Lewisham jihadist Khadijah Dare yesterday tweeted she wants to be the first UK woman to kill a British or US citizen.
In the chilling message posted at 11.44am, the 22-year-old taunts the nation stating the UK must be ‘shaking up’ before laughing.
Dare, who operates by the name Muhajirah fi Sham meaning ‘Immigrant in Syria’ on her Twitter page, also asked for links to the video of the execution of US journalist James Folley who was beheaded in a video posted by the Islamic State militant group on Tuesday.
Her tweet read: ‘Any links 4 da execution of da journalist plz. Allahu Akbar. UK must b shaking up haha. I wna b da 1st UK woman 2 kill a UK or US terorist’.
She later tweets: ‘I hav no tym 4 arguments wit da ignorant’.
A regular Twitter user, Dare’s profile picture is a photo of her toddler son holding an AK-47 gun.
She was thought to have left the UK for Syria in 2012 and before her departure worshiped at the Lewisham Islamic Centre.
On Dare’s Facebook page she has also shared links to the centre in which she calls for Londoners to join her in Syria.
American journalist James Foley was abducted in Syria in November 2012 while reporting on the civil war for Agence France-Press and GlobalPost.
While travelling through northern Syria his vehicle was stopped by militants and he was never seen again.
A video of the 40-year-old reporter being beheaded has caused a world-wide media storm with police warning internet users they could be arrested over terrorism legislation for viewing or sharing the video which has since been removed by YouTube.
In a statement, the Lewisham Islamic Centre said that Dare’s desire to travel to Syria has nothing to do with the centre and/or any of its staff.
The statement reads: “We can confirm that had she sought the centre’s advice before departing for Syria, we would have categorically dissuaded her from taking the particular action that she did despite us fully understanding why young men and women may be motivated to travel to Syria because of the tragic human suffering taking place there.”
