Whoops: Jihadists kidnap founder of jihadist website

Oh, the irony! I'm sure she will be happier staying in Pakistan amongst her fellow Muslims instead of being forced to return to the land of the infidels. So, why doesn't Canada simply revoke her citizenship and passport? Some heart felt regrets could be sent for only the cost of a postage stamp and Canada would have one less idiot to keep track of.

As always, truth is stranger and more entertaining than fiction.

Just another useful idiot.

Chickens coming home to roost...

This is funny...a Jihadist being kidnapped by jihadists, probably for the sole reason that she is a woman, "half the intelligence of a man, destined for the fires of hell", and the eternal company of the Greatest Torturer, Allâh.

May her experience open her blind eyes and give her an epiphany of clear understanding of the opportunistic hypocrisy of Muhammedans.

If her kidnappers rape her or cut her head off, then "(S)He who lives by the sword, shall die by the sword." should be her epitaph.

The shoe is on the other foot.

I can't understand why we can't tear down Jihad Unspun and similar sites?

These sites are the infrastructure of our enemy. They need to go.

The local tabloid, The Province, here in Vancouver even ends up with a quote from a mayoral candidate, election on Saturday.

Khadija Abdul Qahaar, 52, formerly of West Vancouver... was seized at gunpoint on Tuesday while traveling to record video footage for a British journalist.

[....]

Qahaar changed her name from Beverly Giesbrecht after converting to Islam after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. She is the owner and publisher of a controversial pro-Islamic website called jihadunspun.com, which is registered to a West Vancouver address.

[West Vancouver,a suburb of Vancouver itself, is one of Canada's richest cities according to income by postal code records. Property taxes are extremely high to compensate for lack of, at least until recently, workingclass things like businesses.]

Qahaar's website was criticized by the Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies, which flagged it as "a Canadian pro-terrorist website" in its report Online Terror and Hate: The First Decade.

In an "urgent request" posted on her website on Oct. 22, Qahaar asked for financial help to get out of Pakistan, which she described as "erupting into a full-scale war zone.

"Allah knows that I really dislike having to ask but please know how hard we work for Allah," Qahaar wrote. "As a woman, I have already had a few close calls in the tribal areas as kidnappers and thieves are running loose even in Peshawar . . . With no family, it is my brothers and sisters that I must turn to for help."

[And when all else fails, she gets a hand-out from the Canadian tax-payer: "A Foreign Affairs spokeswoman confirmed a report in The Daily Times in Lahore that negotiations are continuing to free Khadija Abdul Qahaar...."]

At the end of her post, Qahaar lists payment options for Paypal, credit card and Western Union.

[....]

Vancouver mayoral candidate Peter Ladner hired her to work as a sales manager at his Vancouver Business Report magazine in 1987.

"She and some partners bought it from me in 1988," Ladner recalled. "I was completely surprised by this - she was not at all that way (into Islam). I was surprised she converted.

"She was a hard-working, hard-living and very feisty and outspoken and determined," Ladner said.

Qahaar later created Venture Quest magazine before developing the website described by friends as "an alternative source of news on the Islamic world."

[That would be Jihad Unspun.]

Quotations from The Province Newspaper, Vancouver, B.C. Nov. 13, 2008.

My heart bleeds. I am inconsolable.

Remember Giuliana Segrena? Yvonne Ridley? Or the accomplished BBC reporter Alan Johnston?

These people are doing such valuable work! We must support them:

http://sheikyermami.com/2008/11/11/fooled-again-did-you-know-al-bebeeceeras-kidnap-victim-alan-johnston-was-a-muzz/

Primitive flesh peddlers.

Sheik

I have just come away from your site, as I was also going to post the above link.

I am disgusted at these vermin, but Alan Johnson in particle.While he was held "captive", there where several Israeli soldiers also being held captive, yet the worlds media where focused on Johnson while pretty silent about the fate of the young soldiers

Now Johnson has hit the big time and got his slimy nose in the trough wiht all the other traitors, while one soldier is still being held captive, and two where murdered before being exchanged for child murderer Kuntar Samir.

Her abductors should assign her a husband and make her his tilth - regardless of what her age is. She should also have her website hosted from Islamabad, and let her sites in Canada only be mirror sites. She's in the right place, and should stay there.

Allahu Akbar!

..As a Muslim she must surely understand the mindset of the Islamic Jihadist ... as primitive as it may be...becoming a Muslim was her choice as stupid as it may be...no tears shed here..

