Why a Belgian Chef Is Joining ISIS: 'Fighting Against Americans' BY AMMAR CHEIKH OMAR After two years of fighting alongside al Qaeda-backed militants in Syria, Abu Saif thought he was done with jihad and ready to return to his “normal” life as a chef in Belgium. But everything changed when Sunni militants swept through northern Iraq and brought their brand of holy war to a global audience.

The 31-year-old cut ties with his old fighting force and put in with the rival Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), setting out for the militants’ stronghold of Raqqa and then, he hopes, on to Iraq.

“Fighting against the Americans and the Shiites is one of my biggest wishes,” Abu Saif, 31, told NBC News. “I would go straight to paradise.”

““Fighting against the Americans and the Shiites is one of my biggest wishes,” Abu Saif, 31, told NBC News. “I would go straight to paradise.”

This pretty much sums it up...

Blow him up.

Well, that’s a hell of a misleading headline. It’s more like his hobby is cooking and his full time job is Jihad. And I was expecting a solid Belgian name like “Gilles LeFleur” Not “Abu Saif”. If I went into a Chinese restaraunt and the head cook was named “Paddy McGillicutty” I would be concerned that my dining experience was not genuine. The same with “abu Saif” in Belgium.
Rant over.

The Belgian is not waffling.

"unluckily for him, his voodoo religion is too stupid to translate properly. those aren't 72 virgins waiting for him in paradise, those are raisins"

May all his 72 refurbished virgins resemble Joan Rivers.

LOL! OMG, all this dying due to a misinterpretation by another lowlife!!

“The Belgian is not waffling.”

OK. I laughed. *SMIRK*

[Olog-hai]

Never mind cutting ties with al-Qaeda and joining ISIS when both of them are the same thing.

The phrase “done with jihad” did make me do a double take, gotta say.

Stop.importing.muslims.

I read the article you linked to. I did not realize there was such a lack of textual criticism with the koran. I know if i fought and died for Islam I would be truly angry when I got to the afterlife and all that awaited me there was a really good produce section.

Keep in mind that 1) Mohammed was illiterate & 2)the Quran was compiled in no particular pattern & 3)the Quran contains many words whose meanings are unknown & 4)about 1/3 of the sentences in the Quran make no sense.

That can be arranged.

>>Abu Saif, 31, told NBC News.<< - calling ‘Abu Saif’ a Belgian is completely wrong. Because ‘Abu Saif’ is NOT a Belgian.

[odds]

More accurately said is: an Islamist in Belgium, USA, UK, the Netherlands, Greece, Germany, etc.. said ‘whatever’..

[Celtic Conservative]

Wow, and people base their lives around it? No wonder so many of them are crazy.

4)about 1/3 of the sentences in the Quran make no sense.

So it was written by a guy who drafts U.S. government memorandums and federal regulations?

Crap. I guess them there waffles are off the menu now. Dang.
