Philippines: Saudi woman fleeing abuse returned to her abusers, could be killed

Apr 15, 2017 12:01 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Saudi woman warned officials that if they sent her back to Saudi with her uncles, who had come to collect her, they would ‘kill’ her.

Why are leftist so-called feminists not taking to the streets to help women who have no voice and of who suffer the worst abuses in the Islamic world? They’re apparently too busy exhibiting their rage against white men in the free West, their hatred of the President of the United States, and pursuing paranoid trivialities, as reported by the Daily Wire, which tracked “101 things that feminists say are sexist,” including tickling and the “rape culture” supposedly perpetuated by a pizza chain that refused to change its topping.

In the midst of these “feminist” rants come the heartbreaking cries of female victims of unspeakable abuse in the name of Islam, such as Dina Ali Lasloom, who needed to be rescued in the Philippines but was forced back to Saudi Arabia and has not been heard from since. The Saudi embassy in Manila issued an appalling statement “calling the case a ‘family matter’ and added without elaborating that she had ‘returned with her relatives to the homeland.'”

There are many other voiceless girls and women suffering through “family matters” as a result of female genital mutilation (FGM, which is now also being practiced under the table in Western countries), beatings, forced marriage, rape, acid attacks, etc., and of course there are those who are murdered in the name of “honor” and stoned for being raped or for being accused of adultery.

Women, infidels, apostates, children and gays are the asylum seekers who should have been prioritized in Western countries.

“Fears as fleeing Saudi woman is returned to her ‘abusers,’” Middle East Monitor, April 13, 2017:

Activists have expressed concern after a Saudi woman claiming she sought asylum in Australia was stopped on a layover in the Philippines and returned to Riyadh yesterday.

Dina Ali Lasloom said in self-recorded videos the Philippine authorities had held her at Manila airport and confiscated her passport. The videos circulated widely on social media over the last two days.

“My name is Dina Ali and I’m a Saudi woman who fled Saudi Arabia to Australia to seek asylum,” she said in one video, adding she feared violence from any relatives who came to bring her back home.

“Please help me. I’m recording this video to help me and know that I’m real and I’m here.”

The woman did not say why she sought refuge abroad however there have been reports that she had fled abuse at the hands of her family.

The Saudi embassy in Manila issued a statement yesterday calling the case a “family matter” and added without elaborating that she had “returned with her relatives to the homeland”.

However eyewitnesses in Manila airport said Ali warned officials that if they sent her back to Saudi with her uncles, who had come to collect her, she would be “killed”.

Canadian Meagan Khan, who befriended Ali at the airport, posted on Facebook:

Dina told the airport workers that she was in danger the entire time. Several times she cried hysterically to them that she needed help. They ignored her. I saw myself they looked at her like she didn’t exist… She said she’s in danger and her uncles are coming to kill her and she needs to get to Australia.

When Khan asked airport staff why Ali’s passport had been confiscated and why her flight had been delayed, they replied: “They told me that they didn’t know more other than an important person called and told them to hold her documents and don’t allow her to leave.”

Saudi activists said Ali was forced onto a Saudi Arabia Airlines flight from Manila to Riyadh on Tuesday night.

She did not emerge at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh after the flight landed early yesterday morning, but multiple passengers told Reuters they had seen a woman being carried onto the plane screaming.

“I heard a lady screaming from upstairs. Then I saw two or three men carrying her. They weren’t Filipino. They looked Arab,” said one Filipino woman, who declined to give her name.

Several hashtags have been created in support of Ali including #SaveDinaAli, #HelpDinaAli and #IAmDinaAli…..

      They both involve Saudi Arabia and the Philippines and Muslims threats of murder against women, certainly. But Dina Ali was not heading for the Philippines per se; she was trying to escape to Australia. It sounds like her family wants to “Honor Kill” her.

      I rather expect that to be true, after they raped her for dishonoring the family. Poor woman. I wish we would stop allying ourselves with these evil people.

      God, I hope not–but you are probably correct. Certainly, the Saudi authorities will do nothing to protect her–in fact, they were almost certainly the ones who had her brought back.

      I am just sickened that the Filipinos went along with this.

    I have my doubts about this.

    As she was transiting the P.I. on her way to another country–why would Philippine government officials take her passport and detain her?

    Many questions.

    • DrSique says

      Apr 16, 2017 at 1:56 pm

      Perhaps at the behest of the Saudi Embassy. There are lots of Muslims in the Philippines who just might go off the reservation if they found out that their government went against Sharia and gave safe haven to a Saudi National. Let’s face it, an awful lot of governments are folding to the demands of Islam today. It needs to stop.

        The US made sure that South Africa was punished due to apartheid. The Islamic oppression has gone on for centuries and affected millions. But not apartheid, right?

