A new development in the work I do for Muslim girls under threat of honor violence and and honor murder, as told in my new book: FATWA: Hunted in AMERICA.
My AFDI Jessica Mokdad Human Rights conference on April 29, 2012 in Dearborn, Michigan was the first (and only) conference of its kind dedicated to increasing awareness of honor killings and gendercide under sharia. When we first called the conference, the only attention the media paid to it at all was to give a platform to Jessica Mokdad’s family, which was angry that Jessica’s name was being used and claiming that Jessica’s murder was not an Islamic honor killing. Jessica’s father threatened to sue me. But now Jessica’s mother has contacted me to confirm that it was indeed an honor killing and to thank me for standing for her daughter.
She Facebook-messaged me:

My daughter is Jessica mom dad and she was killed by her step father a muslim from Iraq, in Warren, Michigan. I was muslim at that time, but I felt I was brain washed into it. I’m a Christian again Thank JESUS! I believe you had a meeting here in Dearborn in 2011. I wish I was thinking then the way I do now. I’d like to thank you for all u do! I hate Islam and everything it stands for! I was in in for 16 years! I regret every minute! God bless you and all u do!
We always knew this to be true, but now the Muslims and leftists who complained about my event are exposed as liars. I named the conference after Jessica because she was the victim of an honor killing. Her family should have been standing with us instead of denying this. Darwin Jiles, a close friend of Jessica and a powerful speaker at our conference, said, “Jessica was someone who wanted to have liberties, like every other young lady that is born in America outside of the traditions of Islam are able to do, to pursue her own happiness, and to pursue her own dreams.” About Jessica’s stepmother, Cassandra, who claimed that it was not an honor killing, Jiles said, “Cassandra really is portraying a false picture. And Pamela has every right to place the conference to be named after Jessica in regards to this, because it was Islam that caused her death.”
I recently spoke with Wendy Wasinski, Jessica’s mother. She has left Islam and returned to Catholicism. She told me that Jessica’s stepfather, Rahim Alfetlawi, who murdered Jessica, “wanted us to pray and learn to fast and all this, but he wasn’t doing it.”
Wendy recalled Alfetlawi’s attitude toward Jessica: “He would yell at her a lot…it was mental abuse. He was a mental abuser, big time. He would just play all these head and mind games. He made us believe that he was psychic.”
He backed this up with subterfuge. Says Wendy: “I found a little tape recorder. … He had been recording conversations with me and my daughter, and I’d get mad at him. I’m like, ‘What’s the point of that?’ And I’m like, ‘So, what are you trying to tell me? You’re not really psychic, then?” And he’d, like, blow up and get all mad about it. I’m like, ‘Why do you have to find out what we’re talking about? Like, nobody can have privacy?'” She adds: “It was all control. It was all about, you know, him controlling both of us.”
There was also some physical abuse. Wendy said that Alfetlawi “had slapped her a couple of times here and there over the years, but it wasn’t anything hard or continuous.” But that runs counter to what Jessica’s texts revealed during the trial. Jessica wrote, “He’s obsessed with me. He would punish me, and make me cry every day. I’d like to see his ass beat like he’s done to me all these years.”
And Alfetlawi was deceptively nonchalant about Jessica not wearing the hijab: “He was so calm and cool and he told me, ‘Don’t worry about it if she takes the scarf off now. We just need her to be, you know, comfortable.’ He didn’t blow up like I thought he was gonna. In front of me, he kept it a cool, a calm, and a cool collected attitude.” But Jessica’s texts reveal something else: Mokdad wrote that Alfetlawi made a surprise visit and “found out I don’t wear a scarf.”
Alfetlawi’s outward calm may have been an attempt to cover for his own actions. “She told me the night before she was killed that he had raped her,” and Jessica told her mother, “[I]f I tell you, he would kill you, mom.” “They couldn’t prove it, obviously, because of the, you know, time that elapsed. And when I told her, you know, don’t tell anybody, just keep cool, because I was devising a way to get away from him, and then me and her go away.” But Alfetlawi discovered this plan: “I think he knew that. And I think that, that’s why he left within two hours after we talked, me and her. … And I think he wanted to shut her up, if you want my honest opinion. I think he wanted to shut her up.”
Alfetlawi kidnapped her; he abducted her and forced her to return to his Minnesota home. Wendy explained: “He threatened us both. And my mom overheard him tell her, ‘If you don’t come with me right now … I’ll kill you.’ My mom testified to that. He was nuts. He really was.”
