Germany: Female Convert Muslims And Suicide Attacks

We reported in November last year that a Belgian woman had converted to Islam and gone to Iraq, where she had blown herself up. On December 1 it was revealed that she had been a 38-year old named Muriel Degauque. A citizen of Monceau-sur-Sambret near Charleroi, her marriage to two Muslim men in succession had led her to become a convert. Her second husband, a Belgian of Moroccan descent, went with her to Iraq, where is believed to have died setting up a bomb.

Now, the news from Der Spiegel is that a group of women have been apprehended, apparently on their way to blow up themselves and a few innocents for Allah. At least one of these women is a convert to Islam.

There were three women, according to intelligence sources, who are close to the Islamist scene in Germany. They were preparing to go to Iraq, but one of them had boasted on the internet she she intended to go to Iraq where she would blow up not only herself, but her child.

This web announcement led to a hunt for the three women. One came from Berlin, and the other two were from south Germany. The woman from Berlin has been placed in a psychiatric clinic, and her child has been taken by authorities. The other two, one of whom also has a child, have been prevented from leaving the country.

Apparently the women are linked to Ansar al Islam, one of the groups proscribed in Britain last October. Ansar al Islam was founded by Mullah Krekar in September 2001, and is Kurdish Iraqi. It has slaughtered women for not dressing Islamically, and since 2003 has been involved with several suicide bombings.

Der Spiegel states that authorities have been worried for a while that Islamists are recruiting young Muslims with German passports for suicide attacks in Iraq.

The phenomenon of converts to Islam becoming suicide attackers is equally worrying. If they do not change their name to some Arabic monicker, as was the case with Jermaine Lindsay, who was one of the suicide attackers of 7th July in London last year, they can easily escape suspicion.

Muriel Degauque was the first European convert suicide bomber. It appears that she will not be the last.

The only positive thing to come out of this is the removing of the woman's child and placing her in psychiatric care. If converts really understood from the Hadiths how violent and warmongering the prophet of Islam is when they sign up to their new faith, perhaps more of these too should be subjected to psychiatric assessment.
