“A British ice cream seller who went to join ISIS in Syria five years ago has pleaded to come home because he misses his mother and his life in Cardiff. Aseel Muthana left Wales for Syria in February 2014, aged 17, following his brother Nasser and another friend in joining the jihadist group.”
Muthana argues that he had good intentions when he joined the Islamic State: “We came when ISIS propaganda and ISIS media was all about helping the poor, helping the Syrian people,” he says. But of course the Islamic State was never about helping the poor and the Syrian people. Aseel Muthana is lying, full taqiyya style. The Islamic State was violent from its inception, rampaging across Iraq, seizing territory by means of bloody jihad to create an Islamic state. It moved speedily to “announce the creation of a caliphate, or Islamic state, spanning the territory they control in Iraq and Syria.” And published a “terrifying map” outlining a five year plan for far more conquests.
The wave of widely publicised ISIS beheadings began later in 2014, when journalist James Foley and British aid worker David Haines were among numerous people murdered in propaganda videos broadcast by the terror group. However, ISIS had its roots in extremist groups which had been using beheadings during the war in Iraq well before that.
It strains credulity to think that Muthana joined the Islamic State without full knowledge of its goals and mission. But he is hoping that social justice warriors will fall for his act. Muthana openly declared when he left to join the Islamic State that “jihad is obligatory” and that he was willing to die for the Islamic State’s cause.
While Aseel Muthana plays Westerners for fools and talks about his good old days as an ice cream seller and now misses his parents, other parents whose children were brutalized and beheaded by Islamic State jihadists such as Muthana are forced to live in grief and horror every day without their children, because they were killed in the name of Islam.
“British ice cream seller who joined ISIS in 2014 begs to come home because he ‘misses Cardiff and his mother’ after he is found in Syrian prison,” by Tim Stickings, MailOnline, October 1, 2019:
A British ice cream seller who went to join ISIS in Syria five years ago has pleaded to come home because he misses his mother and his life in Cardiff.
Aseel Muthana left Wales for Syria in February 2014, aged 17, following his brother Nasser and another friend in joining the jihadist group.
His family feared he had died but Muthana has now resurfaced at a prison camp in northern Syria and his mother has backed his plea to come home.
Speaking to ITV News from the prison, Muthana, now 22, claimed he had merely wanted to ‘help the poor’ when he travelled to Syria.
‘Back then when I first came to ISIS, you have to understand I came way before the caliphate was pronounced,’ he said.
‘Before all of these beheading videos, before all of the burnings happened, before any of that stuff.
‘We came when ISIS propaganda and ISIS media was all about helping the poor, helping the Syrian people.’
The wave of widely publicised ISIS beheadings began later in 2014, when journalist James Foley and British aid worker David Haines were among numerous people murdered in propaganda videos broadcast by the terror group.
However, ISIS had its roots in extremist groups which had been using beheadings during the war in Iraq well before that.
Begging to come home, Muthana said he missed his mother Umm Amin and his former life in the Welsh capital where he worked selling ice cream….
Rarely says
Easy solution: Send his mother to him if they miss each other so much.
Infidel says
Precisely! W/ a crate of halal ice cream, if possible!
jayell says
‘Halal ice cream’ – what would they put in that? Maybe best not to give him any ideas just in case he actually comes back!
Ray Fowler says
rot in hell, dear boy
mortimer says
Agree with rarely. Send his mum to Syria. It would be cheaper than keeping him at state expense for life in or out of prison. Moreover, such an argument coming from a may who made many orphans who because of his callous disregard for human rights now miss both of their parents, their brothers, sisters, etc. He had no mercy when he committed crimes against humanity and now he expects mercy from the country he fought against … UK.
SO WHICH SYSTEM IS BETTER WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT, MUTHANA? Is that not obvious to the criminal Aseel Muthana? Our system may not be perfect, but we LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF POWER that one person can have. In a democracy, we are accountable to each other.
His punishment should be determined by Syria and/or Iraq. He should get a life sentence with no parole. He was not a conscript when he committed crimes against humanity, but a willing volunteer.
