Well, yes, the Taliban raped me, but they also respected me — they are not monsters [Andy McCarthy]

From the Brussels Journal comes the mind-blowing story of a left-wing Dutch journalist, Joanie de Rijke, who went to Afghanistan to conduct a sympathetic interview with Taliban jihadists who had just killed 10 French troops. Naturally, she was abducted and serially raped for six days. And now she is angry ... not at the chief Taliban thug — who showed her "respect," though, regrettably, "he could not control his testosterone" — but at the Dutch and Belgian governments who refused to pay the $2 million ransom the jihadists demanded. And of course, in the Netherlands, the media and the government are furious at Geert Wilders for pointing out the obvious:

This story is a perfect illustration of the moral decline of our elites. They are so blinded by their own ideology that they turn a blind eye to the truth. Rape? Well, I would put this into perspective, says the leftist journalist: the Taliban are not monsters. Our elites prefer to deny reality rather than face it. One would expect: a woman is being raped and finds this unbearable. But this journalist is not angry because the Muslim involved also showed respect. Our elites, whether they are politicians, journalists, judges, subsidy gobblers or civil servants, are totally clueless. Plain common sense has been dumped in order to deny reality. It is not just this raped journalist who is suffering from Stockholm syndrome, but the entire Dutch elite. The only moral reference they have is: do not irritate the Muslims – that is the one thing they will condemn.

Last Fall, de Rijke was traveling in Afghanistan for P-Magazine. Dressed in a burka, she tried to get in touch with the Taliban to do a human interest story about them. She managed to contact a group of Taliban fighters who had ambushed and killed ten French soldiers in August. De Rijke arranged an interview with Ghazi Gul, the commander of the group. When she and her interpreter arrived for the interview, however, Gul abducted her. He sent the interpreter back to Kabul with a message for P-Magazine demanding a ransom of $2 million for the journalist or he would slit her throat.

During her captivity, de Rijke was raped repeatedly by Gul. In her book In de handen van de Taliban, which she published last month, she writes that the Taliban commander

“could not control his testosterone. I had the impression that afterwards he regretted what had happened. He knew it was wrong.”


The noble savage even “invited her to a threesome,” i.e. to have sex with him and one of his three wives. “Ghazi was a very religious man. It is all so hypocritical. He was a complete fool,” she writes.

Because the Dutch and Belgian authorities refused to pay, P-Magazine raised 100.000 euros and offered it to Ghazi in return for the journalist’s release. The commander accepted. De Rijke was freed after six days in exchange for the money, which, says de Rijke, was transferred to the Taliban with the aid of the Dutch authorities.


LOL

Could she be any more of a nut. Such pathetic, brain-washed people deserve what they get when glamorizing the terrorists.
 
It is so comforting to know that right-wing people know everything. They know how people should react in situations they themselves have never experienced. Right-wing men know what all women should do. .. even how they should experience pregnancy and birth.

Perhaps it is that all-knowing wisdom that led Barack Obama to a resoinding defeat by the right-wing, and why the US Congress is dominated by the right-wing, and why the American people are so enamoured by the genius of the right-wing that the Republican Party is growing by leaps and bounds.

Thank "god" for the genius of the right-wing.
 
This story is a perfect illustration of the moral decline of our elites.

I'm just wondering how she qualifies as an "elite", and how she is immoral? You conservatives these days just use the word "elite" to describe everything that you oppose. As for the immoral thing, well everyone knows that conservatives blame rape victims for the rape.

A Rothschild heir went on TV and said she opposes Obama because he was such an elitist. It's that kind of thing. Utterly retarded. You guys don't even think before you say things.

Does anybody else see the irony here?
 
It's called stockholm syndrome Epic.



Yes, I'll be like a conservative and hate on rape victims suffering from stockholm syndrome. Or, as a conservative would put it, a dumb slut.
Strawman BS.

Conservatives said no such thing. But heck, at least they respected her...

What? muslim rape is holy becaus allah said so? You're sad.
 
Bac that woman is fucking nuts.

Defend her and lose all credibility.

My brother, I'm not looking for credibility, approval, applause, or even a pat on the back. I post what I think and let the chips fall where they may.

Whether this woman is "fucking nuts" or not this is not something that would be posted by the left or by people with brains who understand that unless you've been in her situation, you don't have enough information to determine what her state of mind should be.

Here's the key ..

This story is a perfect illustration of the moral decline of our elites.

This is nothing more than another right-winger using a tragedy to vent his disgust of people who don't think as he does .. then yet another right-winger, Webbway, who always trolls for tragedies, comes along as passes it to you.

Why would I need to seek "credibility" from such easily led people?

Ever heard of Stockholm Syndrome?

How do you KNOW it doesn't apply here?

So you agree worldviews like this reporters are most easily explained by psychological dysfunction?
 
What? muslim rape is holy becaus allah said so? You're sad.

Perhaps you should be talking to the person who said "muslim rape if holy" .. which I suspect can only be found when you look in the mirror. I've never remotely suggested such an idiotic thing.

But I do understand that when you don't have an argument, you'll invent one and argue with yourself.

Nice misquoted sentence fragment. Douchebag.
 
LOL.

AHZ went to the heart of it, the dude who wrote this article was taking advantage of a woman in the throes of serious psychological issues. Instead of excoriating the woman, he directed his point at the correct target. Nobody should be reading this, because it shouldn't have been written. An attempt to excuse them from their inhumane acts should have been passed up by the editors if nothing else.

Stockholm syndrome notwithstanding, nobody should allow themselves to continue to be used this way by going along with it.

Sane people will read it and accept it for what it is .. sensational Esquire "journalism" at the expense of a tragedy.

Then again, others will come along and attempt to use it to make a political statement.

No news here.

Why did you post?

Nice m.o. brother, get your ass kicked then demean the entire thread when you lose.

Hilarious!

And yet those who print the story allow themselves to be used as a propaganda tool for the people who raped her.

Sad.
