Admin Posted July 22, 2014 A blind jihadist pictured fighting alongside ISIS militants in Syria has reportedly urged others to join the Islamist militants, saying having a disability is no excuse.Taymullah al-Somali, a Dutch national who is believed to have travelled to the Middle East earlier this year, has been photographed numerous times alongside ISIS militants and is believed to be based in the capital of the self-declared caliphate, Raqqa.The Somalia-born militant has been quoted on known Islamist social media accounts urging Muslims to join ISIS, reportedly saying: 'Being blind didn't stop me from coming to #Syria, what's your excuse?' Militant: Numerous images of Taymullah al-Somali (centre) have emerged, including this one showing him posing alongside two men from Belgium. The man on the left is reportedly named Hicham Chaib Ready for war: Taymullah al-Somali is seen posing with an anti-aircraft gun while dressed in combat fatigues Numerous images of al-Somali have recently emerged, showing him posing alongside an international group of jihadists - including at least two from Belgium, one of whom is reportedly named Hicham Chaib.One image shows him posing with an anti-aircraft weapon while dressed in combat fatigues, while another chilling photograph shows him among a group of gun-toting militants holding a young child.Another shot shows al-Somali outside an apparent sharia law court in the city of Raqqa, adorned with the black jihadist flags that have become symbolic of ISIS' reign of terror in the Middle East.Al-Somali, who is often pictured smiling, has become something of a poster boy for jihadists in the Middle East, who use his disability as a rallying cry that nobody is beyond joining ISIS' ranks. Taymullah al Somali poses with an unidentified militant outside a sharia law court in the Syrian city of Raqqa. The building is adorned with the black jihadist flags symbolic of ISIS' reign of terror in the Middle East Chilling: This photograph shows al-Somali among a group of gun-toting militants holding a young child in Syria Background: Although al-Somali's true identity has not yet been confirmed, at least one Islamist website named him as Bashir Abu Mu'adh, who arrived in the Netherlands as a child in the early 1990s One of those retweeting images of al-Somali is Abu Uthmaan al-Britanni, who is understood to be a 24-year-old former shop worker from Britain who travelled to Syria from the town of Portsmouth.An ISIS-affiliated social media account quoted al-Britanni praising al-Somali, saying: 'He is a wonderful friend Mujahid [fighter]. Although his eyes are blind, he is always smiling.'Images of al-Somali first emerged on an account believed to be maintained and updated by the militant himself, although it likely someone else actually posts the messages on his behalf.One photograph he shared was uploaded with the caption: 'Being blind did not stop me. What is your excuse for staying behind?'.Another post urging more jihadists to join ISIS added: 'My beloved brothers, if there is anyone with a valid excuse to reframe [sic] from jihad, it's me. I am blind!'

He has been photographed numerous times alongside ISIS militants No support: Earlier today Turkey's top Islamic cleric and the successor to the last Muslim caliph's most senior imam said ISIS' declaration of a caliphate (pictured) 'has no legitimacy whatsoever' Although al-Somali's true identity cannot be be confirmed, at least one Islamist website named him as Bashir Abu Mu'adh, who arrived in the Netherlands as a child in the early 1990s.Earlier today Turkey's top Islamic cleric and the successor to the last Muslim caliph's most senior imam said ISIS' declaration of a caliphate 'has no legitimacy whatsoever'.Mehmet Gormez, the head of the Religious Affairs Directorate - the highest religious authority in Turkey, added that ISIS' death threats against Christians were a threat against all civilisation. 'Since the caliphate was abolished ... there have been movements that think they can pull together the Muslim world by re-establishing a caliphate, but they have nothing to do with reality, whether from a political or legal perspective,' he said.'The statement made against Christians is truly awful. Islamic scholars need to focus on this [because] an inability to peacefully sustain other faiths and cultures heralds the collapse of a civilisation,' he added,Since ISIS' advance across northern Iraq in June, Christians have fled the city of Mosul, where the militants are based, after they were given the choice to convert, pay a religious tax or be executed.Mosul's Christian community is one of the world's oldest in the world, tracing its roots back two thousand years.SOURCE: http://www.dailymail.co.ukhttp://www.somaliaonline.com/blind-somali-member-of-isis-urges-others-in-the-west-to-join-him-saying-having-a-disability-is-not-an-excuse/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coofle Posted July 22, 2014 I don't usually feed on Conspiracy theories, but Considering the immense evidence I start to believe that many of the so called foreign Jihadists are bunch of CIA/MOSAD operatives...Our subject in the above is suspiciously unstable. First thing to do is change your name to ... Abuu-Someone(that don't exist)-Al-Soomaali..and commit every crime anonymously. A true Jihadist who is willing to be a martyr and left his home to foreign land will never go to the limits to hide his identity. The remaining bunch are lost souls who by joining a cult have the feeling of belonging. Jihaadka cayaarta ka daaya... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is all a database, you get called up with incentives of cash. These are machine killers. Mk-Ultra? Something along the line.

Holac Posted July 22, 2014 This is what I call being completely out of touch and confused. Who will take care of him the moment the battle intensifies? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
