British-born Muslim doctor led Syrian Islamic terror cell that took British journalist hostage

3

The jihadists who tried to blow up Glasgow airport were doctors, too. It doesn't
matter much what profession, social status, country of origin when Muslims get devout and go jihad. And worse still, Obama is backing these jihadists in Syria. Don't expect the enemedia to report that, they are still gushing over the "Arab spring" in Tahrir Square.

"NHS doctor led Syrian terror cell that took British journalist hostage" Daily Mail, August 25, 2120 (thanks to David)

  • British-born
    doctor was senior member of heavily-armed militant gang that held two
    photographers captive at a camp in war-torn Syria
  • Medic told captive John Cantlie he took leave from his post at a leading London hospital to wage 'holy war'
  • Extremist – who has a wife and child in Britain – intends to return to a job in the NHS when he leaves Syria

An NHS doctor on leave from a London
hospital was part of a heavily-armed extremist gang who took a British
journalist hostage in war-torn Syria.

The
Kalashnikov-toting doctor – believed to be around 28 – told
photographer John Cantlie he had taken a sabbatical from his medical
work to come to Syria and fight a 'holy war'.

The
bearded medic, who spoke with a south London accent and said he had a
wife and a child back in the UK, told the captive photographer he
intended to return to an NHS job in Britain after his time in Syria.

Captive: John Cantlie, who was shot in the arm when he tried to escape the camp in Syria, said his British-born captor planned to return to a role in the NHS

Mr Cantlie, 41, was captured
along with Dutch colleague Jeroen Oerlemans while they were in the
country to report on the civil war between President Assad's army and
rebel fighters.

The mystery
doctor, who kept his face covered with sunglasses and a scarf, was one
of around a dozen British militants who held the two journalists
prisoner at a camp inside the Syrian border last month.

'It
was a bit of a surprise to find an NHS doctor as one of our captors –
with an AK-47 and preaching Sharia law,' Mr Cantlie told the Sun
newspaper.

'When we asked his name he said: "Just call me the doctor. I'm the only one here."'

The hostages were handcuffed, blindfolded and kept under armed guard in a terrifying ordeal lasting seven days.

The extremist doctor told the
photographer his experiences in war-torn Syria would be good for his NHS
career, and that he intended to specialise in trauma medicine when he
returned to the UK.

'He
said he'd come here to "help people" – and yet he carried a gun at all
times and said he was also here for war,' Mr Cantlie said.

Destruction: Mr Cantlie and a colleague were held captive at a camp two miles inside the border of Syria - the scene of deadly clashes between rebel fighters and President Assad's army

He said his captor – who was
equipped with gauzes, medicines, IV drips and other medical equipment at
the camp two miles inside the Syrian border – even complained about NHS
waiting lists, saying the service was good for emergency patients, but less so for those left waiting for routine operations.

The photographer also described hearing the unidentified doctor making phone calls home to his wife and child back in Britain.

When the journalists tried to flee
the camp on their second day in captivity, a British militant was among
those who opened fire on the pair to thwart their escape attempt.

Mr
Cantlie was shot in the arm and Mr Oerlemans through the leg – and it
was the NHS doctor who treated their injuries; administering antibiotics
and saline drips, and stitching up the wounds.

But
the medic's merciless views were evident when the planned executions of
two Syrian prisoners at the camp were called off after they repented
and pledged to follow Sharia law.

'The
doc seemed annoyed. He said they should have been beheaded because they
were spies,' said Mr Cantlie, who now has only limited movement in his
left hand as a result of his injuries.

Reason #87 for why you should never have a Muslim doctor; also reason #92 for why we should never let Muslims into our country! No one should be surprised by any of this; that is how Muslims roll! It’s what they do.
