War Correspondent Says Mosul Safer for Women than Sweden
Breitbart ^ | 3/7/17 | Virginia Hale

Posted on 03/07/2017 5:03:09 PM PST by DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis

Award-winning war correspondent Magda Gad has tweeted from Mosul that the war-torn city is safer for women and more peaceful than Sweden’s capital city.

“There’s no law on the Islamic veil here, and it’s safer for a lone woman to be outside than Stockholm,” the war journalist said on Twitter.

Asked by another user to clarify whether she “feel[s] safer outdoors in Iraq than Stockholm”, the Expressen reporter — who has been covering the fight against Islamic State in Iraq since June last year, said “Yep”.

Gad said Stockholm on a weekend evening is “much worse than any night in Iraq”, in response to a suggestion by the user ‘Per Anders Englund’ that it “can’t be easy being a good looking woman” in Sweden’s capital with “groping” men about.

In another tweet, the multi-award winning journalist described Iraq as “quiet, apart from the war”.

“In cities unaffected by fighting, it’s very quiet and no one bothers you when you walk the streets,” she wrote.

Wow, she’s going to have all the libturds hating on her, from Sweden to the USA and everywhere else. She’s revealed the Big Lie that the MSM has been trumpeting against President Trump’s remark on Sweden.

She may need personal security to protect against deranged leftists.

It will be interesting to see how they treat her comments. Maybe they'll use the Clinton favorite "nuts and sluts" to attack her.

So true. She just popped their bubble and they will be mad.

Yeah, I imagine no guy will bother her. She probably wears the whole burka thing too, not that she needs it. What an ugly cow.

The woman makes a sensible comment favoring traditional moral standards, and you respond by attacking her looks. Remarks like that bring disrepute to serious conservatives.

I don’t see it that way. I see it as a praise of Muslim society and a claim that it’s safe to walk the streets at night in a Muslim dominated city.

Ok. Then criticize her for that instead of her looks.

I agree that we see attacks on how a person looks, all too often on freerepublic.

To me, it shows that the poster has not thought of a better argument.

Artemus had a better argument. It is good policy to use it.

In Mosul she is covered and not walking without her owner. The multitudes of islamists tried to explain what they were doing.. rape conquering. The rape fatwa does apply in mosul.. you can’t be raped if you are chattel. Besides if there are not male witnesses, you weren’t raped. So I supposed it doesn’t exist in Islam.

Her point on the veil and the dangers of so called refugees are valid, nonetheless I find this a bit disingenuous. There are plenty of places in Iraq where even as a man you would be captured and killed immediately. I’m not sure if she has handlers, if she is only restricted to the “green zone” or perhaps she blends in with the locals.
