Was she murdered for violating Sharia norms regarding how women are to dress? The possibility cannot be ruled out, but the Western media is so avid to bury stories that make Islam look bad that we will likely never hear about it if it turns out to be the case.
“Iraqi TikTok star Umm Fahad shot dead in Baghdad,” by Aqeel Najim, Nechirvan Mando and Duarte Mendonca, CNN, April 27, 2024:
Iraqi social media star Ghufran Sawadi, better known as Umm Fahad, was shot dead outside her home in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, on Friday night, a Baghdad police source told CNN.
The attack took place in the Zayouna area east of Baghdad, and was captured on video by a surveillance camera and shared on social media. The video shows a gunman riding a motorcycle shooting and killing Sawadi on the spot. A Baghdad police source confirmed the authenticity of the video to CNN.
The country’s Interior Minister announced on Friday that it was “forming a specialized work team to find out the circumstances of the killing of a woman known on social media by unknown assailants.”
Sawadi was popular on TikTok, where she shared videos of herself dancing to pop music in form-fitting clothes. In the past, these videos were deemed inappropriate by Iraq’s judiciary. Sawadi was sentenced to six months in prison for “the crime of producing and publishing several films and videos containing obscene and indecent language, violating public decency and morals,” an Iraqi judiciary statement said.
Other Iraqi social media personalities have previously been targeted in deadly attacks….

Iran has sentenced a rapper to death because he defended women.
Where and when mozlums are involved, there is no justice.
When they commit terror, the authorities accept that they are mental cases and put them in a nice cushy bed; or allow them to live on after a death sentence while cashing in on their notoriety.
When mozlums are the “authority,” they sentence everyone to death.

Years back, when I first started reading Jihad Watch, I thought that perhaps Robert Spencer was “overly cynical”.
I quickly learned that he was spot-on – and that the vast majority of Westerners were totally clueless.

And to think of all the American blood and treasure spent to defend this Sharia state. A big shout out to George W. ‘fredo’ Bush for making it all possible.

Beneath the Veil of Consciousness,
Likely the most costly statement – in blood and treasure – ever made by a US president.
And we are still paying…
