’90-Day Fiancé’ Star Converts to Islam, Says ‘I Make My Own Path,’ Islam Disagrees

Aug 20, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

My latest in PJ Media:

“I really make my own path.”

So said, according to Newsweek, the star of what is apparently another reality TV show, 90-Day Fiancé: “Columbus, Ohio, native Avery Mills,” who is featured on the show along with “her 24-year-old Syrian love, Omar Albakkaur.”

We are informed that Avery Mills is a strong, independent woman: “Avery, 19, left her faith as a Christian to become a follower of Islam—even though most of her family and friends objected. She joined a Muslim dating site soon after, which is how she met Omar.”

Newsweek goes on to say that “when viewers first meet” Avery, “she’s traveling to Lebanon with her mother to meet Omar for the first time. In a teaser for the new season, Avery gushes that he’s holding a woman’s hand for their first time. It’s up to Avery to decide if she wants to leave America—and all her family and friends—to be with her fiancé in a war-torn country.”

How romantic. What could possibly go wrong? Nothing but “Islamophobia,” as far as Avery Mills and Newsweek are concerned:

Avery’s story is sure to garner attention, but she doesn’t care about the negative things people have to say about her faith or her decision to marry Omar. “I have never cared about what people thought in the past. No one can sway my decision on my choices,” she told Newsweek in a phone interview. “I really make my own path and I’ll tell them that.”

Wonderful. But what will Avery Mills think, and what will she do, when she discovers that many Muslims do not believe that a woman should make her own path?

The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them” (4:34).

    What could possibly go wrong with this very naive girl and her trip to Lebanon! ??
    It will certainly be a tough life lesson for a brash uneducated nineteen year old!
    May she find knowledge and strength before she travels to a Muslim country and disappears!

      Many naïve Western women travel to those countries and either disappear, have a baby and leave it there or they escape after other horrendous abuses occur. Western victims are so humiliated that even if they escape, they say nothing about it.

      Phyllis Chesler wrote about her HORRENDOUS experience of torture, starvation and near-murder in Afghastlistan.

      She joined a Moslem dating site ? Surprised one exits.

      OK, so when will there be a gay Moslem dating site ? (It would be full of people wanting to commit suicide from a crane or high building.)

      No, Jay, let her go, forever. It is her decision to give up freedom and democracy and she will not be welcomed back. That only happens in Canada where Justin Trudeau rewards ISIS killers with millions of dollars after he brings them to Canada. He is also working secretly to bring Jihad Jack to Canada to become a Liberal supporter.

    I wonder why on earth she was dumb enough to convert to Islam, in the first place?

  3. FYI says

    Aug 20, 2019 at 12:35 pm

    Yes Indeed islam disagrees.

    So does allah’s koran:her testimony is now HALF that of a muslim man k2:282 due to what muhammed said was “the DEFICIENCY of a woman’s mind”{sahih bukhari #2658}

    Even ilhan omar will always be only worth HALF a muslim man:allah and muhammed and the koran insist on this.

    Most muslimas go to hell anyway{sahih muslim 241}.
    Their crime?Being “ungrateful”{takfurna}

    All that islamic virtue-signalling hijab wearing for nothing:for a fake pagan Arab god al LAH who teaches that women are inferior.
    This stupid woman Avery Mills:like most silly western women enamored by that hijab,she appears determined to conform to muhammed’s stererotype.

    islam is for those without logic,common sense or reason.
    {but,..but..those hijabs look so chic don’t they?They are worn in honor of a god who says women are only HALF the value of a man,not equal and stupid}

    “women are compared to slaves and camels with regard to the evil in them”
    Abu Dawud 2155

    “Aiaha said to muhammed:”you have made us equal to the dogs and the asses”
    Sahih Muslim 4:1039

    And Linda Sarsour tells us muhammed was a feminist!

    muhammed with his 9 year old “wife”{who he raped},muhammed who said women have a “deficiency of the mind”

    Any woman who converts to islam is incredibly naive,foolish and blind

        As Mary facetiously observes, Muslim women have only half a brain … hey, your prophet said so! Don’t blame Mary for quoting him!

        • mortimer says

          Aug 21, 2019 at 10:54 am

          Now that Avery Mills has surrendered half of her brain to Islam, she will need a Muslim male to ‘guide’ her and dominate her as well as ‘correct’ her with beatings when she is thinking too much for herself or trying to ‘make her own path’.

          Don’t you know, Avery? Islam does not allow women to ‘make their own path’. Women in Islam are not considered smart enough to do that.

  4. CogitoErgoSum says

    Aug 20, 2019 at 12:54 pm

    She is taking a really big step in her life without giving it much thought. She is going to meet the man in person for the first time and then is going to marry him three days later?
    What about his family? What about his habits and quirks? What if he smells like a wet goat all the time? What if he has a dual personality? This is such a bad idea on so many levels — even without regard to Islam.

        Avery Mills should immediately read Phyllis Chesler’s autobiographical: “An American Bride in Kabul: A Memoir” – Hardcover – (2013)

        Islam tortured and then tried to murder Phyllis Chesler after she became involved with a Muslim.

        • gravenimage says

          She should–but I doubt she will.

    • Rufolino says

      Aug 21, 2019 at 4:10 am

      Unfortunately the world is full of foolish people like this woman, who knows little and understands less.

