A mother who took her toddler son to Syria has been jailed for six years for joining the so-called Islamic State.
Tareena Shakil, 26, is the first woman from the UK to return from the self-declared caliphate to be convicted of the offence.
Sentencing her, Mr Justice Inman said she had shown no remorse and had known her son’s future would ultimately be “as an IS fighter”.
He told Shakil: “You allowed him to be photographed next to an AK47.”
‘Abhorrent’
Shakil, from Birmingham, but formerly of Burton-upon-Trent in Staffordshire, admitted travelling to Syria but denied joining IS and encouraging acts of terrorism through messages posted on Twitter.
Passing sentence at Birmingham Crown Court, the judge said: “Most alarmingly you took your toddler son to Syria knowing how he would be used.
“You embraced your role in providing fighters of the future.”
Shakil posed the boy, who was 14 months old at the time, for pictures wearing an IS-branded balaclava, in what the judge described as one of the most “abhorrent” features of the case.

Mr Justice Inman told Shakil she had “embraced Isis”, sending messages on the day she arrived in Syria saying she was not coming back to the UK, telling her family it was part of her faith to kill the murtadeen (apostates) and that she wanted to die a martyr.
He said it was clear she had been “radicalised” following online conversations with prominent members of the terrorist group.
Shakil, who was convicted on Friday, maintained she took her son to Syria, in October 2014, to escape an “unhappy family life”.
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL; Arabic: الدولة الإسلامية في العراق والشام), also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS, /ˈaɪsɨs/) or the Islamic State of Iraq and ash-Sham,[35]Daesh (داعش, Arabic pronunciation: [ˈdaːʕiʃ]), or Islamic State (IS),[36] is a Salafi jihadistextremist militant group and self-proclaimed Islamic state and caliphate, which is led by and mainly composed of Sunni Arabs from Iraq and Syria.[37] As of March 2015[update], it has control over territory occupied by ten million people[38] in Iraq and Syria, and has nominal control over small areas of Libya and Nigeria. The group also operates…
It will hardly come as a surprise to anyone that the leadership of Islamic State top the list of the most wanted terrorists on earth and I am in no doubt that eventually justice will catch up with them all and they will ultimately pay for their heinous crimes against humanity.
If not in this life , then surely Karma will catch up with them in the next and instead of finding countless virgins waiting for them in paradise , these will be thrown into the eternal flames of hell and burn to the end of time.
Karma always collects its debt!

It the latest and endless crimes against humanity Islamic State fighters have ‘massacre and kidnap hundreds’ in eastern city of Deir Ezzor
Reports say group’s fighters slaughtered up to 300 people and took another 400 hostage in major offensive which saw it expand control in the .Islamic State militants have massacred up to 300 people and taken 400 hostage in a major offensive on the eastern city of Deir Ezzor, according to Syrian state media and opposition activists.
The state-run SANA news agency said that most of those killed in Saturday’s attacks were elderly people, women and children, while opposition activists said many of the victims were Syrian soldiers and pro-government militiamen and their families.
The killings are some of the worst carried out by the extremist group, which controls large parts of Syria and Iraq and has killed thousands of people in both countries.
On 4 October 2011, the U.S. State Department listed al-Baghdadi as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist and announced a reward of up to US$10 million for information leading to his capture or death.[14][15] Only the leader of al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, has a larger reward offered for his capture or death (US$25 million).[16] The United States has also accused al-Baghdadi of kidnapping, enslaving, and repeatedly raping an American citizen who was later killed.[17]
Over time, there have been a number of reports of Al-Baghdadi’s death or injury; however, none has been verified.
