Well, yes, the Taliban raped me, but they also respected me — they are not monsters

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.

I have a thought running through my head that I can't post.

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.

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.

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.”

Leftists have no concept of reasonable judgment. If she was raped and enjoyed it, let her indulge in her sadomasochistic pastimes. But the woman deserves no respect from reasonable people.

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
