Who is Aafia Siddiqui

Lady al Qaeda: The World’s Most Wanted Woman
The Taliban wanted to trade Bergdahl for her. The Islamic State offered to swap Foley. Why does every jihadi group want the U.S. to free Aafia Siddiqui?

*ARTICLE FROM 2014

Two years ago, a group of senior U.S. national security officials received a tantalizing proposal from officials in Pakistan. If the United States would release a Pakistani woman serving a lengthy prison sentence in Texas for attempted murder, Islamabad would try to free Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who had been missing since 2009 and was thought to be held in Pakistan by Taliban forces.

According to current and former U.S. officials familiar with the proposal, President Barack Obama’s national security advisors swiftly rejected the offer.
To free the prisoner, Aafia Siddiqui, who’s linked to al Qaeda and was convicted in 2010 of attempting to kill Americans in Afghanistan, would violate the administration’s policy of not granting concessions to terrorist groups, the officials concluded. It would also put a potentially dangerous fighter back on the street.

Siddiqui, 42, who’s known in counterterrorism circles as "Lady al Qaeda," has been linked to 9/11 ringleader Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and was once on the FBI’s most-wanted terrorists list. Educated in the United States — she studied at M.I.T. and received a doctorate from Brandeis — Siddiqui was arrested in 2008 in Afghanistan carrying sodium cyanide, as well as documents describing how to make chemical weapons and dirty bombs and how to weaponize Ebola. When FBI and military officials tried to question Siddiqui, she grabbed a weapon left on the table in her interrogation room and fired upon them.

Although U.S. officials never seriously considered trading Siddiqui, she has been a perennial bargaining chip for terrorists and Islamist militants who’ve made her release a condition for freeing a number of American and European prisoners over the years.

The militants had repeatedly threatened to execute Bergdahl if Siddiqui wasn’t set free. And the Islamic State terrorists who murdered American journalist James Foley last week had demanded Siddiqui’s release to spare his life.

Explains why she campaigned against Hillary Clinton & as a radical activist omitted HRC's name from her Women's Rights March.
Sarsour is an antisemite, hates Israel & Jewish people, advocates for terrorists of the same, & HRC did not.

1. They Can Keep Her In A Cell Till Kingdom Come, Sir

But I fail to see a crime in a foreign national adhering to forces the United States is at war against killing U.S. soldiers in uniform, particularly in trying to escape being held as a prisoner of war.

2. A disgrace, and Sarsour should never been a leader in Woman's march

3. Sarsour in 2020 grabbing a spot in the Dem Convention to advocate for hate & division.

Which goes against everything the Democratic Party stands for.
Guess she thought she would make her home in our Party

Biden disavows Linda Sarsour after she speaks at a Democratic convention forum
Campaign says Democratic nominee condemns Palestinian-American activist's views and opposes BDS

“Joe Biden has been a strong supporter of Israel and a vehement opponent of anti-Semitism his entire life, and he obviously condemns her views and opposes BDS, as does the Democratic platform,” Andrew Bates, a Biden campaign spokesman, said in a statement Tuesday to CNN, referring to Sarsour’s embrace of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement targeting Israel. “She has no role in the Biden campaign whatsoever.”

Thank You President Biden..
And here she is today advocating for Aafia Siddiqui, terrorist, murderer, prisoner

Or 'anniversary' one - because of Sarsour.

8. Sarsour is a snake

The left’s version of Milo and Alex Jones. A shameless self-promoter with nefarious views. Both her and Siddiqui can fuck all the way off.