      Whoever made that decision is likely a Muslim.

    Many Muslim women will need to run from honor-killing, but are they running from Islam? So, once offered asylum, will those same women sponsor their VICIOUS FAMILIES (that wanted to kill them) and then be honor-killed eventually in the country to which they fled?

    Will these Muslim asylum-seeking women in turn sponsor Muslims who are terrorists or polygamists or married to children or a host of other categories that Western countries don’t want?

    All Muslim women are victimized and enslaved by Islam. EVERYONE IN ISLAM COULD BE HONOR-KILLED FOR STEPPING OUT OF LINE.

    And I didn’t even mention TAQIYYA yet. Add TAQIYYA to asylum-seeking and ALL 1 billion plus Muslims will discover that they will be honor-killed if they don’t get ASYLUM.

    If Muslims do not definitively LEAVE Islam, their claim of persecution must be assumed to be TAQIYYA. Because of the PERNICIOUS Islamic doctrine of TAQIYYA, no word of a Muslim may ever safely be believed.

    • Oliver says

      Apr 15, 2017 at 9:18 pm

      Mortimer–I agree with your conclusions; and also- will they leave Islam if they are granted asylum.

      Probably not.

      Look at some of the fake crimes committed by Muslim women- because they violated Islamic mores. (NY- underage-18- out boozing it up; claimed had her slave garments torn by Trump supporters- was on JW); the Texas student-claimed beaten by Trump supporters (also JW-earlier-I forgot what she had been doing); LA. student; etc. yet all stay as Muslims.

      (The doctors-both parents doctor) in London, etc.

    This is not the first time a Saudi citizen has been abducted in another country, bundled onto an aircraft and returned to the Kingdom. They seem to have a specialist team of snatchers, with diplomatic passports and complicit airlines. There was a case of a Saudi student who converted to Christianity in New Zealand a couple of years ago. He also was mysteriously whisked away to Saudi Arabia. The extent to which Western governments are turning a blind eye needs to be investigated.

      Agree with you Baucent!

    • gravenimage says

      Apr 16, 2017 at 10:18 pm

      Very much agree, Baucent. Muslims in general and the Saudis in particular never want anyone to escape.

  7. Manny says

    Apr 15, 2017 at 10:38 pm

    Yes the case is actually “a family matter.” It just so happens that a family under Islam allows for the murder of freedom desiring children, especially if those children happen to be female. I do hope and pray they save this poor girl from her Muslim family, and may she see what real family love is under Christianity.

    • gravenimage says

      Apr 16, 2017 at 10:21 pm

      Yes–this is what a “family matter” is in Islam. *Ugh*.

    Where’s that big mouth Linda Sarsour when you need her? (Sarc off) That’s right you only hear from her when she’s spewing about how wonderful Shria Law is or how put upon the Palestinian people are because of big bad Israel. You most definitely won’t hear her stand up for this beautiful girl.

    • StacyGirl says

      Pretty soon she can have Malala as her protege. Both brave Muslim women. Snark.

    Christine Williams asks, “Why are leftist so-called feminists not taking to the streets to help women who have no voice and of who suffer the worst abuses in the Islamic world?”

    They don’t do it because it would be politically incorrect.

    And Islamophobic.

    Right?

    • TR says

      The Left has indoctrinated their subjects almost beyond a return to reasonable thinking people. Off to an Institution of higher learning go your 2017 High School Graduates and into the jaws of Leftist pro-Islamist collaborators who twist and ridicule the young minds onto their enabler pathway of radical thinking.

    • Jeanette says

      Apr 16, 2017 at 9:57 pm

      And because they are not about women; they are about money and power.

    “Saudi activists said Ali was forced onto a Saudi Arabia Airlines flight from Manila to Riyadh on Tuesday night.” Saudi Airlines force people on to their planes; United Airlines forces them off. I think it’s not a good ideal for anyone to fly Saudi Arabia Airlines.

    • Oliver says

      Apr 16, 2017 at 12:57 pm

      Doesn’t Saudi Airlines own a big chunk of Delta?

      asking-I think I saw that a few years ago.

    …………………………

    This is ominous. Is the Philippines bowing to Saudi influence?

    This *poor* woman. I wish she had made it to Australia.

      Apr 17, 2017 at 11:51 am

      Seems like this woman came from a family with $…and moneyed connections…

      Damn Philippines…Complete callousness and greed. Almost everyone seems to be in the pockets of the Saudis…

      How could anyone put a woman back on a plane who is in complete hysterics for good reason?…Ugh…

      This is so f*&%in’ sickening…I too, sure wish she had made it to Australia. All I can do is hope she will eventually get away for good.
