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.