FYI says
No.Send him to the tropical islamic paradise of…somalia:I’m sure they would like an ice cream vendor there.
It’s ilhan omar’s homeland….where she belongs.
Rarely says
Such heart-felt family reunions kinds brings a tear to your eye doesn’t it? Wherever he goes mommy should come along.
FYI says
You know what that old islamic isis aphorism says..
“The jihadist family that “prays” together,slays together”
He should be told he is going to be returned to the UK but then…is mysteriously dropped off in Somalia.
underbed cat says
He might be correct in thinking he was on a “humanitarian venture ” create a caliphate of peace (no) until they gave him weapons training or he never watched the news… small chance, then he would be kind of stuck. The scenes from Syria were awful, the U.K. rarely has allows criticism of Islam… the Prince certainly accommodated U.K.’s welcome mat..Isis quotes accurately the Quran every where believers are the victims.. they protect Islam, claim no tie to terror, kidnapping young girls, things that go boom, So was he just selling ice cream in Syria?Was he a Muslim before he left? So he is still in Syria, who runs the prisons? I read not all believers like fighting, some do. If he is dropped off in Somalia the traffickers will accommodate him to the country of choice….but he will need cash and for certain he will get a free phone. Strange how that works…the cleverness and ties to cash, phones, fake documents and legal council, and since Pelosi dollar never came, he might get handed a registration voter slip, food, medical care to vote. If the U.S. CVE continues looking for racist white supremacist, and no name terrorists at the border he might land here. Many have arrived here…..already. I would love to know who finances this…I have a guess/
Lotus says
I’m guessing Syrian prisons are hot, stuffy, overcrowded places. A ready-made market for an ice-cream seller, no?
He’s good where he is.
Infidel says
Also, why does he miss mommy? No more ISIS brides where he is? Can’t he marry Shamima Begum, who’s no longer underage? Or 4 of the many other Muslimahs from other countries in Europe?
mortimer says
In prison, he will be involved in multiple ‘marriages’ … ‘muta’ marriages.
Hugh Fitzgerald says
Muthana can sell ice cream in Syria. And his mother can come on visits, paid for out of his earnings. Unless of course she is working, which is doubtful, and can pay for herself. He joined ISIS knowing full well that it was a kuffar-killing organization, deep into decapitations in Iraq, long before he went off to join the murderous fun in Syria. He has no claim anyone’s sympathies. Since his mother is almost certainly living on the British taxpayer, let her live with him and his equally monstrous older brother Nasser instead, supported by both of them, and living among others who are just like themselves.
mortimer says
Good point from HF. I agree that many of these young tough guys were likely attracted by the prospect of decapitations and other mutilations. They were already sadists looking for an opportunity to let out their inner torturer. The consequences for committing treason, war crimes and crimes against humanity must be severe and must be enforced. We cannot allow this to happen again by allow the perpetrators to go unpunished.
Spiro says
If I read that right he joined Isis in 2014 so 5 years later he misses his mommy and turns his back on Isis
What he really misses is all the freebies and not being in a jail
This looney tune needs to stay right where he is and maybe mommy should come to visit and stay
Of course there’s plenty of Brits
who are in favor of bring him back I’m sure
Also this article doesn’t say what happened to his brother or friend
James Lincoln says
Yes, Spiro. Interesting that it took him a full five years to miss his mommy…
Rob says
‘5 years’ and a whopping defeat. Had he not been in a camp would he be pleading to return? Come home? Stick it Ma I’m getting a fresh Yazidi chick every couple of weeks. Beats Cardiff’
GreekEmpress says
Aseel Muthana had good intentions when he joined ISIS??
Are these the ones the road to hell is paved with??
Keys says
Right !
He thinks he did nothing wrong in Allah’s eyes.
He’s a hero, a holy warrior.
Adam says
How does one become a UK ice cream seller ?
Seems like something only a royal could do.
