No Womens March for Rahaf. No CNN or NBC specials. The left and its media lapdogs stand with the Islam. Under Islamic law, apostasy is punishable by death. I receive emails from Muslims like Rahaf every week begging me to help them escape Muslim countries because they left Islam and fear death from their families, mosque and communities. But in a world and culture driven by leftist ideologies, my organization and my colleagues are smeared, defamed and libeled for our lifesaving work, while sharia totalitarians such as Linda Sarsour and savages like her are exalted.

‘I’m sure 100 percent they will kill me’: Saudi woman, 18, tweets that she is trapped in Bangkok airport after her passport was confiscated as she fled from her family who are angry she renounced Islam
- Thai officials confirm they are holding Saudi Rahaf Mohammed al-Qunun, 18
- Rahaf is trying to flee her physically and psychologically abusive family
- She said her male guardian reported her for traveling ‘without his permission’ and that she was ‘100 per cent sure’ her family would kill her at home in Saudi
- She fled two days ago and is trying to claim asylum in Australia, via Bangkok
- Thai officials said it was a ‘family matter’ and she would be repatriated tomorrow
- Activists and campaigners are publicising her case with the hashtag #SaveRahaf
MailOnline, January 6, 2018:
A Saudi woman is being held in Bangkok after trying to escape her abusive family who she says will kill her on her return to the kingdom.
In a series of tweets starting last night, Rahaf Mohammed al-Qunun, 18, describes being followed around Bangkok airport by Saudi officials who then robbed her of her passport.
She fled her family on a trip to Kuwait two days ago and is trying to reach Australia, via Bangkok, to seek asylum after renouncing Islam.
But after a relative reported her for travelling without the company of a male guardian she was detained and, as of a video posted at 1pm GMT today, she was being held in the Miracle Transit Hotel at the airport.
Rahaf said: ‘My family is strict and locked me in a room for six months just for cutting my hair,’ she said, adding that she is certain she will be imprisoned if she is sent back.
‘I’m sure 100 percent they will kill me as soon as I get out of the Saudi jail,’ she said, adding that she was ‘scared’ and ‘losing hope’.
As of an update posted at around 2.30pm GMT, Rahaf was in a hotel near the airport with multiple security and immigration officials preventing her from leaving the building.
At 4.30pm she Tweeted the President of the United states directly, pleading: ‘@realDonaldTrump please help me. I’m hoping that you heard about me. I’m Saudi girl who fled from her family. Now I could be killed if they drag me back to my male guardian.’
President Trump considers the kingdom’s Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman, a close ally, and has rejected the findings of his own intelligence agencies which linked ‘MBS’, as he is known, to the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Rahaf Mohammed al-Qunun, 18, tweeted: ‘I have been detained in an airport hotel. I will be forcibly repatriated tomorrow to Kuwait and then Saudi. There is an airport person who constantly follows me. I can’t even ask for protection or asylum in Thailand.’
In a video published on Twitter at 2.30pm GMT today Rahaf is shown detained in an airport hotel in Bangkok with security officials preventing her from leaving the building

Rahaf said on Twitter: ‘I have been threatened by several staff from the Saudi embassy and the Kuwaiti airlines, and they said ‘If you run, we will find you and kidnap you, then deal with you’ I really don’t know how they are going to behave in case I run.’
In another tweet she said: ‘I have been detained in an airport hotel. I will be forcibly repatriated tomorrow to Kuwait and then Saudi.
‘There is an airport person who constantly follows me. I can’t even ask for protection or asylum in Thailand. Thai police refuse to help me.’
She also shared a picture of her passport ‘because I want you to know I’m real and exist’.
Another tweet read: ‘I’m afraid my family will kill me.’
Thai officials claim it is a family matter and say she will be deported to Saudi – where renouncing Islam is punishable by death, and activists say women are at risk of ‘honour killings’ by family members – tomorrow at 11am.
It is a chilling echo of the case of Dina Ali Lasloom, 24, a Saudi woman who in April 2017 was held for 13 hours in Manilla airport while trying to flee a forced marriage. She was forcibly taken back to Saudi Arabia by uncles and never heard from again.

An Israeli newspaper has reported some good news about her case. She was supposed to take the 11 am flight KU412 from Thailand to Kuweit today, but it is reported that this flight left without her on board. One step in the right direction, Thai authorities have made some amends for their previous mistakes.

How long are we going to allow this.
Saudi Arabia owns stakes of Twitter & censors. Trump’s Tweets aren’t censord because he doesn’t condemn Saudi Arabia or the unjust Muhammad-law.
Recently a spy was killed in Saudi Arabia. He exposed Saudi crimes on Twitter. United Arab Emirates-Twitter administrators exposed him to Saudi Arabia who then tortured & killed him.
In Saudi Arabia Africans are enslaved & in the UAE, Oman, Yemen, Kuwait, Lebanon, Bahrain, North-Sudan, Libya, Algeria, Mauritania, Niger, Somalia, Nigeria in emulation of unjust Muhammad who started the global African slave-trade by saying his unproven deity had turned Africans black so Africans’ descendants would be slaves to Arabs & Turks.

