The ISIS jihadi in question didn’t seem concerned about being on Tinder. The idea that authorities might find him through that was apparently out of the question. He knew he could relax.
“And you thought your dating life was bad! Newsreader Natasha Exelby reveals she matched with an ISIS militant on Tinder,” by Monique Friedlander, Daily Mail Australia, October 7, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Channel 10 newsreader Natasha Exelby has shared her worst online dating experience – and it’s a doozy.
The affable journalist, 32, who went viral in 2017 after being caught daydreaming on-air, spoke candidly about her less-than-stellar love life on Thursday during an interview with 2Day Fm’s Morning Crew.
‘I was working in the Middle East, based on the Turkish-Syrian border a few years ago, so I went on Tinder – as you do, in-between war reporting,’ she said, sending radio hosts Erin Molan, David Hughes and Ed Kavalee into fits of laughter.
‘Anyway, I thought maybe I could [find] myself a saucy UN worker, or a diplomat or something. Turns out, I swiped right on an ISIS militant!’
The radio hosts erupted in another chorus of shocked laughter.
‘Well, he was very attractive!’ Natasha insisted, prompting Erin to interject: ‘Was that in his profile? Was that his job?’
‘No, of course it wasn’t in his profile,’ Natasha replied, adding: ‘But you know, we got to talking and one of the obvious questions is, ‘What do you do for a living?”
‘And then he told me what he did,’ she shrugged.
Natasha went on to explain that dating apps usually require users to provide a reason for why they want to ‘un-match’ with someone.
‘There wasn’t a box for [ISIS militant], was there?’ she joked, adding: ‘so, I’m a little stumped!’…

Tinder matches Australian newsreader with Islamic State jihadi
………………
Of course, this story could have worked out much differently than just becoming an OMG anecdote. Natasha Exelby could have been kidnapped, held for ransom, raped, or murdered.
Social media often bans anyone even slightly right of center, but a Jihad terrorist is OK?

Thank goodness she was a “streetwise” journalist working over there. It begs the question, how many other “un-streetwise” innocent female Tinder applicants have been matched up with ISIS militants, who actually should be banned from sites such as Tinder.

I have no idea how Tinder works, but would this ISIS scumbag have thought that he was talking to a Muslim woman, you know, a potential ISIS bride or some such person. Plenty of Muslim women seem to like those subhuman, sadistic vermin from ISIS are wonderful, but most non-Muslims would think that the ISIS creatures are scum of the earth. I was wondering if this story is actually complete BS. From the people on that radio station, at least Dave Hughes and Ed Kavalee, it is a comedy radio show. So, maybe it is anything for a laugh type of thing from Natasha Exelby. I am not a fan of Hughes, Kavalee or Erin Molan at all. I don’t think they are funny and would never bother with them. As someone who lives in Australia, it is interesting that Erin Molan’s father is an impressive man. I think he was a General in the Army, very high up at any rate, became a Senator in the federal parliament (might still be) and I often hear and see him interviewed on defence matters. He is excellent. His daughter, Erin Molan, always has seemed to me to be someone who absolutely craves being a celebrity more than anything else. If she was ever out of the spotlight her world would fall apart. But her father, Jim Molan, is a very good person. He is battling cancer lately, though maybe he has overcome that.

I wonder how she managed to bail on him? Did she tell him that she had some STD and scare him off? That’s what I would have done had I been in her high heels ?

Oh my there are bad people and islamic men trolling the internet for unsuspecting women.
ISIS uses the internet as a tool for recruiting so why wouldn’t they also look for women and girls to satisfy their child bride desires and sex life.
Now don’t be Islamophobic! There are plenty of pedophiles and other perverts trolling the internet as well, buyer beware!
