West Bank Family Upset by MySpace No-Show

NABLUS, West Bank (AP) - The mother of a West Bank man who invited a 16-year-old American to the Mideast to get married says she is distraught that the teenager has returned home and hopes to bring the couple together.

Sana Jinzawi says she was waiting at the airport in Tel Aviv to pick up Katherine Lester, who met her 20-year-old son Abdullah on the popular MySpace.com Web site.

Lester had boarded a flight to Israel last week after slipping out of her mother's house in Gilford, Mich. But Sana Jinzawi said by telephone from her West Bank home in Jericho Wednesday that her son was heartbroken and insisted the two are in love.

"She was going to sign a marriage contract as soon as she got here," the mother said, adding she told Lester to "bring a pink dress for the engagement party and a white dress for the wedding."

"She wanted to convert to Islam and wear the head covering and live with us and adopt our culture," Sana Jinzawi said.

Abdullah Jinzawi, who works in his father's business delivering goods to minimarkets, is no longer giving interviews. But in a phone interview with WNEM-TV in Saginaw, Mich., on Saturday, he said he met Lester on the Web seven months ago, that he was a wealthy businessman and that he wanted to marry her. He said he sent her the money for the flight.

Sana Jinzawi said five other Jericho residents had brought American girls to Jericho in recent years and that all the couples now live in the U.S.

Sana Jinzawi says her son and Lester have been in touch since the teenager returned to Michigan. "Neither of them are giving up on each other," she said.

So bascially she is admitting that he is a pedophile. (Age of consent laws)

Exactly, her (16 year old girl) family really dodged a bullet...if that girl had made it to the West Bank. IMHO, they might not have got her back.

"Minimarkets"? What? White Hen Pantries? 7-11's?

Just lends itself to more stereotyping. American girls - be FOREWARNED.........

Something is completely rotten about this story. The girl's mother got her a passport under the impression she was heading to Canada.

What mother of a 16-year-old girl would let her go alone to Canada?

For that matter, what mother of a 16-year-old girl doesn't know what her daughter's doing on MySpace?

If he were a true muslim, he would have wanted to marry a teenage boy.

"She wanted to convert to Islam and wear the head covering and live with us and adopt our culture," Sana Jinzawi said.

"Soon after, she would joyously train up her many sons (allah willing)
to strap bombs onto themselves and make glorious jihad! What fool would
not envy such a life? After a few beatings and the threat of being stoned
to death, we know she would be most content as a fine muslim woman!"

I know every keystroke my daughter makes on MySpace. Privacy be damned.

What mother of an 18 year old girl let's her daughter go off unchaperoned to Aruba?

Hope she doesn't mind giving up driving, voting, going to the store by herself, showing any sign of equality or having any say in the marriage, etc, etc...

These parents should get get down on their kness and thank God that they had the good fortune that their daughter was stopped before getting all the way to her desired destination.

I shudder to think of what a living hell that poor girl's life would have become.

My God, what a close call-her parents really need to monitor her internet use from now on-I've heard some other horror stories about that myspace, one of them from a neighbor-but nothing as chilling as having a daughter run away to marry into that primitive, woman-abusing culture.
