Two NUI Galway medical students died fighting for Islamic State
By GBFM News -27 October 2019

Galway Bay fm newsroom – It’s been revealed that two students studying medicine at NUI Galway died fighting for Islamic State in Syria and Iraq.

According to the Sunday Times, the two trainee doctors travelled together on the same bus from Galway to Dublin in September 2013 on the way to join the Jihadist group.

Mustapha al-Hayani, a graduate of NUI Galway’s medical programme, and Tariq Mohainuteen, a visiting Malaysian student, are believed to have become radicalised while in Galway

Really we need to ask questions why are we educating other countries doctors.
Are we getting the correct student doctor calibre in?
What is happening to Irish Doctors and medical students?
These are the real issues.

Donald Trump

You'd fit a fair few explosive vests under an oul' Macnas costume if you were so inclined.

Tot he poster above - why are we educating other country's doctors? We aren't. We're educating doctors that have no obligation to work in Ireland regardless of whether they are born in Bahrain or Ballina.

Why are we accepting foreign medical students? They subsidize the Irish ones' education by paying full whack and more.

The colleges get a lot of money from foreign students. The Irish doctors go off abroad to work in less crowded hospitals. Can't blame them for that but imo we shouldn't be paying for their education unless we get some use out of them.

Not certain but I think the medical schools do it because like alot of things in Ireland they are run on the cheap (as regards govt. funding), and need the massive non EU student fees paid by rich arabs and the like. Before they can educate doctors for Ireland (should be their primary purpose IMO), they need money to keep running.

And to think the people of outerard ,Achill and borrisokane are being told not to worry about the young economic migrants being dumped on them

Without those fees we probably couldn’t educate our own doctors.

Non-EU students are a massive cash cow to Irish Universities.

We are educating at great expense and drain to Irish society Doctors who have no obligation to the Irish State. We have our our students busing themselves to hit 560 points while we are taking in student doctors whose fathers thought it would be a good idea for them to be doctors. My own GP hates his job. I see it everyday in his face. Dont believe me? The Surgery is ALWAYS empty before and after I leave and he always keeps me for a chat. Every other surgery in the town is bustling.

We did before and we can again. Its the same as the Irish Bloodstock industry. We are exporting the best and getting in ...... well the courts and legal settlements speak for themselves.

The Doctors/Int'l Uni fees thing really is a seperate issue. Many Uni's make a fortune from Chinese & Indian folks, who do well and end up even outperforming the natives.

The quote from the OP states: "become radicalised while in Galway"
Thus, they may not have arrived with bad intentions, maybe the future City of Culture put too much (bad) culture upon them?

Guess the same could be said for Dundalk, after a similar incident (home grown radicalisation) landed an Irish lady in a pickle, abroad.
It's no good having a bouncer at the door, if already inside the club, very bad hombres are leading people astray, unnoticed.

Yes, as you said Irish students have to "bust" themselves/be in the top 1 % academically for the rationed places. The country is also quite short of doctors now and has tried desperately to lure them from the 3rd world.

It is a stupid false economy by the government, we are not a poor country any more. We can afford to educate our own doctors and lock foreigners (edit: certainly non EU foreigners) out of medical education here unless there's a few places left over or something after our own needs are filled...<gets down off hobby horse, sorry thread is supposed to be about ISIS Galway Branch or something!>

unfortunately you can now be "radicalised" any where on earth at any time of the day given an open mind and an open internet connection.

In reality, chances are actually as with the case with LisaS, that they attended venues and rmeetings, whereby they were 'persuaded and pressured' into a crazy ideology and belief system in a 'direct person-to-person' method.

If you want to teach a cat how to play lol piano, or how to lay laminate flooring, then yes, sure uTube is handy for that.
Highly Unlikely it alters mindsets of inteligent capable individuals after a bit of browsing.

And thinking such, only highlights the ignorance surrounding the issue.

Sir Oxman

So, they'e dead.
That's not the story IMO.
Is there any focus on how/who radicalised them especially if within the country?

I don't think the full details of Smith's radicalisation are known (or made public anyway) but the main link seems to with a US citizen, John Gorgelas, aka, Yahya al-Bahrumi, who she met online before travelling to see him in Turkey (I think). Plenty of radicalisation takes place online. As, I am sure, plenty happens directly.

The "radicals" use Ireland as a handy platform with the Common Travel Area with the UK. Wonder if it's only my town that has a few "Indian" takeaways that do no business but stay open nonetheless.

Not aware of local knowledge. Is this conversion or radicalisation?

Dept of Justice would probably try and bring them back to Ireland if they weren’t dead.

Knowing the DoFA that isnt ruled out yet. Is the Government jet available or is the MATS still up on cinder blocks?

Lisa Smith, a former member of the Irish Defence Forces who converted to Islam, told journalists from a refugee camp in northern Syria that she knew of an Isis member from Galway in Raqqa.


The man, who is reported to have held an important position in the terror group, is believed to have been influential in the radicalisation of the two younger students.

It's mad that people are now getting radicalised in Ireland. If these two fellas were normal when they left home, then they didn't became Islamic extremists until they moved to a Christian country!

SporadicMan

Crazy, imagine these two lads graduated and were giving medical advice / operating on your Mam.

Who knows, on a bad day when they were particularly angry at the non-believers, we could've had some Irish victims quietly being done in by poor medical assistance.

I'm sure you are right it is more likely if there's a face to face element (real life contacts involved), but there have (I think) been instances of people being drawn into this via online channels.

The web has been "2.0" for quite a while.
No expert but I imagine the process would not be just passive consuming, rather 2 way communications with likeminded individuals, seeking out the darker bits of the internet that you won't ever touch while just "browsing".
