Tuesday, 2 September 2014 A Scottish-born private schoolgirl who travelled to Syria has joined Islamist militants there and urged Muslims in Britain to bring the “battlefield” home, the British Daily Mail newspaper reported Monday.
The case of Glasgow-born Aqsa Mahmood, 20, surfaced as Prime Minister David Cameron announced plans to give police more powers to curb the rising phenomena of Britons joining militants in the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.
The British daily said Police Scotland and security services confirmed they were aware of the case of Mahmood, who in 2013 abandoned a university course to join militants fighting in Syria.
Since leaving to Syria, Mahmood has got married and been tweeting on a variety of subjects including descriptions of her routine life of cooking, cleaning and looking after children.
Her tweets also contain radical messages, including a call for others to copy the September 2014 murder of British soldier Lee Rigby, the April 2013 Boston Marathon bombing in the United States and the deadly April 2014 shooting at the Fort Hood U.S. Army base in Texas.
“Follow the example of your Brothers from Woolwich, Texas and Boston etc. Have no fear as Allah swt is always with the Believers,” Mahmood, who tweets under the name Umm Layth, says in one tweet.

“Jihad is not limited to Shaam [Syria], Khurasan, East Africa, Yemen etc. It is a worldwide battle against Kufr [infidels],” Mahmood, whose profile carries a picture of the black flag of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), says in another tweet dated June 27.
“If you cannot make it to the battlefield, then bring the battlefield to yourself,” Mahmood says in another tweet on that date.
If you cannot make it to the battlefield then bring the battlefield to yourself. Be sincere and be a Mujahid wherever you may be.
— ام ليث (@UmmLayth_) June 27, 2014 About 500 British citizens are believed to have gone to Syria to join militant groups such as ISIS and the recent execution of U.S. journalist James Foley at the hands of suspected to be a Britain-born ISIS militant has increased pressure on London to do more to protect the country.
The Daily Mail said Mahmood’s family and friends were stunned about her involvement in radical Islam.
Her father moved from Pakistan to Scotland where he built up thriving businesses, the paper said.
Mahmood studied at the exclusive Craigholme School where friends remembered her as a Westernized girl who loved make-up and clothes and liked to gossip with fellow pupils, the daily said.
Her most recent tweet dated Aug. 26 reads: “Read up on how many people reverted to Islam after 9/11. You can plot and plan but you will never extinguish the Light of Islam.”

I do have to wonder how long it will take her to find out there is no freedom in Islam like she grew up with. Unless she keeps her value as a propaganda tool, she’ll be raped and stoned (not the marijuana kind), and we will hear no more of her.
The death cult has a strange attraction for self-loathing pieces of $h!t.
A “jihad bride”.Imagine how many drug resistant strains of syphilis,gonorrhea and other STDs she’ll be harboring within days of her arrival.And imagine how quickly she’ll be beheaded when the jihadis start itching and dripping after having sought “comfort” from her.
Which is exactly what the liberals want to happen here.
"Whatever happened to going to the mall with your friends and having your nails done?"
This definitely happens and is something we need to address as a society.
Frankly, even though they are dim-witted, you can understand where the kinds are coming from.
No one looking for guidance growing up wants to follow people who say “I don’t know” or “Well, whatever, nothing really matters.”
Christianity, Traditional American values, are not very prevalent in our culture at all anymore even if individual families or parents are proponents of both. As a whole, our culture and daily lives are rather bland and uninspiring.
Well said!
Has she had FGM yet?
She can’t be a true muzzie fundamentalist unless she has her clitoris cut off with a dull razor blade first.
There is NO British legal system, as Britain and England aren’t the same, Mr Wilders.
Sharia law (which I oppose/opposed) exists in five English cities, and is a civil law, legally subordinate to English law.
Not really surprising. Muslims know their religion isn’t peaceful but while living in the west they lie to westerners that it is.
Also, the difference between Christianity and islam is salvation thru Jesus gets one into heaven while islam teaches jihad gets one into heaven being a muslim doesn’t guarantee going to heaven for the muslim.
This is what drives western muslims into jihad.
If ISIS was so tough, it would invade Iran to take over Islam.
