The former Australian doctor, Tareq Kamleh, who worked in hospitals in South Australia, Queensland and the Northern Territory, was religiously motivated to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State (IS) group.

Australian Federal Police (AFP) documents reveal, an increasingly "religious" attitude made the man take that extreme step. Meanwhile, last week, police in South Australia have received an arrest warrant from an Adelaide court against the 29-year-old doctor.

Meanwhile, on Thursday, reporters assigned to cover courts were given an access to an edited version of the affidavit for the arrest warrant. According to the document, Kamleh's friends recounted the doctor turning "more religious" during 2014, and his views continued to grow more fundamental with time.

The former paediatric registrar shared his thoughts with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) through a Facebook post, and two of those make it apparent that he doesn’t remorse his decision to the IS group.

He wrote; A, I have no concern if you cancel my registration, B, I have no concern if you cancel my passport.

Kamleh also told his friends that he was going back to his Muslim faith. "Up until 2013, Kamleh was living a lifestyle not consistent with what would be described as a practicing Muslim," the document said. The affidavit also mentioned Kamleh first entered Turkey before crossing over to Syria in late March to join the group.

Earlier it was reported that Kamleh was spotted in an IS propaganda video, confirming his association with the IS group. He had been charged with three counts of offence, for joining and involving in hiring activities for the terror organisation and for visiting a “declared area” under section 119.2 of the Criminal Code Act.

Another report quoted the doctor saying, “I made a very well-educated and calculated decision to come here, it did not involve any brainwashing.”
