EX-JIHADI BRIDE BLAMES RACISM FOR HER RADICALIZATION

Milo-

Tania Georgelas, born Joya Choudhury, met her jihadi sweetheart through a Muslim dating site. They both shared a passion for jihad and dreamed of having children to “train them to be assassins or soldiers.”

In an interview with The Atlantic, the ex-jihadi bride said she was radicalized after her British Asian family was targeted by racists.

“Growing up in London was rough, I came from a very poor family,” she said. “We were second-generation immigrants and had faced a lot of racism.

 

“We had bad neighbors, they would smash our windows but generally I just felt like an outsider. I was looking for a way to retaliate and I wanted honor again.”

Georgelas was 14 during al-Qaeda’s 9/11 attacks and said she became “jihadi hardcore” shortly afterward.

She met American convert John Georgelas through a Muslim dating site and they married in England when she was still a teen.

John Georgelas, who used the name Yahya Abu Hassan, became a well-known extremist scholar and an influential figure in ISIS.

John Georgelas was jailed in 2006 for providing IT assistance for a jihadi website and expressing his desire to support al-Qaeda online.

After he was released, the family relocated to Egypt and socialized with a burgeoning circle of jihadis.

  1. “… but generally I just felt like an outsider …”

    How you “feel” isn’t contingent on others.

    I wonder if it ever occurred to her that, at some point, everyone becomes sentient, and understands that he, or she, is an individual organism – separate and distinct from every other organism on Earth.
    Seems to occur about puberty – when that “longing for belonging” begins – and which some people confuse with politics, religion, and is influenced by whatever neuroses he happen to possess.

    Don’t know if it’s real or not, just a thought.

    izlamo delenda est …

  2. She and her children should never have been allowed back into the States. Her mindset is that of a jihadist and will always be that. We have our own Islamic family disaster up here called the Khadr family. They sponge off the people of Canada with the most famous being the little murdered Omar who just received 10.5 million from the government for his imprisonment in Guantanamo for murdering a US medic. Hopefully that will help bring down Trudeau in the next election.

  3. More to the story. She’s living with the husbands’ mother/father (father was high rank military officer) in upscale neighborhood, dating another IT specialist, supposedly attending a Christian church.

  4. “Georgelas says she has renounced Islam since moving to Texas. She has joined a Christian Unitarian church and wants to help deradicalize returning ISIS fighters.”

    Point of contention, Unitarians are not Christians!
