text: The blue-eyed doctor who fled to join the Islamic State is still allowed to practice medicine in Australia despite appearing in a propaganda video encouraging foreign medics to join a terrorist cult. Former Adelaide doctor Tareq Kamleh featured in the latest ISIS propaganda video at the weekend wearing western-style surgical scrubs and handling babies in a maternity ward as he urged people to join the death cult notorious for beheading non-Muslims. Despite his public support for ISIS, Dr Kamleh still remains registered to practice medicine in Australia until September 30 because the Medical Board has refused to deregister him, the Advertiser reports. Former Adelaide doctor Tareq Kamleh, who fled to join the Islamic State, is still allowed to practice medicine in Australia despite appearing in a propaganda video encouraging foreign medics to join the terrorist cult . The Medical Board of Australia can deregister doctors convicted of crimes and can take action against those whose conduct goes against being a 'fit and proper person'. But no action has yet been taken against Dr Kamleh. 'The role of the Medical Board of Australia is to protect the public and manage risk to patients,' the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency said. 'The Board and AHPRA are not able to comment on this matter now, as doing so could compromise any future regulatory action.' Calling himself 'Abu Yusuf', Kamleh featured in the latest ISIS propaganda video at the weekend wearing western-style surgical scrubs and handling babies in a maternity ward . Dr Kamleh, who completed his medical dress at Adelaide University, worked as a paediatric registrar at the Adelaide Women's and Children's Hospital until 2013. He then moved to north Queensland where he worked at Mackay Base Hospital, before working in Perth until late 2014. Dr Kamleh appeared in the ISIS recruitment video at the weekend calling for foreign medics to join him in the city of Raqqa to help launch the Islamic State Health Service. The video quickly went viral and caused his former medical colleagues in Australia to speak out. It has emerged Dr Kamleh has claimed he had unprotected sex with a Royal Adelaide Hospital patient who was a former sex worker and intravenous drug user after he checked her medical records, according to The Australian. Despite his public support for ISIS, Dr Kamleh still remains registered to practice medicine in Australia until September 30 because the Medical Board refused to deregister him . Dr Kamleh appeared in the ISIS recruitment video at the weekend calling for foreign medics to join him in the city of Raqqa to help launch the Islamic State Health Service . He also claimed to have slept with a patient at the Mannum District Hospital in South Australia. A former colleague who worked with Dr Kamleh during his stint at the Royal Adelaide Hospital in 2010 said he was a sexually manipulative 'creep', a 'fraud' and a 'sleazeball'. They also said he had a number of sexual relationships with nurses, doctors and other hospital staff, drank to excess and had a strong interest in shooting. 'I feel reluctant to speak ill of a former colleague, but as he is now portraying himself as a jihadist and calling others to join the so-called caliphate, I feel I should,' the colleague, who declined to be named, said. 'At the time, he was one of the most immoral people I knew, in terms of promiscuity at least.' The doctor completed his medical degree at Adelaide University and worked at various hospitals before fleeing Australia on a flight to Kuala Lumpur last month . The vision of Dr Kamleh handling babies in a maternity unit is the latest in a string of high budget propaganda videos from the depraved militant group . Another ex-colleague from South Australia said he had undergone a 'character transformation' over the past year. They claimed to have heard Kamleh had become 'devout' to such an extent he considered platonic friendships with women inappropriate, and he 'thought the way he had been living was wrong'. Immigration Minister Peter Dutton confirmed Dr Kamleh left the country on a flight to Kuala Lumpur last month. 'Reports on the weekend in relation to an Australian doctor going to serve in Syria are deeply disturbing,' Mr Dutton said. 'For a highly educated doctor to succumb to the message of this death cult is concerning to all Australians.' He could be sentenced to up to 25 years prison time if he returns to Australia and is charged.