She is looking for asylum in Australia so why isn’t Australia being called out?
Trump has nothing to do with her situation and the U.S. is not where she is seeking asylum.
“At 4.30pm she Tweeted the President of the United states directly, pleading:
‘@realDonaldTrump please help me. I’m hoping that you heard about me. I’m Saudi girl who fled from her family. Now I could be killed if they drag me back to my male guardian.”
Hon, don’t expect the U.S. to drop everything for you to get asylum in Australia or here.
Right now, we need a WALL on our border and you own your situation. Tweet the P.M. of Australia instead.
I am so tired of people using the U.S. for their problems. Saudi Arabia is a Muslim country and the U.S. isn’t going to change that or their arcane rules and laws.

But Saudis are very good friends of USA. Are they not? I’m sure your diplomat could do some helping.
And what are you talking about, she owns her situation? She owns nothing. She’s 18. Inexperienced and helpless. She even doesn’t own her life.

NO we are not good friends. We unite as friends for common enemies – frenemies.
My hope is that we eventually will have nothing to do with these vile Muslim countries.
She is not an American citizen. Her destination for asylum was Australia not the U.S..
She should be reaching out to Australia for help – since that was her original destination.
Her situation is her problem. She OWNS her situation.
Age is not a barrier to owning your situation. Her inexperience is not our fault.
That is the blunt truth. We can’t be bleeding hearts for anyone that does something this stupid.
You have to pick and chose your stances. BTW WHERE IS THE UN on this? Why aren’t they helping her? Where is the Human Rights Commission? Bangkok women do not need permission from a male to travel in Bangkok so why don’t they release her and let her on her way?
What I do wish we would have done, is found that Iraqi doctor or maybe he was a civilian who alerted our special forces to the location of Jessia Lynch. He saved her life. Jessica is a U.S. citizen that was not supposed to be in a combat situation. The convoy took a wrong turn and got boxed in by the enemy. The local Iraqi guy , heard of her and knew what they were doing to her and the horrible end she would have. He should have been given asylum in the U.S.. Instead he is rotting away in prison for HELPING US. I wish I could remember his name.
Her name is Jessica Lynch. Lynch was captured in March 2003 when Iraqi insurgents ambushed her Army supply convoy. The then 19 year-old soldier’s legs were crushed and her back was broken before she was taken to an Iraqi hospital as a prisoner. Eleven other soldiers, including Lynch’s best friend Lori Piestewa, were killed in the attack. She was constantly being raped and about to have her legs amputated because of an infection not being properly treated for her injuries. I wish I could remember his name. If it were not for him, this woman would have had her legs amputated and been raped to death.

Thank you for reminding us of the story of Jessica Lynch, and of the brave and noble Iraqi doctor who saved her.
I too wish this Iraqi doctor got asylum in the West. Who knows what he would have had to suffer himself for doing this.
The West cannot accept it, but the Muslim world always used to treat Western women as slags, hence we have the Jessica Lynch cases, and the Rotherham grooming gang cases in Britain. Why have the West dealt with the Muslim world so badly over the years.
You are an exception, you care about what is happening. Most Westerners don’t and that is the problem.

She is quite right to ask the President of the US for help. It is up to Trump to decide if he can help her or not. Why do you want to interfere? It is not your business. If you cannot afford to let her stay in your home, no one will force you, but don’t stop other people who might be able to help her. She is merely asking Trump to intervene on her behalf with the Australian authorities, asking him to put in a good word for her

No, she is wrong to involve the U.S. in HER problem. Trump will rightfully ignore her.
She should be asking Australia for help which was her refugee destination.

That’s right. Dancing with the devil. Trump sells arms to Saudi Arabia to make money for the American people. Saudi Arabia is currently using its military might to cause much suffering and starvation in Yemen. There is a hospital in Amman in Jordan full of injured victims from Yemen and Isis in Iraq.
Today Saudi Arabia is attacking Yemen. Yesterday it was supporting Isis militarily in Iraq, keeping Yazidi and Christian people slaves. Who knows who will be their victim tomorrow? Maybe the West for embarrassing them by showing kindness to one of their female victims, this young woman Rahaf Mohammed, who is Saudi Arabian.
Still Trump is a much better choice than Hillary. She had absolutely no clue about Muslim extremism and had no interest.
Trump needs more help. He is doing everything himself. I get the sense that neither his own party, nor the democrats are any good to him. His term will soon be up, and the Democrats have spent their whole time witch-hunting him about Russia.

Her family were from Saudi Arabia, but they had gone with her to Kuweit on a visit, that is when she made her escape and went to Thailand. She had already booked her flight from Thailand to Australia. She wanted to stay a few days in Thailand so as not to alert her family that she was trying to escape.