Sometimes, you do get to see karma in action... I wonder, does she have visions of the fate of real journalists, rolling around in her head, right now? I'll bet she doesn't think Islam is Peace, this morning.

In a perfect world, Beverly would be kept, sold to the highest bidder for her hand in marriage, be taken as a fourth wife/houskeeper, and never be allowed near a computer with a modem, for the rest of her life.

And Allah knows best.

Qahaar appealed to her contributors for money to help her secure a visa to exit Pakistan, citing kidnapping fears.

How much does an "exit visa" cost in Pakistan?

With no family, it is my brothers and sisters that I must turn to for help.

Hey Muslims, she is YOUR sister. HELP HER!

Definitely chickens coming home to roost time. I can't see any hope for an epiphany however. More than likely, if she is lucky enough to get the people to pay the ransom, she will blame the US for her predicament. We are all lucky that there are no grieving relatives to show up on the evening news or to pressure Toronto or Washington. A Muslim kidnapped by other Muslims is a Muslim problem.

Does Canada have its own National Organization for Women? Where are they?

Maybe she has received a promotion...Jihadist style? Could be. Possibly they liked her work so well that they wanted her closer to their central HQ.

"Beverly Giesbrecht, a Web magazine publisher in British Columbia who adopted the name Khadija Abdul Qahaar after converting to Islam after 9/11,"

Can't say I feel sorry for you, Bev.

Sounds like a money-raising scheme for Jihad to me.

Not a penny should be sent to her, especially by the taxpayers of Canada.

Send you condolences here:

newsdesk@jihadunspun.com

I'm sure Beverly is close to Allah now

LET THEM KEEP HER I SAY

As a Canadian, I don't want to see one red cent of my tax dollars going to rescue this stupid woman. Let her rot in her islamic paradise.

Oh, no! Like many "western" Muslims, she must imagine that the infidels will drop everything and rescue her. Too bad, so sad.

Brilliant...Kidnap yourself and ask the gov for a bailout. If she was a US citizen she would get it, bailouts are popular these days.

Probably she really was kidnapped which shows the schizophrenic nature of the jihadi logic.

For an example of Islamic simplistic schizophrenia, WorldNetDaily has an excellent article about an Islamic cure for AIDS, from fly wings. If Mohammad said it it must be true...even if it's not...

Lets see Abdullah M defend that one...

And these are the people who would run the world...Incredible...

I hope Yvonne Ridley is next! And may her post-conversion ordeal, as opposed to the one that led her to join the cause of allah (the imaginary), be something really, really islamic (such as what happens to infidels when they're taken captive by her more devout co-religionists.)

"Allah knows that I really dislike having to ask but please know how hard we work for Allah," Qahaar wrote. "As a woman, I have already had a few close calls in the tribal areas as kidnappers and thieves are running loose even in Peshawar . . . With no family, it is my brothers and sisters that I must turn to for help."
-- from the article above

This tells us a bit more about Giesbrecht's vulnerability to conversion. "With no family" means that she felt compelled to find a substitute family, and found it in the collectivism of Islam, which offered her, so she naively thought, ready-made "brothers and sisters" who, of course, are nothing like real "brothers and sisters" but the same words used for quite a different situation help to mislead the unwary. So she is turning to her fellow Muslims, "my brothers and sisters," to help her against other fellow Muslims in Pakistan not quite so impressed with her, presumably also her "brothers (if not her sisters)." If indeed she needs to be rescued from some of the "brother," in the end it will be the non-Muslim non-brothers of the Canadian government, working through others, or sufficiently pressuring her Pakistani "brothers" to act against other Pakistani "brothers," that will rescue her.

Will she ever grasp that? Could she ever begin to think about what she has actually observed, say, in northwest Pakistan and make sense of it?

When she writes that "as a woman" she was in particular danger, does she wonder why that statement is true for Pakistan and any other Muslim-dominated country, but not for Canada or England or the United States?

Do such people ever begin to allow themselves to recognize reality, or it a case of convincing yourself that this all, surely, is simply a misunderstanding within Islam, something that can be overcome through discussion, group-talk, and other therapeutic activities?

We'll have one example to examine, when this ditzy lady, Beverly Giesbrecht, finally comes back to the safety of non-Muslim Canada. Perhaps on the plane someone can hand her Ayaan Hirsi Ali's "Infidel" and she can start her learning there.

Ha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha....hahahahahahahahahah....

