Niloofar Rahmani seeks asylum

An Afghan pilot, Niloofar Rahmani, who has been featured in interviews in the international press as the face of Afghanistan’s future – a female Air Force pilot – applied for asylum in the United States out of fear for her safety. From Reuters;

A recipient of the U.S. State Department’s “Women of Courage” award in 2015, Capt. Rahmani had been a symbol of efforts to improve the situation of women in her country, more than a decade after the fall of the Taliban regime.

Mohammad Radmanish, a defense ministry spokesman, said the government hoped that her request would be denied by U.S. authorities who have spent billions trying to build up Afghan security forces.

I guess she had just completed an 18-month course in the US at great cost to the US and Afghanistan, and now she doesn’t want to return to the country she promised to defend. She must have understood the risks when she began. They should really stop bringing those guys here to train – they don’t want to leave.

    1. …. and here’s my surprised face.

      I’m not surprised that she wants to stay either….

    3. IDC SARC, I bet you’d take her someplace for a game of “The Pirate and the Slave girl” on a first date!!

  4. I don’t suppose the Kerry State Department will be rescinding its “Women of Courage” award.

    It’s okay for US pilots to be in Afghanistan but not her.

    After 18 months is the US, she has learned that what what CAIR and others describe as unabashed hatred of Muslims isn’t true. Imagine that.

    1. And sadly rather than being willing to take that knowledge (what the US is) with her and help shape Afganistan into something better, she wants to cut load and GTFO.

    2. Apparently she also figured out that Christians, Jews, and atheists treat islamic women significantly better than moslems do.

    3. Maybe she’d rather go for life here versus going back home and being beaten daily by a muzzie husband that views her as his property.

      1. Well, they could drop her off in Detroit for a weekend. If she survives, she might have a change of heart.

        3. about 10 miles down Michigan Ave lies Dearborn, the largest Muslim center in the country.

          1. What the hell are you talking about? South Michigan Avenue ends at 63rd street, 6+ miles south of the Loop. Dearborn ends at West Polk.

  6. The problem here is not that she’s afraid to face danger as a combat pilot, she’s concerned she and her family will be killed because she dared to become a pilot instead of a burqa wearing domestic servant confined to her home by a patriarchal theology founded a thousand years ago….

    Our allies there fuck little kids and treat women worse than farm animals…it is to our eternal shame that we have decided to work with goat fucking, child raping, wife beating fucktards and call them allies….instead of forcing them to our will or killing them all.

    2. So she says. The Afghanistan Defense Ministry has a different view and where, by the way, will her loved ones be while she’s at Macy’s?

      1. Way to beg the question, 2/17.

        It’s self-evident by now that the crazies over there are willing to attack even young girls just for going to school. What do you think they’re threatening to do to a woman pilot?

    3. I think it was more the male Afgan pilots treated her like shit while she saw US female pilots treated as equals. WAR STORY ALERT: Years ago I hitched a ride on a Navy C-130 that had a female co-pilot. She kept leaving the damn seat down.
      I know a number of male Afgan pilot trainees have simply dropped off of the map at their training bases, think we had a couple at Little Rock AFB C-130 School.

    4. “Our allies there fuck little kids and treat women worse than farm animals…”

      And our enemies there are even worse. Which to my mind is a great reason to nuke it from orbit.

      2. He was engaged when she was 6 I think but waited until until she was 9 or 10 before fucking her…religion of peace my ass.

    6. “Our allies there fuck little kids and treat women worse than farm animals…”

      Been there, seen it. Not just little kids, they’ll fuck any animal that sits still for more than a minute. Sheep, donkeys, cattle… They view each other and animals as good for recreation and Women are strictly for reproduction.

      1. And there we have our ostensive definition of “Holier than Thou.”

        They wipe their butts with their fingers and smear it on the walls; rape children; engage in bestiality; abuse women; torture each other and anyone else they disagree with; consider it a duty to lie to those outside their cult; and yet consider us to be filthy.

        They’ve needed a good butt-whupping, mosque demolishing, our-way-or-the-highway experience for a looong time now.

  7. There was a song back a century ago that said something like “How ‘Ya Gonna Keep ‘Em Down on the Farm (After They’ve Seen Paree).”

    After they see what America is like, and they sure know what Afghanistan is like, whaddaya expect? Who wouldn’t want to stay in the USA?

      1. Great minds with long memories I guess, Mustang.

        I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought of that song!

        1. Color me weird (if you haven’t already), but I was a fan of Eddie Cantor when I was a kid. I loved me some vaudeville. Do not ask me why cause I have no clue.

