“SHE LOOKED JUST LIKE ANY OTHER SCHOOLGIRL IN MELBOURNE…” 😳📱
Before Syria. Before ISIS. Before the trial.
Old photos of Rayann El Houli have resurfaced as the “ISIS bride” scandal in Australia flares up again, revealing a teenager whose life was no different from thousands of others.
But the detail currently drawing attention is a smiling selfie posted just weeks before she disappeared overseas — because no one looking at that photo could guess where she would be just months later 👇
Inside the family rift that’s rocked ISIS bride since returning to Australia – as her embarrassing teenage social media posts resurface just before she moved to Syria
A woman who once pledged allegiance to Islamic State with her husband is not on speaking terms with at least one family member since her return to Australia.
Kirsty Rosse-Emile, who goes by her Islamic name Asma, returned home to Melbourne with her two children last Tuesday after being trapped in a Syrian refugee camp since the fall of IS in 2019.
She previously claimed she was tricked into entering the warzone in 2014, age 20, with her terrorist husband Nabil Kadmiry who she married in an unofficial ceremony when she was just 14.
Rosse-Emile’s father did not believe she was tricked, previously telling media: ‘When she said, “Oh, I was tricked” and all that, it’s not true.’
Her former housemate also recalled a conversation where Rosse-Emile, who was 17 at the time, casually said: ‘I don’t want to go to school, I want to go and make bombs.’
The Daily Mail understands Rosse-Emile has kept a low profile since returning home, and not all family members have made contact with her.
In the years before she left for war-torn Syria, Rosse-Emile wrote a raft of innocent teenage musings on social media.
She spoke about wanting to lose weight, push-ups, Oreos, the Melbourne weather and running out of phone credit, and posted about double standards around men sharing revealing photos online

Just before she left Australia in January 2014, she wrote: ‘I see how men are quick to judge saying ‘sister don’t put pictures on Facebook for many reasons … because it is [tempting] for me to see you, however they don’t address themselves.’
‘I see so many brothers putting pictures of themselves posing, showing off, their body from the gym and so on, don’t you think you are also [tempting] for women? So please brothers and sisters think about it.’
She said her reason for having social media was to maintain contact with family and friends, rather than to ‘show off’ her face or biceps.
A week earlier, she wrote: ‘[Praise be to God] I finally have the strength in my arms to do push ups yay getting there 2014 fitness first [if God wills].’
She also asked her followers: ‘Would you rather be bald with no possibility of your hair growing back or have to shave every two hours?’
The following day, she wrote: ‘Can any1 recommend me a good diet plan! im not looking to get anarexic lol i just want to shed some kilos and become healthy again! ?????’
A day later, she said she’d prefer to do the dishes instead of studying.
Earlier in January, she said it was so hot in Melbourne that she kept a face washer in the freezer, and two days later appeared pleased the temperature had cooled.





Kirsty Rosse-Emile wrote a series of posts on Facebook in the weeks she left for Syria in 2014
Weeks later, she was thrust into a violent conflict zone that was rife with beheadings and slavery.
She and Kadmiry had three children, but only two survived. Kadmiry is believed to be alive and being held in a Kurdish prison in north-east Syria.
The Australian government has stripped him of his citizenship.
In her message to the Albanese government last year, Rosse-Emile said: ‘Hello, I’m here. Can you just come and get me, finally, and my children and all the other Australians here?
‘We’re ready to start our lives afresh.’
Supportive statements about IS can still be seen on one of Rosse-Emile’s Facebook pages, uploaded before she left for Syria.
The posts read, ‘Jihad. The only solution’ and ‘Lions of Islam’, overlaid with images of terrorist figures.
Rosse-Emile was one of two ISIS brides and seven children who landed in Melbourne on May 26.

The other was Rayann El Houli, 34, who was charged on Thursday with travelling to a declared conflict zone and joining the terrorist organisation Islamic State.
Police allege she travelled to Syria between 2013 and 2014 before being detained by Kurdish forces in 2019 and held with her family at the al-Hawl detention camp in northeast Syria.
She was due to apply for bail in Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday morning but her barrister Peter Morrissey SC sought an adjournment.
He told the court the prosecution had raised concerns about El Houli’s risk of endangering the community, claiming there was a lack of evidence she had renounced IS.
Mr Morrissey said he needed more time to obtain the relevant material but he was instructed to make a statement on behalf of his client.
‘She renounces ISIS and violent jihad,’ he told the court.
‘She wants nothing to do with it – not now, not in the future, not directly and not indirectly, not for herself and not for the people she loves, and especially not for her children.’
Rosse-Emile has not been accused of any criminal offences.
Another four women and six children arrived at Sydney Airport. None have been charged.
