Beverly Giesbrecht was going about her life in West Vancouver when 9/11 happened.
My response to 9/11 was a willingness to fight, if called upon.
Her response was to convert to Islam, change her name to Khadija Abdul Qahaar, and set up an Islamic pro-Taliban, pro-Al-Qaeda, anti-US, anti-Israel website called Jihad Unspun.
She has been over in Pakistan, promoting the cause of Islamic resistance against the United States and buddying-up with the Taliban. "Aiding and abetting the enemy" we might have said, in the days when Canada took sides in a conflict and really meant it.
The CBC treats her as a "Canadian journalist" even though a quick review of her 2008 article on 9/11 contains these bloopers:
"The Holy month of Ramadan is a time to... take stalk of our motives and priorities...
"For all intensive purposes...
Her website also talks about "Zionist-controlled America" which one might expect to get her in a bit of hot water with the politically correct CBC, but this is the best they can come up with:
"She then set up... Jihad Unspun, which covers news in the Middle East with imagery glorifying those fighting against the United States."
Here's a sample of her writing:
"Qandara is home to the future generations of Taliban from the area. From birth, these children are nurtured as future warriors. Once they are old enough to read, the children, both males and females, undertake formal studies in not just Islam but math, physics, history and Arabic.
Seeing the principle [sic] Abu Malik in the light of day was a wonderful experience. A tall man of great stature, Abu Malik’s face radiates with the light of Allah rarely seen on humans. Speaking English, he took me on a tour of the school and we filmed the students taking lessons in Hadith. One highlight of our conversation is that Abu Malik repeated over and over again “why is America attacking us? We just want to live simple lives and worship our God in peace. Why does America not want the peace?”
And for this I could offer no answer."
At any rate, the nub of the story is this: this white female Canadian convert to Islam has been reported kidnapped in Pakistan.
Her friends back in B.C. now want the Canadian government to ante up and help get her out of Pakistan.
I really don't know how to comment on this. She willingly converted to Islam, a religion noted for activities such as suicide bombings (against people like herself) and kidnappings. Her website glorifies Osama bin Laden, mastermind of a terrorist attack that killed over 3,000 innocent civilians. And now she's been kidnapped. Does this make her unhappy, or happy? The religion which she embraced has in turn risen up and either bit or embraced her, depending on how you look at it.
Back in Canada, her friends want her to be known simply as a Canadian journalist over in Pakistan. And are demanding Canadian government assistance.
How do you solve a problem like Khadija?
As a Christian, I'm going to pray for this woman in Jesus' name. Only Savior, Light of the World. The devout Muslim's only hope.

When the first journalist was kidnapped, the MSM collectively went silent to aid the groups working to secure her release. It worked; she was freed.
Given that Giesbrecht is openly critical of the MSM and such a fan of the Taliban, I suspect she won't get the same consideration. I guess we'll see...
She is an enemy of Canada and all countries fighting al qaeda and the Taliban. If Harper helps her she should then be arrested and sent to Gitmo. Best she stays where she chose of her own free will to go.
Poor misguided soul. Proof that if you look for trouble hard enough, chances are you'll find it.
Let.Her.Rot.
She does not deserve our compassion nor sympathy.She actively sides with and aids our enemies.
She made her bed, now she can lay in it with her Taliban masters..
How ironic. She is a "journalist" like West Van is a cave in Pakistan. If Canada can help her then I hope she returns safely; however, given her subversive ways, it requires a measure of grace unknown in the ideology she embraces. I hope she lives to recognize that.
Kelly -- well said.
