#1 · 06-01-2019 01:00PM #1

YPG media has announced in the last couple of hours, the capture of Dubliner & Irish citizen Alexandr Ruzmatovich Bekmirzaev (45)

I wonder will the Dept of Foreign Affairs be offering consular services?

He's not as good looking as the last poster boy ibrahim halawa!
So no, I'd say he's goosed!

Whatever the merit, or lack of, the Dept. Of Foreign Affairs probably have some obligation to offer assistance don't they?

Indeed a good solid Irish name. Which of the Bekmirzaevs is he now?, originally down Letrim way were they?

The Kerry Bekmirzaevs I'd say, good with horses, powerful baritone voices.

Delighted for him. Obviously the State did their job when offering this terrorist Irish citizenship...

TheValeyard · 06-01-2019 01:39PM

F*ck him. He went to fight for a barbaric medieval cult. He deserves whatever punishment the Kurds deal out.

they were preparing to attack a convoy of civilians escaping a war zone, it begs the question why they didn't just put a bullet in him and send him to meet Mohammad

His photo is further proof that beards cause evil.

The Irish Citizenship test should require that the applicant be clean shaven and consume 6 pints of Guinness followed by a Full Irish with extra bacon, sausage and pudding.

Where's he from originally? Sounds a bit Chechen

Atlantic Dawn · 06-01-2019 01:45PM

I hope he took out travel inshurdance, lol.

I think its about time there is a distinction made between irish citizen and citizen of ireland

It's likely there, Dagastan or the Caucasus. I'd go with your guess, based mostly on the epic beard.

Let him off, live by the sword, die by the sword so to speak. Won’t lose sleep over him not coming home anyway

Big radical muslim head on him

Reminds me of a radical Trigger from Only Fools and Horses.

Some crowd of faux Irish carrying Irish passports these days.

Apparently from bobruisk, belarus if it's the same person

The only 'service' they should be offering is that of revoking his Irish citizenship.

Stick a Woodbine in the corner of his mouth, a Dublin GAA jersey on his back, give him a Banjo, sit him on a box, (and photograph him with the the GPO in the background) and he could be Irish. (I'm sure it could be photo-shopped)

Poor fella went home last year to visit his sick mama and got 'caught up' in a village fued.
We Irish understand fueds you see, so we can see how one can easily get 'caught up' in one?

If there's a few votes in it, some party will come forward to assist this misunderstood, father of six, 'freedom fighters' passage home.
Halawa's sisters could write him a letter( or fifty with those colored pencils) or the good folks who traced O' Bama's great-gran-pappy could pull the same stunt for this chap?

All in all, knowing us modern Irish, I think this chap will get back 'home' in one piece.

suicide_circus · 06-01-2019 02:53PM

he was probably just innocently coming out of the cinema

bigroad · 06-01-2019 03:06PM

When will he be on the late late show.

DavidLyons_ · 06-01-2019 03:07PM

Zappone, various Shinners and brain dead do-gooders will soon be campaigning to bring him home.

Giving it Alluah Akbar and all the rest of that bullsh1t at Dublin Airport again.

Fann Linn · 06-01-2019 03:07PM

Hope he's killed.
Slowly.

I know this is after hours etc.....
but can we please stop acting a little less like a brexit supporting, Tommy Robinson **** circle....
This guy is obviously a ****in evil twat, but that does not equate with every naturalised Irish citizen or Muslim resident of ireland, or asylum seeker or refugee being a sub human terrorist....

Not one single post has suggested as such.

What it does prove though, is that all “background checks” achieve nothing. How did he manage to get an Irish passport?

I know it is early days, but obviously this guy has been naturalised, is the process flawed? Unless his name is Paddy O’Brien and he took a lovely peace loving name?

I thought Terrence Edward Kelly a.k.a Khalid Kelly a.k.a Abu Osama Al-Irlandi was the last poster boy.
