Scottish Muslimah Aqsa Mahmood Joins ISIS and Calls for More Terrorist Attacks
Why are so many Western Muslims, from good families, rushing to the Middle East to wage jihad? Could it have something to do with Allah commanding Muslims to wage jihad (see Qur’an 9:29, 9:73, 9:111, 9:123, etc.)?
Glasgow, Scotland (CNN) — In November of last year, 19-year-old Aqsa Mahmood gave her father, Muzaffar, a long hug goodbye. He remembers, he says, because she looked especially beautiful. He remarked upon it to his wife, saying there was something different about his daughter.
The night before, she had asked her sisters to sleep together in one big bed. Aqsa gave a lingering farewell to her bedridden grandmother, and that’s when Khalida, her mother, knew something was wrong.
Standing in her daughter’s empty bedroom, Khalida told CNN, “There was something about the way she said ‘Khuda Hafiz’ (God’s Blessings) while taking leave that day, which made us all wonder. My husband even asked if everything was OK, and I said she is fine.”
Four days later, Aqsa called her parents back in Scotland, just as she was crossing into Syria from its border with Turkey. Her parents were left heartbroken and confused.
Her father says when he spoke to her about coming home, she said that she would see her family on Judgment Day and would like to be a martyr.
She has been prolific on social media, advocating ISIS and Islamic caliphate beliefs, and calling for attacks to be carried out in Western countries. She posts photos of AK-47s and exults in ISIS executions. Her recent posting online has called to follow the example set by “brothers from Woolwich, Texas, and Boston.”
Family lawyer Aamer Anwar talked about the family’s heartbreak.
“There was nothing they (Aqsa’s parents) could have done different. She was a bedroom radical. And if this could happen to Aqsa, who had all the life chances, the best education that money can buy, a family that was moderate, liberal … if it could happen to her, somebody who was so intelligent, then it could happen to any family,” Anwar said.
Aqsa is said to be influenced by watching sermons online and coming in contact with people through social media that helped her make the trek from Glasgow to Syria. (Continue Reading.)