Excuse me let me gather my thoughts and ummm... I am sorry to hear this but you know it is good to get a little bit of your own medicine. Preach Jihad and hate, not a good idea. Your fellow Muslims love kidnapping. They are the best at it.

"Sometimes, you do get to see karma in action... I wonder, does she have visions of the fate of real journalists, rolling around in her head, right now? I'll bet she doesn't think Islam is Peace, this morning.

In a perfect world, Beverly would be kept, sold to the highest bidder for her hand in marriage, be taken as a fourth wife/houskeeper, and never be allowed near a computer with a modem, for the rest of her life.

And Allah knows best."

Abscedere, that was BRILLIANT!!!

"Allah knows that I really dislike having to ask but please know how hard we work for Allah," Qahaar wrote."

That statement has caused me to lose even the one scintilla of sympathy I had for her concerning her situation.

Also, she's got to be insane. Really.

I assume, she was traveling in the company of a husband or close male relative.

From the moslem captive's site,


VIDEO: Islamic State Of Iraq Targets US Bradley In Diyala

Here is a new video release from the Islamic State of Iraq that shows Mujahideen detonating an IED at a US Bradley in Baghdad that completely destroys the vehicle. Please be patient as this Windows Media file downloads to your computer

I hope she is reading this somehow, I hope you enjoy the company of real moslems.
May you never see the West again, traitor.

Since Khadija Abdul Qahaar was on a freelance assignment for the Al Jazeera network, will the influences of that network help to free her from her brothers, or will she need the help from those she has apparently disdained since her conversion in 2002 from her birthright of Beverly Giesbrecht?

Ironically the documentary she was working on has the title of "Democracy in Pakistan: The High Price of Freedom," of which possibly for her maybe truly part of the story.

There where two letters that support her as operating for Al Jazeera, the first letter was signed by a Phil Rees, a former British Broadcasting Corp. foreign correspondent who runs his own documentary film company and who identified himself as news director, London, for Al Jazeera. The second letter was signed by Scott Ferguson, programming director for Al Jazeera.Will Al Jazeera come to her aid?

Though Giesbrecht somehow reached some interesting conclusions after curiously investigating 9-11 and says it lead her to the conversion to Islam.

she argues that her sight does not promote terrorism,and that she is not a propagandist, and argues that she gives both sides of the story.

I beg to differ with her. Her website clearly betrays that what she espouses.

From another article on her site:
http://www.jihadunspun.com/IslamUnderAttack/articles/
“Oh people : How have you forgotten your religion, abandoned your glory, and stayed put instead of rushing to defend the religion of Allah? Are you content with staying behind? Did you think that glory and honor were meant to belong to the Kafirs? Didn’t you know that Allah made glory and honor to belong to Allah, his messenger, and the believers? Don’t you feel any pain when you see the enemy of Allah and your enemy step with his filthy feet on your land which was made yours by the blood of your fathers? Don’t you feel ashamed that the filthy Kafirs humiliate you and use you as slaves while not too long ago you were the masters of this world?

Well, I imagine her being a woman--and thus vulnerable, is part of it. I would imagine that the other aspect is that she is--no matter how nominally--a Westerner, with all the opportunity for ransom and propaganda that that implies.

................

Probably not. Islam, like Communism, is somehow never at its best. A region that has been almost entirely Muslim for decades, and Muslim majority for centuries, that runs under Shari'ah law, or something close to it, in a sub-set of that area that considers itself even more Islamic than the rest--well, that couldn't represent the "real Islam" in any way, could it?

In general, not only are Muslim countries more dangerous and backward than their non-Muslim neighbors, but the more Islamic a region becomes, the more dangerous and backward it becomes.

Ergo, Pakistan is much more dangerous and backward than neighboring India, and the Northwest frontier region of Pakistan is more dangerous and backward than Islamabad or Lahore.

"Kadija" may consider herself a great "defender of Islam", but I would imagine that her captors consider her just another stupid Western journalist, who will likely bring a good ransom, and, if not, there is always rape and beheading.

Although Giesbrecht is an appalling person--converting to Islam in the wake of 9/11 is always especially shocking to me--I hope she is released. No one deserves to be abducted by Jihadists--not even this idiot. I don't know whether she will learn from this hard lesson, though--she seems pretty far gone in Islamo-insanity.

