'Young age with a weak body... he ended up selling his soul for a cheap price': Baby-faced jihadi Jake Bilardi is mocked on Islamic State-linked site after carrying out their sick suicide bombing
- Islamic State propaganda sought to praise 18-year-old Australia jihadi
- But it delivers backhanded compliments, calling him physically weak
- Jake Bilardi was reportedly killed in a suicide bombing last week
- Iraqi officials said the mission killed no one but the bomber
- The latest IS post to emerge says Bilardi 'sold his soul cheaply'
An
Islamic State propaganda website geared towards celebrating the
sacrifice made by Melbourne teenage jihadi, Jake Bilardi, has done
anything but glorify the actions of the 18-year-old suicide bomber.
The
post, titled as the story of Abu Abdullah Al-Austrālī – the name
Bilardi adopted after he travelled to Iraq to join IS – gives the
teenager some praise as a devout Muslims who prays and fasts often.
But
the rant describes Bilardi as having ‘a weak body’ and having 'sold his
soul for a cheap price' - revealing how misguided his decisions were.

Bilardi,
who fled to the Middle East last year from his Melbourne home,
reportedly died after he blew himself up in a suicide mission targeting
the Iraqi armed forces at Ramadi in central Iraq last week.
The
attack was a failure. Iraqi military spokesman General Tahssin Ibrahim
said no one was killed and just a few vehicles were damaged in Bilardi's
suicide mission.
The
extremist site seeks to praise Bilardi but delivers backhanded comments
describing his weakness and ultimately the futility of his sacrifice.
‘He
started fighting in Baijī against the ISF Rāfidha and was a lion on the
battlefield although he was at a young age and with a weak body, he was
like a mountain,’ the post on a tumblr blog site associated with the
Islamic extremist group said.
It
goes on to say that Bilardi volunteered for a 'martyrdom operation' -
code words for a suicide bombing - and that he was eager to carry out
the mission.

Earlier
social media posts suggested Bilardi had wanted to take part in a
suicide bombing in Baiji in Iraq, but that he pulled out of this mission
because he got cold feet.
Instead he fought in the city before again signing up for martrydom and being sent to Ramadi in Iraq.
The
latest post said Bilardi was 'full of happiness as he was finally going
to meet his Lord and receive the great rewards promised by Him.'
But it goes on to mock his sacrifice.
'This brother originated from an atheist family & ended up selling his soul to Allah for a cheap price,' the post says.

to Islam, according to school friends, and wearing a Chelsea Football

Last week an image of Bilardi sitting in front of an Islamic State flag was posted to Twitter
The
post said that during his time in Ramadi, Bilardi was very devout
'known for his worship of Allah' and would fast every other day.
It
said Bilardi accepted Islam three years ago ‘even though his parents
basically went to war with him at home tried to stop him from
reverting’.
'Happy-slapped': Bilardi was bullied
while at high school in Craigieburn in Melbourne's north, and video
emerged last night showing him being 'happy-slapped'
The
bullying tactic sees a group of people slap their victim and film it on a
camera phone before uploading it online in order to humiliate them
Bilardi,
a former Craigieburn Secondary College student, converted to Islam in
2012 when he was in Year 10 - shortly after his mother died of cancer.
A
video later surfaced from his school days which shows Bilardi being
'happy slapped' - a bullying tactic which sees a group of people slap
their victim, film it and upload it online to humiliate them.
In December, Bilardi reached Ramadi, a city located in central Iraq, and said he 'made hijra (or departed)’ in August.
