Former jihadi: Tania Georgelas Facebook

London, Nov. 9, 2017 (AltAfrika)-A Harrow woman who married a senior Isis figure said that the only reason she had children was to raise them to become killers.

Mother-of-four Tania Georgelas, 33, added that the racism she was subjected to as a Londoner led to her becoming radicalised.

She said: “I’ve had these children for one reason only, and that was so they could serve god as Muslims, as mujahideen.”

 In an interview with The Atlantic, she said she had “faced a lot of racism” during her upbringing, which fuelled her hatred for the West.

One of five children born in London to a British-Bangladeshi couple, she later travelled to Syria with her husband so their family could become terrorists.

She said: “We had bad neighbours, they would smash our windows, but generally I just felt like an outsider.

 “I was looking for a way to retaliate, and I wanted honour again.”

In her teens she became a prolific drug user and dropped out of school but it was while studying A-levels at a sixth form college in east London that her family believes she fell under the influence of a group of ultra-conservative Algerian students.

And after the September 11 terror attacks, when she was aged 17, she said she became “really jihadi hardcore”.

She said: “I saw the towers being crashed into and I went to school the next day.

“I said to my friend: ‘Oh isn’t it dreadful what happened?’ and she looked at me and said: ‘Is it really?’

“At that point I became really jihadi hardcore.” (Evening Standard)
