Mohammed Uddin, a security guard living in the United Kingdom, decided one day to travel to Syria to join ISIS (the Islamic States, IS, ISIL, Daesh, etc.).
So he did.
But not very long after showing up, pledging allegiance and doing terrorist things he started to develop a few strong, specific opinions about the Islamic extremist, militant lifestyle.
He HATED the “cold water”. Loathed the “bland food”. And he couldn’t stand doing “absolutely jack”. So, he returned home, back to Great Britain.
On Wednesday the 29-year-old prima donna was sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court to seven years in prison for preparing acts of terrorism.
Uddin once referred to himself as “Supaman”. No joke.
He arrived in Syria on November 4.
This from the Daily Mail:
On December 12, he crossed the border back into Turkey where he was held by the authorities because he did not have any travel documents.
He was stopped by counter terrorism officers at Gatwick Airport when he returned to Britain on December 22, who believed he was involved in terrorist-related activity and found extremist material in his possession.
Uddin, who had earlier boasted it was “p*** easy” to cross the border from Turkey into Syria, quickly became disillusioned with life in the Middle East.
He was in touch with a friend in Britain who had been ready to join him when police raided his home in Bedford.
Less than two weeks after he left Britain, Uddin messaged his friend saying: “Lol bro, it’s soo easy to get in man, especially during the day, alhamdulillah, we walked in, no running bro. Don’t worry inshallah, don’t stress about getting in here. It’s p*** easy [sic]”.
Right before he decided to join ISIS Uddin was living with his parents and family in Ilford, estranged from his wife who was pregnant with their child.
