Austrian teen girls secretly fly to Syria to fight in Civil War, parents shocked

[Tender Branson]

The poster girls for jihad: Interpol searches for two Austrian teens 'who went to Syria to fight for Islamic rebels'.

    Samra* Kesinovic, 16, and Sabina* Selimovic, 15, vanished on April 10
    Social media posts then began, showing girls in Islamic dress
    Interpol believes they have been tricked into going to Syria
    Shocking photographs shown one of the girls with AK-47-wielding men

 

Samra and Sabina come from Bosnian refugee families who settled in Austria after the ethnic wars of the 1990s, and were born in the country.

New photos on their Facebook pages show them brandishing Kalashnikov rifles - and in some cases surrounded by armed men.

In the latest posting they announced plans to marry so that they could become 'holy warriors' and in the messages they say: 'Death is our goal'.

However, their families doubt that the messages were written by them.

* not their real names

It looks like their parents led a liberal lifestyle (like most of the Bosnian-Muslim immigrants from the early 90s), but the girls went to some radical preacher in a mosque who radicalized them (or: they became radicals over the Internet and the mosque-people only arranged their flight to Turkey and transport to Syria ...)

Anyway, terrible form of brainwashing.

'Brainwashing'? It looks like they did it willingly.

That's not entirely sure yet: It became known that they could have become radicalized when they went to Bosnia a few times to visit their relatives there and went to a local fundamentalist mosque (which has also a branch in Vienna).

They either did this voluntarlily (but, what's more likely) - 14-year old girls are easy targets for these sorts of fundamentalists. They just need to put them under pressure or make threats.

If they did it voluntarily, it's still "brainwashing" - because they believe the silly motives of radical Islam and think that they might have any influence in this deadly war.

"The girls, media reports, have visited the Altun-Alem mosque in Vienna, before they vanished. The hate preacher Ebu Tejma is currently there. He is known as one of the most radical salafists in Europe."

...

A quick research on Youtube reveals that Ebu Tejma also praised Osama Bin Laden as a man "who did a great job in building up the Islamist terror cells all over the planet".

FBI probing if 3 American teens detained in Germany attempted to join ISIS

The FBI says it is investigating the possibility that three American teenage girls were attempting to join the Islamic State in Syria when they were detained in Germany.

A law enforcement source told Fox News Tuesday that the girls are home in Colorado after they were tracked down in Frankfurt. The three girls are all under the age of 18 and are not expected to face charges. Two of the girls are of Somali descent and one is of Sudanese descent, according to the source.

VOA News reported Sunday that the girls had vanished from their homes last week and traveled from Colorado to Chicago, and then Frankfurt. The girls’ family members reported them missing to authorities in Denver, who then worked with authorities in Germany to track them down.

According to VOA News, one of the girls told German authorities they were planning to go to Turkey “to study."

...

Yeah, exactly. To "study" ...

More like "to get raped, get pregnant, enslaved and abused".

2 more girls likely on the way to Syria:



2 Austrian-born sisters of Turkish-origin missing since Saturday (their mobile phones are dead and their passports are gone with them as well).

That's now ca. 40 girls/women out of 160 Austrians who went to Syria/Iraq. 70 of the 160 are already back home again and being watched by the authorities, 40 are dead and 50 are still abroad.

...

Don't know what's wrong with these teenie girls. Other girls are scratching their eyeballs out if they can't visit a Justin Bieber concert and these chicks would do the same if they cannot go to Syria and try again and again. Probably the same teenage stupidity. And when they are 35 years old, they look back and realize how dumb they were when they were young ...

And they are already free again:
