“There is no compulsion in religion,” as the Qur’an says, so Agam Goldstein-Almog could have refused to recite Islamic prayers and wear the hijab. She could have chosen to be killed instead. No compulsion!
“‘Chained slave-wife’: Former hostage reveals Hamas forced her to wear a hijab, say Islamic prayers,” Jerusalem Post, August 22, 2024:
Former hostage Agam Goldstein-Almog wrote about the abuse and antisemitism she was subjected to while in Hamas captivity and online upon her release, in an opinion piece published by the Washington Post on Wednesday.
Goldstein-Almog was released in November as part of a ceasefire-hostage deal.
Born in 2007, the young Goldstein-Almog grew up next to the Gaza Strip in Kibbutz Kfar Aza. On October 7, terrorists charged her home and killed her father and sister – taking her, her mother, and her two younger brothers hostage.
Goldstein-Almog described how shortly after she arrived in Gaza, a crowd of young people surrounded her – “They smiled and laughed as I wept,” she wrote.
She went on to explain that her captors and those who laughed at her exhibited a baseless hatred “for all that I am and all I am not.”
“My Hamas guards hated me for being Jewish, so I was coerced into reciting Islamic prayers and made to wear a hijab,” she wrote. “I was forbidden from mourning my father and sister and often ordered to look down at the ground.”
While being held in a terror tunnel, Goldstein-Almog said that she came across six fellow female hostages. The hostages told her how they were molested by armed men who entered a room where they were showering.
It was soon after this that a guard told Goldstein-Almog that she would “live the rest of my life as a chained slave-wife” in Gaza and that he would find her a husband there. Standing up to the terrorist, Goldstein-Almog said her mother interrupted the conversation and deflected his advances on her young 17-year-old daughter….

So interesting to see the social justice warriors who are supposedly all for women’s rights standing up for the savage thugs and rapists of Gaza.

Grimly too common, Kepha.

That is *exactly* what “no compulsion” means–you can ‘freely choose’ to be murdered instead.

This is much of what islamic kidnapping is about–taking women as “wives” and sex slaves.

Glad that she’s now safe. Hopefully, she doesn’t try to deny the islamic underpinnings of the jihad against Israel, just b’cos there are fully assimilated Arab muslims living in Israel

Do those Useful Idiots of the female sex sitting in a tent on a US Campus waving the Flag of a country that doesn’t exist know they are supporting the thugs that raped defiled and beheaded young girls that look EXACTLY like themselves while they denigrate the brave men that are hunting down the thugs that raped defiled and beheaded young girls that look exactly like them.
The only men that attack young girls, babies and adult women, and kidnap them are cowards 100% as they know they cannot fight face to face with the IDF and so they hide behind children in Schools or under Hospitals knowing the IDF have much deeper values of humanity than any of those Hamas low life scum..
