Irish soldier converts to Islam, joins ISIS, now pleads to return despite calling for caliphate and praising jihadis

JUL 6, 2019 4:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER

“I never killed anyone,” Lisa Smith insists.

Well, great: an unverifiable claim. But it doesn’t matter anyway. Hitler never killed anyone either, if we’re talking about actually holding the gun and pulling the trigger. But he was responsible for the murders of millions of people. Lisa Smith didn’t call for anyone specifically to be killed, as far as we know, but she joined an entity that has repeatedly called for the murders of non-Muslims worldwide. Accordingly, she should never be allowed to return.

“You have to take your child and look after your child, you know. She’s my No.1 priority now; that’s why I want to leave and take her home with me and get her educated. People here are not educated.”

Great. But how do we know she won’t educate her child in Islamic supremacist hatred and the need to wage jihad against Infidels?

“Female Irish soldier who joined ISIS in Syria says she should be allowed to return home with her daughter, two, despite calling for a caliphate – and insists: ‘I never killed anyone,'” by Bridie Pearson-Jones, Mailonline, July 5, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A former Irish soldier, who joined ISIS after becoming radicalised in Syria, has denied fighting for the militant group but says she wants to see a caliphate.

Lisa Smith, 37, who moved to Syria after her divorce, also denied training young girls to fight for the terrorist group and says she’s ‘never killed anyone’.

Irish Prime Minster Leo Varadkar has previously said he would allow the mother, and her two-year-old daughter back to the country, but she must be ruled out a security risk first.

Speaking to BBC Radio 4, from the refugee camp in Syria where she lives, Lisa said: ‘I want myself an actual caliphate, as in a Muslim country. Not like a group, or a brutality group’.

She said that she was never asked to fight, and even if she had wanted to, she wouldn’t have been allowed as she had her daughter.

The County Louth native added that she accepts that there was ‘a lot of brutality within the Islamic State’ but refused to answer when asked if she’d thought IS soldiers should face punishment because she ‘doesn’t know who’s telling the truth and who’s lying’.

She added she doesn’t have any plans to hurt everyone and just wants to bring her daughter to Ireland so she can get an education.

In March, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said it would be the ‘right thing to do’ to allow her to return to Ireland. She will need to be deemed ‘not a risk to security’ before returning….

Speaking to the Irish Daily Mail in April, Lisa said: ‘I want to go back to my country.’

‘I wasn’t a mother when I left. I came as a single person and I thought if I died here, I died, but when I had a child I became different, you know,’ she said.

‘You have to take your child and look after your child, you know. She’s my No.1 priority now; that’s why I want to leave and take her home with me and get her educated. People here are not educated.’

She strongly denied that she had fought with Isis, claiming she never even owned a gun despite her husband offering to buy her one for self-defence….

‘I don’t want to cause problems for anyone. I don’t want to mix.

‘I’m still me. I’m still like a good neighbour. I’m still a good friend. I’m just still me. I’m not, like, out to kill anyone. I don’t believe in suicide attacks.’

Asked whether she would travel again to such a state, she insisted that she wouldn’t as it was her ‘biggest mistake’.

Friends described Lisa as ‘a party girl who enjoyed a good time’ before she went through a bad breakup, converted to Islam and became radicalised.

By 2013 she had converted to Islam in Dundalk where she apparently began attending the local mosque and bringing much younger relatives along for the worship.

Her Facebook page is also said to have undergone a transformation, from ‘cute animal’ photos to pictures of her wearing a veil and posts appearing to praise jihadists.

Speaking to Extra.ie, friend Carol Duffy said she had tried to keep Smith from turning to radicalism.

The Muslim community in Ireland had ‘strongly rejected’ her extremism, she said, adding that she would have reported her if she had known the extent of her radicalisation.

Another friend told The Sun: ‘She was a party girl in the sense that she enjoyed going out, drinking and having a good time.

‘She was really sound, a really nice girl and someone who was always there for her friends.

‘She started suffering from depression after a bad break-up and she was introduced to Islam by a close associate. She really got into it and became really radicalised.’

Later she reportedly described Western culture as ‘dirty’ saying that her friends had been ‘brainwashed’ into standing by it

She can come back on one condition.
Her execution will take place on the tarmac immediately after she disembarks the plane.

She wants her daughter to be educated. She also wants a caliphate. In a caliphate her daughter will not be educated. She does not see this as a problem.

An Irish choice, not mine. She should be grateful it isn’t mine.

She’s been told to return to the West and do all she can to undermine the land of her birth.

Absolutely NOT!

She still believes in that destructive Muslim terrorist philosophy.

She would just be a spy for them.

Hanging would be appropriate. More than fair.

When he discovered that Mohammedans don't drink, he realized that he had made a mistake.

The Irish Govt will take her, have you seen how many muslimes Ireland has been taking in? They are kicking their own citizens out of their houses, in order to make room for the “refugees”. Ireland is a lost cause.

It would make some sense to vet returning enemy soldiers, on a case-by-case basis. Maybe they could once again become loyal and productive citizens.

But only once the war is over! We are still in the early stages of the 'Islam vs. Everyone Else' war. Letting that ISIS convert in now would be like letting an SS camp guard in during WWII.

Both that ISIS convert and that SS guard belong in the same place. At the bottom of some deep dungeon of some castle somewhere.
