For months, I have been a vocal supporter of Steve Maman’s work rescuing girls from the devout Islamic State.
Please contribute to the fund to buy these girls freedom in these horrific slave auctions.

Montreal businessman Steve Maman is battling the Islamic State militant group with a campaign to free young women and girls from sexual captivity.Story continues below advertisement
Steve Maman, a Montreal businessman, launched a campaign last year to save girls and young women from captivity in the brutal hands of Islamic State militants in Iraq.
By Christopher Reynolds Staff Reporter, Published on Sat Aug 15 2015
A Montreal businessman has spearheaded the release of what he says are 128 Yazidi and Christian girls and young women from sexual slavery at the hands of Islamic State militants, with a project in motion to save many more.Steve Maman, already being dubbed the “Jewish Schindler” of Iraqi minorities by news outlets, is reported to have raised more than $200,000 — $50,000 over one recent weekend alone — to pay for the release of the captives during the past year. Ten more are expected to be liberated in the coming days.
As the world watched in horror while the Islamic State extremist group swept through northern Iraq last summer, capturing and executing thousands of members of the country’s minorities, Maman said he felt compelled to act.
“It’s a level of barbarism which was on another level of persecution,” the 42-year-old father of six said.
“The Talmud teaches us, whoever saves one life saves the world entire” — an aphorism quoted famously by Liam Neeson in the 1993 Oscar winner Schindler’s List.
Last August, up to 5,000 Yazidis were executed, sometimes en masse, in Iraq’s Sinjar district and beyond, according to the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights. Thousands more women and girls were sold into sexual servitude or taken as brides by Islamic State fighters, UN researchers found.
Canon Andrew White, until recently the pastor of one of the largest churches in Baghdad, connected Maman with negotiators and helped him navigate Iraq’s web of tribal networks.
“He is somebody who is really like a brother. He’s the first person who’s come to our aid,” White told the Star by phone from Israel.
Montreal’s Rabbi Saadiah Elhadad called for deeper military commitments from western leaders.
“I would like to see more organizations and people around the world emulate this kind of action,” he said.
A friend of Maman, Elhadad noted the rescue project’s so far unsuccessful appeals for cash to more than 60 church organizations across the country.
Maman, a Canadian of Sephardic Jewish descent, drew parallels to the Holocaust, “except in the Holocaust they would burn bodies of people that were already dead; here, they’re actually burning them to kill them.”
Last year the crystal wholesaler and classic cars dealer called on his business contacts and friends in the Jewish community to finance his project, titled the Liberation of Christian and Yazidi Children of Iraq (CYCI).
Maman also worked his industry connections in Baghdad to reach hostage negotiators and United Nations and government officials.
Things began to snowball after he launched a GoFundMe account last month that set a target of half a million dollars. He’s now said to be aiming for $5 million.
The money has made its way through front-line brokers, who take a hefty cut, to Islamic State combatants in the mountain ranges of Iraqi Kurdistan, Maman said. The girls can return to safety only for a fee of between $1,000 and $3,000, many having suffered violent physical and sexual abuse, he said.
About 2,700 young women and girls remain in captivity behind Islamic State lines, according to Maman. “If we get half of them, we’ll be lucky,” he said.
A CYCI promotional video shows a young woman, taken from Mosul as a sex slave, reuniting with her father in an emotional embrace on the outskirts of the northern city of Dohuk last month. Until very recently, neither knew if the other was alive.
Maman cited Oskar Schindler, the German factory owner credited with saving up to 1,200 Jewish lives during the Holocaust, as a source of inspiration.
“He’s a hero not just to me but to every human being,” Maman said. He also nodded to the lesser known Sir Nicholas Winton — “the British Oskar Schindler.”
Like Schindler, Maman’s early focus on the bottom line morphed into a humanitarian mission in a crisis. The Moroccan-born Montrealer’s initial interest in Iraq was based on business. He said he was in the market for classic cars to import.
The Yazidi religion is one of Iraq’s oldest and includes mostly ethnically Kurdish members. Assyrian Christians, one of the last groups to speak Aramaic, the language believed to have been spoken by Jesus Christ, have also faced brutal persecution over the past year, with gruesome images appearing on Islamic State social media accounts.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper visited Canadian-trained Kurdish fighters in northern Iraq last May, announcing $139 million in humanitarian aid.
Gill Rosenberg, a Canadian-Israeli Jewish woman originally from Vancouver, spent the past nine months battling Islamic State militants on the front lines in Iraq and Syria. Now she has united with CYCI, appearing in a video posted to their Facebook page last Wednesday.
“What I saw happening was a genocide and not just a traditional war,” said the 31-year-old former Israeli Defense Forces soldier, believed to be the first female foreign fighter to join Kurdish forces.
