Today, Muslim boys are getting the same message east and west: be a “freedom fighter”, fight for the “resistance”, kill Jews – and don’t worry, we have your back! Things have regressed badly in the West. As many of you know, my ex-husband was a leading al-Qaida operative. He truly believed he was doing the right thing, doing God’s work on earth. He didn’t see killing innocent people as wrong, he saw it was something to be celebrated. He was lauded by the mujaheddin, glorified in Afghanistan, praised by Bin Laden. But back then, the Western world wasn’t celebrating him. Today you have so-called “social justice” activists on university campuses openly celebrating Hamas and supporting the Iranian-led “axis of resistance”. We need to reclaim these terms – freedom, justice, resistance. We can no longer stand by while the minds of our young are corrupted with illiberal, evil, murderous ideas.