Abd al-Rahman Mustafa al-Qaduli (Arabic: عبد الرحمن مصطفى القادولي), alternatively known as Abu Ala al-Afri (أبو علاء العفري), was the Deputy leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. It is believed he ascended to this position following unconfirmed reports of current leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi being severely injured by an airstrike, leaving him unable to retain direct leadership of the group.[1]
On May 5, 2015, the U.S. State Department announced a reward of up to US$7 million for information leading to al-Afri’s capture or death.[3]
The Iraqi Ministry of Defense reported that Abu Ala al-Afri had been killed in a US-led coalition airstrike in Tel Afar, on May 12, 2015, along with dozens of other ISIL militants that were present.[4] US Spokesmen were unable to corroborate the reports, with some unnamed officials expressing skepticism of the Iraqi claims
Abu Muhammad al-Adnani al-Shami (Arabic: أبو محمد العدناني. born 1977 or 1978), whose original name is Taha Subhi Falaha (طه صبحي فلاحة), is the official spokesperson and a senior leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, and its primary conduit for communicating official messages.[5][6] He is also the emir of ISIL in Syria.[3] The U.S. State DepartmentRewards for Justice Program announced a reward up to US$5 million for information leading to his capture on May 5, 2015.[2][7] On January 4, 2016, Abu Mohammad al-Adani was reportedly severely injured by an Iraqi airstrike on Barwana, near Hit, Iraq. It was reported that he had lost a large amount of blood and had been moved to Mosul for recovery
Tarkhan Tayumurazovich Batirashvili (Georgian: თარხან ბათირაშვილი; January 11, 1986), known by his nom de guerreAbu Omar al-Shishani (Arabic: أبو عمر الشيشاني, Abū ‘Umar ash-Shīshānī , “Abu Omar the Chechen”)[8] or Omar al-Shishani, is a GeorgianKist jihadist who currently serves as a commander for the Islamic State in Syria, and a former sergeant in the Georgian Army.[8]
In May 2013, Batirashvili was appointed northern commander for ISIL, with authority over ISIL’s military operations and ISIL’s forces in northern Syria, specifically Aleppo, al-Raqqah, Latakia, and northern Idlib Provinces. As of late 2013, he was the ISIL amir (leader) for northern Syria and was located in and around Aleppo Province. He was also in charge of fighters from Chechnya and elsewhere in the Caucasus.[9] Units under his command have participated in major assaults on Syrian military bases in and around Aleppo, including the capture of Menagh Airbase in August 2013.[3] He is considered “one of the most influential military leaders of the Syrian opposition forces”.[2] As of mid-2014, Batirashvili was a senior ISIL commander and Shura Council member based in al-Raqqah, Syria.[9]
The Islamic State group has executed what is believed to be the first female citizen journalist for reporting inside its territory, Syrian activists reported.
Ruqia Hassan, 30, wrote about daily life in Raqqa, IS’s Syrian stronghold and the frequent target of coalition airstrikes against the group. Her frequent Facebook posts appeared under the pen name Nissan Ibrahim.
The exact date of Hassan’s execution is unknown, but her presence on social media stopped abruptly in July 2015.
News of her death was confirmed this week by Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently (RBSS), a group exposing human rights abuses from within Syria.
RBSS founder Abu Mohammed tweeted Hassan’s last known message:
“I’m in Raqqa and I received death threats, and when #ISIS [arrests] me and kills me it’s ok because they will cut my head and I have dignity its better than I live in humiliation with #ISIS.”
Hassan was an independent reporter who studied philosophy at Aleppo University and joined the opposition to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government when the revolution began in Raqqa.
After IS entered the city, she refused to leave and began reporting on the human rights abuses occurring there.

ISIS Militants Strap Bomb on 4 Year-Old Boy and Blow Him Up after Killing the Child’s Father
ISIS strapped a bomb to a four year-old child and blew him up a week after executing the boy’s father in the Al-Shirqat district.
In yet another heinous crime committed by the ISIS terror organization, the group has blown up a four-year-old child just one week after executing the child’s father.
Speaking to Alsumaria News, a senior official in the Iraqi national organization the Popular Mobilization Forces, Jabar el-Maamouri, said ISIS exploded “a bomb that was attached to a four-year-old child through a remote-controlled device so that his organs would be blown apart. ISIS executed the boy’s father a week ago who they accused of participating in an attack on one their outposts a month ago that killed two ISIS gunmen.”