“Nuts” is an understatement. He forced Wendy to put spyware on Jessica’s computer and told Jessica he would kill Wendy. Wendy recalls: “He was like, ‘I’ll bring your mom in front of you and I’ll kill her.’ That killed me, too, inside, thinking that my daughter was protecting me.”
Jessica left at that point. Recalls Wendy: “Well, she had moved out[.] … First, she was with her dad – her real dad, Mohammed. And then there was a problem between his new wife, which was only three years older than Jessica[.] … And I think he was jealous because Jess had a new relationship. They were becoming bonded, her and her father, biological father; they were becoming very close. And I think that bothered her. Because she was taking her time off … [y]ou know, time from him and her. … So, basically, when I came to visit at Christmastime, I said, ‘Okay. Grandma said you can come and live there, you and Mikey,’ her boyfriend. Her husband in Islam. Whatever you want to call it.”
Wendy continues: “I helped her move[.] … I moved them to my mom’s house, and at that point, she was living with my mom and helping her and stuff like that. And they actually enjoyed being around each other, and, you know, it was nice. It was good for them, and they helped my grandma, too, because my grandma lives only a mile away. So it actually worked out nicely.” But the difficulties continued: “It was hard, though, because she was trying to get close to her real dad, but his wife just … couldn’t tolerate it.”
What’s more, Jessica’s biological father had been physically abusive to Wendy. She recently discovered that he had had a son by another woman. The son told Wendy that he didn’t want to have anything to do with his father anymore. “And I said, ‘Well, I don’t blame you, you know, ’cause he was physically abusive to me.’ … I have a scar on my – under my nose from him throwing a stick at me.”
While living with her grandmother, Jessica became more observant in Islam. “As far as I knew, even when she was with her boyfriend at my mom’s, she said that they even fasted together and stuff, and I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s great,’ you know? So I guess she tried, but she wanted the scarf off. She wanted to feel what it was like without it, and I was like, ‘Okay,’ you know? At first, I was mad[.] … I was more showing that I was mad about it, just because, you know, at the time, I was into it.”
But Alfetlawi told Wendy: “‘Just leave her.’ He’d tell me this on my own. Like, she’s here in Michigan, and we were in Minnesota, and he’d tell me, ‘Just calm down. Don’t worry about it. Let her do what she wants to do. She’ll … [y]ou know, she’ll come around.’ See, these were the things that he told me, and that’s why it shocked me. I felt like it was ’cause he wanted to shut her up. That’s what I felt about, about the rape, because if anybody really knew that he had raped her, that would be the biggest disgrace.”
Wendy recalls that Jessica “was very kind-hearted, you know? Like, she would help my grandma, my mom, all the time[.] … The elderly, you know?” When Alfetlawi killed her, Jessica was going to clean Wendy’s grandmother’s apartment. “She’d help clean out my grandma’s apartment. My grandma died eleven days before that. … She was helping. ‘Cause my mom was there and my cousin, and then him and her, and they were just cleaning out the apartment, because she had a senior apartment, and so everything was going back to my mom’s house in the garage. … She was a good kid. She really was.”
Wendy recalls: “He would’ve killed me, too, because he begged me to come with him.” This was on the day he murdered Jessica. “And I said ‘no,’ because I hate going. Wait 12 hours’ drive and only stay for one or two days, because I couldn’t get off work. I said, I wanna go there for at least five days. At least. You know, my mom, my – my grandma, my – my daughter. I can’t. I can’t just be there for one day and say, ‘Bye. See ya later.’ You know, I can’t. It pulls at my heart, you know? That’s what I told him. But he begged me to come there. I often wonder what would’ve happened.”
Wendy concluded: “I thank God every day I’m not in that relationship anymore.” She gave me some advice for other women who convert to Islam and marry Muslims: “I’m totally against it. They have no idea what they’re in for. I don’t care what they tell you. They can sweet-talk you, they can promise you the world, but that’s all going to change mighty fast … either when they marry you or get you pregnant, or whatever else, you know?” Wendy told one woman considering marrying an Egyptian Muslims, “Being with a Muslim person is not what you think. Believe me, I poured my heart and soul into every text to, you know, try to reason with her, to try to save her. I told her, it’ll be the worst mistake of your entire life if you go over there and marry him.”

