Former Muay Thai Champion Valdet Gashi Reportedly Killed Fighting For Isis

By James Goyder


In his social media posts Valdet Gashi painted a pleasant picture of life with ISIS. Alongside photos of him rowing a boat or eating a banana were status updates extolling his idyllic new existence. The reality seems to have been somewhat different for the 28-year-old who was reportedly killed on June 27th.


Gashi had previously claimed that his job was akin to that of a policeman, patrolling an area close to the Turkish border and searching for smugglers. However on June 21st his upbeat posts came to an abrupt end with a message announcing he would be saying “Bye Bye” to facebook.


A week later Gashi would be dead. Given that ISIS members have in the past inadvertently given away strategic military locations with social media posts it is possible that the group instructed the former Muay Thai fighter to stop updating his facebook page because he was being sent to the front line.

"If I die while doing good, I of course will be glad," it quoted him as saying at the time.

Happy to oblige.

Not that it matters.... but he wasn't Thai.... he was German-Albanian.

Won a lot of Muay Thai fights when he was in Thailand though..

But now he's lost his last fight...in Syria....probably wearing black and carrying an AK-47 when he bought the farm.... celebrated the birth of his first child lately....

But since he was a killer for ISIS...... his death is good news... :)

To borrow from a phrase.... .the only good ISIS killer is a dead ISIS killer...

General Norman Schwarzkopf of Gulf war fame was once asked "What would you do with an enemy who is prepared to die for his cause?", he answered "Accommodate him!"

Members of ISIS are modern - day crusaders. Different religion but same caliber of ruffians.
