monaeltahawy LindaMottram A few decades ago, I flew from Dammam (in Saudi) to London. A group of about a dozen women (girls really) were travelling with their male 'guardian'. He was a Downs syndrome boy of about 12. During the flight, they shed their black cocoons, emerging ready for some clubbing.

monaeltahawy LindaMottram The Canadian government must give her full protection against the Saudi thugs.

monaeltahawy LindaMottram Saudi is still the crap hole it was in the late 1970's when i went ashore. They wont change unless forced. An Australian SAS soldier on loan from Australia was the big boss on the docks & what he unofficially showed me was disgusting. I hope were still dont have our guys there.

monaeltahawy LindaMottram Totally run by men could never visit or live there

monaeltahawy LindaMottram There is strong discrimination againt women in saudi. Saudi is shit. Not negotiatable

monaeltahawy LindaMottram Swap country with religion

llijbe monaeltahawy LindaMottram No one is worried, she can go to wherever she want no body care

monaeltahawy LindaMottram Wish her all the best

monaeltahawy LindaMottram These shutters that you mentioned it’s basically a jail that abused women in many forms and they can’t leave it to private home for her own actually they can’t leave it at all tell they are dead un less her abuser signed a permission to receive her !

monaeltahawy LindaMottram You can’t even choose a proper photo of your stupid speech 🥴 In this photo i can see these girls looks happy and proud 🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦

monaeltahawy LindaMottram Why only her

monaeltahawy LindaMottram Typical ABC cowardice. Not a single mention that it is the islamic religion that is the cause of all of this.

monaeltahawy LindaMottram Fake news!!! monaeltahawy is the devil, her & other people worked so hard to make up this fake story, and the victim is rahaf now, because of this fukin Devil who manipulated this poor girl /:

monaeltahawy LindaMottram Help kuwaiti stateless women, they don't have any rights since 60 years back. No citizenship, no identity, no educaition, no job UN_Kuwait_bedoon_genocide

monaeltahawy LindaMottram NothingToDoWithIslam

Sophiemcneill monaeltahawy LindaMottram It isn’t a ‘form’ of gender apartheid. It’s plain apartheid. Women in KSA don’t have equal rights to men. Where’s the UN H.R.C.? Ohhh - Saudi Arabia is a member (in great standing with the other dictatorships) and a member of their ‘Women’s Committee!!!!

monaeltahawy LindaMottram So why has Rahaf's father and brother arrived and not her mother and sister? and look at all the male bling dealing with this. Would it be at all possible to have some women in charge here. Don't fool yourselves male privilege in Thailand is doing nicely thankyou.

CandiceMalcolm monaeltahawy LindaMottram Their traditions are sooooo in the dark ages and made up by a false prophet with a pedofile brain! No wonder these people are so messed up! Islamic beliefs should be wiped off the earth

monaeltahawy LindaMottram Now we are beating up on Saudi on behalf of a teenage girl. Not one mention of the outrageous atrocities in Yemen or the 300 + women stoned to death annually for being raped or not wearing their hijab. The MSM are lazy lying scum

exmuslimprophet monaeltahawy LindaMottram It’s refreshing to see a major news outlet making a story on these kinds of issues for once.

Sophiemcneill monaeltahawy LindaMottram

Sophiemcneill monaeltahawy LindaMottram What sexist wankers and we let them into our country's

exmuslimprophet monaeltahawy LindaMottram Simply slavery. And in the West 'feminists' rage about a patriarchy HERE and get giddy at hijab with Nike logo on!!

shababaty monaeltahawy LindaMottram se quejan x todo, ahora se quejan x q tienen un esposo, padre o hermano preocupado que las cuidan? 😇😇😇😇

Aletheiaholic monaeltahawy LindaMottram SpeakerPelosi chuckschumer HouseDemocrats SenateDems cnnbrk PBS

monaeltahawy LindaMottram This is just parrot talk has no actual measure of the case.She is university student as per the photo she published!! How she was locked this whirlwind media is smelly

Sophiemcneill monaeltahawy LindaMottram The hypocrisy of the feminist movement that it equals oppressed men with the oppressor, not with the oppressed women. This only helps the divide and conquer strategy. Mona won’t enjoy the spotlights if she’s calling for the freedom of all especially her compatriots in Egypt.

Sophiemcneill monaeltahawy LindaMottram Why isn’t Saudi guardianship - essentially slavery or at least a violation of liberty and therefore contrary to the UDHR - enough to gain Rahaf asylum? Why does she have to prove she’s in danger too? And why isn’t “the land of the free and home of the brave” fighting for her?

zippydazipster monaeltahawy LindaMottram That's what I call gender prison.

monaeltahawy LindaMottram it is not your business 😂

CandiceMalcolm monaeltahawy LindaMottram Where are the Moderate Muslims when you need them! They are all running to the west! Where are the Feminists? They are cowardly, But joyously wearing the oppressive Nikap or Islam Personal Portable Tent!

monaeltahawy LindaMottram And our current Administration supports this killer Mohammed Bin Salman.

monaeltahawy LindaMottram Saudi r in bed with the US & as such can do nything they want we r simply spectators thats all. US only cares 4 business and $$$. Despickable saudi leaders should be all jailed for crimes against women but..Pointless talking about it, Australia cannot tell Saudi Arabia what to do

Sophiemcneill monaeltahawy LindaMottram Hey Saudi Arabia, the 16th century called and asked for its guardianship policy back. What an embarrasment!!

monaeltahawy LindaMottram Male Guardianship isn’t relevant to her case if she was abused by her family as she claimed, there’re millions of Saudi women who live their lives freely and normally under the Guardianship you talk about.

monaeltahawy LindaMottram you said that her father is a powerful man, so who’s he? your article doesn’t say anything about him at all.

monaeltahawy LindaMottram this is common in Islamic societies where the culture is honor based system

monaeltahawy LindaMottram rahaf84427714 is so so brave. More people need to learn about the male guardianship law in Saudi Arabia.

