James Foley murder: British woman vows to become first female to behead western prisoner in Syria

TELEGRAPH

A female jihadist from London has vowed to become the first female to behead a western prisoner in Syria.

Khadijah Dare, who is originally from Lewisham in south east London, took to Twitter to celebrate the brutal murder of American journalist James Foley.

The 22-year-old mother of one, who moved to Syria in 2012 with her Swedish husband and Isil fighter, Abu Bakr, expressed her desire to carry out a similar execution.

Writing under the Twitter name Muhajirah fi Sham, which means ‘immigrant in Syria’, she posted a slang filled message that said: “Any links 4 da execution of da journalist plz. Allahu Akbar. UK must b shaking up ha ha. I wna b da 1st UK woman 2 kill a UK or US terorrist!(sic)”.

She recently sparked outrage when she posted a picture of her toddler son posing with an AK47 rifle.

Dare, who has urged other young women from London to join her in Syria, is thought to have converted to Islam in her mid-teens.

Earlier this year she wrote: “All da people back in Dar ul kufr [land of disbelievers] what are you waiting for ... hurry up and join da caravan to where the laws of Allah is implemented.

“No one from Lewisham has come here apart from an 18-year-old sister shame on all those people who afford fancy meals and clothes and do not make hirja [the word for Mohammad’s journey]. Shame on you.”

She is understood to have been a regular at the Lewisham Islamic Centre, which was linked to the killers of Drummer Lee Rigby. Dare later married a Turkish militant who she met in Sweden.

She has also used her Twitter account to delight in the execution of a Syrian man who had been accused of rape.

She wrote: “On da way 2 da market in Manbij [a town near Aleppo], me and sum sisters was wonderin wat da commotion was all about ... On da way back frm da market, we see da body of a young man, with blood coin his nose ... tied onto a tree.”

Responding to the news, Ribal Al-Assad, Director of the ODFS said:

"I am appalled to read of the sentiments expressed by this British woman; she is evidently proud of her desire for brutality and it is imperative that she is not given a chance to carry out her sick obsession.

I call on the British government to immediately take action against this individual and all those who are inciting hatred, violence and killing; she must be held to account for her crimes. The international community must also stop all those who are planning to travel to Syria to wage 'jihad', how can we ever feel safe again if the stream of people entering the country continues?

This case also highlights the need for an urgent solution to the conflict; we simply cannot allow these Islamists to run rampant through the region murdering and maiming all those who disagree with their perverted ideology."