      In a short time she will be confronted by reality, later she will want to convert back, only to find she is ideologically trapped.

    90 Day Fiance and shows like it amount to slo-mo beauty contests. I remember the beauty contest in norther Nigeria a decade or so ago, that one ended in mass rioting in protest over the bikinis worn by the beauties. That wasn’t too bad, only several dozen people were killed, most of them of course Christian bystanders.

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 20, 2019 at 4:13 pm

      Yes–ugly, ugly stuff.

      Then, a female Muslim journalist there received death threats, because she defended the beauty pageant, saying that the “Prophet” would likely have married several of the contestants (which had to be one of the creepiest defenses of beauty contests ever, but never mind).

    “I have never cared about what people thought in the past. No one can sway my decision on my choices,” she told Newsweek in a phone interview. “I really make my own path and I’ll tell them that.”

    Some people are just like that: if they feel force in one direction they’ll reflexively push harder in the opposite direction. Even if it is detrimental for them, or their interests, or the people around them.

    “As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them” (4:34).

    Toronto area Imam Omar Subedar has the answer. He is kind enough to explain that it is a Qur’an passage that appears to suggest men may beat their wives lightly.
    https://www.jihadwatch.org/2019/08/leader-of-new-peoples-party
    The listener is presumably supposed to think “Oh, that’s all right then”.
    Beaten wife after beaten wife tell a different story, one of pain, abuse, and fear.

    “I really make my own path and I’ll tell them that.”
    Not so fast, dear.
    “For things which have been stipulated in the texts of Islam, the Ummah [muslim community] possesses no power except to acknowledge and obey,”
    Ruling (fatwa) by Salah al Sawy, the secretary-general of the Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America (AMJA) whose Arabic title is the Group of Lawyers for Imposing Sharia in America.
    He did not invent this: it is Koran 33:36:
    ” It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision.”

    Can Avery Mills truly decide for herself in Islam?
    n
    The Koran says she may not decide for herself : “It is not for a believer, man or woman, that they should have any option in their decision when Allah and his Messenger have decreed a matter.” K.33.36

    The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) said that not covering the face is a “shortcoming” and suggested that any Muslims who advocate being uncovered could be guilty of rejecting Islam.

    In a statement published on its website the MCB, warns: “We advise all Muslims to exercise extreme caution on this issue, since denying any part of Islam may lead to disbelief.

    “Not practising something enjoined by Allah and his Messenger… is a shortcoming. Denying it is much more serious.”

    Avery, Islam makes everyone a slave.

    ‘A slave is someone who may not express his own thoughts.’ (Euripedes)

    Ignorance about the nature of Islam/sharia law just created a dangerous televised social media event. I think this type of entertainment is ludicrous. A woman who has to decide to marry in three days for entertainment for the masses to influence a public desire unaware of the danger she has agreed too while enjoying the sudden fame, many will try to copy. This could end badly. If she ever leaves or changes her mind it will not be easy.

    I think we should check back with her in a few years and see how it worked out for her, if she is still alive.

  17. IanB says

    Aug 21, 2019 at 5:44 am

    The media company producing this ludicrous show must have a duty of care to those taking part. In English law it would; I do not know the position in US law. This issue has arisen with The Jeremy Kyle Show and Love Island in the UK. Contractual indemnity clauses would not avoid this duty. A lawsuit against the company would be inevitable if she came to any harm. She is naive, stupid and stubborn, negative qualities likely to lead to her demise in Dar-al-Islam, but she should be protected by the law. The media company responsible should nip this in the bud before she goes.

    More – what do her parents think of it?

    This is what being a sequestered, spoiled American gets some. It affords them the ability to live in PC Fantasy Land. Knowing nothing but safety, security, full belly, spoiled rotten, and taking everything for granted. Naive people like this foolishly believe the whole world thinks the way they do and just wants to hold hands and sing songs around the campfire, then hop on their unicorns and go for a ride through the flowers that have smiley faces for blossoms. Wait till Abdul gets her on his home turf and see how strong and independent she is. She won’t be in the Jezebel Spirit West where women are handed whatever they want by misandrous courts and media. She’ll experience the total opposite where women are little more than chattel.

  19. Agostino Armo Pellegrini says

    Aug 21, 2019 at 8:10 am

    The internet is full of muslim women that tried to make their “own path” and ended up dead, sadly. Here’s a vid about a muslim that married the man she loved and got stoned to death by her own family for it, and she was pregnant at the time. This is what islam does to the brain. It’s impossible to be a faithful muslim and be normal, you just can’t do it. You can either pretend to be a good muslim and live your life as a fraud or live it faithfully and be a nut job, either way your life will be dominated by a demon that may or may not be real. What a life.

    “A strong, independent woman” who met her “24-year-old Syrian love, Omar Albakkaur” on a Muslim dating site. I have news for her. Strong, independent women in Islam are soon forced off that path and made submissive.

    But it’s her choice, and I will not have the slightest bit of sympathy for her when she realizes the big mistake she has made.

    This is the result of the constant white washing and continuous ignoring of MS-media of what real islam is. Young people are being taught Islam isn’t all that bad and that the negative image of islam is purely a result of al the evil Islamophobic fear mongering of right wingers… young people don’t hear the truth and are being misled in a huge way. I fear for this girl’s life, and my sympathies for her family. What a way to tell your family about your plans to move… insanity at large.
