Jihad Club
Australian undergraduate dumps studies, joins ISIS jihadists
Former Australian 'party animals' Yusuf, a student, and Jama, a
model, left their old lives to fight for IS in Syria and Iraq. Both are
alleged members of the 'Jihad Club using social media to promote
terror.'
An Australian student, Yusuf Yusuf who abandoned his undergraduate studies and fled to
join the Islamic State jihadists in Raqqa has said on social media that he is "chillen" in IS stronghold Raqqa.
Yusuf was a Business student at La Trobe University before he decided to join the “Jihad
Club” which Daily Telegraph in a report described 'an international network of foreign
fighters using social media to promote terror.'
The drop-out and his friend, model Sharky Jama, are believed to have gone to Syria and Iraq to join with other
Australian fighters Melbourne radicals like Mounir Raad and Mahmoud Abdullatif (reportedly killed in January).
Yusuf and Jama, both of Somali descent, were reportedly 'party
animals' in Melbourne before their conversion.
But that life is over as well as his academic pursuits after he
said on Facebook that he is in IS stronghold Raqqa “chillen”.
He also posted a picture of Abdullatif holding an assault rifle in
front of an IS flag with the caption: “May Allah Grant you All the Hoors (sic)
in Full.”
Jama at the weekend also posted a graphic photo of a dead jihadist
fighter at the weekend.
“It’s strange to lose someone you love more then yourself, yet
your heart is full of happiness. One day you live and the next you are gone,”
he was quoted as saying.
He said he would meet the dead fighter in “Jannah” (the afterlife).
According to The Australian, as many as 70 Australian radicals are
believed to be fighting in Iraq and Syria, with about 20 believed to have
killed there.
