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

Ireland Sending Military to Syria to Bring Back Islamic State Bride

Nov 12, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

But it’s okay. She promises “I won’t kill anyone.” My latest in FrontPage:

Irish authorities really, really want Lisa Smith back in the country, so much so that they’re sending military personnel to the foreign country where she is stranded in order to rescue her. And who is this Lisa Smith? Did she discover a cure of cancer? Has she saved thousands from starvation? Has she spearheaded medical or education drives for the poor and needy? No, she has done none of those things, or anything like them. Ms. Smith, the recipient of the Irish government’s extravagant solicitude, is an ISIS bride.

The Sun reported Monday that “officials from the country’s Department of Foreign Affairs have reportedly been deployed to Turkey’s border region to retrieve the 38-year-old, who travelled to Syria three years ago to join the Islamic State. Members of the Irish military and its special operations force, the Army Ranger Wing, are understood to be assisting with the operation.”

Maybe this military action is motivated at least in part by a comradely spirit: “Smith is herself a former private in the military and member of the Irish Air Corps.” Comradely spirit combined with a fear of being accused of “Islamophobia”: Smith “quit the forces in 2011 following her conversion to Islam.”

Four years later, Smith took off from her home in Ireland, heading for Syria and the Islamic State domains. Once there, she married a Muslim who had come to the Islamic State from Britain, Sajid Aslam. The happy couple had a daughter, Rakeya.

The Sun tells us that “despite her military training, she claims never to have fought for ISIS, though is suspected of helping to train younger women in combat.”

But there is nothing, nothing whatsoever, for Irish citizens or anyone else to be concerned about. When the BBC asked her if she was going to pose a security threat in Ireland, she was unequivocal: “If you ask me am I going to hurt anyone? No. Have I any intentions to do anything? No.”

Well then! Only the most racist and bigoted of “Islamophobes” could possibly object to the use of the Irish military to rescue this sterling citizen and her daughter and lead them back to safety, where Lisa Smith will doubtless become a loyal, productive, stable Irish citizen, and raise Rakeya to be one as well, no?

After all, it gets even better. Smith also told the BBC: “I’m just interested in trying to bring my daughter up and get her educated.” Who could conceivably have a problem with that? After all, everyone knows that it is only when Muslims are uneducated and denied opportunities that they turn to jihad, right? All right-thinking people know that it is not Lisa Smith who poses a threat to Ireland, but the desperately corrupt, vicious racists who want her kept out. (Yes, Lisa Smith was born white, but she converted to Islam, so that makes her brown now, and the victim of racism from anyone who might wish to impede her jihad – er, that is, her struggle for freedom and justice.)

Smith assures us that she is no one to worry about: “I don’t even think I’m radicalised, you know? All I know is I just came to an Islamic State and it failed. So, at the beginning I didn’t come to kill anyone and when I was there I didn’t kill anyone and when I go home I’m not going to kill anyone. I just think I’m the same, you know?”

See? It’s all right. She promises it right there: “When I go home I’m not going to kill anyone.” You can take that to the bank, my friends. Once again, it would be “Islamophobic” to doubt her word, and as they send in the military to rescue this hero, the Irish authorities are going all-in on rejecting “Islamophobia.” You should, too! Don’t pay any attention to the fact that while she gave us assurances about herself, she made no promises about not raising her children to be jihadis, or not aiding in other people’s jihad activity while in Ireland. But no matter. Apparently that jihad activity is what Irish authorities want – so much that they’re planning to expend blood and treasure on bringing this jihadi home.

      Hope none of rescuers are caught or killed.

    Somewhere along the way nobody told her that Muslim terrorists are not hyper masculine defenders of the word of God. Or that little voice in her head saying no, don’t do it was shouted down by her Dreamland fantasies. Consequences are often the only way people learn and hopefully this will be seen as an example for other women who choose feelings over facts.

      These aren’t just “feelings”, DHazard–she chose savagery over goodness and decency. It is not just as though she was naive and love-struck.