Sophiemcneill monaeltahawy LindaMottram Love to know the backstory to how she was stopped in transit with a legitimate visa for Australia

monaeltahawy LindaMottram Utterly shocking, what a dreadful place.

monaeltahawy LindaMottram Propaganda jokes

Sophiemcneill monaeltahawy LindaMottram 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just remember UNHCR scandal in Africa last year with exposure of their staff in complicit with Human trafficking gangs in refugees

monaeltahawy LindaMottram I hope she remains under UN protection and gets a visa to Australia, if apt.

Just see who was behind Rahaf escape to Thailand ? Sure it is human trafficking gang and need to expose them and save her

CNN guardian Rahaf is still teenager less than 18 years old, and her family want her back

Sophiemcneill monaeltahawy LindaMottram Muslims coming to a country near you

monaeltahawy LindaMottram KSA needs cutting off once &for all-Rahaf is 1 person,there are many more that get out& get shipped back to face warped/deranged punishment for fleeing How they have their hands around a holy site is some twisted sh*t right there, they're anything but God fearing!

monaeltahawy LindaMottram USA And Another Western Countries Has Enjoyed Saudi's Oil. It's CLUE Of Their Reluctant! SaveRahaf

monaeltahawy LindaMottram Is there a FEMINIST in the house? I thought not.

monaeltahawy LindaMottram So what will happen if 10,000 Saudi children decide to run away from home because they refused to do homework and got disciplined by their parents? Does that make refugees? juveniledelinquents

monaeltahawy LindaMottram This lil terrorist brat is getting way too much air time.

Sophiemcneill monaeltahawy LindaMottram I've never felt more desire to burn the government of Saudi Arabia

monaeltahawy LindaMottram True

Sophiemcneill monaeltahawy LindaMottram What a disgraceful country. Their so called “prince” is a devil and their views are disgusting and an abomination. I am so glad I wasn’t born in such country.

'Rahaf al-Qunun is going to start a revolution': Teen's plight highlights Saudi male guardianshipOpposition to Saudi Arabia's male guardianship system has been highlighted by an 18-year-old Saudi woman's flight from her allegedly abusive family. Lol. The future is masculine. No, your misdirection, rather than putting the spotlight on the method and number of executions in SArabia; 147 beheadings in 2017, but you won't talk about that because you want this here. She did fear for her own life, hardly the anodyne of guardianship. Maybe in the west. But for the east it puts a stoplight on spoiled overindulgence of rich kids and workaholic parents who prefer wealth to raising kids.

'Never alone': Saudi teen Rahaf Alqunun gets guard to ensure safety in CanadaThe refugee agency contracted by the Canadian government to help Saudi teenager Rahaf Mohammed Alqunun settle in Toronto has hired a guard for her safety.

Just make sure that family of hers dosen't land in Canada with there family reunion programme.

Australia urged to clarify visa status of Saudi woman Rahaf Mohammed al-QununAustralia is being asked to clarify reports it has cancelled Saudi teenager Rahaf al-Qunun's visa saverahaf Well - unless it issued the report it can't clarify it. This is one third party using another third party's hearsay to demand a government reveal details about a private international citizen's travel eligibility. Don't they know anything about privacy? This is a person that should be helped by our country she is scared to the bone about being sent back to Saudi with good reason PeterDutton_MP pls review her story ASAP. She is an 18 yo kid with courage & strength she would be a great Australian.

Human Rights Watch urges Australia to consider asylum for young Saudi woman Rahaf AlqununAfter hours of uncertainty, Thai officials say a young Saudi woman hoping to seek asylum in Australia won't be sent home against her will.

Saudi teen Rahaf Alqunun to avoid deportation from ThailandA young woman has been thrown into the international spotlight after her plea for help on social media. Rahaf Alqunun says she fears for her life if she's sent back to Saudi Arabia and she's seeking asylum in Australia. Sophiemcneill ThomasOriti Is it true that Dutton has cancelled her visa? Sophiemcneill ThomasOriti Good, she is with the UN, that is how things should be handled as they will look at her case and find her a safe haven. Any adult, who is not a criminal, should be able to seek refuge when it is so clear that they would otherwise be treated as a form of slave, property. Sophiemcneill ThomasOriti Is it true that Dutton has cancelled her Aussie visa? If so, why? This case is very different from those who came from no threat in Indonesia via people smugglers’ boats. This would seem, if story is true, to be a genuine case of fleeing from possible death to seek asylum.

Australia considers visa for Saudi teen Rahaf al-Qunun after UN grants her refugee statusAustralia is considering granting a visa to Saudi teenager Rahaf al-Qunun after a United Nations agency found the 18-year-old detained at Bangkok airport is a genuine refugee. As long as she integrates and doesn't want to impose Sharia law in any form in Australia. She can of course introduce us to the many culinary delights of her culture. But hey, kill the beasts without cruelty. Australia was her “preferred” country in which to claim asylum. 😂 That actually makes her a migrant, not a refugee. Good news! I hope she'll be granted refugee status and can settle in to a new life in Australia.
