NY Post: "Pregnant Austrian teens in ISIS: We’ve made a huge mistake"

 
The change of heart is a much different tune than the note they left behind for their parents when they fled back in April, which read: “Don’t look for us. We will serve Allah — and we will die for him.

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.

Authorities in Austria say this was all an elaborate plan set up by ISIS in order to get people to think the two wanted to be the poster girls for jihad in Syria.

They have contacted their loved ones and told them they are sick of living with the Islamic State jihadis, but they also said they don’t feel they can flee from their unwanted new life because too many people now associate them with ISIS.

“The main problem is about people coming back to Austria,” said Austrian Interior Ministry spokesman Karl-Heinz Grundboeck. “Once they leave, it is almost impossible.”

Was that translated from the original Austrian?

I don't know. The NY Post just says 'By Chris Perez'. I take that to mean he wrote it.

Sweet gig. Subjugation, burka, head scarf, sex with smelly angry hairy anger.

They cannot leave because they are forbidden to leave under penalty of death.

"We've made a huge mistake."

You just don't hear that enough these days, and for these girls "I take full responsibility" actual means something, because they are paying the price for a bad decision.

You got to admire ISIS in one respect: they do what they intend. At least when they hurt people it's not due to unintended consequences that everyone tells them will happen, but they do it anyway. They don't screw you over and control your life while they tell you how it's "for the children" or "diversity" or "equality". They just say "we hate some people" and then ask for volunteers. It has a certain - albeit evil - integrity to it.

What's the difference between ISIS and leftists?

The leftists use tiny little knives, take their time, and don't waste the blood.

Just how long is a girl supposed to go without a taste of Sacher-Torte, anyway?

That's one of the kickers about martial rape. Apparently, the victims raped by the enemy then become pariahs in their own culture.

Sweet. Like Austrian pastry.

Hey look, cats have the right idea. Oust the dominant male, kill all his kittens, and then bang the crap out of all the females now in estrus.

Admirable, same as "leftists."

"We've made a huge mistake."

And now we want ALL to just go away and everything will be back exactly the way it was. Please, someone waive that magic wand.

The old saying goes.

Choose wisely. Well....they didn't and now it is too late.

Sad story but one that's as old as the hills.

Man I made the same mistake when I joined the Columbia record club when I was 12. I felt betrayed, lied to, trapped!

So I know exactly how they feel.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

I remember joining a book of the month club. Oh man did I regret that one.

lol.

It's odd how a lot of fascism originates in Austria.

The Dude said...

They are a regular beaming bundle of Freude.

Eric the Fruit Bat said...

There's a lot of blatherskite in the fancy beer subculture.

Take, for example, Viennese lager. Is it the same thing as Märzen, which is the same thing as Oktoberfest?

Who knows? Who cares?

Well, some people sure seem to.

But not Islamic terrorists.

Nope. Not at all.

How was joining the Columbia record club a bad move? What I wouldn't do for a complete set of Eugene Ormandy conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra as only he could in a schmaltzy rendition of mittle-europa whip cream standards by Strauzzzz.

Aridog said...

Am I missing something here? Aren't they good as dead now that they've said all this stuff and published it to boot?

Aridog said...

An coincidently to this post, today as I was entering a Rite-Aid store I was passed by a middle aged Arabic man in full Sunni Imam regalia accompanied by a young guy in acolyte dress who could pass for the bluest eyed Norwegian anyone has ever seen....definitely not one of the local Arabs. Looked about 19 years in age....barely any noticeable whisker stubble.

Is the Sunni ISIS recruiting in my town now? A tough gig for a place about 90% Shiite.

Aridog said...

BTW...by "dress" I mean it literally...the ankle length long man dress worn by Muslims out to make a statement.

Well, that's one way to diversify the gene pool.

Pogo w/ a Columbia Record Club nostalgia reference. LOL!

The Coen Brothers worked the record club into their narrative in A Serious Man.

Michael Haz said...

Try as I can, it's difficult to find much sympathy for the Jihad Barbies. They made what they thought would be the cool choice, only to find that reality has no a/c, no cars, no dance clubs, and no freedom.

It should be a lesson for others.

Everyone, just settle down.

This is a link to me Born Free.

Maybe they thought they were marrying Rudolph Valentino.

Yet again ANOTHER example of the need to repeal the 19th Amendment

(with all apologies to the sharp cookie distaff crowd here. Kate@smalldeadanimals is famous for saying that "I'd gladly give up my vote If I could be sure I'd take all the rest with me!" LOL!!)

No shit.

That "Arrested Development" compilation is priceless.

Remember that woman who jumped into the tiger enclosure at the zoo because she wanted to bury her face in the tiger's warm soft fur.

The colossal stupidity almost makes me cry.

Even if ISIS were to let them go, it seems the Austrians will make their return very difficult, if not impossible:

"Austrian officials said laws put in place to protect the country from returning radicalized citizens raised difficulties.

‘The main problem is about people coming back to Austria,’ said a spokesman for Austria’s interior ministry. ‘Once they leave, it is almost impossible’.”

Leland said...

I have sympathy for them only because, as Aridog points out, they are essentially dead. The article suggests they think their former Austrian community won't accept them back because their association with ISIS. The reality is that ISIS won't let them renounce their association with ISIS. If ISIS ever does let them go, I would wonder about it, because I can't imagine these girls being treated significantly different than the people ISIS is mass murdering every week.

So, these are just a few more people in the world who lost their freedom of association. Then again, they probably didn't know they had it when they decided to leave their home in Austria. Too bad.
