Six-Year-Old Deaf Schoolboy On ISIS Hit List

Deaf News: A six-year-old schoolboy facing deportation has begged to stay in the United Kingdom because he is on the ISIS hit list for being Deaf.



LONDON, UK -- The Sun - Lawand Hamadamin fled Iraq with his parents and brother last year after learning that the sick terrorist organisation had ordered the killing of disabled kids by lethal injection.



There were also rumours Al-Qaeda and Islamic State were recruiting young people with disabilities to become suicide bombers.



Mum Golbahar Hussein, 33, and dad Rebwar Golbahayh, 35, set off on a treacherous journey across Europe with Lawand, who was born profoundly Deaf and unable to communicate, and his nine-year-old brother Rawa.



In order to protect Lawand's cochlear implant during his perilous trip across the water, his parents put a plastic bag on his head.



They then spent a year living in a French refugee camp before they came to Britain and settled in Derby.



Lawand got a place at the Royal School for the Deaf in the city, where he has learned to communicate via British Sign Language.



His parents thanked the school for "saving their son's life" and he has continued to thrive with his teachers saying he is making "extraordinary progress."



But this week, his shocked parents were told the devastating news by the Home Office that they are now likely to be deported to Germany and warned they'll be given a week to leave on January 9.



Staff at the non-maintained residential special school say they are heartbroken at the prospect of Lawand leaving.



They are now working with solicitors supported by charity DeafKidz International in a bid to reverse the decision by the Home Office.



Head teacher Helen Shepherd said: "Lawand's family are understandably devastated that they are being deported, especially since he has made such extraordinary progress in the few months he has been with us.



"When Lawand arrived at the school in September, he had no means of communicating with anyone - even his own family.



"In the very short time he has been with us, Lawand has made exceptional progress.



"He is signing incredibly well and we have been so proud of him - he has made good friends, has grown in confidence and exceeded all our expectations.



"It is inconceivable that he should be removed from the school when he has only just begun.



"Lawand's cochlear implant processor has broken and so he has no functioning hearing aid yet.



"He has an appointment this week so that he can get a referral to the Nottingham Cochlear Implant Centre.



"There is little chance that he will get that appointment before the New Year, by which time he could have gone."

ISIS Using Sign Language To Recruit Deaf Terrorists

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO - ISIS militants are using sign language to show that even people with disabilities can wage jihad for the Islamic State, a report said.



NEW YORK POST - In their latest recruitment video, titled “From Who Excused To Those Not Excused,” a pair of Deaf and mute fighters brandishing machine guns issued threats and urged Westerners to join their campaign of terror, NBC News reports.



The extremists claim to be working as traffic police in the Iraqi city of Mosul, which has become an ISIS stronghold in recent months. They are wearing black jumpsuits and military equipment fitted with handcuffs and ammunition as they speak about their desire to “slaughter” their enemies and radicalize others who will do the same.



Using both Arabic and English subtitles, the video begins with the statement: “We, the deaf and mute, direct our message to the Islamic world.”



“To the Muslims in Europe, both Arab and non-Arab, the way is open before you for you to come to the land of the Kilafah,” one of the militants continues, using sign language.

“The Islamic State is expanding…and we say to America, Britain, Italy and France, who have frantically mobilized against the Muslims, and we say to the rulers of Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar, who have allied with them…the Messenger said, ‘We have only come to you with slaughter,’ and we will surely come and slaughter you, by Allah’s permission.”



Alex Kassirer, a researcher at the global security firm Flashpoint Intelligence, says the video “represents an attempt by the group to recruit other physically or otherwise impaired individuals, as well as demonstrates the multifaceted responsibilities of those in its ranks,” according to NBC News. He added that it now proves “even traffic police in the Islamic State have a dual functionality, also serving in military roles.” ...

Speaking in sign language with English and Arabic subtitles, one of the men says: 'I am a deaf mute who works in the traffic police in the Islamic State with my brother Abu Abdur-Rahman.



'As for my message to the apostate peshmerga (Kurdish fighters) we will strike you soon, by Allah's permission. I am living in a land in which Allah's sharia is established.'
