Canadian woman held in NE Syria may never leave


A Canadian woman held in a camp in northeast Syria on charges of links with the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) may never leave the camp, CTV news said yesterday.

Kimberly Polman, now 49, was arrested in Baghouz town, eastern Syria, in 2019 and was sent to Roj Camp that holds many ISIS member families in northeast Syria.

However,
some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them...
Polman insists she never supported ISIS and that she was lured into ISIS by a boyfriend, who promised to marry her picturing for her that she was going to help Syrian children.

Polman admits it was a mistake to go to Syria and join ISIS and that it was a stupid thing to do. Now suffering physical and mental health problems including hepatitis and post-traumatic stress disorder, Polman appealed the Canadian government to take her home.

Peter Galbraith, a former US diplomat, has recently offered to escort Polman out of the camp, but Canada withheld his cooperation, according to CTV news.

#1 Another liberal woman blinded by her emotions. It just felt SO GOOD to be with him. She'd do anything to keep that feeling going. And she did.

#2 but Canada withheld his cooperation

"IF there was just some proof she killed someone, like Khadr. Bad luck, eh?"

#4 She has her own Wikipedia page, which claims the dual American-Canadian turned to Islam after being brutally gang raped, leaving three adult children behind when she left for Syria, presumably in Vancouver.

Canada apparently also is not interested in getting her back.

#7 It just felt SO GOOD to be with him.

Chicks dig bad boys. As for the dual citizenship thing, pick a side! This isn't Calvinball.

Feel free to add my name to the list of countries that don't want her back.
