American child, 6, in Irish foster care as 'brainwashed' Colorado mom held in Jihad Jane probe

Colleen Larose aka 'Jihad Jane'

An American grandmother has spoken of her fears for her 6-year-old grandson who has been placed in foster care in Ireland following the arrest of his mother in the "Jihad Jane" plot.

Christine Mott says her daughter Jamie Paulin-Ramirez, 31, took her 6-year-old son with her when she abruptly left for Ireland in the fall.

Mott says her daughter then married an Algerian who she met online.

Mott says Paulin-Ramirez was a straight-A nursing student before this happened.

"This is about my baby," Mott told AP. "We need some help to get this baby back. I'm concerned about my daughter but I'm concerned about our baby boy because he shouldn't be caught in the middle of this."

The Motts said their daughter's conversion was a complete shock.

They said she announced last spring that she was becoming a Muslim and began wearing headscarves and a hijab.

"It came out of left field," Mott said. "I knew she was talking to these people online... What caused her to turn her back on her country, on her family and become this person? I don't know how or why. All I know is she was in contact with this Jihad Jane.

"The only thing I could think of is that they brainwashed her."

Irish police have not released the names of the seven Muslims they arrested in Ireland only saying they were three Algerians, a Libyan, a Palestinian, a Croatian and an American woman married to one of the Algerians.

The seven were arrested Tuesday, as U.S. authorities unsealed a terror indictment against the so-called Jihad Jane, 46-year-old Colleen LaRose of Philadelphia.

My gosh, my gosh, folks...Ireland is sheltering ISLAMIC RADICALS, and has RADICAL MUSLIM TERRORIST TRAINING FACILITIES -- for LITTLE CHILDREN, mind you -- operating on its soil. Brian Cowen, this is a CRIMINAL ACT, to allow this. It is a CRIMINAL ACT, to allow these people to exist, on Irish soil. WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU, IRISH AUTHORITIES? Why are you allowing this? I submit as evidence to you, the following article from the New York Post: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/jihadi_blondie_raised_tiny_terror_HN6AziYKEkw6yFTz2qTaKP Just copy and past this into your browser, and read...it...carefully. If Ireland's entanglement in this whole thing doesn't offend you to high heaven and make your skin crawl, NOTHING will. Note also the fact that the kid's grandparents are pacifist, liberal American DEMOCRATS (whose daughter also had this kid with an illegal alien). There are so many different yet interconnected I-told-you-so's in this story that it's mind-boggling. Islam in Ireland (gag!), illegal aliens, passive liberalism -- it all comes to a head, here. I've warned about each of these things separately and repeatedly -- and sure enough, they all come to a head, here. When will we, the stupid, passive, endlessly-distracted-by-substanceless-fluff, SELF-ABSORBED west learn? When, huh?
