'Free' is a vastly overstated word here. This beautiful young woman will not ever be free of the memories and horrors of the ten years she spent as a child slave/sex slave in Islam. Please pray for her.
Yazidi woman, 21, kidnapped from Iraq by ISIS,
freed from Gaza after 11 years captivity
The abuse of Yazidis by the Islamic State (ISIS) was widely published. Many mistakingly think that ISIS is different from other jihad groups. The only differences with ISIS were its claim to be the new caliphate, and its sudden rise in the modern era. The rapidity of its expansion by the sword was reminiscent of the early days of Islam. ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was a dedicated Muslim theologian who preached jihad by the sword in full alignment with Quranic and Hadith texts.
“M” has been identified as Fawzia Sido. She was “kidnapped from her home in Iraq when she was 11, then sold and trafficked to Gaza where she ‘remained stuck there for years.'”
Her plight demonstrates that her Palestinian ISIS captor saw Gaza as a place where there would be a market for an ISIS captive, rather than indignation at the very idea. The October 7 massacre and the celebrations that followed that massacre in Gaza show up the similarities between jihad groups that the West assumes are completely disparate.
Free at last: Yazidi woman held in Gaza finally leaves enclave
by Ohad Merlin, Jerusalem Post, October 1, 2024:
M., kidnapped from her home in Sinjar as a ten year old girl, was lured into Gaza and remained stuck there for years.
On September 3, The Jerusalem Post published the story of M., a Yazidi woman who was kidnapped from her home in Sinjar, Iraq, as an 11-year-old girl in 2014, forced to marry a Palestinian ISIS fighter, and then lured into Gaza, where she was subject to torture from her husband’s family, stranded and far from her family for years.
The Post can now confirm that following rigorous bureaucratic and diplomatic procedures and several failed attempts, M. has finally managed to leave the Gaza Strip. She is being treated at an American facility in the region and is making her way back to her family.“The Jewish Schindler”Steve Maman, the Canadian Jewish businessman popularly nicknamed “The Jewish Schindler” for his actions to rescue and aid thousands of Yazidis from ISIS captivity, pushed efforts behind the scenes. He described his feelings in a conversation with the Post.“I’m feeling tired; this has been the most difficult rescue that I’ve ever taken part in. Many interactions were critical and hurtful, but the success of the mission is what heals you from these attacks. This, for me, is a ray of light. M. has a chance to rebuild her life. She was 11 years old when they took her, and no child chooses at that age to become a hostage at the hands of ISIS-Hamas.…
Fawzia Amin Sido, who was kidnapped by Islamic State in Iraq in 2014 when she was just 11 and later taken to Gaza, told Voice of America Kurdish (VOA) that she tried to take her own life many times while being held in the Strip. “Because of what I saw in my life, I tried to commit suicide by taking pills,” she said.