Well, it's a good thing that she loves terrorists and Jihadists, 'cause as a woman in that vicious part of the world she is in for a lot of "loving" for the next few weeks with terrorists and Jihadists. And it just couldn't happen to a nicer woman. Liberals are the only group of people I know( besides 2-year-olds) that have to fall and get their heads whacked or bumped over and over a hundred times to figure out that it hurts.

She lost her head a long time ago; I hope the Muslims who captured her make that figurative condition literal.

After having read all the comments I just fail to realise why ppl r so insensitive??

Did u ppl even read that her translator was kidnapped as well??

He was my fiance..and I know its no drama
This is the 5th nite that we haven't heard from him..
I have no sympathy for Ms Qahaar she knew it was a risky place and she had no rite 2 put my fiances life in danger
She just paid him a decent amount of money as she didn't get any other translator who would work with her...
My fiance is just a student who had set out on this work in spite of our repeated warnings and a close call in FATA 2 weeks back with Ms Qahhar .
He just thought it was thrilling but never paid heed to my words.Ms Qahhar had even written in a report of hers about him fleeing in the middle of the night from some place after listening to my words-which is completely false as he fought with me and his friends to work with her.
And now his life is in danger and we are spending sleeepless nites with no clue as to where he is and when he will be back.
She should be responsible enough if not for herself then atleast for the people she has taken along with her!
Please pray for the safe release of my fiance.
Its the worst punishment for someone to spend his birthday in captivity!

Thank u all

great news , if the same could happen to Yvonne Ridley. Traitors deserve this

cyanideangel-

What a crock of ....

Something brings to mind....lie done with dogs, get up with fleas.

Something brings to mind....lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.

cyanideangel,

Your fiance made a choice and if he did not heed your advice then he was perfectly aware of the dangers of going to an Islamic country.

ppl like her are the scum of humanity; hopefully ,they slowly slice her head off.

cyanideangel,

What a strange name cyanide-angel yeah and story is BS as well. You go to Islamic countries you get the worst imaginable things happen. So please spare me your ridiculous story.

One word: schadenfreude.

So I guess there WON'T BE PEACE ON EARTH after all, if the whole world goes Muslim.

Cyanide Angel, you can't have it both ways. You can't adhere to a religion that promotes violence against everybody else besides Muslims and then expect everyone else to shed a tear or give a flying flip when your fiance is kidnapped by those animals. As far as your fiance accepting money for a dangerous job, you said:

"I have no sympathy for Ms Qahaar she knew it was a risky place and she had no rite 2 put my fiances life in danger
She just paid him a decent amount of money as she didn't get any other translator who would work with her..."

You have a lot of nerve accusing us of being insensitive when you yourself have no sympathy for Ms. Qahaar. I guess some people are like that though...don't give a damn about anyone else but certainly give a damn when it's happening to themselves.

Let that be a lesson to you.

However, I will say a prayer for your fiance because that's what people of good will do for others, and you don't even have to be like me or believe what I believe for me to do it.

Whatta maroon!

Didn't your mother teach you to read the fine print before selling your soul? Hey, it's right there in the manual, women are NOTHING to allah, nothing. Next time, read the fine print. Tisk, tisk.

You weren't signing up with Greenpeace, madam, but you've enlisted in Islam where jihad is your duty, like it or not, and where women are nothing more than disposal no-good objects for allah. Cheer up, you're in allah's army now!

"he fought with me and his friends to work with her."

I don't have any sympathy for idiots like that. Like Nick Berg's father, weeping like a baby hearing about his son getting beheaded, and then he blames Bush and not the Muslims who actually sawed off his son's head, I have ZERO sympathy for that idiot Leftist father and I'm glad he suffered his anguish.

Any bets as to her wondering why Islam is not as "peaceful" as she thought it was in Canada?

What a fine example of Multicultural inbreeding.

Well, I checked out Qahaar's appalling site. In one article, she spends most of her time berating Muslims for not being "real men" and waging violent Jihad. This article is full of helpful anecdotes about "martyred" Muslims, such as this one:

"Then there came running, from the farthest part of the city, a man, saying, “O- my people! Obey the messengers..

As expected, this believing man paid his life for his stand."

Well, what is odd about it is the illustration Qahaar has chosen--it does not show a Muslim being killed by an Infidel. Instead, astonishingly, it shows what is clearly an unarmed Greek priest being murdered by a turbaned man with a scimitar, while similar scenes of carnage rage in the background.

It seems our intrepid editor couldn't find a scene of Muslims being persecuted, so she substituted a massacre of Infidels *by* Muslims, and hoped that no one would notice.

