It’s nice to get a bit of good legal news for a change. It’s especially nice to see a bit of legal common sense in action and not to see a nation’s judiciary pander to the loudest whine about percieved ‘oppression’.
This bit of good news comes from the United States of America where a jihadi bride who tried to worm her way back into the USA. She was recently told by a judge that she was not a US citizen and must not return.
Frontpage magazine is covering this good news story and said:
An unusual outburst of justice and sanity in our insane age: U.S. District Court Judge Reggie Walton has ruled that Hoda Muthana, a Muslim woman from Alabama who in 2014 went to Syria to join the Islamic State (ISIS) and burned her U.S. passport, is not an American citizen, and has dismissed her lawsuit that demanded she be allowed to return to the United States.
Well done Judge Walton
As could be expected the mainstream media went to town on this case giving this jihadi bride savage positive coverage. Broadcasters also tried to get public sympathy up for Muthana.
Robert Spencer writing at Frontpage mag added that the story:
…….tugs at the heartstrings of the establishment media. NBC News recently ran an exclusive new interview with Hoda Muthana, demanding that you pity her and agree that she should be let back into the country. NBC portrayed Hoda as a simple, down-to-earth, hijab-wearing Alabama gal who decided one day to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State (ISIS), but hey, everyone makes mistakes, right? “I want to have my own car,” pines Hoda, and how could you possibly resist such an all-American appeal?
Only the most grudging “Islamophobe” would dare to note that Hoda’s desire to have her own car is downright chilling in light of her earlier call for Muslims in America to “go on drive-bys, and spill all of their blood” – that is, the blood of the unbelievers among whom Hoda longs to live now. Among the things she wrote on social media were “Terrorize the kuffar [non-Muslims] at home.” And: “Men and women altogether. You have much to do while you live under our greatest enemy, enough of your sleeping! Go on drive-bys and spill all of their blood, or rent a big truck and drive all over them. Veterans, Patriot, Memorial etc Day parades Kill them.
This I’m afraid is only a small sample of Hoda Muthana’s odious attitude to the America that supported her right up until she decided to go and support one of the worst Islamic terror movements on the planet. There is no guarantee that Muthana would not have either killed Americans herself or contributed to a growth in Islamic extermism if she had been allowed to return to the USA. The correct decision has been made in this case and I hope that other governments such as that of the United Kingdom take a similar stance to their ‘jihadi brides’.
“Yemen – she’s in Yemen !
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak !
And I seem to find the happiness I seek –
When I think of Joda being “up-the-creek….”
