"Tragedy": Taliban Supporter Still Being Held Hostage by Taliban
Yet another in a long line of articles noting that Beverly "Khadija Abdul Qahaar" Giesbrecht is still being held hostage by the Taliban. Bev was the long time publisher of the Jihad Unspun website, which on a daily basis justified attacks by the Taliban.
She was, in fact, as open as a devoted Islamist could be in her native Canada about her disdain for NATO troops in Afghanistan and love of the "resistance" -- the Taliban.
Let me just make note of a few things in this terribly researched Canada.com story. The author, "Jane Seyd", seems to interview only a few people for the story, but the main source is a close friend of Beverly's named Glen Cooper.
Any person who was close friends with Beverly Giesbrecht will also meet one or more of the following criteria: very stupid; on the Leftwing fringe; a terror supporter; or the kind of person who finds it necessary to befriend the crazy old lady with all the cats down the street.
Besides the source, here are the two major problems:
1) Nowhere does the article mention that Jihad Unspun was an objectively pro-terrorist and pro-Taliban publication.
2) The friend tells us that Beverly went to Pakistan to make a documentary. What it does not mention is the fact that the documentary was meant to portray the Taliban as the good guys in the war.
Beverly's friend claims that if she does ever return to Canada that she will be a changed person. One can only hope!