Here's the link:

http://www.jihadunspun.com/IslamUnderAttack/articles/pseudo2.htm

I still think this abduction is a scam to raise money. However, since I've now looked at her Jihad Unspun site, I must add my voice to those who care not one whit what happens to Ms. "Qahaar", if it is true.

And if true, and she does managae to get a visa, let's hope it's valid only for some other Islamic hellhole.

It seems she does not need the West. Well, the West certainly doesn't need her.

A friend of mine here in oil rich Alberta, Canada owns an Oil field equipment estimating and cunsulting company. He had to go to North Korea to do some work for a few weeks. The Canadian Goverment had him sign a waiver that they are under no obligation to save his ass in case something happened to him.
This women, ignorant as she is, i reaping her reward. When in Rome!

Its the worst punishment for someone to spend his birthday in captivity!

Thank u all

Posted by: cyanideangel

First, that's an interesting nom de plume you've chosen.

Second, I can think of a lot worse punishments.

Third, Americans who were working for Muslims spent a decade or more in captivity. That's TEN birthdays to you!

Fourth, what are they doing kidnapping fellow Muslims? Pay your boyfriend's ransom yourself, honey.

Cyanideangel, sorry to sound so harsh, but your fiance sounds like he's every bit as much an idiot as Khadija Abdul Qahaar. You should cross your fingers and hope that he's out of your life completely, thus giving you a chance to start a new one with better company. As you have seen already, don't expect ANY sympathy from anyone on this site.

And WTF kind of handle is cyanideangel, anyway?

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Could Cyanide Angel be our own former troll, Naseem, or one of the other personalities that used to use her computer?

I think we are being BS'd here kids. Remember, there are no birthdays in Islam. And why would these guys kidnap someone who is spreadin' the jihad on thick?

Tune into some major news outlet later tonight featuring Ibrahim Hooper whining about how "insensitive" we are to Muslims.

Weak kneaded people tick me off…. I believe that people should suffer the consequences of their malice. She is not just stupid. She is evil. Face it: she gets sympathy because she is a woman. She is no different than Abu Azam El Ameriki or any of the Westeren SOBs who joined the dark side, except anatomically. Those who are sympathetic to her should not give themselves kudos- They should be well ashamed for wasting in cerebral capacity sympathizing with this vermin while millions of infidels and our own troops are suffering at the hand of jihadists.

I do not believe that Cyanide Angel is who she says... She is most likely an anonymous Islamic troll attacking the people on this site. In the unlikely event that her finance, a Paki dude, taken the job, he bears the consequences for his actions. I am more inclined to feel sympathies for the non-Muslim minorities in Fecalstan who are suffering a hellish existence at the hands of cousins of this hypothetical translator.

"cyanide angel" is a contradiction-in-terms.

Pay no attention to the Islamic troll.

*

"Face it: she gets sympathy because she is a woman."

I'm a woman and I have NO sympathy for that female moron. End of story. In fact, I hate her stupid guts. She's a traitor. I couldn't care less what her fate is as a voluntary convert to the "Religion" of War, Hate, Intolerance, Violence, Mass-Murder and Misogyny.

Enjoy yourself in Paki, Stupid Bev!

Isabella:

So good to see you. Please write.

CGW

GravenImage, I would argue that yes, she does deserve it. She devoted her career to campaigning for jihadists, and now she gets to have it truly Islamic-style. She had no business thinking that she could be free and be a Muslim. Muslim women can only exist as the outright property (slave) of nasty old man who she does not get to choose and must marry/be enslaved by/stay with under physical duress. That is Islam. That she committed treasonous sedition for that is ridiculous. Now let her have what she wanted. All Muslim women are 'kidnapped,' except that their former slave-owners (muhrim) sell them into the 'kidnapping' after having them genitally mutilated. They can never go anywhere or leave the 'kidnapper.' And the 'kidnapper' can accuse her of adultery and get her stoned to death. And we're supposed to feel sorry for her for finally really being a Muslim?

Plus she's being un-Islamic by wearing tons of make-up and, judging by her pre-reversion photo from Sheik's site, rocking a ton of lip collagen, believe it or not. I agree that this is a ruse to get more money and even of it isn't, screw her. People should be more careful what they wish for.