“But now Jessica’s mother has contacted me to confirm that it was indeed
an honor killing and to thank me for standing for her daughter.” …
***
And this is why we hate the ideology – and not necessarily the ‘believer’ or ‘drone.’
As Jesus pointed out, ‘forgive them Father for they know not what they do …’
While few may be saved out of this vile and determined hate ideology called Islam, we should always pray that more will come out of it. I would dare say any movement out of Islam is a move in the right direction.
And thank God Pamela is still with us to accept Wendy’s apology!
So then let us all know how you are going to solve the problem? Education, psychologists, throwing money at it? This is a war of conquest (just in case you missed it) and EVERY muslim is either a soldier or a potential soldier. So we listen to you and we do not shoot back is that it? No one wants to kill every muslim. BUT if that is what it takes to rid the world or islam then so be it. I can easily agree with your ethical POV but it is such idealistic morality that has placed us in this mess. Muslims see almost ALL western virtues as weaknesses to be exploited and with the help of the left they do so easily. I can see here that you have NEVER been exposed to islam as if you had your view might be slightly different. Spend a few months in Northern Nigeria(if you are game) and find out.
To combat this invasion and brianwashing by Islam, a combination of education and voting in right wing politicians are required.
We now have far too many leftist judges and school teachers – thanks to Obama’s policies!
These leftwing judges will simply over-rule President Donald Trump using some legal technicality.
It’s practically impossible for Trump to pass any legislation which America needs!

Great to see she finally woke up. Pamela should use this to prove those who oppose her support to victims of islamic persecution when they realise the truth they decide their foolish ignorance of it.
When citizens are organised , aware and willing to fight this using social, Legal methods its possible to win against the Islamonazis just as Parents of san diego school did http://tinyurl.com/y8yzso88
Its a lesson on how to fight back and win. Its far more difficult in Europe due to Pro-islam Left/liberal Loons running the govt.

Oh, well now I am sure the media that “misunderstood” (note the quotes) the nature of Jessica’s murder will issue corrections and will engage in serious introspection about how such errors can be prevented in the future.
I’d write at more length, but I want to contact the tooth fairy to see if she reimburses for lost adult teeth.
As far as I am concerned, those who denied the honor killing’s nature of Jessica’s murder- and its connection to Islam- are complicit in that and subsequent Islamic honor killings.

That this happened, let alone on U.S. soil, is a travesty. It is a testament that all the people around Jessica who either didn’t take her seriously, or they just didnt care. Somewhere there is another ‘Jessica’ trying to warn someone of the exact same danger. Will anyone listen the next time before it’s too late.
Unless I’m very much mistaken, it was a regular, public county fair. Just a lot of muzz in attendance because of the nature of the locality.
When Christians, including at least one ex-Muslim Christian, were passing out literature and trying to evangelize, a crowd of muzz gathered and began to verbally abuse the Christians, then even to throw rocks at them and threaten them.
When the Christian victims called the police, muzz cops showed up and arrested the Christian victims rather than their attackers.
So on American soil we literally had political prisoners – jailed for being Christian and preaching the gospel at a public fair.
This is a completely different situation from organizers of an (hypothetical) Islamic fair on private land asking police to remove outsiders because they were uninvited.
There is no accounting for attraction: An equation would be more complex than Einstein’s General Relativity equations.

Vindicated. Much admiration and gratitude for the work you do unpublicised with muslim girls under threat, and for fearlessly speaking out about the risks they undergo. Admirable.

It is a direct part of the invasion plan. With the rife illegal gender abortion muslims have boys ~90% of the time and this is desired as each one will marry a non muslim and demand conversion(as do the girls). While courting they behave like gentlemen and thanks to the sharia bank they are ALWAYS flush with cash. But once you are a muslim bride the act is over. The secularism amongst the less educated or more stupid young women is the primary problem here as having a serious religion at least created resistance to conversion.
Muslims are usually on their best behaviour whenever they are in the minority.
They show their true colors when they are in a Muslim majority nation.