    1946. Irish woman goes to Germany and marries a Nazi officer. Some suspect her of training Nazis. Now that the war is over, we must bring her home.

      Yes, a very good one indeed.

      Read about, or watch the movie “The siege of Jadotville.”

    Maybe she was undercover….?

      Nothing to indicate this–and generally, women would make poor spies in Dar-al-Islam, since they are not allowed to move freely.

      And other ISIS brides have demanded to be allowed to return to the West.

    Ireland Sending Military to Syria to Bring Back Islamic State Bride
    ………………..

    Ireland is going to put their own servicepeople in harms way to bring home this Jihadist. Suicidal madness…

    She should go and live in an islamic paradise:she would feel more at home.

    Somalia:wondrous tales I have heard….I have been told the streets are paved with Gold,there is a roast in every pot,full employment,Women’s rights are respected,gays are never thrown off rooftops:Ilhan Omar must be desperate to return home..

    Send this stupid female convert to islam to Somalia…empty beaches,tropical sunshine;apart from the pirates and islamic murder gangs it is a wonderful place.

    It’s the place for muslims{especially silly female converts to islam:don’t worry the men won’t molest you just as long as you wear the hijab and hide under a rock}

    Why not send Sinead O’Connor there instead to join her, so that she’d feel more at home?

    Does this sum up what I just read?:

    “After serving in Ireland’s military, I just went as a tourist to Syria to see the wondrous ISIS sites, you know, just like going to Paris, and fell in love. My husband turned out to be an ISIS terrorist; how was I to know? I trained some Muslim women in warfare methods but that was only for their self defense. Somehow I’ve gotten stranded. Could a few good dimmis, who my husband would have enjoyed killing, please come and rescue me to the life I deserve. I won’t hurt anyone, honest!”

      What is she hiding behind her back, a axe! Leave her there she’s a fool.

    Will the Israeli rescue them again if something goes wrong.

    Yet another ignorant, worthless, Caucasian woman. Western countries will not survive this scourge called Islam. Mark my words.

  13. No Muzzies Here says

    Nov 13, 2019 at 9:04 am

    She chose to give aid and comfort (and sex) to violent Jihadis. She converted, thus rejecting the constitutional republic of Ireland. There is no justification for bringing her back to Ireland. Obviously the Irish taxpayers will be paying the bill for her return, the daughter, housing, upkeep, etc.

  14. Anne says

    Nov 13, 2019 at 9:56 am

    Clearly indignation at Islamic criminality is quickly fading from Western minds. I Find it perplexing and sad that a civilization that has taken centuries to achieve laws based on human rights and individual freedoms is so accepting and even welcoming of Islam, a barbaric Ideology that is its inimical antithesis. Can a sense of self-preservation be resurrected? Wasting treasure and risking the safety of soldiers to “rescue” a traitor is preposterous.

    Another naive fool woman. Unable or unwilling to grasp the lessons of history, she is condemned to repeat them. Good riddance. Ireland is sick to attempt to retrieve this fool.

  16. Kerry Wade says

    Nov 13, 2019 at 1:32 pm

    All ISIS prisoners should be executed, period. Including this woman. It would save many lives money and time.

  17. Save Europe says

    Could the Eire government do something positive for a change, and send the I.R.A instead?

  18. Donovan Nuera says

    Nov 13, 2019 at 7:52 pm

    And just like loony liar Kat Tsarnaev, she was allowed to keep her daughter and raise her muslim style. Has her pediatrician checked to see if the daughter had been FGM’d yet by the shark-eye Tsarnaev sisters in New Jersey where Kat now lives? How about taking away their daughters and de-program these fiendish fillies??

    Most all of the brides I have read about intend upon raising the children to fight for Isis!

    Don’t pay any attention to the fact that while she gave us assurances about herself, she made no promises about not raising her children to be jihadis, or not aiding in other people’s jihad activity while in Ireland.

    She didn’t try to disavow herself from ISIS ideology – they’re getting lazier by the minute because they can reasonably expect to getaway with it…
