A Few French Jewish Converts To Islam Have Joined ISIS

According to an official in the French government, of the 1,000 or so known people that have traveled to Syria to join the Islamic State (ISIS) a few of them are allegedly Jews, including one of the 100 or so young females who have made their way over there.

Citing figures compiled by the French Interior Ministry, the official on Monday said intelligence shows there are people "of Jewish extraction," some of whom converted to Islam, among those who joined the jihadist group.

The official emphasized that there are only a small handful of Jews among the IS recruits – not enough to consider it a trend.

The revelation comes just days after reports surfaced that a French Jewish teenager was among the approximately 100 young women who have left France to join jihad in Syria during the past year and a half.

That is, if the information is true. However, some in the French Jewish community doubt it, claiming there is no proof.

Meyer Habib, a Jewish member of the French parliament, said the suspected jihadis were the topic of conversation among France's Jewish community. However, he claimed, there is no official proof they actually joined IS.

If a Jewish girl did join the Islamic State, "it really is the end of the world" and complicates matters, Habib told Channel 2.

A rabbi had this to say:

 "It is inconceivable that this would happen. There are many rumors swirling and we hope an official source will update us. Some say the Jewish girl converted, and that is also disconcerting."

Disconcerting, yes, but inconceivable?  No. There are many Jews who have unbelievably converted to Islam, but they do exist. Look at Joseph Cohen, now known as Yousef al-Khattab that Orthodox Jew who converted to Islam along with his wife and kids, and was a co-founder of the extremist Revolution Muslim.  There's even a jews-for-allah.org with a list of testimonies by Jewish converts to Islam. Google Jewish converts to Islam, or a search on Youtube, and you'll find a plethora of information and videos.

Jews For Allah?

I have known of Jews for Jesus for years, but Jews for Allah?  They have a sad looking website, unlike the slick-ish Jews for Jesus site.  And it's not quite the same thing.  Jews for Allah is just some information about Jews who have converted to Islam, including radical Yousef Al-Khattab, yes, that same Joseph Leonard Cohen of the now defunct Revolution Muslim (the website is now a parked domain), who went from one extreme- ultra-Orthodox Jew- to another, moved to Israel and then to the Arab part of Jerusalem.  The same yahoos who threatened the South Park folk for dressing Mohammed in a bear suit. His RevolutionIslam.com is also no longer accessible.

Although it is said that he eventually denounced RM:

Calling the RM Web site he helped launch a "bug light for Muslim misfits," and stating: "I regret anybody that would hurt an American civilian." In an audio message he posted to his Web site on December 1, 2010, he even expressed support for FBI efforts to apprehend "whoever [intends to] blowup civilians in the United States."

However, in a later posting to another online forum, al-Khattab explained that he would still support actions such as the Fort Hood shooting and that he still supports the notion of a "Mushroom Cloud Over Israel." He also continues to support replacing the U.S. Constitution with Sharia law and promotes the extremist ideologies of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), Hamas and Abdullah Azzam, Osama bin Laden's spiritual mentor.

He still has the same radical mindset.

Jews for Allah was, ironically, founded by an Egyptian Muslim, Mohammed Ghounem, whose "goal is to surpass Jews for Jesus", which he considers "100 percent inevitable."

JFA's mission statement, if you can call it that:

May the peace of Allah be upon you ,

I have a question . Ever heard of the group Jews for Jesus ? This is a Christian missionary group that seeks to convert the Jews to Christianity .

Jews for Jesus has been very successful , they've nearly 300,000 members worldwide ! That's impressive numbers considering there are only 16 million Jews on this planet.

If Christians are able to get Jews to believe in something that essentially amounts to Polytheism , why not then , Muslims invite Jews to advanced level Monotheism ?!?! I would think a Jew would pick a Monotheist religion over a tritheist one any day !

Therefore, Jews for Allah

To some the idea of a Jew being a Muslim seems to be a contradiction.

Many people have a dichotomy in their minds.

On the one hand, you have Jews and Judaism
and on the other hand, Muslims and Islam.

You are either one or the other... so they think.

In reality there is nothing more Jewish than becoming a Muslim.

For a Jew to become a Muslim is for him to turn to the
Elohim (Lord) of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses and King David.

Join our effort to re-unite the children of Abraham !

Like many other misguided Muslims, they believe that we are all born Muslim. And unlike Jews for Jesus that still retain some Jewish customs,  and still consider themselves Jews that now happen to also believe in Jesus, Jews for Allah are just converts to Islam.
