She said that she didn't tell the truth on her Dutch asylum application. Specifically her age, name and where she had been. As far as her claim of an arranged marriage, there's no reason not to believe her. That's a common Muslim practice, particularly in third world countries.

As far as believing what her "family" now says, I take it with a grain of salt. Their Muslim "honor" has been violated by her and if they are like typical third world Muslim's they will say and do anything to restore their "honor". And the only way they can do that is kill her. She's had a price on her head for some time now.

I'll have to give her the benefit of the doubt, given that nobody has challenged her statement that she indeed publicly admmitted this in 2002. I only say 'doubt' because I can't find any reference to such a 2002 admission that dates any earlier than the current crisis - though I do find many other references to her in 2002 articles, mostly dealing with her going into hiding due to threats.

And look, I'm not gunning for this lady; she's definitely fighting against militant Islam, which is a big plus in my book. I'm just overly cautious before giving too many accolades to someone whose deception has become an issue.

And, I agree, she's not coming HERE illegally, so that's a non-issue.
