advocate of Islam
Were not imagine never to adventure into Afghanistan will end by becoming a Muslim activists and defenders of his laws, they were interested to travel to Afghanistan but for the honor of winning were pioneers press characterized him as other journalists, but they did not expect to turn the lead of her life, and turns them upside down .. It's the British press, "Yvonne Ridley."
Yvonne Ridley compared between the humane treatment of high-end, which was treated by members of the Taliban, who accused Western powers Bazlamih and barbarism, and between the cruel and immoral, which treated the prisoners in the prison, "Abu Ghraib" and Guantanamo from a country that claims freedom and progress and civil Voslmt.
Was Yvonne Ridley journalist active and adventure working for the newspaper "Sunday Express" When crept in the dead of night between the Pakistani border - Afghan on a donkey at times, or in a car, run-down break down every five minutes at other times, wearing the sweep Afghan Women's famous, and a pair of the rigid plastic is almost hurts her foot.
Succeeded in crossing the border fascinated with these simple people who endure the hardship of life satisfaction and contentment, Mtelmush good in their faces, and in the attitude of courage and generosity, in spite of hardship.
In the course of its way to Kabul stopped in one of the Afghan villages to be supplied from the supplies and food, and there I met more on the Afghan people friendly hospitable; to stretched out the earth and sleep along with eight women from the Afghan and surprised them how to live, and Ataqlmn with life in a country suffering from the scourge of war for more than a quarter of a century, and laugh from the irony of an Afghan woman; because it is the mother of one child while Afghan women give birth to 15 children.
Having arrived in Kabul and ended the mission decided to return to Pakistan, and in the meantime events occurred atheist of September to decide the United States waged an unjust war on the Afghan people poor, these developments prompted the Taliban government to tighten their security measures in anticipation of a possible war, and closed the Pakistan border with Afghanistan .
Decided Yvonne then escape from the side roads plagiarized personal Afghan woman mute called "Shamim" traveling with her husband to a village on the outskirts of "Jalalabad" to visit his ailing mother, and on the border that the wind that did Tsth ships; where fall press adventure over the ass who install it, did not realize itself only screaming in English, and the camera carried by the fall, to turn into a catastrophe and horror after he heard that a Taliban soldiers.
Yvonne Ridley says: I will never forget the look in the face of the man from the Taliban and he sees the camera. Amid the horror I had hoped to move away, but that did not happen.
The man explodes angry and dragging me on the back of the donkey and destroy the camera, and within minutes, gather a crowd of angry, it's a nightmare and everyone is screaming and shouting: "American spy .. American spy", and are escorted to the prison to be investigated.
The moments of arrested moments of terrible and heavy, and here began Discussion coming in it and imagine the future of the dark, and jumped to mind stories that were promoted by the media and the press about the horrors of the Taliban government hungry for blood, but little by little and with friction, "Yvonne Ridley" with the Taliban, taking reassurance leak to itself, and began a mental image fostered by the unjust and the media in the minds fade, it changes its place individual image are characterized by gentleness ethics, and care for the rights, even if the infidel or enemy.
Did not one of the men searched, but sent to a woman to check to see if was carrying a weapon, then took her to an unknown location, and the surprise was that the place is air conditioning and an adjoining bathroom clean, and the treatment by the guard and translator and investigator at the very sophistication and compassion.
And here I was surprised when you strike from eating, he said to her translator and keeper: We are not happy because you Atraqan yourself unnecessarily, that our religion calls us to the charity of others. And called her doctor to pursue their health status, and just before her release after being denied the charge of espionage investigations by, an old man brought her update and reason to Islam, and he received Sheikh on the promise of the study of Islam.
And tells the story of Yvonne Ridley, saying: "I refused to Oklmanm and hunger strike, and the more I have become ever more a rejection of their actions on increasing to you with me, and they say: You are our sister and our guest, and we want you to be happy, and I can not believe their words, and I say to myself maybe if treated gently Saaamilonni harshly, The trip will begin with electricity torture, rape and so on, and I imagine they will do with me what he does every Muslim Americans in Guantanamo or Abu Ghraib, but I have not seen one man looked at me, harassing me. "
Following the release and return to her country remembered Yvonne Ridley promise made by the same Sheikh Afghan, and I stayed to read the Quran, and studied Islam for thirty months, I felt, during which they live spiritual journey up to the tops of lofty of serenity and reconciliation with the self, I felt, during which a state of transparency and purity unusual, and was one of the first books that I read, much influenced by the book "Milestones" Qutb Professor of Allah's mercy, to be announced at the end, for converting to Islam, and begin a new phase in her life.
Once the announcement Yvonne Ridley for her conversion to Islam, launched the Western media lashed out against it, calling it infected with a mental illness that affects rights after his abduction, where it becomes a person relates to or sympathetic with those who kidnapped him, but Yvonne Ridley confirmed that it did not relate emotionally to one of the Taliban, who arrested her.
Not only was the media, has received Yvonne Ridley death threats, was assaulted beaten by the British authorities not to her person, but to embrace Islam, even though it was a favorite too with the Blair government the British, and if her messages she says that anyone who converts to Islam, or wearing a veil in the West, put himself in the first lines of Saddam.
And still her pen and efforts dedicated to service its debt issues, do not take in God to anybody as long, do not bow to pressure from unjust or oppressive