The killings took place in the Al-Shirqat district north of Salah ad Din province.
El-Maamouri called human rights organizations to “document the crimes of ISIS and to publicize the incident to the international community to condemn its funders and supporters with money and words.”
ISIS has controlled the Al-Shirqat district since June, 2014. The area is considered to be one of the organization’s strongholds.
Elsewhere in Iraq, a local source in Nineveh province who asked to remain anonymous told Alsumaria News that the ISIS wiped out a village after its residents rebelled against the group.
“ISIS executed dozens of civilians including old people, women and children in the village of Al-Choud in area of Al-Keraya (85 kilometers south of Nineveh),” he said. a week after executing the boys father.
Siddhartha Dhar, also known as Abu Rumaysah, is thought to be the new man behind the mask fronting threats to the UK from inside Syria.

Unlike the man he appears to have replaced – Briton Mohammed Emwazi, dubbed “Jihadi John” – Mr Rumaysah was a well-known and prolific figure among radical Islamists in London.
He disappeared in September 2014, shortly after being released on bail while under investigation for allegedly encouraging terrorism.
Police banned him from travelling and ordered him to hand in his passport. However, he boarded a coach for Paris at London’s Victoria Station, along with his wife and children.
Weeks later, he announced his arrival in Syria by posting an image online of himself holding a rifle, and his newborn and fourth child.
“What a shoddy security system Britain must have to allow me to breeze through Europe to [IS],” he tweeted.
Mr Rumaysah, who is in his early 30s, was born and raised in the UK in a Hindu family – his original name is Siddhartha Dhar.
Following his conversion, he became a leading member and speaker for the al-Muhajiroun network, a group banned under terrorism legislation.
He would regularly attend demonstrations against the US, Israel, Arab regimes or any other cause the group believed to be un-Islamic.
He would stand outside mosques on Friday afternoons, seeking to find new followers to the radical network’s way of thinking. He would post videos online and rarely turned down an opportunity to speak to the media.
And when he spoke he barely hid his radical views.
When so-called Islamic State claimed to have destroyed the border between Iraq and Syria in 2014, he believed it was the moment a new Islamic regime worthy of global support had been born.
“The caliphate [a state governed in accordance with Islamic law, or Sharia] is a dream for all Muslims worldwide,” he said in one of his YouTube videos.
“We can finally have a sanctuary where we can practice our religion and live under the Sharia. It is a big, big thing.”
In an appearance on the BBC’s Sunday Morning Live programme, he expanded on these views.
“Now that we have this caliphate I think you’ll see many Muslims globally seeing it as an opportunity for the Koran to be realised,” he said.
“As a Muslim I would like to see the UK governed by the Sharia. It is far superior to democracy. I don’t really identify myself with British values. I am Muslim first, second and last.”
‘Travel guide’
In 2014, Mr Rumaysah was asked by a TV journalist whether he would condemn the killing of US journalist James Foley by IS.
—————————————
‘Save Steven Sotloff’ by Abu Rumaysah on Channel 4
—————————————
He refused to answer the question – saying only that he condemned US airstrikes killing Muslims in the “caliphate”.
In May 2015, he “published” a sort of travel guide for would-be fellow travellers.
The 40-page document, which opens with an image of a fictional battle on the edge of Jerusalem, is designed to encourage Muslims to stop procrastinating and join what Mr Rumaysah claims are the swelling ranks of Islamic State.
Most of the rest of the booklet is devoted to the kind of information that features in a standard travel guide: food, weather and transport.
“If you thought London or New York was cosmopolitan, then wait until you step foot in the Islamic State because it screams diversity,” he wrote.
“In my short time here I have met people from absolutely every walk of life, proof that the caliphate’s pulling power is strong and tenacious.”
He glossed over public executions, rape of women held as slaves and other punishments meted out to anyone who does not adhere to the fighting group’s ideology.
The ISIS militants have reportedly abducted nearly 80 teachers in Iraq’s northern province of Nineveh after the instructors refused to promote the group’s heavily-distorted interpretations of religious principles in areas under their control.