  10. Maybe she can shack up with Huma and they can play flight simulator on Weiners laptop when the FBI gives it back.

  11. Welcome to America enjoy all our free social benefits.
    Any bets how long before the rest of her family is shipped to the CONUS.

    1. Probably a lot faster than the interpreters who are still waiting on Jawn Fraud sKerry, to get off his ass and issue them visas.

    2. Why would she want to go back to her birth Country when she could stay here and enjoy a life of “benefits” and take-out chicken?

  12. I taught her English in Kabul. Her and other male/female pilots lived at a place called Thunder Lab on the Afghan side of the fence at Kabul airport.

    I lived in the compound with the students. During the day I would be out taking photos and at night we would march them to the ISAF side DEFAC and get them chow and help them with there English.

    It wasn’t a bad gig, had my own room and free internet, only thing is we had to live on the Afghan side of the fence in our own little compound guarded by Air Force security forces.

  13. But Latifa Nabizada was trained by the Russians in the 1980s. She reappeared and flew missions for the ANA. She flew with child beside her.

  14. I get it, I agree with her, I understand and have empathy for her

    BUT, no one saw this coming when she was recruited/joined??

  15. Since we are not going to take the place over and run it ourselves it is (past) time to get out. Doing a halfassed job like we are doing now is just prolonging the inevitable.

  17. I apologize for the hijacking of this thread, but the Tenth Circuit just denied a review of an administrative appeal for asylum made by a Chinese Christian named Ting Xue,

    From the decision:

    Xue is a long-practicing, faithful Christian. He was raised as a Christian by his mother and was baptized in 1998 when he was thirteen years old. Xue attended services two or three times a week at an illegal “house church.”2 In light of the need to avoid detection by government officials, the house church Xue attended gathered at a different member’s house each week. Despite this precaution, on Friday, October 26, 2007, Chinese authorities raided a house church service attended by Xue.3 The authorities arrested everyone in attendance and took them to the police station.

    At the police station, each church member faced interrogation. In the interrogation room, two police officers sat behind a table facing Xue and another officer stood behind him. Officers questioned Xue as to his personal/biographical information and sought information regarding the organization and leadership of the house church. After Xue persisted in responding that there was no organizer of the house church, officers slapped Xue across the head and used a baton to hit Xue on his upper left arm. Because he was extremely frightened, all Xue could
    do was continuously repeat that he did not know the answers to the officers’ questions. After the interrogation ended, the officers placed Xue in a small, dim jail cell with four other men from his house church. The five men shared a single wooden bucket for a toilet—a bucket not emptied during Xue’s entire incarceration. Officers routinely mocked Xue and his cell mates, referring to themselves as the prisoners’ “God,” claiming the power to refuse to feed them, and taunting them to call on Jesus for rescue. The prisoners were fed a bowl of porridge twice a day. Sometimes before they were fed, the officers forced the prisoners to sing the national anthem to ridicule the prisoners’ habit of praying before eating. Xue remained in custody for three days and four nights. Xue was released from imprisonment only after his mother paid a significant fine. That is, although Xue’s entire yearly salary at the shoe factory was 25,000 yuan, the fine paid by Xue’s mother to secure his release was 15,000 yuan. Upon his release, he was forced to sign a document guaranteeing he would not attend any more illegal church meetings. Officers warned Xue that if he ever again attended services at a house church, he would be severely punished. Xue was required to report to the police station once every week and remain for one hour.

    The administrative judge and the Tenth Circuit ruled he had not established there was a credible threat that he would be persecuted if he returned to China.

    I can’t help but think that there is a double standard for some religions over others.

    Decision can be found here: http://www.ca10.uscourts.gov/opinions/15/15-9540.pdf?mc_cid=d851e6212c&mc_eid=6aaefcbf68

    1. Why would he apply for asylum? As a Christian, he is promised persecution in the practice of his faith. He is exported to persevere, to bear that hardship out of his desire to be like his Lord.

      Or, he can toe the line and fall off the cops’ radar. It’s up to him.

      I just get really tired of people who don’t read the fine print on their contracts.

  18. Can’t help but think that this program (Female Pilots) was nothing more that the SJW’s in Obama’s administration trying to force their agenda down the throats of the Afghan Military just like they did ours.
    These female pilots are nothing more than pawns in the game.
    I don’t blame her for stepping back and reconsidering her future.
    Her and her family are now prime targets.

  19. I must be odd man out. We ought to embrace her request and this woman is hardly the type who will be a welfare burden. Give her a commission and let her be a shining example to counter the anti-west propaganda.

    We need to get real about some of these countries…Afghanistan will never be a bastion of freedom and equality and if we are serious about reforming imigration; why not support an educated migrant with useful skills?

    Plus she is hittable which gives het extra points!
