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

Ex-wife of Islamic State chief: “I only had babies to raise them as killers”

Nov 7, 2017 8:36 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Mum-of-five Tania Choudhury has detailed her disturbing radicalisation alongside top militant commander John Georgelas after the September 11 attack on New York’s Twin Towers

Tania Choudhury exposes her experience with racism and her own inner struggles as a youth, followed by her subsequent indoctrinated hatred of the West, her attraction to jihad terror and dreams of a caliphate. This deeply disturbing account of a brainwashed Westerner, the wife of convert to Islam and jihadist John Georgelas, is similar to scores of others, yet most leaders refuse to acknowledge the Islamic theology of death, hatred and a false greatness that motivates jihad activity. Thus those leaders enable this jihad against Western interests, and likewise enable the abuse of women and children.

Choudhury states that she “faced a lot of racism” growing up and “had bad neighbours, they would smash our windows, but generally I just felt like an outsider.” It is fundamental to recognize and combat racism, but in doing so, the West must also confront the truth about jihad and the propagation of the jihad ideology. Jihadists (violent and stealth) use any and all kinds of victimology to recruit more jihadists and further the advance of Islamic supremacy.

“’I only had babies to raise them as killers’, says British ex-wife of ISIS chief as she reveals descent into ‘hardcore’ jihad”, by Christopher Bucktin, Mirror (thanks to The Religion of Peace), November 5, 2017:

The British former wife of America’s most senior ISIS terrorist has told how the only reason she had children was to raise them to become killers.

Tania Choudhury detailed her radicalisation into “jihadi hardcore” after the September 11 attack on New York’s Twin Towers in 2001.

The mum-of-five revealed how her dream for her children with her now ex-husband, John Georgelas, was for them to become terrorists.

Speaking from the security of her new life in Plano, Texas, the 33-year-old said: “I’ve had these children for one reason only, and that was so they could serve God as Muslims, as mujahideen.”

Opening up about her former husband, who has risen to become one of ISIS’s main commanders in Syria, Choudhury spoke of their life together before their divorce.

“Our dreams were to have land of our own, raise a family and train them to be assassins or whatever, soldiers, and then eventually go join the jihad,” she said of Georgelas, an American-born convert to Islam.

One of five children born in London to British-Bangladeshi couple Nural and Jahanara Choudhury, she told how she became radicalised and sought revenge on the west after 9/11.

“I faced a lot of racism,” she says of her childhood in Harrow.

“We had bad neighbours, they would smash our windows, but generally I just felt like an outsider.

“I was looking for a way to retaliate.”

Choudhury said the turning point in her radicalisation came when she was a teenager after seeing thousands die in the Twin Towers.

“I was 17, I saw the towers being crashed into and I went to school the next day,” she said.

“I said to my friend, ‘Oh isn’t it dreadful what happened,’ and she looked at me and said ‘Is it really?’

“At that point, I became really jihadi hardcore.”

Several years while attending a protest march against the Iraq war she was handed details of a Muslim matchmaking website.

After joining she was contacted by Georgelas, the youngest child and only son of former US military doctor Colonel Timothy Georgelas and his wife Martha.
Growing up in Plano, Texas, Georgelas, now 44, reportedly rebelled as a teenager, becoming a prolific drug user, dropping out of school and converting to Islam shortly after 9/11.

The couple fell in love over internet discussions of jihad and dreams of a caliphate.

During her interview with The Atlantic, the couple were said to have “fantasized about becoming a family of itinerant holy warriors, a sort of Islamic version of the Von Trapps, substituting slaughter of infidels for Alpine show tunes”.

After falling pregnant in early October 2004, the couple wed at the Gothic town hall in Rochdale, Lancashire.

By the time they had had three children and another on the way, in 2013, they began discussing joining ISIS in Syria.

“John wanted to go to Syria, and I said I wasn’t ready, not while the kids are small,” she recalled…..

    No racial or ethnic group on the planet faces as much race based discrimination as Black people. So if that is a basis for jihad, then we should find that most jihadis or people seeking to commit mass murder against non-Blacks should be Black. Racism is a canard.

      As the brainwashing is so effective, (5x a day, 7 days a week) I dont believe any Muslim ever becomes an EX muslim, plus her ex husband would have her killed for doing so.

        Sure, there are genuine apostates–Ayaan Hirsi Ali is one, as is our own Bosch Fawstin–brave anti-Jihadists both.

        But there is no reason to think that this Muslimah, married to a Islamic State chief, has actually left Islam.