Something isn’t right here. Her family would not allow her to go to Thailand ALONE.
She doesn’t strike me as a clever girl. She did renounce Islam so that wasn’t too swift until you are out of there.

Thai police say they will not deport Saudi woman claiming to escape abusive family
By Nicole Darrah | Fox News
1/7/19
A Saudi woman who was stopped in Thailand while seeking refugee status in Australia to escape alleged abuse by her family will not be deported against her wishes, said Thailand’s Immigration Police chief.
Maj. Gen. Sarachute Hakparn told reporters at Bangkok’s main international airport on Monday that Rahaf Mohammed Alqunun will be allowed to meet with U.N. refugee officials. He also said Thai authorities would need to explain to Saudi Arabia why it decided not to send her back so as not to affect the countries’ relations.
…
A tweet from Alqunun’s account Monday, seemingly posted by a friend, said Alqunun was
“being dragged to the airplane … she will be deported to Kuwait now.”
(That turned out to be false….)

“She doesn’t strike me as a clever girl.” Her options for escaping the anal center of the islamic death cult were probably severely limited, Thailand might have been her only escape route.

The Labour Party in Britain want to take her into Britain.
I would prefer she gets asylum in Britain than those 98 White Helmets and their families from Syria – White Helmets were the propagadists for Isis in the Syria civil war, and Britain took them in in 2018.

This will be a bit of a gut test for Thailand. Will they have the courage to face up to the Soddy Barbarian pigs? Or will they fold and allow this girl to be kidnapped (i.e. because she doesn’t WANT to go back to Soddy Barbaria) and murdered back in Soddy Barbaria?

It is a real pity she routed through Thailand. They don’t pretend to honor asylum requests and truly will not care about her life. That’s just the way it is. There is a lot of spiritual darkness over that place. I believe this is going to go very badly for her.

I wrote the following email to the Miracle Transit Hotel where Ms Rahaf Mohammed al_Qunun is staying
Dear Sir / Madam at Miracle Transit Hotel,
Well done for protecting Ms Rahaf Mohammed al_Qunun who is in your country and trying to escape near certain death if she is returned to Saudi Arabia via Kuweit.
Your good work has been appreciated in the Israeli media. See the following link:
The Israeli newspaper reported that the flight to Kuweit KU412 which was supposed to depart from Thailand at 11am apparently departed without Ms Rahaf Mohammed al-Qunun on board.
That is very good news. Let’s hope this brave young genuine refugee will find peace. She hopes to seek asylum in Australia.
Thank you for allowing Ms Rahaf Mohammed al-Qunun to stay in your wonderful hotel. Please look after her well. Perhaps if you have time, listen to her story if she is willing to tell you about it. Learn more about the barbarism of Islam.
Kind Regards,
Kareno

Colonel Choengron Rimphadee, Thailand’s immigration department’s deputy spokesman, said she had been denied entry because she could not show a return ticket, hotel reservation or proof of funds, adding: “Whoever violates Thai immigration law will be considered a prohibited person and treated the same.”
Maybe she will get to Australia yet!
I would NEVER trust a Muslim – male or female.

Pictured is the REAL Rahaf Mohammed Alqunun.
In this Monday, Jan. 7, 2019, image made from video released by Rahaf Mohammed Alqunun/Human Rights Watch, Rahaf Mohammed Alqunan views her mobile phone as she sits barricaded in a hotel room at an international airport in Bangkok, Thailand. Alqunan says she is fleeing abuse by her family and wants asylum in Australia.

The West or others who pontificate about Human Rights, in particular, Women’s Rights will not lend a hand to this poor woman; she is, in their perfidy, not the victim, the Cult of Islam, her abusive husband, and his family is the victims. The Western MSM, of course, in its reporting evades the truth of this woman’s life-threatening condition. Like all peoples victimized by Islam, the West and its mandarins this is a non-story that will end in tragedy because of the flaccid and gutless Western leaders and their greatest facilitator, the MSM.
The Democrats, May, and company, the EU and gormless, Muslim convert Trudeau, would never betray their Islamic overlord and handlers.

The Evening Standard newspaper reports that the Saudi Arabian envoy to Bangkok, a man called Abdulilah al-Shouaibi, complained to the Thai officials that they should have confiscated Ms Rahaf Mohammed al-Qunun’s SMART PHONE instead of her passport.
He was heard saying ” It would have been better if they confiscated her cellphone instead of her passport because Twitter changed everything”.
These Muslims from Saudi Arabia are incorrigible. So many of Pamela Geller’s infidel supporters are praying for the safety and well-being of this brave young ex-Muslim woman; but this Muslim Arab is only concerned about the embarrassment it has caused for Saudi Arabia, because Ms al-Qunun along with murdered Khashoggi are showing to the world the barbaric state of Soddy Barbaria (as one Pamela fan likes to call that country). If Ms al-Qunun did not have her cellphone she would not have been able to Tweet President Trump, Pamela Geller, and make the whole world aware of her plight.
I pray that Saudi Arabians and Muslims in general will see the error in their behaviour.
