From the Brussels Journal comes the mind-blowing story of a left-wing Dutch journalist, Joanie de Rijke, who went to Afghanistan to conduct a sympathetic interview with Taliban jihadists who had just killed 10 French troops. Naturally, she was abducted and serially raped for six days. And now she is angry ... not at the chief Taliban thug — who showed her "respect," though, regrettably, "he could not control his testosterone" — but at the Dutch and Belgian governments who refused to pay the $2 million ransom the jihadists demanded. And of course, in the Netherlands, the media and the government are furious at Geert Wilders for pointing out the obvious:
This story is a perfect illustration of the moral decline of our elites. They are so blinded by their own ideology that they turn a blind eye to the truth. Rape? Well, I would put this into perspective, says the leftist journalist: the Taliban are not monsters. Our elites prefer to deny reality rather than face it. One would expect: a woman is being raped and finds this unbearable. But this journalist is not angry because the Muslim involved also showed respect. Our elites, whether they are politicians, journalists, judges, subsidy gobblers or civil servants, are totally clueless. Plain common sense has been dumped in order to deny reality. It is not just this raped journalist who is suffering from Stockholm syndrome, but the entire Dutch elite. The only moral reference they have is: do not irritate the Muslims – that is the one thing they will condemn

What the hell is wrong with so many white people? They don’t even have the guts to speak the truth. I am sorry that she was raped, but this is pathetic.
On top of it she is probably pregnant.

It is. I have the same idiot white liberal Democrats here in L.A. and they bump their chest with the words “diversity” yet when I simply asked them “how come your all your friends are all white and not one Hispanic, Asian or black friend?” and they simply shut up...
And yes, they drive Hybrids with Obama stickers on them like real caricatures of the left.
Joanie de Rijke
Come on...this woman wasn’t raped. The only reason she’s crying rape is the fellows didn’t give her enough leads for her stories like they said they would.
Such pathetic, brain-washed people deserve what they get when glamorizing the terrorists who wish to kill them.
Just curious. How does a rapist show respect? Inquiring minds want to know.

Welcome to our website: We are well-liked by Black people so we're psyched (since lots of Black people don't like lots of White people)!! We thought it'd be cool to honor our exceptional status with a ROCKIN' domain name and a killer website!! |
Men, remember that.
Always say “Thank you Ma’am”
And wait for them to offer their hand first.

Unbelievable
Send flowers? Tell her she needs to put ice on it?

Stockholm Syndrome
Joanie de Rijke (above) is a Dutch journalist who was kidnapped by the Taliban in the Sorobi district of Afghanistan last year. She was there to report on the deaths of ten French commandos, hacked to pieces by Taliban fighters.
She arranged to meet a Taliban commander, in order to ‘hear their side of the story’. When the fighters came to the meeting, they simply kidnapped her. Despite this, she still refuses to admit she was taking unnecessary risks.
She was held for six days before the magazine she worked for paid a ransom to free her. She was raped by the commander during her ordeal, and she has now written a book called ‘Held by the Taliban’.
“I can’t be angry with them, because they let me live.”
“I couldn’t be sure whether the ransom would be paid, which meant I didn’t know what was going to happen to me. To break the constant tension, you have to talk to each other. The situation was very tense. The whole atmosphere was very tense. The commander, one moment he was friendly to me and the next moment he went mad because - I don’t know - of some news he got, and then he threatened to kill me. So, there was always tension. And to break that tension, you had to talk and laugh a bit. It was a matter of surviving.”
On the rape ordeal:
“It’s not black and white. It was the commander who raped me. I wanted to give vent to my hatred, to chop his head off and kick it off the cliff. He was schizophrenic: the following day, he said he was sorry. In that sort of situation - no matter how awful - you develop a bond with those people. You have to, if you want to survive. You could say the hatred and that bond go side by side.
“Just let me make one thing clear: I hate him for what he did to me. I hate him because he raped me. I was very, very mad and I wanted to kill him right away. But the day after it happened, he more or less asked me to forgive him. That was very confusing for me. It was a very schizophrenic situation because he had mood swings. I just had to cope with that. Normally you can show that you are angry but I couldn’t of course. I had to get on with them. I just couldn’t say to this commander what I was really thinking because then he would have killed me right away.”
Ms de Rijke says that she was nevertheless shown respect.
“These things can exist side by side. That doesn’t mean that I’m suffering from Stockholm syndrome.”

Looks better than a goat ... to the jihadis don’tchaknow.
The greatest guilt today is that of people who accept collectivism by moral default; the people who seek protection from the necessity of taking a stand, by refusing to admit to themselves the nature of that which they are accepting...the people who believe that the content of ideas need not be examined, that principles need not be defined, and that facts can be eliminated by keeping one's eyes shut.-Rand
Guilty!
