Of course I’d subscribed to all the myths about women being subjugated and how it was an evil and violent religion full of fanatics...

...she muttered from beneath her burkha, once they gave her permission to speak.

[SouthernFreebird]

Shes the kind of woman who marrys a deathrow inmate, or stays with a wife-beater. Abuse excites this type.....shes now ready to marry the murderous Islam.

[Consort]

Yvonne just wants to be part of the new emerging British majority.

[FR_addict]

I don't believe she was really kidnapped, but went on her own accord.

Kent Brockman: "Ladies and gentlemen, uh, we've just lost the picture, but what we've seen speaks for itself. The Corvair spacecraft has apparently been taken over -- 'conquered' if you will -- by a master race of giant space ants. It's difficult to tell from this vantage point whether they will consume the captive Earthman or merely enslave them. One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the ants will soon be here. And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to remind them as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves." (Deep Space Homer)

My treatment by the most brutal, evil regime in the world, is a total contrast to the treatment of those men being held in Camp X-Ray.

And of course she's been there, so she know exactly how the Gitmo detainees are being treated, right?

Let's see. Hot and cold running water. They're not being forcefed Bob Evans sausage and Smithfield hams (although I would, if I were there). Time to pray toward Mecca. Shade. A comfortable place to sleep.

Yeah. Sure. We're oppressing these numbskulls. Right.

Lady, go hide under your rock.

Answering a question on the reasons behind her conversion, Ridley said, “I made a promise to a Taliban cleric that I would study Islam"....

Hmmm....if she was such a "christian," why didn't she offer to study Islam if the Taliban cleric would study the New Testament? Hmmmm? Or had she already departed from Jesus?

[End Times Sentinel]

She sounds like a world class idiot. She should fit in well with her new co-religionists.

"“September 11 was the best and worst thing that happened to Islam,”

This is what just gets me. How muslims, even (particularly) 'moderate' modern ones living in the US seem to feel that the September 2001 Attacks on America were bad, but still beneficial to islam. Increasing awareness, interest in ..... blah blah blah.

[Moby Grape]

She said if she answered the Islamic "cleric" the wrong way she could be stoned....but she may convert to the religion that stones women to death....what a frickin moron.

[justshutupandtakeit]

A braindead journalist, how unusual.

[USMMA_83]

I saw the same report in one of the Pakistani newspapers last week. I didn't want to post it because ...well...it just pissed me off so much. This idiot woman has shit for brains. She takes her 9 year old daughter to Afghanistan! She is beyond words!!

I guess I didn't want to post the article because I assumed most Freepers would agree with my assessment of this complete dumb-ass, and there no point wasting any time discussing this idiot British woman. TO hell with her, and her kind.

[alloysteel]

Most of western Europe is subject to the same kind of mass conversion. When the Muslim populations within those countries reaches a certain critical mass, the chain reaction of thousands, then millions, finally giving up any pretense they ever WERE Christian, then permits the establishment of the sharia courts throughout the land.

Shall they then be able to reverse the trend, when it becomes obvious that the feeble and unassertative "liberal" thinking has not been able to withstand the overwhelming tide of darkness?

[kjenerette]

Wow! You have to wonder what religion guided the kidnappers/Islamists that set up the agenda for another Journalist named Danny Pearl. Wonder if she could have explained to him the 'wonders of Islam' and her road to conversion. Oh, wait a minute - if you convert to Islam - you live - if you don't - you are treated to a fate like Pearl.

Awww man, you are runing my day...."Islam is Peace", "Islam is Peace"...repeat after me sheeple..."Islam is Peace."

[tet68]

It WILL be interesting to see her reaction when she decides to convert FROM Islam

[Consort]

Shall they then be able to reverse the trend,...

Those sort of things don't ever seem to reverse. More likely, it will mutate into another form of infectious religion.
