Tel-Chai Nation: Saudi apostate in Thailand needs everyone's help

A woman fleeing her abusive family in Saudi Arabia and who converted away from Islam is stuck in Thailand:

On Sunday morning, a new Twitter account was created by an 18-year-old Saudi woman denied entry into Thailand as she fled from what she said was an abusive family.

The first message from Rahaf Mohammed al-Qunun, in Arabic, was at 3:20 a.m. Thai time (2020 GMT Saturday) and posted from the transit area of Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi airport. It said: "I am the girl who escaped Kuwait to Thailand. My life is in real danger if I am forced to return to Saudi Arabia."

Within hours, a campaign sprung up on Twitter dubbed #SaveRahaf. Spread by a loose network of activists around the world, within 36 hours it prompted Thailand's government to reverse a decision to force the young woman onto a plane that would return her to her family.

Qunun was allowed to enter Thailand and on Tuesday was beginning the process of seeking asylum in a third country through the U.N. refugee agency.

There's just one mistake being made here: through the UN? Huge error, IMO, considering they're run by the very savages she's fleeing, and typically ignore people with plights like hers. For now, the Thai government did the right thing to grant her asylum, and they'll hopefully stick with it, and if needed, see that she can be admitted to the USA or anywhere preferable to a hellhole like Saudi Arabia.

It's clear, in addition, that the campaign to allow Saudi women to drive may not be working as hoped either. That could all be taqqiya.

Daniel Byman said:

Islamic law is the law of the land
in Saudi Arabia, and religious officials
have tremendous sway over daily life.

Textbooks in Saudi schools denigrate
nonbelievers and the West and extol martyrdom.

For example, Time magazine reported
that “an 8th grade book states that Allah
cursed Jews and Christians and turned
some of them into apes and pigs.

Ninth-graders learn that Judgment Day
will not come “until the Muslims
fight the Jews and kill them.”

A chapter for a 10th-grade class warns
Muslims against befriending non-Muslims
saying, “It is compulsory for Muslims
to be loyal to each other and consider
the infidels their enemy.”

“Because their legitimacy is linked to
their image as champions of Islam,
Saudi leaders step gingerly in the
world of Islamist politics and have been
hesitant to oppose jihadist causes.”

“Nor has Saudi Arabia tackled the knotty
issue of fire-breathing preachers and
institutions that spread intolerance or
aggressively tried to hinder jihadists
who do not directly threaten the Kingdom.”

“Slavery was a flourishing institution in Arabia
in the 1920s, and for several decades thereafter.

It was not formally abolished in the Kingdom until 1962.

The pilgrimage was the main source. Nigerians
and Sudanese would sell their children in Mecca
to help pay for their journey home, and the
slave trade was one traditional source
of the shareefs’ wealth.”

“In Nejd every emir and sheikh had at least one
black family living in his household, and their
children were assigned as playmates to the children
in the household of their age and sex, growing
up with them and often becoming their
close companions in adult life.”

“When Prince Faisal ibn Abdul Aziz visited
New York [City] in [year] 1944 [CE], the
management of the Waldorf Astoria [hotel] were
shocked that he brought his slave Merzouk with him.”
