Irish ISIS member captured by Kurdish forces in Syria

BoJack Horseman

YPG media has announced in the last couple of hours, the capture of Dubliner & Irish citizen Alexandr Ruzmatovich Bekmirzaev (45)

I wonder will the Dept of Foreign Affairs be offering consular services?

He's not as good looking as the last poster boy ibrahim halawa!
So no, I'd say he's goosed!

Tom Mann Centuria

Whatever the merit, or lack of, the Dept. Of Foreign Affairs probably have some obligation to offer assistance don't they?

Indeed a good solid Irish name. Which of the Bekmirzaevs is he now?, originally down Letrim way were they?

The Kerry Bekmirzaevs I'd say, good with horses, powerful baritone voices.

VonZan

Delighted for him. Obviously the State did their job when offering this terrorist Irish citizenship...

TheValeyard

F*ck him. He went to fight for a barbaric medieval cult. He deserves whatever punishment the Kurds deal out.

Still waters

they were preparing to attack a convoy of civilians escaping a war zone, it begs the question why they didn't just put a bullet in him and send him to meet Mohammad

His photo is further proof that beards cause evil.

The Irish Citizenship test should require that the applicant be clean shaven and consume 6 pints of Guinness followed by a Full Irish with extra bacon, sausage and pudding.

Where's he from originally? Sounds a bit Chechen

I hope he took out travel inshurdance, lol.

I think its about time there is a distinction made between irish citizen and citizen of ireland

It's likely there, Dagastan or the Caucasus. I'd go with your guess, based mostly on the epic beard.

Let him off, live by the sword, die by the sword so to speak. Won’t lose sleep over him not coming home anyway

Reminds me of a radical Trigger from Only Fools and Horses.

Some crowd of faux Irish carrying Irish passports these days.

Apparently from bobruisk, belarus if it's the same person

The only 'service' they should be offering is that of revoking his Irish citizenship.

DanMurphy

Stick a Woodbine in the corner of his mouth, a Dublin GAA jersey on his back, give him a Banjo, sit him on a box, (and photograph him with the the GPO in the background) and he could be Irish. (I'm sure it could be photo-shopped)

Poor fella went home last year to visit his sick mama and got 'caught up' in a village fued.
We Irish understand fueds you see, so we can see how one can easily get 'caught up' in one?

If there's a few votes in it, some party will come forward to assist this misunderstood, father of six, 'freedom fighters' passage home.
Halawa's sisters could write him a letter( or fifty with those colored pencils) or the good folks who traced O' Bama's great-gran-pappy could pull the same stunt for this chap?

All in all, knowing us modern Irish, I think this chap will get back 'home' in one piece.

suicide_circus

he was probably just innocently coming out of the cinema

When will he be on the late late show.

Zappone, various Shinners and brain dead do-gooders will soon be campaigning to bring him home.

Giving it Alluah Akbar and all the rest of that bullsh1t at Dublin Airport again.

Hope he's killed.
Slowly.

I know this is after hours etc.....
but can we please stop acting a little less like a brexit supporting, Tommy Robinson **** circle....
This guy is obviously a ****in evil twat, but that does not equate with every naturalised Irish citizen or Muslim resident of ireland, or asylum seeker or refugee being a sub human terrorist....

Not one single post has suggested as such.

What it does prove though, is that all “background checks” achieve nothing. How did he manage to get an Irish passport?

I know it is early days, but obviously this guy has been naturalised, is the process flawed? Unless his name is Paddy O’Brien and he took a lovely peace loving name?

Leave him to the Kurds ,

Wonder if Aul vlaidi in Moscow will be demanding our government get involved to help him

Galwayguy35

Hopefully they will throw a rope around his neck and let him swing, but don't you know well the usual SJW's will be out crying about his human rights.

Whoever gave the c**t citizenship should be fired.

The only one to bring this up was you.

Says a lot about your own racist views!

If that loon lasted as long as he did he's bound to have participated in some barbaric acts.
He's hardly looking after kittens.

Most of those rebel's, daesh are snuffed out.
So this guy must have seen a lot of action on the battlefield....

The Russians kill combatants on sight, rightly so..
Execution wouldn't be a bad thing.

In fairness in your first post while done in a jokey fashion you essentially said no muslims, Jews, Sikhs, Buddhists or Hipsters should be allowed become Irish citizens.

Yer one ms cash is clearing 48k a year.

Leave him the face Kurdish justice.

We should do what the British have done if this **** has dual citizenship.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/jul/30/uk-has-stripped-150-jihadists-and-criminals-of-citizenship

More than 150 suspected jihadists and criminals have been stripped of their citizenship and banned from returning to the UK, it has been reported.

Ministers stepped up the “deprivation orders” amid fears that the collapse of Islamic State would lead to an influx of militants from Syria, according to the Sunday Times.

Quoting official figures and security sources, the newspaper said more than 40 suspects had their right to a passport removed this year, with about 30 targeted since March.

Do ye think our shower will do that? They're more likely to organise facepuke petitions to have him returned.

I don't see how he is.

Daesh fundamentalists like him are transnational and don't believe in the concept of countries or in the idea of the citizen. Leading me to believe that he got the passport as a means of convenience rather than any allegiance to Ireland at all.

I wasn’t being very serious. There has to be some question on the vetting of passports.

And we'll have to listen to RTE news every night saying "Irishman" Alexandr Ruzmatovich Bekmirzaev blah, blah, blah .... shot in the hand .... blah, blah, blah, ....now on hunger strike .... blah, blah, blah, .... not enough consular assistance .....

There's no comparison between the two cases at all.

In fact I'd love to hear why you think they are similar?

There's a really high chance its because of Russian combat policies that this guy was there in the first place, they aren't the people to be taking lessons from

Ah, you're right.
"Irishman" Alexandr Ruzmatovich Bekmirzaev doesn't have sisters in Ireland who show their appreciation to the country who got their brother freed by alleging unlawful discrimination by that same country, and then proceed to sue the state to get their Egyptian nationals husbands in Turkey into Ireland.

There should be some form of a one way gate when it comes to anyone of naturalised Irish citizenship entering the country again once they've been to a place like Syria.

Or maybe the Syrian's will do us a favour and just drag him outside and stick a bullet in the back of his head.

He wasn't there for any good reason, so f**k him.
