Muslim Hostages in the News...

Muslim convert Beverly went to the region to better understand the concept of jihad.  It looks like she got her wish.--->

I know I've been distracted by economic events here in the states lately, but when did John Solecki FORCEFULLY convert to Islam?  And there's more about Jihadi Jane - Beverly Geisbrecht on a tape released on the internet.  (There's video at the link but I couldn't get it to work.)

From TimesNow.tv

After the United Nations diplomat John Solecki, who had forcefully converted to Islam under the doctrine of the Taliban militants, a Canadian journalist - Beverly Giesbrecht, became the latest Taliban target, with the deadline of March 30 being announced by the militants for her release.

Even as the 48-hour deadline for kidnapped United Nations official John Solecki ends, the Taliban has released another hostage video, this time of a Canadian journalist, threatning to behead her by March 30.

As Beverly desperately calls out for help, she says, "The timeline is very short and my life is going to end. So I need someone to help me. My country or someone else have to make a move now, as my life is going to be over very shortly."

The irony is Beverly - now Khadija Adbul Qahaar - publisher of a pro-Islamic website 'Jihad Unspun', was in Pakistan to understand the concept of 'Jihad', when the Taliban kidnapped her in North Wazirstan. 

"A previous video has been made and distributed to my Embassy, to the Pakistan government and to the various NGOs and groups, in order to try to meet the demnads (sic)that they're (the Taliban terror outfits) are making but....," trails off Beverly.

A cash strapped Taliban, at first demanded USD 2 millions, and have now settled for USD 3 hundred and 75 thousand ransom.

As the deadline for the execution of kidnapped United Nations man John Solecki lapsed, the timing of Beverly's hostage video release, served as grim reminder for foreigners in Pakistan that they have become the Taliban terror groups' most negotiable currecy in their holy war.

As far as Solecki goes, the UN's 'concern' is still 'growing' but all they can do is dither.  Anne Patterson, the US ambassador to Pakistan visited Quetta this week to talk to local authorities about John Solecki, but came up with nada.  For its part, the Pakistani government is feeling all hope and changey.

One local TV station reported yesterday that Solecki would be released within 24 hours.  That was 21 hours ago.

The kidnapped official of UNHCR, John Solecki is expected to be released within next twenty-fours, private TV channel reported on Thursday.

The report quoted official sources as saying that the United Nations has stepped up its efforts for the safe release of its official and expressed the hope that the efforts would bear fruit and the official would be released in next twenty four hours.

According to the report, US Ambassador in Pakistan Anne .W. Peterson visited Quetta on Thursday amid tight security and held an important meeting with Inspector General of Police Balochistan and Inspector General of Frontier Corps Major General Saleem Nawaz.

During the meeting, she discussed the issue of getting the UN official safe release.

Sources said that the objective of the US Ambassador’s visit to Quetta was to get the official released safely.

OMG Dinah, I got into a "pissing" contest with someone at jihad unspun a few years ago. I'm looking through my past posts to see if I wrote anything on it.

It was over the coverage and outright support for the terrorists in the Caucasus/Balkins area. She's linked at a site I get jihadi news updates called Kavkaz.

http://babouchka.net/www.kavkazcenter.com/eng/index.html

You'll see her site listed on the right sidebar under "news" links.

Both sites (jihad unspun & kavkaz center) are quite open about the jihad against the infidel.

Here's kavkaz's english home page.

Notice the article on "jihad security tips" at the top!!!!

Off to look for a post....

Ooh, Miss J. Thank you for the EXCELLENT linkage. I've been over at Jihad Unspun before and I thought those suckers were phukers until I saw that damn Kavkaz site. That's just sick. What about what appeared to be the jihad porn in the sidebar?

Outrageous. And who are the perps glorified in the header?

Let's talk about this via secret possum post...shall we? I have a few ideas....

[janice]

D, you're talking about the "Chronicles of Hell" right? Most sickening. I can't believe the EU can't shut this site down.

Yes, shoot me an email to discuss.
