Iraq sentences French female jihadist to life in jail
2018-04-19
[Iraq Sun] Iraq on Tuesday sentenced a French woman to life in prison for belonging to the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group, the latest in a series of court rulings since the country's defeat of ISIS.

Djamila Boutoutaou, a 29-year-old of Algerian origin, told a Baghdad court that she had left La Belle France with her husband, a rapper.

She said she thought they were going on holiday but "when I arrived in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund....
I discovered that my husband was a jihadist".

She said she was forced by her husband to join ISIS and live in the "caliphate" that the jihadists proclaimed in 2014 straddling Syria and Iraq.

Her husband was killed near the former jihadist stronghold of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, northern Iraq, and her son died in bombardment, Boutoutaou said.

Two Russian women, both holding children in their arms, were also sentenced to life in prison at the same hearing.

Iraq declared victory in December against ISIS, which at one point controlled a third of the country.

The Iraqi anti-terrorism law empowers courts to convict people who are believed to have helped ISIS even if they are not accused of violence.

In January, an Iraqi court condemned a German woman to death after finding her guilty of belonging to ISIS.

A court the following month sentenced another French woman to seven months in jail for entering Iraq illegally but ordered her release on time already served.

Several dozen Ottoman Turkish women have been sentenced to death under Iraqi anti-terrorism laws.