A provincial source, speaking on condition of anonymity said on Sunday that Daesh extremists kidnapped 78 educators across the province after they rejected Daesh self-proclaimed education body and its radical curriculum.
The source added that Daesh curriculum teaches children lessons on how to execute hostages, booby-trap buildingsand carry out bomb attacks and other acts of terror.
On April 12, 2015, Daesh extremists stormed a number of schools in al-Qayyarah, al-Shura, Badoush and al-Baaj neighborhoods of the troubled northern Iraqi city of Mosul, located some 400 kilometers (248 miles) north of the capital, Baghdad, and kidnapped nearly 120 schoolchildren.
Sheikh Khalid Awad al-Shabani, a tribal leader in the western Iraqi province of Anbar, said last July that the Takfiri group is actively trying to lure local children into its ranks as would-be bombers. He added that the terrorist group had set up training camps for children in the Syrian province of Raqqah and the district of Heet in Iraq’s Anbar.
The tribal leader also said that the terrorist group brainwashes children in the camps and trains them how to conduct bomb attacks against military checkpoints and civilians.
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said in June that the Takfiri group “conducts organized recruitment for children in 100 countries,” adding that the “exploitation of children for murder is a heinous crime.”
Daesh launched an offensive in Iraq in June last year and took control of Mosul, the country’s second-largest city, before sweeping through parts of the country’s heartland.
The terrorists have committed heinous crimes and threatened all communities, including Shias, Sunnis, Kurds and Christians, during their advances in Iraq.
Iraqi soldiers, police units, Kurdish forces, fighters from Popular Mobilization Units and Sunni tribesmen have been engaged in joint operations to drive the terrorists out of the areas they have seized.
Islamic State’s medieval Brutality in the 21st century
It’s only right that the country should debate the consequences of the decision to step up our role in the mess that is Syria/Iraq and the insane actions of IS and other global Islamic extremists.
Regardless of where you stand on the issues in question ( and there are many , both political and ethical ) spare a thought for the UK pilots ( and all pilots & other personnel) whom are now pawns in this new kind of war and will be flying over enemy territory as they take the fight to IS and their deluded followers.
How can anyone forget the brutal execution of Jordanian pilot Muath Al-Kasasbeh , burnt alive in a cage after a demonic stage show that saw him make his past masked IS fighters lining the route to the cage that would be his final destination and brutal execution.
Anyone unfortunate enough to fall into the hands of IS should be in no doubt that they face a brutal and possible prolonged and excruciating death.
For IS are an enemy that love to shock and terrorise and they have no boundaries or humanity when dealing with captured enemies or those unfortunate enough to live under their savage rule.
For this is unlike any other war that has gone before and all normal rules of engagement are redundant against the mad men of IS and their twisted ideology.
Unfortunately the mercy of a bullet as a form of execution is seldom available to those facing death at the hands of these Islamic demons.

The daily treatment and executions of innocent people in Raqqa and Mosul are testament to ISIS,s total disregard for the sanctity of life and global opinion.
Their brutal beheadings and other forms of public executions have almost lost their power to shock and sadly these gruesome acts dominate News headlines and social media and the world has instant access to the almost daily sick propaganda of these murdering psychopathic madmen .
Islamic State practice medieval brutality in front of a shocked worldwide stage and all right minded people have been shocked and outraged at the depths of their inhuman cruelty
Theirs is a war without rules or a political masters and the only outcome they expect is total victory or martyrdom. This is a new era in international terrorism and the world has to unite to destroy these mad men and their sick, twisted ideology.

Below is a brief summary of some of the most barbaric and medieval executions that Islamic State have carried out. I have not included video’s or beheadings as it is not my aim to promote the acts of these mad men and to be honest I can’t watch people being killed in the most brutal fashion and sleep peacefully in my bed.
The few executions I have watched have hunted my soul and I can’t get the images out of my mind for days and weeks afterwards. Even compiling this list made me feel physically sick , but I wanted to catalogue some of the insane actions of these psychopath’s that are a stain on humanity.
