After an al-Qaeda terrorist cell flew a couple of hijacked jets into the World Trade Center in New York a Canadian woman, Beverly Giesbrecht from British Columbia, converted to Islam. Until now I didn’t know she existed.
If it wasn’t for the headline grabbing news story that Giesbrecht, a Canadian citizen who now goes by the name of Khadija Abdul Qahaar had been kidnapped at gunpoint (so the story goes anyway), I probably never would have heard of her as I don’t tend to go out of my way to visit Canadian pro-terrorists websites like the one she runs and publishes on at jihadspun.com.
Nevertheless I find her story intriguing, and dare I say, hardly believable. Although I could be wrong about Giesbrecht aka Qahaar, and though I don’t really care if I am or not anyway, I think the 52-year-old woman is running some kind of scam to help out the jihad cause she supports.
For all we know this woman and a couple of her terrorist associates (and don’t think after being in Pakistan for as long as she has been that she hasn’t made any friends) could have planned her kidnapping all along, and that their hope is that Canadian government pays a ransom for her release. Again I could be wrong, but when it comes to terrorist sympathizers, which according to the Simon Wiesenthal Center of Holocaust Studies says she is (they’re the experts, but I wonder what CSIS, the RCMP and Stockwell Day have to say about that) I trust them about as far as I could walk into a public building with a suicide vest strapped to my chest.
I have no sympathy for Geisbrecht-Qahaar, nor do I believe that she has been kidnapped. I think it’s a ruse.
Why would I think that you might be asking…Well it might have something to do with the fact that she posted an urgent request asking for financial help to get out of Pakistan, which she described on her website as erupting into a full-scale war zone. Funny, news reports I have been catching (admittedly I haven’t seen them all) haven’t alluded to what she is saying, but who am I to say that she’s either lying or blowing things way out of proportion.
Something else that I find curious is how come she just didn’t head straight to the Canadian Embassy in Karachi, Islamabad and Islamabad, or at the very least sent them an email regarding her perilous circumstances instead of hoping that visitors to her website would make cash donations to her cause via PayPal, credit card and Western Union.
I don’t know but like I said it sounds to me like she might be running a scam. Her friends last heard from her 11 days ago.
Whether or not she is running a scam or not, the Tory government is apparently going out of their way to help this particular supporter of jihad, but then again she isn’t facing murder charges like that other Canadian sack of shit being held in Guantanamo on murder and terrorism support charges, Omar Khadr. Lucky for her-eh?
She may be a Canadian citizen and deserving of the Canadian government’s aid, but I have to wonder why the woman went to Peshwar in the first place, as should the Canadian government and the rest of Canada should be wondering about any Canadian citizen who has rather perilous ties to jihad.
If she didn’t have those ties does anybody really think she would have gone to Peshwar in the first place? She probably has friends in high places there, and that when she went there it was to help them with fundraising and that it is quite possible her kidnapping was part of that plan.
My theory could be wrong, but what if it isn’t and the feds learn during the course of their investigation that indeed she is running a scam? What should happen to her, keeping in mind she is a Canadian citizen who obviously was so moved by the 9/11 attacks she converted to Islam to share with them in their jihad against the west.
We are talking about one f**ked up woman Canada, and whether or not she orchestrated her own kidnapping or not, should she ever return to Canada I’m thinking a national security certificate my be in order.

1 Apparent Ransom Demand For Release Of Jihad Unspun Website Owner Beverly Giesbrecht // Jan 11, 2009 at 11:52 AM
[...] Is The Kidnapping of Beverly Giesbrecht a Jihad Scam? Sphere: Related Content [...]

She actively promotes and glorifies attacks on U.S. and coalition forces. I believe Canada is bravely fighting in Afghanistan thus she glorifies attacks on her own county’s citizens.
So, the question is should any entity, let alone the Canadian Govt. give ransom money for her “release” how many others will die as a result of the ransom paid? The money would go directly to those shooting Canadian soldiers.
I recommend the Canadian Govt. give precisely 2 cents for her release. If that is not enough then offer 2 cents for her quick dispatch via stones, knife or gun.
This woman is a traitor to her people, country, women and the entire free world

Geoff,
I don’t know man. I think she staged her own kidnapping, and I think the Canadian govt. might be thinking the same thing.
al-Jazeera won’t confirm whether she was on assignment for them or not, and that leads me to believe that she was lying about that too.
There are too many things that don’t add up, and at the end of the month if I am wrong about her, we’ll be seeing a video in which her head is cut off.

I’d ignore her. She converted to Islam and jumped into the frey of her own free will. Let this stupid woman reap what she sowed.

ID51,
It would appear that she is being ignored. It has been almost a week and we have heard nothing about her head being chopped off. I guess that ransom demand that was sent to the Globe and Mail was a bluff.
Seven days and counting since the deadline for the ransom expired. Do you think she’s still alive, or do you think she will be the star of yet another jihad home movie?
I agree, she made her choices and now she must live with them and be prepared to die for them.
I really doubt anybody is buying into this “kidnapping” thing. Not even the media appears to be too interested. Neither does the government.
They must be on the same page as me, and believe like I do that Giesbrecht is running a scam.

Is she running a sacm or was she kidnapped by CIA to defame Taliban via a ransom video?
7 CG // Jul 4, 2009 at 8:55 AM
h,
I really think she is running a scam. As for the CIA kidnapping her to discredit or defame the Taliban, I really don’t think so. She’s a nobody, and she would be of little use or value to the CIA or any other spy agency for that matter.
Giesbrecht is just an effed up woman who thinks she has what it takes to be a journalist. No way man, she’s conspired with her jihad friends to do a fake kidnap to help raise money for the Taliban. Her mistake though was assuming that people in Canada would give a f*** about her.

Affiliate Marketing is a performance based sales technique used by companies to expand their reach into the internet at low costs. This commission based program allows affiliate marketers to place ads on their websites or other advertising efforts such as email distribution in exchange for payment of a small commission when a sale results.

Hey there Henry, thanks for the FYI, but you know what, and I think you know this; affiliate marketing, unless you want to spend a lot of time working on getting the right fit when it comes to merchandiser’s banners and text links on your website, isn’t all that it is cracked up to be. If you want to earn revenue from your website’s traffic not to expect too much, not unless you have luck on your side, and a shitload of traffic to your website. I’m talking you know, a couple of hundred thousand hits every couple of days. You might want to also explore Chitika and Infolinks, text link pay per click tools that I find far more effective than affiliate marketing could ever be for publishers like myself.
With all due respect Henry, affiliate marketing is dying a slow death, and not only that, what money you do make is shit, unless of course you have a lot of spare time on your hands, the aforementioned luck on your side, and a lot of patience to make it work for you–you know, that trial and error thing.
