UK Woman Rescues Kidnapped Daughter From Egypt In A Daring Mission

As many women who marry Muslim men have discovered, divorce by the husband is ridiculously easy (even a text message saying 'I divorce thee' sent three times is acceptable)and any children that come from the marriage are considered the property of the father according to sharia with a divorced mother having no parental rights whatsoever.

Because of this, the kidnapping of young children by their fathers who take them to Muslim countries is quite common, and many mothers have experienced the horror losing all contact with their children when their husbands divorce them after taking the children on a trip to 'visit their family back home.'

Many times, the husbands don't even bother with a divorce, simply abandoning the wife and taking the children back to their home countries in the Muslim world.

One of these women was Alex Abou-El-Ella, a 29-year-old British woman who had her one-year-old daughter Mona kidnapped by her Egyptian father.

Mrs. Abou-El-Ella, who was born in Poland but came to Britain as a teenager married her husband Mustafa in England, where the met. One day her husband simply took the baby to the airport and flew to Egypt without telling his wife, and that was the last she saw of her daughter for two long years.

The British government has never been particularly helpful in cases like this, and this was no exception.

But Alex Abou-El-Ella decided she wasn't going to give up her child. With the help of British author Donya Al-Nahi, who is famous in Britain for her efforts in helping a string of women rescue children snatched by Arab fathers, she hatched a daring plot to get her child back.

First, the two women defied warnings from the British foreign office not to travel to Egypt. Once in the country, they were able to track down her daughter Mona's whereabouts, and Alex Abou-El-Ella disguised herself in full head-to-toe Islamic dress and hid her face behind a veil in order to get close to her.

They then hired a local driver and staked out the area until until Mona appeared with an aunt just before 9 AM...and the Daily Mail relates what happened next:

'I was walking behind them, faster and faster, and saw Mona's hand a few metres away from me,' she said. 'So I grabbed her, pulled her into my arms and the lady looked at my face - but all she could see were my eyes.'

Grabbing her daughter, she turned and fled to the waiting car and drove off with th echild and Al-Nahi. The confused toddler cried out for help from the woman she knew as mummy, to Abou-El-Ella's dismay.

"I felt shocked and upset to hear those words coming out of her mouth about another woman," she said. "But after half an hour she looked up at me and said, "Are you my mum?"'

The next step was getting Mona out of the country, so Alex resorted to that time tested Arab lubricant - baksheesh. She used the Polish passport belonging to her older daughter to hide Mona's Egyptian surname, bribed an Egyptian official to allow her to board a London-bound flight..and then used Mona's real British passport to get her into the UK legally when they landed at Heathrow.

Mother and daughter are now reunited and doing just fine.

Alex Abou-El-Ella says she has informed Mona's father that she has their child. She saved Mona from being deprived of her mother without any due process, from life under sharia and almost certainly from the forced clitorectomies that over 90% of Egyptian girls are forced to undergo as young, prepubescent children.

She is one courageous woman, but if I were her I'd definitely move and maintain a low profile to stop her daughter from being kidnapped again.

This sort of story - many times without the happy ending - has been repeated with increasing frequency since immigration from Muslim countries has increased in the West. Women whom marry these men need to consider carefully exactly what they might be getting into.

Girl Contracts Brain Eating Amoeba After Swimming At Water Park

 

Now this is scary.


A 12-year-old girl contracted parasitic meningitis, a rare and deadly disease caused by a brain-eating amoeba after swimming at a local water park.

It's an extremely rare disease caused by the amoeba Naegleria fowleri and is typically found in freshwater ponds or lakes or in soil. It enters the human body through the nose, where it then moves to the brain, where it feats on brain tissue. Parasitic meningitis is usually fatal. This is the first known case of the disease in years.

Kali Hardig was rushed to the hospital after  spending the day swimming at Willow Springs Water Park in Arkansas, a lake with a natural, sandy bottom.

According to what her mother told the local Christian Post, she couldn't get Kali's fever down and she was in tremendous pain and vomiting. Doctors have put Kali into a medically induced coma in order to stabilize her condition.

The Arkansas Department of Health has closed down Willow Springs Water Park until further notice.

A Must Read- George Will's Birthday Column For His Down's Syndrome Son

This column, entitled 'Jon Will's Gift' is in a class by itself. Here's a slice:

When Jonathan Frederick Will was born 40 years ago — on May 4, 1972, his father’s 31st birthday — the life expectancy for people with Down syndrome was about 20 years. That is understandable.

The day after Jon was born, a doctor told Jon’s parents that the first question for them was whether they intended to take Jon home from the hospital. Nonplussed, they said they thought that is what parents do with newborns. Not doing so was, however, still considered an acceptable choice for parents who might prefer to institutionalize or put up for adoption children thought to have necessarily bleak futures. Whether warehoused or just allowed to languish from lack of stimulation and attention, people with Down syndrome, not given early and continuing interventions, were generally thought to be incapable of living well, and hence usually did not live as long as they could have. [...]

Jon was born just 19 years after James Watson and Francis Crick published their discoveries concerning the structure of DNA, discoveries that would enhance understanding of the structure of Jon, whose every cell is imprinted with Down syndrome. Jon was born just as prenatal genetic testing, which can detect Down syndrome, was becoming common. And Jon was born eight months before Roe v. Wade inaugurated this era of the casual destruction of pre-born babies.

This era has coincided, not just coincidentally, with the full, garish flowering of the baby boomers’ vast sense of entitlement, which encompasses an entitlement to exemption from nature’s mishaps, and to a perfect baby. So today science enables what the ethos ratifies, the choice of killing children with Down syndrome before birth. That is what happens to 90 percent of those whose parents receive a Down syndrome diagnosis through prenatal testing.

Which is unfortunate, and not just for them. Judging by Jon, the world would be improved by more people with Down syndrome, who are quite nice, as humans go. It is said we are all born brave, trusting and greedy, and remain greedy. People with Down syndrome must remain brave in order to navigate society’s complexities. They have no choice but to be trusting because, with limited understanding, and limited abilities to communicate misunderstanding, they, like Blanche DuBois in “A Streetcar Named Desire,” always depend on the kindness of strangers. Judging by Jon’s experience, they almost always receive it.

Read the whole thing. You'll be happy you did. I especially love the last paragraph.
