Matthew 24:10,11 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
A former model and DJ from Australia that no one knew was fighting for the terrorist group ISIS in Syria has been killed.
The parents of Sharky Jama were informed of their son’s death via text message on Monday according to the Somali Australian Council of Victoria.
Hussein Harakow of the SACV told CNN that Jama had disappeared in August of last year with a former business student named Yusuf Yusuf. He had been living in the city of Falluja. Despite making pro-ISIS comments on social media, his family had no idea he was fighting on the front lines with the terrorists.
“He never explained what’s happening over there or what he’s doing,” Harakow told CNN. “The family lived a simple life. They never discussed these sorts of things.”
The news of the young man’s death comes as Australian leaders are expressing concerns about radicalized residents returning from the Middle East. Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott addressed the media after the reports of Jama’s death.
“I have a very simple message for those who might be thinking of going overseas to join these terrorist groups: Don’t,” he said. “They are death cults. … They are not about religion, they are just about death, and it’s just as likely to be your death as anyone else’s death.”
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said that as many as 90 Australians were fighting with ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
