You may have read the story of three Muslim sisters from Bradford who went to Saudi Arabia for pilgrimage and are are now feared to have travelled to Syria with their nine children. The sisters and their children, aged between three and 15, were due back in the UK but are thought to have boarded a flight to Istanbul in Turkey on 9 June.
It is being speculated that the three sisters have run away and have joined their brother who is already fighting for the Islamic State, ISIS
However, something does not add up and no one among the press dare to ask that question. You see, no woman can enter Saudi Arabia without a male escort, a husband, brother, adult son or father.
The question is: How did these three women enter Saudi Arabia for pilgrimage in the first place? They either never went to Saudi Arabia or there is a man missing in this story who knows what happened while the family is not telling the truth.
Here are two of the fathers. They’re obviously much older than their wives and from their English, seem to be recent immigrants who were married to these three UK-born Muslim sisters of Bradford.
The report here* is that “the 15-year-old boy [Junaid] was acting as the family’s mahram - an appropriate male responsible for the family - during the pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia”
Does this make sense, though (only 15 years old)?
