Teenage Jihad Girls Gone Wild!

The post on Psellus's facebook timeline reminded me that I haven't shared this nugget yet.

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

Interpol is searching for two Austrian teenage girls who they believe were tricked into going to Syria to fight for Islamist rebels.

Samra Kesinovic, 16, and Sabina Selimovic, 15, vanished from their homes in Vienna on April 10.

But the first hint their parents received as to where the girls might have gone was a spate of social media posts claiming they had gone to fight a 'holy war'.

But the parents say that they don't believe the messages are being written by the girls. Authorities suspect they have been tricked into leaving the country.

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.

The fighting in Syria continues to be fierce - just today a bomb was detonated in the northern city of Aleppo, destroying buildings and injuring children.

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

However, it has since emerged that some of these pictures have been circulated online for years - casting doubt on whether they actually show the girls.

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'.

Their families doubt that the messages were really written by them.

Austrian officials believe that the pair, judging by the scenes around them, are in a training camp and are not only already married, but also already living in the homes of their new husbands.

In Vienna the family admitted that the two had recently started going to a local mosque run by a radical Imam, Ebu Tejma.

The girls' fathers are reportedly already abroad looking for their daughters, who have not contacted their parents.

It is thought that they have been sending online messages to their friends speaking of their new lives and boasting that 'nobody will ever find us'.

Austrian media said the two teenagers had become the public face for the call to jihad in Syria, and alleged that they had been tricked into going to the country in order to publicise the call to arms.

The latest case of young people getting caught up in the Syrian conflict comes after an 18-year-old British man died in Syria - only for his father to reveal he had no idea his son had gone there.

Abdullah Deghayes, 18, from Brighton, East Sussex, was caught up in fighting in Syria. But his father Abubaker said today: 'At the moment we do not have details of his death. All that we know is that he was killed in Syria. The family is mourning.'

Abdullah was the nephew of former Guantanamo Bay detainee Omar Deghayes.

I hope they get a Hellfire up the butt. Anal.

Germans have a need to kill someone.  The lack of militarism in Europe means they have to migrate elsewhere.

Austrian media say that they grew up like "normal Western girls" - dressing as teens do, having boyfriends, going to parties. In the weeks/months before their leaving they supposedly started hanging out with teenagers of Chechen roots and became hyper-religious. Roughly 26,000 Chechens live in Austria, the large majority in Vienna, in my district (there's plenty Chechen graffiti on the walls, besides the usual Serb/Bosnian/Turkish ones).

Why would Austria want to get people like this back?  Seems like a win-win.

You have to sympathize with their parents. They managed to escape the Yugoslav Wars and start families in Vienna only to have some asshole at a mosque turn their daughters into jihadis as soon as they started to explore their heritage.

The fuck is it with Bosnians? This shit is crazy.

I guess I'm famous for my eccentric like/dislike of seemingly random Central and Eastern European ethnicities, but TBH Bosniaks are probably the only ethnicity I actively dislike.  My 15 year old cousin was murdered at the Trolley Square shooting and I wish we'd never let them in as refugees, even if I think the intervention was necessary. 

[Queequeg]

That's not entirely accurate, I guess.  We had a guy working on our house who was Bosniak.  He seemed pretty nice, and very hardworking.  It is weird for me to have an actual ethnic prejudice, though, and not one that I just play up for forum schtick purposes.

I had a Bosnian cab driver in Montreal one time who was very nice.

The most attractive woman I've ever met was Bosnian -- the daughter of a mixed Serb/Bosniak couple who eventually made it to San Diego. If they hadn't boarded the last bus north from Banja Luka, Karadzic's people would probably have murdered all of them.

First girl looks a little like the Yugoslav exchange student that went to my High School in 88 or 89. She wore the most awful east bloc shoes.

That headgear can really take a decent-looking girl and make her ugly.

I've been to Bosnia a couple of times and Bosnians are great. My friends out there have very little good to say about Bosnian Serbs though.

I don't think there's anything particularly Bosnian in this story. It seems like most other stories of radicalisation I've read. The only difference is that they're women.

Peripheral Muslims are a lot of the time the most likely to go apeshit about it.  I had a really detailed email exchange about it with Georgi Derluguian once.
