An American ISIS widow whose son appeared in propaganda videos has defended buying Yazidi sex slaves in Syria and says she dreams of returning to the US with her four children to eat McDonald’s.
Jihad Watch has been following this story. The video of Sam El Hassani’s account of her alleged woes, and her dreams, is compelling and believable to the average caring non-Muslim in the West. She effectively advances the lie that her young son is just like any other child, with the same desires to eat at McDonald’s, and to play and learn. She tells her tale with the tone of an Oprah Winfrey special about her plight.
It is enough to tug on the heartstrings of the gullible and move them to tears of compassion, and even to make people want to advocate for her to be brought back to America. The inconvenient truth is that she defends “buying Yazidi sex slaves in Syria.” This should be the dealbreaker.
Over time, she said the couple bought two female teenage slaves and a young boy. The first slave was a girl named Soad, now aged 17, who El Hassani said she paid $10,000 for.
She rationalizes (or tries to):
El Hassani said her husband repeatedly raped the two girls but she defended her decision to purchase them because she offered them protection. ‘In every house that she was in before that was the same situation, but she did not have the support of someone like me.
Sam El Hassani’s warped reasoning and deceit is a jihadi tactic. They bring harm, but play victim. It is routine. Jihadists know well that Westerners are gullible, particularly leftists. The mindset that they have simply does not exist in the psyche of the vast majority of Westerners. Westerners cannot imagine or conceive in their minds that such calculated darkness could exist, so they keep on giving jihadis the benefit of the doubt, as the jihadis advance.
“American ISIS widow whose son appeared in propaganda videos defends buying Yazidi sex slaves, details beatings in Syria and claims she dreams of returning to the US to eat McDonald’s with her children”, by Emily Crane, Daily Mail, April 20, 2018:
An American ISIS widow whose son appeared in propaganda videos has defended buying Yazidi sex slaves in Syria and says she dreams of returning to the US with her four children to eat McDonald’s.
Sam El Hassani, also known as Samantha Sally, is currently in a Kurdish prison in Syria with her children after being taken into custody following ISIS’s collapse in Raqqa.
The 32-year-old’s ISIS-fighting husband Moussa El Hassani was killed last year in a drone strike.
In an interview from prison with CNN, El Hassani spoke of her life in the Caliphate as a ‘prisoner’ and said her husband once took her to a Yazidi slave market after suggesting they could help keep her and the children company while he was off fighting.
Over time, she said the couple bought two female teenage slaves and a young boy. The first slave was a girl named Soad, now aged 17, who El Hassani said she paid $10,000 for.
El Hassani said her husband repeatedly raped the two girls but she defended her decision to purchase them because she offered them protection.
‘In every house that she was in before that was the same situation, but she did not have the support of someone like me,’ El Hassani told CNN.
‘I would never apologize for bringing those girls to my house. They had me and I had them.
‘In any other situation they would be locked in a bedroom and fed tea every day. We cooked together, we cleaned together. Drank coffee together. Slept in the same room together. I was like their mother.’
Soad sent CNN a video message from an Iraqi refugee camp confirming that El Hassani rescued her.
She said her children also became victims, especially her son Matthew who became the subject of ISIS propaganda videos in which he vowed revenge on US President Donald Trump…..