Trick_or_Treat says
BULLSHIT! Besides you or me, these scum will murder their very own mothers, fathers (or sisters, brothers, children, or grandchildren) in a f**cking heartbeat, in the blink of an eye! They have NO love, no natural affection, or God-given spirit of merciful peace and compassion dwelling in them. It’s ALL FEIGNED, an outward-show BULLSHIT – TAQQIYYA.
Yes, poster above has the right idea, rather than letting murderous dogs like this slink back into the UK [or Australia here] with their tails between their legs – but while still waving their damnable korans in the air, and still sporting their paleolithic beards, and still only calling the place ‘home’ because it’s taqqiyya convenient to do so for the timebeing – offer his mother (and any of the rest of his family and relatives) a one-way ticket to go and see him OVER THERE. That would be government money well invested.
Lastly, isn’t ice-cream haram? I would’ve thought so, it seems just about every other thing that’s delightful or pleasurable in this world is bloody haram according to damned islam and it’s miserable allah.

Oh, how sweet…not.
He spent *five years* in the Islamic State. He had plenty of time to find out what they were like.

Spot on. These people plead for kindness and sympathy now. But what kindness or sympathy did they ever show their victims? They gloried in their cruelty and heartlessness.

Let’s see: ISIS started as an al-qaeda pledge in 1999, IIRC. They came to prominence when combating coalition forces in Iraq, during the war on terror. And they declared a caliphate in 2014. Now, he supposedly left to join ISIS in February 2014. The caliphate was declared in June. In order for this idiot’s story to be true, ISIS, who had a decade and a half history of engaging in terrorist attacks, would needed to have been an humanitarian organization that, for some reason, suddenly turned into a terrorist group. And, for whatever reason, he didn’t see it coming and stayed there until his capture. Likely story, right? No, if a ship sinks at 23:00 then it is reasonable to say that by 22:56 it was taking in water. When he says “‘Before all of these beheading videos, before all of the burnings happened, before any of that stuff” simply replace “happened” with “came to public”. I believe that’s a more accurate depiction of events – he went to join an islamic terror group in Syria, and he just picked ISIS, or a group that merged with ISIS, out of the bunch. Heck, a more cynical person than me could call tawriyah:
https://www.al-islam.org/taqiyyah-sayyid-akhtar-rizvi/tawriya
Exactly what does he mean by “helping the poor, helping the Syrian people“? Could he believe that imposing an islamic regime, with all that entails (death for apostates, subjugation of non-muslims as second-class semi-slaves, slavery, demeaning of women, etc.) would be the help they required?
KWJ says
I’m not trying to defend this guy but I did see ISIS’s videos making it all look wonderful; it showed someone collecting zakat, helping a farmer pick up his sheep on a truck, they’d show a swimming pool, the computer center, kids studying, etc. I have to say it was well done, and it DID fool some people. Guess they didn’t read much news. That’s where helping the poor comes from-the propaganda videos showed that. Heck, two white teenage girls from Austria went there and later able to escape. When Iraqi forces recaptured Mosul they paraded a young white German girl through the street (they also mentioned she was Christian).
Fact is, some people are really dumb. But this guy followed his brother and another guy and I doubt all three thought they were mainly helping the poor. He may be aware of those videos or heard from someone else who was sucked in by such pleasant and inviting videos.
People managed to escape ISIS at their peril, especially some who were chosen for suicide missions. Apparently this guy stuck around and didn’t even pull the “I tried to escape or wanted to but they execute deserters.”
I think it’s an insult to Syrians and Iraqis if a Western country takes back these people where prison is cushier. How long would he be in British prison?
His mom should go to Syria which needs to rebuild. Let the Syrians decide what to do with him. Did he renounce ISIS and jihad?

The fiend is NOT British! What an INSULT to Brits to call the Muslim savage, British. The monster wants to return to Britain to get free stuff – live on permanent welfare off the taxes of hardworking Brits. And most likely to carry out future terror attacks on violently hated Jews, Christians and other non Muslim innocents.
