'Friends of Burke' fundraising for the ISIS brides
Feb 17^th, 2026 at 6:22pm

The federal government isn't providing ANY assistance though.

Supposedly Jamal Rifi had a secret meeting with Tony Burke.

My opinion is they should be left in those camps without Australian citizenship. If they want to obtain a passport, they should apply to the caliphate they CHOSE to go and join.

ISIS brides: Leading Muslim Sydney doctor Jamal Rifi believed to be in Syria coordinating return

Security officials believe a prominent and well-respected figure in Australia’s Muslim community is co-ordinating the latest repatriation of so-called ISIS brides from Syria to Australia.

THE NIGHTLY

Security officials believe a prominent and well-respected figure in Sydney’s Muslim community is co-ordinating the latest repatriation of so-called ISIS brides from Syria to Australia.

The Nightly has been told Doctor Jamal Rifi, who in 2024 praised Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke for doing a “great deal” for the community in his Western Sydney electorate, has travelled to the Middle East after arranging passports for the Australian families.

Israel's troops shoot to kill in the West Bank and there's no comment. That would be antisemitic which is prohibited.

Yes, the outrage is at ISIS behaviour. By comparison, Israel also kills without cause for ideology. Herzog is an honoured guest, ISIS are condemned. So you don't want to even think on it.

ISIS was destroying Iraq and Israel says it's destroying Palestine.
'Israel's far-right finance minister plans to approve thousands of illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank saying it buries the idea of a Palestinian state.'

These people moved to the caliphate before the Gaza Israel conflict. It is totally unrelated.

It’s interesting how Albo has changed from his previous “ secret “ support and funding of the previous Isis brides after how poorly himself and Penny Wong in particular looked to the average voter when it was finally revealed by the media.

A question I ask, if you are a child born overseas to a Australian mother who was born overseas and has absolutely abandoned Australia to join one of history most evil people is that child actually an Australian and deserves Australia support simply because the evil army there mother joined lost the war that they started?

I'm waiting for the Muslim candidates to stand in his seat.... that should be a laugh.

The 'leaders' have already declared that they will not accept NSW Police telling them what to do... that sounds a pretty serious step towards declaring open intifada and independence for Bankistan Province etc - 'from the Georges River to the sea - Bankistan will be free' .... and we all know that for various reasons the 'Muslim community' will stand as one... and they have a history of voting for the SOTE ... the Scum Of The Earth .....

How, Now, Albow? And all those successive governments that brought this to our shores?

Footnote:- Social Cohesion, innit?

The Syrians had these ISIS members in jails.

Will AnAl throw them in jail here or give them a get out of jail free card for crimes against humanity?

Syrians jailed these people AnAl and Labor will free them give them priority housing with taxpayer funded government homes then give them Centrelink so they don't have to work.

Labor are letting these islamic state people come here less than 2 months after Islamic state members killed 15 at Bonid in our worst ever terrorist attack.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

... and they will be treated as 'honoured widows etc of heroic jihadis who died for Allah' and have gifts showered upon them..... all needs taken care of ... think of their reception at Sydney U etc!!! ..... and what do you think that will create of their children?

Footnote:- the Bondi Assassin is already complaining that the digs are not up to the standard he thinks he should receive as a heroic jihadi ... he should be forced to live on prison food for life in a small cell - many in the Yard would likely not be happy with him ....

Snide Note:- truly the West has clutched the viper to its breast ....