Women are naturally attracted to masculinity and to masculine men who exhibit it.
While most muzz men are traditionally raised either as spoiled babies or as victims of abuse, and hence often act as insecure, jealous, abusive grown-up brats when they have reached adulthood, they are socialized to be alternately aggressive and superficially macho on the one hand, and suavely polite on the other.
Women who are surrounded by Western men who were raised as victims of leftist pseudo-feminist attacks in the schools, are used to men who are outwardly overly docile and often somewhat feminized in their behavior.
Also, Western men of a certain generation were raised in the hippy era, when the niceties of traditional politeness were denounced as being “no longer relevant”, “Victorian”, “Neanderthal”, “patriarchal”, “sexist”, etc. So these men sometimes have some rough edges in their personal deportment.
So the Western woman can mistake the fawning outward politeness of the muzz charmer/seducer, combined with his fake-machismo, for healthy masculine self-confidence, when they are actually the opposite.
Desperate for signs of the real thing, she falls for surface glitter, by having a personal masculinity detector that is miscalibrated due to the depredations of the cultural Marxists on generations of young males from her own culture.
And, of course, in a world where racism is the worst, and almost the only, sin, dating and/or marrying someone of another culture and/or skin color is virtue-signaling.

You you stayed with him after all the signs of him being a violent person?
Violence is all part and parcel of the colourful, multicultural diversity that is islum.

Many Caucasian women, especially young European girls, say that Arabs are so macho, manly and sexy!
They also say that most young modern Caucasian men/boys are too boyish and real wimps!
I remember some high school spud spent more than an HOUR getting his hair cut at my local barbers because he had a picture of some boy toy and wanted his hair styled exactly like it. At least a couple men left out of disgust.

Keep up the good job Pamela! We urgently need to educate the whole world, including the Muslim world, on the real islam!
Ideally, Islam should be reclassified as a political/economic cult and then just banned!
Islam is danger to the free world.

Here is an EXCELLENT post from an ex Muslim… Feel free to copy and paste. #MuslimBan
“I am not going to dwell on the legality of Trump’s statement because it is already established.
Apart from the fact that the American Constitution does not give any rights to foreigners, according to the federal Immigration and Nationality Act,
“Whenever the president finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he deems necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens.”
The point I want to make is that by allowing Muslims to enter the country and granting them citizenship and naturalization the American government is violating the Constitution.
Let us read the 45 words that constitute The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and see how not only it does not protect Islam, it actually requires its total ban.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances“.
This amendment protects freedom of speech, press, religion, assembly and petition. These are inalienable rights of the citizens and it is the responsibility of the government to protect them.
Islam is opposed to all the above. Not only no Islamic country tolerates freedom of speech and press, Muslims, even when they are a minority in a non-Muslim majority country, demand to curtail the freedom of speech of others and want the death penalty for those who criticize Islam and its inhumane teachings.
In Iran, several members of the Bahai community are rotting in jail for the crime of assembling to discuss their religious matters and Christian pastors are jailed for preaching the Gospels to Muslims. In Saudi Arabia, Christians can be put to jail if they meet in each other’s homes to pray. Under Islam religious minorities have little rights, and sometimes they don’t even have the right to live. This is the religion Muslims want to bring to America and impose on others through terror.
Coming to the United States is not a right of the seven billion inhabitants of this planet. It is a privilege that can be given only by the government of the United State.
And the government must exert due diligence that those who enter the country pose no threat to the people and the Constitution.
There have been dozens of terrorist attacks on the Americans by people who call themselves Muslims, resulting in thousands of death and injuries. So it is undeniable that a certain percentage of Muslims do pose a threat to the lives of Americans.
Islam is also a belief system that opposes the American Constitution and strives to overthrow it.
If a Muslim wishes to be faithful to his or her religion, he must not accept the rule of non-believers (Q.9:23).
They are ordered to “not obey the disbelievers and strive against them with the utmost strenuousness (Q. 25:52) because Muslims are made an exalted nation that they may rule over others (Q.2:143).
Muslims are, therefore, required to “fight the unbelievers, and kill them wherever you find them until there is no more fitnah (dissension, resistance, disbelief) and until religion is for Allah” i.e. Islam and “unbelievers desist in their unbelief.” (Q. 2:191-193)
It is clear that Islam is not just incompatible with the American Constitution, but antithetical to it and it is the duty of every Muslim to strive, with their words, wealth and body to overthrow any system of government that is not Islamic and establish the Islamic rule.
Consequently, it is the responsibility of the US government to ban Islam altogether.
The government is obliged to protect the Constitution and the lives of the Americans, not the sensitivity of a foreign group of people who wants to destroy the constitution and kill Americans. Why is this not clear to everyone?”