    Yeah, I don’t know but that statement about “she told how she became radicalized and sought revenge on the west after 9/11” doesn’t make sense to me. Revenge? For what? Giving your countries all that money for oil to buy weapons and then to export and promote your death cult to Western Civilization? That’s dysfunctional, stupid and backward thinking and I see very little evidence of any contrition, remorse or regret for her part. It sounds more like after popping out five jihadis she just had enough of it. Now she wants a vacation from it all. And where better to have it then in the culture you hate and wanted to destroy for so long. That’s nothing like the Von Trapps story.

    Well, probably she is not the only one raising her children as terrorists.

    Judge spares mother-of-five from jail after she encouraged UK terror attacks on pro-ISIS Facebook group as he tells her: ‘The sooner you get back to your children the better’

      Well do you blame her? She is probably one of the wanking whiners who disliked life in a war-torn Islamic sh!thole… How does that compare with a sweet life in the UK?
      Imagine in the scorching heat dressed up in a black body bag, having to be escorted anywhere outside the confines of the prison you call home, where all you do is eat drink and pop out little jihadis one after another, for your abusive husband.

      All moronically gullible western women who develop a disease for converting to Islam and marrying an actual jihadi terrorist should preemptively be given a crash course in what an actual life married to Muslim would look and feel like…. It would save a whole lot of heartaches and tax dollars…

        I wonder if she will collect $25,000 for each jihadi kid of hers trhat dies during a jihadist action.

    Deriving bio information from the Atlantic magazine piece on John Georgelas by Graeme Wood:

    Tania was born a Muslim, in London to lax-Muslim Bengali parents. She wasn’t lax. While other teens pined for movie stars or pop singers, she pined for… John Walker Lindh. She met “Yahya” online and they married 3 days after they met in person. She had found her soulmate from Hell. After all, her teen fantasizes involved packing bombs under her jilbab (full body covering) to kill infidels.

    John Georgelas (Yahya Abu Hassan) was not born a Muslim, he was inspired to convert to Islam after 9/11, which tells you much about him. This was a military brat from a wealthy family, poverty-racism-ignorance are not his excuses. In fact, he became fluent in classical Arabic and remarkable for his memorization of Qur’an and hadith (after being a spectacular under-achiever while an infidel). Tania wanted to have 7 kids, one for each of the continents they (the assassins) were to conquer.

    Living in Texas, Yahya got sentenced to 34 months in prison for using his position as a data technician to hack an American Israeli Public Affairs website. When his parole expired they left America, spent two years in Cairo, had more babies, while he became the leader of a circle of jihad-minded followers and preoccupied with the idea of declaring a caliphate. When the Muslim Brotherhood tyranny fell in Egypt, they decided to move to Turkey. Then into the war zone of Syria, though he brought the family into Syria without telling them where they were going.

    Tania did not like it much. There was sickness and infection. Tania, as a woman, was not allowed near the “action.” Yayha had found his calling and wasn’t going anywhere, but he let the family move back to Turkey. Eventually, Tania took herself and the kids back to his parent’s home in Texas, where she gave birth to another boy and filed for divorce. She calls herself an agnostic now, but hardly hates her ex. She posted this on social media: “Ioannis (John) is fixated on changing the hearts and minds of people and the course of history. I’m somewhat jealous of the love and devotion he has for Islam over me.”

    Does this sound like someone ashamed, contrite, wanting forgiveness for her and his crimes against humanity? She’s proud of him. She’d be proud if her sons were just like him.

    Tania lives by herself now and sees the kids on weekends, they live with the grandparents.

    Meanwhile computer-nerd and Islamic auto-didact Yahya became a combat soldier for ISIS and was badly wounded; married a Syrian wife and had new kids; and was a central figure in pressing ISIS leaders in declaring a caliphate. He made it to Raqqa in 2015 where he broadcast English language propaganda and wrote for Dabiq magazine. He was close to ISIS commander and spokesman (and planner of the Paris massacres) al-Adnani, killed by a drone strike. If Yayha is not dead yet it’s just a matter of time.

    {As devout and pious a convert and student of Islam as Yayha was, Wood tries to distance his “version” of Islamic law, like that of the Islamic State, as something marginal, eccentric, extreme and rejected by all the sane Muslim scholars. He ignores the heart of the matter, Muhammad and the clear teachings of the Qur’an, in order to make this a matter of personal pathology and give Muslims a safe distance, the chief (and discrediting) outrage of ISIS apparently pronouncing takfir on other Muslims}.

    I suppose Tania will be getting a book and a movie deal out of her and Yahya’s Not-so Excellent Adventure.

