Somali Australian Male model Sharky Jama dies fighting for Islamic State

[Admin]

Tony Abbott, Australia’s prime minister, has urged Australians not to join theIslamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) “death cult” after a 25-year-old male model from Melbourne became the latest foreign recruit to die while fighting with militants in Syria.

Sharky Jama, a former model and keen football player from Melbourne’s Somali community, had been based in Iraq but was shot dead in Syria.

His family said they received a text message and phone call from someone on Monday informing them that he had been killed.

Hussein Haraco, a Melbourne Somali community leader, said he had known Jama’s family for ten years and he was known as a good person who assisted other community members.

“They haven’t got any idea what is the reason,” Mr Haraco told ABC News.“He was just a young man playing soccer and being at other activities and suddenly something happened and he went to Syria. [it’s] really shocking for the whole community and we are really confused.”About 90 Australians have gone to the Middle East to fight for Isil, including about 20 who have been killed.The nation was shocked by the apparent death last month of Jake Bilardi, a Melbourne teenager who is believed to have died in a suicide bombing.The death of Jama prompted Mr Abbott to issue a plea to Australians to stop “going overseas to join these terrorist groups”.“Don’t. They are death cults. That’s what they are,” Mr Abbott said.“They’re not about religion. They’re just about death. And it’s just as likely to be your death as anyone else’s death. If you go overseas for this kind of purpose, you are a danger to others, you are a danger to yourself. Don’t do it.”Australian officials said they were unable to confirm the latest death.Mr Abbott this week said he would deploy a further 330 Australian troops to train the Iraqi army to hold and seize ground from Isil.Source: http://www.telegraph.co.uk

Good riddance.

Was he trying to "cleanse his soul" after that modeling gig? What prompted this young man to go and die fighting for a terrorist group? My condolences to his family. AUN.

The terrorist masterminds convince these young and naive people that joining their murder squard is the surest short cut to heaven. How sad that these young people are not capable of any logical reasoning with the terrorist recruiters.

I would have said the same thing had it not been for the fact that the deceased was himself a victim of an organised criminal group's vicious deception and brainwashing campaign.

Sorry I have no patience or sympathy for these fools especially Somali fools of daesh,AL shaydaan or any death and destruction groups, if they want to go to heaven why don't they help thousands of the orphans that are living in destitute in every corner of Somalia, Kenya Ethiopia etc. But no the only thing they know is destruction.

A lot of these terrorist recruiters seem to target those who are transitioning to religious life but haven't quite made the full transition yet. So if a Somali guy is a non-practicing dude who isn't religious at all and has almost no knowledge on Islam....what would happen is that these recruiters would target him as soon as he starts to transition to being a practicing Muslim.

 

And since this naive brother is susceptible to all sorts of negative influence at this stage, it would be easy for any ISIS recruiter to manipulate him and make him join a terrorist organization.

 

And since these Somalis have almost no knowledge on Islam, it would be easy for an ISIS recruiter to feed them lies, and tell them that these despicable actions are actually condoned in Islam when they're really not.
