The Honor Killing of Maria Maghdid

Maria Maghdid, a 20-year-old Iraqi-Kurdish woman, was recently stabbed to death in Erbil by her brother and uncle in an honor killing.  Maria was found along the side of the road, tied up, and with multiple stab wounds.  The reason for her death was that Maria defied her orthodox Islamic culture by posing on Tiktok wearing Western style clothes with her hair uncovered.  A long-standing advocate of woman's rights, Maria was forcibly married to a man at the age of 12.  Though she escaped the marriage 4 years later, she still lived under repression.  Some time later, Maria made the decision to covert to Christianity, and for her family, this was the final act of "Shame."  Maria's father was an orthodox Imam who was of great importance in the Muslim community in the region, and his family made the decision that they could no longer stand Maria's "dishonorable actions."



In what can be considered an ironic "Twist of Fate," Maria was murdered on International Woman's Day.  Her death serves as a living reminder that women all over the world are still being denied basic human rights which include the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  Maria's decision to choose her own faith and make her own life ultimately led to her death.  Yet Western feminists, like so many others, continue to turn a blind eye to this ongoing atrocity that affects so many women Middle Eastern women, both those living in the Middle East, and those who have immigrated to Western Nations.

The brutal invasion of Israel by Hamas caught the entire world by surprise.  Over the last few years Israel has become accustomed to turning back rocket attacks and occasional cross-border raids by Hamas terrorists, but nobody anticipated this brutal full-out invasion.  Already being dubbed as "Israel's 9/11," militants stormed across the Gaza border and attacked towns across southern Israel.  Already over 900 Israelis are confirmed dead, thousands more wounded, and over 100 hostages, including women & children, have been taken back to Gaza ( Video Footage of Massacres ).   Israeli Woman Taken Hostage by Hamas The deadliest massacre so far took place at the Nova Music Festival in the Negev Desert close to Urim, a Jewish community that lives close to the Gaza Strip.  At 6am on Oct. 7th, the attack on the festival began as rockets rained down and Hamas gunmen appeared and opened fire.  As of now over 260 Israelis are confirmed dead from this attack alone with a number o

The Plague of Jihad is all over the world.  The past few days has witnessed Israel suffer the most horrific attack that it has endured since the October War of 1973, yet for all of the senseless death, for all of the footage that we see of Hamas militants murdering Israelis in cold blood, many in the world are in fact celebrating this atrocity.   Hamas Supporters in Canada In Iran, crowds of Hamas supporters took to the streets to celebrate the slaughter of Israelis by Hamas while their government leaders lavished praise on the terrorists ( Link to Article ).  In the nation of Turkey, Hamas supporters crowded the streets of Istanbul chanting "Allahu Akbar" & "Khaybar Khaybar Ya Yahud" ( Link to Video ).  "Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud, jaish Muhammad soufa ya'oud" is the full version of the chant.  It translates to "Khaybar Khaybar or Jews, the Army of Muhammad will return."  For those unfamiliar with the context of this chant, Khaybar was the

Hamas and Their Child Soldier Training Camps

Image
For years the world has known that Hamas deliberately targets children for indoctrination and training to carry out terrorist missions.  They have camps throughout Gaza and other areas of the Middle East where children are taught to hate, & trained to kill.  These camps are often referred to as "Summer Youth Camps."  The titles sound harmless enough, but unlike the summer youth camps in the U.S. and other Western nations where children play games, do crafts, and in general, have fun, the Hamas "Summer Youth Camps" are nothing like this.  They're training camps, where children are trained in weapons handling, military drills, and are indoctrinated to "hate the Infidel," particularly Jews.   Link to Video On videos that have circulated across the online world, these children have openly confessed that they have come here for the purpose of learning to fight.  One such video surfaced on MEMRI with a child openly stating "We did not come here to e