      Graeme Wood’s book is excellent. He shows what a bunch of putzes all these jihadis are. The Tanya and John story is particularly funny and pathetic. I highly recommend reading Wood – he’s a real journalist and can’t be accused of bias, just demonstrating how caliphate dreams take shape in various tweaked heads as fantasy projections of the societies they actually live in – with hardcore Islam substituting for the respective advanced western societies’ structure of law.

      he Arabs were envious of Persia’s wealth and civilization. Their declaration of war: you always have looked down on us, called us primitives, so now we’ll teach you… They conquered Persia in a bloody campaign committing heinous act of terror cowing the population to accept Islam. One reason of the Sunni Shia divide–the Persians had to accept Islam but on their own terms. Since then the Arabs mined Persian culture and 3 out of 5 Muslim scholars of Islam’s golden age were Persian but now they were Muslim scholars. So were the Syrians whose legacy was Greek-Roman (Byzantium) and still Syrians like Egyptians have to suffer being called Arabs and if you look for discrimination join the Christians there, Or the adherents of the old Persian religion, the Yazidis… So Muslims come to the west with a grudge, to conquer. They say, you look down on us, and that is borne out of their own inferiority complex which constantly seeks redress. That is why there are claims that Stephen Hawking, among others, has converted. If that is true, his science becomes “Islamic science”. They were beaten in Poitier, on Malta, under the walls of Vienna… But do you think they lost their envy and have forgotten their grudge? It is just that nowadays one doesn’t need swords and horses to conquer the west, just come as refugees and use the weapon of victomhood.

    Just a few points.

    1. “One of five children born in London to British-Bangladeshi couple Nural and Jahanara Choudhury, she told how she became radicalised and sought revenge on the west after 9/11.”

    Sorry, but who exactly committed mass destruction and murder on whom on 9/11? So who should logically be seeking revenge? The likes of Ms. Chaudhury? Why?

    2. “I faced a lot of racism,” she says of her childhood in Harrow.“We had bad neighbours, they would smash our windows, but generally I just felt like an outsider.I was looking for a way to retaliate.”…

    Harrow has been a somewhat heavily-enriched part of London for some time so it would not be surprising that a proportion of the indigenous locals might feel a bit antagonised. However, acts of domestic vandalism have never been typical of the comparatively restrained English, but rather more a hallmark of the demographic to which the Chaudhurys belong. And why did Ms. Chaudhury feel like an outsider? Perhaps because, as an alien Bangladeshi who probably saw fit to make a minimal effort to conform with British culture, she WAS an outsider? Did she consciously/subconsciously expect the locals to compromise with her native expectations, as a lot of these characters seem to do? And perhaps if they didn’t seem to kowtow appropriately, she would harbour designs to retaliate against them for their impudence?

    This female comes across as a thoroughly nasty piece of work. It’s a shame that she’s far from unique in her section of humanity.

    Notice how she became radicalized *after* a terror attack? (9/11). And her future husband converted after that event, showing his head is screwed on badly also. Most normal people would be repulsed by the ideology that inspired a massacre, especially right after the event. But not these two. They were apparently attracted to the blood, violence and revenge of the Islamists.

    Are we supposed to believe she is now, somehow, un-radicalized?

      Nov 7, 2017 at 8:15 pm

      It’s not only him who converted to Islam after9/11; many people also converted in that period, following the attacks of 9/11 and there are many many more who converted and are still converting through out the west, thanks to the abundant stupidity of western leaders, governments, academic institutions and false Christians.

      • Karen says

        Nov 7, 2017 at 8:33 pm

        I can only assume that after witnessing the 9/11 victims jumping from 100 stories up, or being crushed out of existence or vaporized by the inferno, that the subsequent converts to Islam enjoy that kind of thing, or admire the people who caused it. In any event, it shows some very twisted sympathies.

          UBL stated hat people would gravitate to the what they perceived to be the “strong horse,” in this case Islam. Apparently for some people that is true. I seems to me that an American who converts to the ideology of the people who just killed 3000 of his fellow citizens is someone to be wary of from the get go even before he or she takes any other actions.

    In the interview she says that she and her husband wanted their boys to grow up to be assassins. Then toward the end it shows her at the shooting range with her new husband. Her shots were clustered right around dead center. That’s not “beginner’s luck”. That’s the mark of someone who has trained for long hours and has skill. Beware of this one.

    I do not believe her. The UK treats immigrants fairly, having unfriendly neighbors should not have made her convert. No one in their right mind would be attracted to the sick vile ideology of islamic terror. Now her grave mistake is multiplied by 5, as she had five children

    Ex-wife of Islamic State chief: “I only had babies to raise them as killers”
    ……………………..

    Recently, a respected poster here–forgive me, I don’t recall who it was at this point–opined that Muslims love their children as much as do civilized people.

    I said that I disagreed, and that Islam mitigates against the natural love most parents feel for their children.

    I’d offer this Muslimah as exhibit A.