OMG, cyanideangel, even if you aren't a troll, we're supposed to feel sorry for your pedophilic, traitorous fiance? And he is a pedphile, judging by the fact that you can't possibly be older than 13, since you write things like 'ppl,' 'u,' and 'nite.' Ugh. Seriously. Grow the hell up. And I know how racist this sounds, but why is it only Asians who do that crap? Not 'Asians,' really. More like 'AZNs,' which has more to do with being 13 and and asshat than it does with being Asian. And to call him a 'student' is nothing short of outright fraudulence. He did not get a grant to do fieldwork. He is a jihadist, translating for another jihadist. I am a student because I am currently enrolled in school. He is a jihadist because his evil, dumb ass chose to help an evil, dumb skank work on jihadist propaganda. Get it? I wish all Western Muslims would meet the same fate as these two. They should learn about how Islam really works, but they never do because they willfully ignore the truth about it, as do Muslims from these hellholes, who are incapable of connecting 2 and 2, just as they are incapable of adding up 1/3 + 2/3 + 1/8. Darwinism's a bitch, ain't it?

Jdamm,

...just as they are incapable of adding up 1/3 + 2/3 + 1/8. Darwinism's a bitch, ain't it?

That was priceless! Let the zombies figure out the logic in that statement!

Oh, wait, they can't! Allah invented math!

Thanks for the great laugh.

Cyanide Angel (like others pointed out above, bizarre handle)

I'm assuming that your fiancé was fluent in Urdu or Pashtu, which is what Begum Qahaar would have needed in order to operate in NWFP. Question here - is he a Muslim?

If yes, I have no sympathy for you. Incidentally, are you a Muslimah?

If no, I'm sympathetic to the extent that he probably determined that the pay was worth the risk, and he decided to chance his odds. Beyond that, however, no. Even if I was destitute, last place I'd go to would be anywhere in dar ul Islam.

Either Bevs hijab is being undone or she's trying to raise enough money for Osama’s next dialysis treatment!

I am 24 and my fiance is not a pedophile.For all those talking about Islam and Jihad.My fiance was not a Jihadist.He is a native of Peshawar and fluent in Pashto and Urdu and English.He made the biggest mistake by going against us and working for that lady.In the past they had escaped a close call about 10 days back and then in spite of our warnings he went to work with her again.
And he is paying for his mistake in a huge way.
I guess I have posted in the wrong place.
But thanks to all who have prayed for him.

Maybe she should have learned Urdu, or Pashtu, or Punjabi. Nah, just wear a headscarf and wing it. Converts who travel to Islamic hotbeds are so naive. Like Midnight Express. And from her photo this was a little-old-lady. There aren't enough o's in stooooopid!

These people who convert then take up the struggle of "their oppressed people" must be the running joke of the muslim community. This lady can take whatever her people want to give her. I'd laugh if they try to ransom her only to find nobody wants her back. I wonder if main stream media will pick this story up?

Message to the kidnappers: Please don't return her.

Isabella,

Naseem was the first person who sprung to my mind, too. It was the phony "thank u all" that did it. It's so similar to Naseem's phony "Asalamu Alaikum" (forgive my spelling, folks.).

"Its the worst punishment for someone to spend his birthday in captivity!

Really? Is it worse than being a rape victim, yet being stoned to death for an adulteress, at the ripe old age of thirteen?

Is it worse than having your (female) genitalia lopped off, without anaesthesia, against your will, with any old sharp piece of metal or glass that will cut?

Is it worse than being hanged on the arm of a crane (again as a fictitious adulteress) so that you strangle to death, rather than having your neck broken (still sickening, but more merciful).

Is it worse than having acid thrown in your face by some stranger, who judges you not to be "covered" enough?

Is it worse than being a pre-pubescent girl, betrayed by her family into a marriage with an old man (who, incidentally, has the right to beat you, if he so much as "fears" rebellion, on your part)?

Is it worse than being burned alive in your school, just because you can't get to the room where you hung your chador?

Is it worse than finding uncle Abdullah, "thighing" your baby daughter, because some Ayatollah says he can?

Just a little food for thought, "Angel". Eat it, digest it, and grow.

Girlfriend,

You can spell it anyway you like. It ain't a killing offense.

I prefer "A Salami/Alka Seltzer".

Hey, did you ever get those Christmas lights up last year? Or was that the year before? Time flies when I'm Jihad Watchin'. : )

this is just too funny, poetic justice.

Tle local paper ran this story credited to the AP. The amount of Information left out or edited out is just incredible.

Just a poor freelance journalist taken captive for no apparent good reason.

The Press is just so corrupt.
