| I Married a Muslim: Katrina's Incredible Story |
| 2004-08-08 |
| Hat tip USAgirl on a JihadWatch.com comment thread. What woman who was raised as a God-fearing Christian would purposefully marry a Middle Eastern Muslim? Regrettably, Katrina, who unknowingly became a Muslim by marriage, did. Scott Ross sat down with Katrina, author of Married to Muhammed, to learn more about her 14-year marriage to a Muslim, her brave escape, and her new life today. ... KATRINA: When I came out of the wedding ceremony, I saw that not only had my name been changed, but my religion had been changed also. I'd become a Muslim. Go to the link for the full article. |

| #11 For me this article demonstrated that we have all been taken in by an image in our minds that we all want to see about the ROP, so not only Katrina has been duped. The following interchange in the interview was rather worrisome: SCOTT ROSS: Katrina, a lot of people–Islamic men and women are watching this now–would certainly disagree with that. The President of the United States, George W. Bush has said Islam is a peaceful religion. He said it. You are telling me otherwise. You are saying it is not. Is this a certain segment of Islamic people? You’re saying that across the board this is a belief system, a religion that uses fear and intimidation as part and parcel, if you will, of their doctrine? KATRINA: Yes. In Sura 47:4… SCOTT ROSS: What is this? KATRINA: It's the Koran. It says that when you see an unbeliever, smite at their neck until you make a great slaughter of them. Now what does that tell you? It says, to take not Jews and Christians as your friend. Kill the infidel. SCOTT ROSS: Why is anyone buying into this? KATRINA: Why did I buy into it? SCOTT ROSS: Deception. KATRINA: What does the Bible say? In the last days, even the elect, if it were possible, will be deceived. Also: KATRINA: He told me point blank that if we can’t take this country by force, we’ll take our time and take it through marriage. Islam doesn’t want the U.S., or even Israel. They want the world. |

| #10 CiT: Reading this article only reinforces my belief that eventually, Islam will have to be exterminated. Completely. My feeling is that there are repulsive men of every ethnicity and religion. In my view, the problem isn't really this kind of stuff, which gets around eventually, and scares women off. The problem is that Muslims foment and sponsor terrorist acts against Americans*. What they want to think in the comfort of their homes or mosques is one thing - organizing, tolerating or funding the terrorists in their midst is quite another. * My concern isn't really with anyone else - I assume they can fend for themselves. |

| #9 Depends on whether they see the light in time, or not. My bet is, they won't; that they'll sooner or later do something so horrific that we decide it's either them, or us. |

| #7 Arrrgh! A sad tale that's been repeated thousands of times I'm afraid. Years ago in the early 80's I knew an Iranian (went to school with the clown)that was fairly westernized by all accounts except when it came to women. He would be Mr. Suave to them early on, but then would turn into an abusive prick soon after. I remember telling one chickadee that I had a polysci class with to steer clear of the guy, but she was sucked in only to regret her decision later. Fact is most of these guys have zero respect for women. Damn it's the way their taught, it's in their religion, you'd think everyone was aware of that fact by know. :/ |

| #6 RJB - Oops - this occurred back in '93. |

| #5 RJB - I was introduced to a woman who was thinking of marying a Kuwaiti (he was begging her) and our intermediate friend introduced us since she knew I had just come back from my first gig in Saudi - and she wanted me to talk her loonie friend out of it. I gave it my best shot, over some coffee and lunch outings, but she was a hardcore golddigger at heart - and did it. He took her back there and we never heard another word from her. She was almost 6' tall, blonder than Rita Cosby, and fairly statuesque - I could see why the Kuwaiti guy wanted her for a trophy. She might be doing fine or she might be a beaten old worn out baby-factory, by now. I'm leaning toward the latter. Sigh. Tis sad - she seemed okay when you got past that mercenary streak. But that was her undoing. |

| #4 Too true .com, too true. How many times over the last 20 or so years have we heard this same tale about some American chic marrying a Mid East dillweed only to complain after the fact that the same dude treats them like chattle? Oh, the Klinton deal was funny as hell also! ;) |

| #3 RJB - Well, she agrees with you. But you know there are oodles of airhead people in the werld - just look at today's poll numbers, and I'm not pickin on the wymyns - there's an equal share of myns, too. We read about how they can't find their asses on a map with clues. She was married for 14 years, add a couple since then for her exit and story to come out and then subtract 16 from the age you think she is in the picture - 35 or so? So we're really talking about an apparently sheltered 20 yr old back in the late 80's who was modelling cuz she's real purdy - and nothing much is expected of her. Prolly parties all the time, yadda3, prolly graducated "socially" from HS - etc. Put it all together and yeah, I can picture her story being true: an airheaded little princess gets scooped up by Mr Suave who's thinking, nice bangle & baby-factory, we'll do this quick before anyone can tell her whassaup! And there she was saying WTF? On the other hand, I feel your pain, too. What was her name? Monica Jablowme or something? |

| #2 I really don't mean to be callous or crass, , , BUT HOW FREAKING STUPID ARE YOU IF YOU MARRY A "MIDDLE EASTERN MUSLIM" and don't even know it till after the fact"???????????????????? I'm sorry, but that's about as ignorant a move as I've seen made. :/ |

| #1 If this weren't coming from a very devout Christian, it would have more impact. Nonetheless, she gets many salient points in there about what happens and what Islam is really about. She is incredibly fortunate that they stayed in the US, that they had serious money, and that he didn't kill her or have her killed - he can afford it. Of course, the story isn't over, yet, is it? |
