Jewish mother married to Muslim rescued from Muslim Quarter of Old City

Yep, you read that right. Even in a place like the Old City, it appears there may be a few cases like that, of Jewish women who've made the mistake of marrying Islamists, and one was very fortunate to be rescued from that hellhole:
(IsraelNN.com) After a 17-year captivity to an abusive Muslim husband, a Jewish mother and her eight children were rescued Sunday from the Muslim quarter of Jerusalem's Old City. Yad L'Achim, an organization dedicated to solving problems of this type, freed Naama [not her real name] from imprisonment in her own home and almost two decades of fear, shame and violence. Seizing a window of opportunity – her husband was in prison and his brother under house arrest – her liberators wove through the narrow alleyways of the Muslim Quarter to deliver her to safety.
Go read the rest of the article, because the exact way this woman went down the wrong path to begin with is really startling. But it should serve as an important lesson: whatever way you wish to lead your life, don't do it by "crossing over" into another religion/culture as bad as Islam.

From the article:
"Finally the rescue team, having gathered the mother, her children and their belongings, spirited them to the getaway vans. "
and
"Naama's new refuge is a spacious and furnished apartment, whose location is closely guarded from the reach of her husband. "

Naama left her Jewish heritage when she was 20, and married soon after. She is now forty years old with eight children.

Some of those children are old enough to have been thoroughly indoctrinated with that specialized brand of Palestinian anti-semitism.

How safe can this mother be - when her own children may be the greatest threat? They all lived in a family commune. The only other family these children knew held similar anti-semetic beliefs.

The possibility that one or more of her children will seek to reconnect with childhood friends and family - intentionally or inadvertently giving away their mother's location - is of great concern.

I wonder how this rescue organization deals with such issues.

Wouldn't the children also be Jewish? So basically they've been indoctrinated to be anti-Semitic towards themselves?

Talk about some cognitive dissonance going on here,

even as a woman's rights activist I'd be very hesitant in bringing her and all the children, I don't know thats a tough one because it could work out several ways,

one, the children being exposed to Judaism may get back in touch with that part of themselves and become somewhat enlighted or

they could attempt to indoctrinate others, or they could like you said get in contact with old connections,

or even worse, they could commit their so called murder as honor killing.

After seeing the Karachi Kids nothing would surprise me, and thats just it isn't it? Even the moderates, one has to be wary of because you Just never know,

they are so good at Taqiyya that you one minute think you're dealing with a moderate the next, they have a gun to your head. How old are the children? And too I would assume a lot is going to depend on what kind of relationship the mother had with the children, if the father put up barriers between her and the kids,

it might well be a disaster waiting to happen,

I think it would be wise for a temporary separation, not only for the mother's safety but for citizens around the children. I realize that sounds harsh,

but who's to even say, the mother is truly a victim or if this isn't just some sort of trap?

And after seeing some of the infiltration within even some of the militant feminist groups I would think it be very wise to be on strict guard. Probation period would be in order, as harsh as that sounds,

but this IS a war, this isn't just two cultures that are opposed or different but two cultures/beliefs where one is determined at best to do anything in their power to destroy Israel and the west, so, with that in mind,

I'd even treat the mother as a plant. If she's legit and for real then she would understand, resent it yes, would it be traumatic yes, but while its noble to save one woman,

I think in this day and age we have to be extremely careful in helping women from marriages to Muslims, because you just never know. You just don't.

I would think if anything extreme caution and any necessary steps,

and, it might not hurt to have some serious 'deprogramming' from cults, because the way Islam works to indoctrinate it truly is a cult. I don't think its near enough to just submerge them in another culture,

there has to be more to it, if anything some sessions of pointing out contradictions, and maybe this Is where the apostates and those true moderate Muslims [who are a very very small minority] do come in,

because if anyone can reach these kids they can. Not only that but these kids, violence against their mother and women has been so normalized, if there isn't intervention now, they'll internalize that and act on that violence/and misogyny themselves.

Thats the real travesty about Islam and misogyny is that children normalize that violence, and I think we, in the west unless we have experienced violence [domestic violence, etc] have a real hard time understanding the psychological effects and they are long lasting, its not like one can just wave a magic wand and it just goes away,

and add to that, an entire community and religion and state/or state within a state with that kind of violence doctrine day in and day out,

well, we're talking Years I'm sure. If anything,

this story needs to be told everywhere, because there is So much ignorance about the level, or depth of violence, misogyny in Islam,

about a year ago there was another case, Oman, an American woman, married a man, moved to Oman, years living there, three small kids, one day,

he divorces her. Just like that, She thinks, she's going to take the kids, and its one Rare case where she got custody, IF she remains in Oman, but, that was soon overturned after he kidnapped the kids and under the laws of Oman, it doesn't matter,

many feminist groups here tried to help her, but they Just DON'T GET, THAT SHARIA LAW, IS NOT FAIR AND THEY DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT AMERICAN OR WESTERN SENTIMENTS,

and Sure enough--once the manipulating feminists who are in bed with the Jihadi feminists found Out that representing this woman would expose Islam for what it truly is,

they dumped the case.

Sure, of course they did, because its just too risky looking truth in the face, its much easier to put Islam on this level with Christianity and Judaism, which is what they try to do [apologists] and when its right in front of them, the stark differences, they avoid it.

Leaving more young 'duped' girls into thinking, oh it Won't happen to me, thats just the fundies--It will happen, it Does happen,

all the time. It doesn't matter how educated the Muslim men are or how wealthy or modernized, nine out of ten, if women marry them they are going to wind up in living hell.

And the sad thing is, once they are over in those countries, there IS no helping them, no laws, no nada, nothing.

And Western women REALLY NEED TO GET THIS.

Even the Most violent of cases in the west, the women have more chance, of escape--and boy, Thats not saying much,

because many of them here are killed too, even after retraining orders, etc. But in those countries, there isn't even a Chance of the minimal of hope, not even, the Only way out for them, other than being tossed to the streets, is death.

And its not that we don't have severe cases of DV here, we do, but there is one difference, other than the legal system [which doesn't always work here granted],

but in the West, you Don't see the numbers of girls/women burning themselves or committing suicide, like you do in Islamist countries, and the life expectancy of women is lower in every single one of the Islamist countries,

in the Entire world, men by far, statistically commit suicide more than women, Except, in Asia, where more women attempt and succeed,

and in Islamic countries. And whats even more shocking, is the Ages of the women who commit suicide,

and Those are just the reported ones. Something Western women need to keep in mind the next time a Muslim man wants to court them, that, and they need to know how those little 'temporary' marriages work,

because he's probably got a 10 year old lined up, via parents, to sell to him, if he doesn't have on on the side already.
