fly up a wall?
LeftisruiningCanada says
Hamidon was formerly the wife of Singaporean Muhammad Shamin Mohamed Sidek…..jihadi
Hamidon later married Mohammad Jaafar Maguid…..jihadi
Mohammad Sirajuddin…..joined ISIS
Definitely a theme there…..
MFritz says
And there are more like her. But we don’t want to see the truth because it doesn’t fit in the narrative that women are always “victims” under islam. Well, many are victims AND accomplices.

The People DETERMINED to not listen are those that walk us to a very nasty CIVIL WAR !
I watched Louise Arbour – Canada quote that the PUSH BACK against MUSLIMS is like all immigrants to Canada over the decades !
This shows the level of DETERMINED STUPIDITY on the LEFT & the complete refusal to even EXAMINE the NASTY CULTURAL SAVAGERY of the followers of ISLAM should they be allowed a free reign among WESTERN UNACCOMPANIED WOMEN or YOUNG CHILDREN of Different Faiths !
To see that attitudes go to TELFORD -CHILD RAPE GROUPS !
The treatment of these children is utterly HORRENDOUS & the PEOPLE RAPING are FAMILY MEMBERS from teen to grandfathers in their late 60;s & the children are as young as 12 !
The ARCHITECTS of this invasion need to be BEATEN SENSELESS & thrown into a room with RAPISTS in PRISON ! This is where I would love to see TONY BLAIR end up along with George Soros & many more on the Left along with Muslim Justin Trudeau & Hillary with Obama !!
