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

Australia: Bachelor of the Year dies fighting for the Islamic State

Nov 18, 2018 10:31 pm By Robert Spencer

“Millson’s friend told the Herald Sun his conversion to radical Islam had been a gradual process.”

The Daily Mail Australia does not deign to describe that process in any detail, probably because it involved Mullson becoming more observant and devout in Islam, and would show too clear the connection between devoutness in Islam and “radicalization.”

“From winning Cleo’s Bachelor of the Year to dying for ISIS: How young Australian-Malaysian man with the world at his feet became a jihadi and fell victim to a landmine in Syria,” by Alison Bevege, Daily Mail Australia, November 17, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A baby-faced Cleo Magazine Bachelor of the Year left his young family to die fighting for Islamic State on the battlefield in Syria.

Amir Millson died when he trod on a landmine as he carried a fighter on his shoulder in 2016, according to messages from the battlefield reported by the Herald Sun.

Millson appeared to be an unlikely candidate to fight and die as an Islamist jihadi, trying to establish a theocratic Caliphate.

The half-Malaysian man from Perth studied mass communications at Curtin University before going to Malaysia, where he won Cleo magazine Malaysia’s Most Eligible Bachelor in 2010.

At the age of 27 he was part-time modelling and planned to become a television presenter.

Videos he posted at the time show a laid-back and well-groomed man.

During an interview with Cleo, Millson said he wanted to be prime minister and dubbed Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom a cool couple.

Soon after, Millson married a woman from his hometown and the couple had a son, but his views on the world began to change radically in 2014, according to the publication.

In early 2015, Millson, whose passport has been cancelled, posted an image of himself as an armed jihadi in Syria. He has not been heard from since.

‘We heard when he died,’ a friend of Millson told the Herald Sun.

‘He was carrying a fighter on his shoulder when he stepped on a landmine. That was it.’

In September, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation confirmed Millson was ‘killed fighting with ISIL’….

Millson’s friend told the Herald Sun his conversion to radical Islam had been a gradual process….

      No, John, your vindictive and even fascist remarks are not welcome here at Jihad Watch a human-rights-supporting outfit, because Muslims are humans with human rights to hold the wrong information about science, religion and ethics. You cannot just remove their human rights without endangering your own. Your viewpoint was condemned at Nuremburg.

      The only way to bring world peace is to ‘radically’ and ‘absolutely’ DEPROGRAM MUSLIMS by convincing them that Islam cannot be supported by intellectual arguments … 1) no historical argument 2) no ethical argument 3) no logical argument, because Islam is 1) lacking an historic providence 2) lacking consistent ethics 3) self-referentially incoherent.

      Muslims think that they are pleasing Allah, but they have the wrong information … misinformation about just about everything. Muslims can be deprogrammed.

        It seems it is cohesion that they seek, marginalizing evil, following the” example” with a secured belief of paradise, where does the cohesion start, I am of the opinion that the emotion starts in the buildings they build to get the cohesion in a room only filled with other believers no chairs or lectures on their evilness just emotional quest that is deadly and drug like mind numbing. To me these mosques give the training that is reinforced every several hours.The ultimate mind control and a book, belief and emotion…..and these buildings are funded and in the 3500 hundreds to teach warfare and sharia. In my opinion unless we address this it will be a bad wave.

        Mortimer, believing that it is better that this Jihadist is dead rather than slaughtering Infidels is not “fascist”.

        Yes–Jihadists are human beings–they are also human beings whose creed demands that they murder us.

        And John did not remove this Jihadist’s human rights–in what way did he do so?

        Saying that John should be tried at Nuremberg–i.e., is a murderous Nazi–for being glad that Amir Millson is no longer able to slaughter people in the name of the Islamic State is just calumny.

        You keep flogging this, but “deprogramming” Muslims has *never worked*.

        You keep claiming that Jihadists will be happy to listen to the Infidels rationally debunk their creed. But pious Muslims despise the “filthy Kuffar”, and reject reason–so they are not apt to listen to this.

        Even less likely to work is an appeal to ethics–pious Muslims specifically reject morality such as the Golden Rule, rightly deeming it un-Islamic.

        You have never explained why Jihadists who eagerly want to murder us would be upset if they learned that Islam calls for our murder, and would leave Islam in droves. How does this reasoning work?

        You also keep posting videos, implying that they have “deprogrammed” Muslims–yet never provide any proof that they have done so. Might that be because such proof does not exist?

          Never mind the deprogramming “bullshit” . Sorry to be so blunt. Islam beheads us.- The Infidels. Enough of this political correctness crap. We are loosing our Judeo-Christian Heritage.

    Australia: Bachelor of the Year dies fighting for the Islamic State
    …………………..

    It just doesn’t get any more ironic than this…

    I found a copy of the cover of that issue of Cleo Magazine (I think that’s him on the right):

    http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wrMEmICX6EI/S9_cRH6STuI/AAAAAAAACGw/V5T8Wm_6R8o/s1600/DSC01025.JPG

    It looks like your usual fun, pop culture youth magazine–a bit brainless, sure–but mostly good, clean fun.

    But this is what Islam does…

    Maybe they could have an Islamic Bachelor TV show? Think of the possibilities!

    We should pause for a moment, reflecting on an upwardly mobile person drawn into a death cult. With the world at his feet Milson still had the “acumen” to reject Westernism, why? Does Islam appeal to the sophisticated class? In fact, Western media have always portrayed radicalism to be the preference of the underclass. Yet, information shows this not to be true. There those in who believe that the Qur’an has been distorted and then there are others who believe in the literal word of the Qur’an. Milson I believe was an erudite man- he wanted to become TV personality, which suggested that he was an informed man. Milson like all those poster boys al Qaeda, Hamas, ISIS… were highly schooled in politics and religion. For this reason, their views and action are informed. As a riposte to those who theorize it as actions of the underclass this view is and highly inaccurate and therefore misleading. Islam rejects source criticism and historicism and thus they have prevaricated disclosure of their Qur’anic substantiated mission. Milson’s demise is a result of this twin evil.
