First the brides, next the fighters and all along a deadly pandering to the violently intolerant by a sleazy Labor government whose only moral compass is counting the electoral beans as they divide and rule an Australia collapsing into mutually hostile tribalism.
Imprisoned Australian men suspected of being ISIS fighters could be freed from an Iraqi jail under renewed efforts to deport members deemed “non-combatants” of the terrorist group.
It truly takes a government to square the square peg of ‘fighters’ with the round hole of ‘non-combatants’.
The Australian can reveal that some of the 13 Australians held in Baghdad’s notorious prison system are being interviewed by officials from the United States and Iraq as part of an international push in “achieving justice” for those who didn’t engage in combat.
Oh, well, that makes it all right, then. They didn’t join in the fighting... they went along for the sex-slavery and public executions. Frankly, shoving these bastards into the Black Hole of Baghdad is pretty apt justice.
And who wants to take bets on how long it will be before the Albanese government bends over backwards to import these swivel-eyed fanatics right back to Western Sydney?
It can also be revealed that Penny Wong’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has had dialogue with Yusuf Zahab’s family, and are believed to have visited him in jail.
Labor swore black and blue it wouldn’t repatriate the ISIS brides either. Now they’re here, courtesy of the taxpayer, complete with their brood of future problems. The pattern is as obvious as it is obscene. First the camp followers, now the muscle. All while Albanese’s mob lectures the rest of us about ‘social cohesion’ and wrings its hands over Bondi.
Peter Galbraith, a former US diplomat known for helping enslaved Yazidi women, cut through the nonsense.
“I’m sceptical that there are men who aren’t linked to combat and to the crimes of ISIS. I’ve talked to various men in the prisons of the Syrian Kurds and it’s amazing, they were all drivers or cooks or whatever ... I mean of course they weren’t,” Mr Galbraith said.
“The notion that some put forward that there were not combatants, I don’t think that’s true.
“To my mind. they are also implicated in the crimes of ISIS and the genocide against the Yazidis. I know at least several of these Australian men had Yazidi slaves (and) raped them.”
“In my view, people should be tried where the crimes were committed. Why is it that just because you’re Australian you get to come back and be in Australian prisons and have all the benefits of that?”
Exactly. These are not wayward youths who took a wrong turn at the falafel stand. They’re adults who chose the black flag, the caliphate’s cocktail of slavery, beheadings and rape. Many spent years marinated in that mediaeval savagery. Bringing them back isn’t compassion: it’s importing tomorrow’s security headache. Spare us the sob stories about prison conditions. The Yazidi girls they enslaved didn’t get air-conditioned cells and three meals a day.
Human Rights Watch, naturally, wants them all repatriated for a nice fair Australian trial. Where were these champions of humanity when ISIS was running its rape markets and throwing gays off rooftops? Selective outrage is their stock in trade.
A government spokesperson said Labor would not be repatriating people from Iraq. Pull the other one, it plays the call to prayer. They said the same thing about the brides. Now here we are. The electoral math in Western Sydney is clear and Labor has never let principle get in the way of a preference whisper.
This isn’t isolated incompetence. It’s part of the broader collapse into tribalism that Labor’s migration and multiculturalism policies have accelerated. Import incompatible values, ignore the warnings and then act shocked when the social contract frays. The same crowd that hyperventilates about ‘far-right extremism’ bends over backwards for those who cheered the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.
Australia doesn’t owe these people a thing. They renounced this country for the caliphate. Let them face justice where their crimes were committed. If Iraq wants to release the “non-combatants”, that’s Baghdad’s business. Our business is not turning our suburbs into sleeper cells.
The brides were just the start. The fighters are next.
