JihadUnspun.com Owner Kidnapped by the Taliban

PESHAWAR, Pakistan – “I am Khadija Abdul Qahaar. I am a convert to Islam. I have been advised to make this video. I am going to be killed at anytime.” So began a chilling video released on Wednesday by Taliban militants who are holding Qahaar, a Canadian woman, hostagesomewhere in the tribal areas of Pakistan.

It appears the founder of JihadUnspun.com, Khadija Abdul Qahar, who is a Canadian convert to Islam, was kidnapped by the Taliban and will be beheaded if the Taliban aren’t paid a ransom of $2 million.

This seems to be a very sad state because the site is known for uncovering the truth on the American war on Afghanistan. Also the site is known for showing the Taliban in a neutral light.

Whatever the case, Sister Khadija is in grave danger, and we are not sure as to what steps are being taken by the governments of Canada or Pakistan.

May Allah [swt] protect her and give her strength and patience in this fitnah. May Allah [swt] bring down His help.

And may Allah [swt] guide all the Muslims to the Straight Path.

As a note, Sister Khadija was heading to Bannu, a town in the Northwest Frontier Province of Pakistan to interview the survivors of the first ever US drone attack [Read: U.S. Plans New Drone Attacks in Pakistan]. Her last official letter can be found on the  site here.
