Just sick!!!....4 Missing Canadian teenagers may have joined ISIS

Last edited Sat Feb 28, 2015, 06:15 PM - Edit history (1)

Canadian authorities are looking for at least four teenagers who may have flown to Turkey in a bid to join ISIS, a police source told CNN -- the latest in a string of such defections by Westerners lured to the Middle East fight for the Islamist group.

Two of the four teenagers are women from Laval, Quebec, while at least one is a male from Montreal, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported.

The teenagers reportedly flew from Montreal to Turkey in mid-January. Two days later, family members alerted the police. It's unclear where the teens are now.

Three of the missing teenagers attended Montreal CEGEP Collège de Maisonneuve.

Three of them attended a Montreal community college that has now suspended its lease arrangement with an Islamic group after finding evidence of what administrators described as "hate speech" involving one of the group's leaders, according to a school official.

I don't appreciate the need to constantly add the disclaimer, "Most Muslims are peaceful" here at the DU, because to me that is obvious as well. That practically goes without saying, but if that's what you have to write to present your point of view effectively, then do it.

The argument against religious extremists, specifically Muslim Extremists, is so strong that there shouldn't be a need to be sarcastic about it among thinking, educated, people.

Is this post mean?

Yes, it is.

These teens will reap what they have sown. They want to cast their lot with the terrorists, then they'll get what they deserve. I'd guess that ISIS will hold them hostage and kill them before we ever find them anyway.

Better question...how did they get passports?





Agent at gate: "So are you traveling to Turkey on business or pleasure"?

13 year old girl: " No I'm joining ISIS to behead non-believers and kill infidels."

Agent at gate: " Well have a wonderful flight and please fly with us again"

Perhaps I should pose as a teenager on FB, get offered a flight to Istanbul...have a blast and come on back.

They'd never recognize me since I'm 50 plus.

Seriously, this is just awful. But I don't have a lot of sympathy for these stupid kids doing this.

I just don't.

I most likely look better in a burqa than I do in my usual running shorts and t-shirt!

Yeah, the one way ticket would be a turn-off. It sure would be fun to scam them though...

I'd have a fake FB profile as some young cute thing. Tell them I'll be there on the ticket they sent, and they wait for this young girl to get off the plane.

Meantime, old Cwydro just walks on through customs with her grey (ish) hair, old backpack with US, UK, Welsh, and peace sign flag patches...

Older women are almost invisible to most younger men. Especially ISIS assholes I would imagine.

It could be done, I bet.

I just watched video on BBC of them hanging around the bus station is Istanbul for a few hours before heading out.

The BBC talked to a smuggler who said his friend took them to the border once they got to that border town.

They hopped the fence. Someone was waiting on the other side.

CCTV pictures have emerged showing three UK schoolgirls on the Turkish leg of what is believed to have been their journey to join Islamic State in Syria.

Shamima Begum and Amira Abase, 15, and Kadiza Sultana, 16, flew from London to Istanbul on 17 February.

The images show them waiting at Bayrampasa bus station later that day.

Scotland Yard believes the Bethnal Green Academy students are now in Syria. They are thought to have been met at the border by IS militants.

"The teenage girls who abandoned their families in Austria to become jihadis for ISIS feel they’ve made a terrible mistake by joining the barbaric lifestyle and they want to come home."

Says who?

"Dubbed by Austrian media as the poster girls for jihad, the young friends now believe their lives have been turned upside down by their new lifestyles."

Says who?

"For weeks, social media accounts believed to belong to the girls have been posting pictures and information leading many to feel they enjoyed living a life of terror."

That seems to be the only actual evidence of anything, and it doesn't support the story. But Australian officials think they're faking.

This story is so pathetically contentless that I suspect its desperate propaganda by the Australian authorities.

Which is not to say that I would encourage any young women to head to ISIS land.
