Jihad them at hamburger.
TWO of the four Sydney brothers recruited to the Islamic State terrorist group have been revealed to be “obese” and “unfit”, and are unlikely to be allowed to fight.
A Sydney mother has been devastated by the news that her four sons — aged 17, 23, 25 and 28 — have been lost to the barbaric jihadist group.
She was shocked to receive a text from one of her boys on Friday, a day before they were due to return from a holiday in Thailand.
“We made it to Bilad al-Sham (a region in Syria). We will see you in Paradise,” the text read.
Muslim community leader and friend of the family Jamal Rifi said they had no idea their sons had been radicalised.
“From my interaction from the mother, father and family, they are devastated,” he told news.com.au.
“I see this mother grieving the potential loss of her kids, not being aware of what’s being planned by them.”
Dr Rifi confirmed that two of the brothers were unfit and unlikely to be helpful to the extremist army.
“Two of them, they are quite obese; they are not good foot soldiers. I mean, they are over 140kg and people who are going to see them there, they are going to realise, what are they going to do with them? ‘You are going to eat our food and you can’t even run on the field?’” Dr Rifi told Sydney radio station 2UE in an interview this morning.
Talk about putting the fat into Caliphate.
The question is, did they really join ISIS on ideological grounds? Or rather the menu, which consists of some hearty meals and raisins for dessert?