“When you target women and children and kidnap them and sell them into sex slavery, at that point you are trying to destroy a people, and I couldn’t stay quiet and allow that to happen,” she said.
“I was raised with a strong Holocaust education, and I truly believe that when we say never again, that doesn’t just apply to the Jewish people, but to anyone.”

Political problems show how important it is to have an ideology that is rooted in ethics: human rights & ecology.
Besides sadist Muslims that tyrannize humanity, mentally misled & misleading people think they can’t change things, can’t change governance for human rights & ecology, can’t change that Muhammad’s unethical cult exists & tyrannizes humanity.
Out of this self-deceptive small-minded mindset they change just so much as they believe they can, making everybody’s situation more deceptive & deceiving & therefore even much more dangerous.
The wishful thinking people have towards Muhammad’s Muhammadism a.k.a. Islam doesn’t make the wishing reality & never will.
Education about sadist, racist slaver, pederast, crucifier… Muhammad must destroy the Taqiyya deception cemented by governments, academia & media.
The soldiers for human rights have been fundamentally betrayed by current administrations.
But we can start the global government Globalfirm that protects Human rights & ecology.
Iran, the US, Europe, Russia, Asia all countries must halt nuclear waste-production plans, eliminate Muhammad glorification-programming & further cultivation of ecological electricity options. Furthermore they must recognize Globalfirm, the consequent act, as global government.
The world is a natural immigration country. It can’t be that we create immigration ghettos, where Jihad-breeding & brainwashing thrives, while we can’t immigrate to places like North Cameroon/ Nigeria, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran being areligious, atheist, believing in human rights & ecology as benchmark & definition of ethics let’s say for locational astrological reasons.
Boko Haram, Obama’s partners (he blocked an helicopter-arms deal from Israel to the Nigerian Army) with as he promoted them “legitimate concerns” keep on murdering the public in Africa, Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, Mali… They have connections of course to Sudan, Al Shabab (Somalia, Kenia..), Isis..:
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/aug/12/suspected-boko-haram-bomb-in-nigerian-market-kills-about-50 ;
Obama Hussein must got the whole Hip Hop culture wrong. Cause Hip Hop culture can’t have itself wrong unless. So like when Jay Z rapped ‘nigga what…Nigga who.’
Obama Hussein remembering that his pederast, sadist cult-‘prophet’ was a white Arab owning African slaves who proclaimed his theist lie or fantasy turned Africans black so their descandants would be slaves to Arabs & Turks, President Obama went straight up to Saudi Arabia where Africans are called slave (Abeed means African or slave in Arabic), where African castrated slaves are held captive, not making any demands to free them, where racist Sharia laws & courts annul marriages if one partner is African, instead bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia like saying ‘I’m yo slave’.
Theism: liberalism gone wrong.
Government, mass media, academia & social media condemning Muhammadism should be the only way kids, people should get in touch with Muhammad’s sadist, racist, pederast commandments & agenda.
Not in mosques or any other groups.
It can’t be that we do nothing while a second Saudi Arabia is formed in Iraq, Syria, Lybia. We need presidents that promise to eliminate easy targets like Isis, Boko haram, Al Shabab, Jihadis in Russia, Asia, wherever. Either through truth about sadist racist slaver, pederast Muhammad or with weapons.
Presidents that recognize ethics as human rights & ecology & are willing to go to war immediately when these two values are harmed even ideologically like in Islam.
Presidents that want the global government Globalfirm protecting individual human rights & ecology.
The mass media, academia, political parties don’t cover in no way Muhammad’s unethical side like his sadist open end commands to mass-murder, torture enslave, rape innocent people, his enslavement of Africans, his pederasty, instead idealize him.
The only way people get in touch with these aspects of Muhammadism is through brainwashing terrorist groups (or the counter-Jihad movement).
That can’t be.
The cause or effect of the mass-media’s idealizing lies about the not to idealize person Muhammad who really was an unjust sadist, pederast, rapist, racist slaver tyrant is the suppression of procreation of people who live by & for the truth. I think I’m single cause of that, can’t thrive politically nor financially, economically. This also goes for people who prefer beer & Marihuana over beer & cigarettes or hard liquor who get suppressed.
We need global governing & army to protect human rights & ecology (=ethics).
We must destroy Islam through attrition in mass media.
Truth should make Muslims convert to areligion, atheism, human rights the new religion.
People need to make sure the Islamic governments don’t use them as human shields in war.
Matter of fact Muslims use brainwashed people as (psychological) human shields.
Muhammad invented the slavery of Africans by proclaiming that his deity colored them black so their descendants would be slaves to Arabs & Turks. He had African slaves, was white & dreamed about a pederast paradise with only whites. Abeed means slave or African in Arabic. This slavery exists together with racist laws in Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Mauritania for example.
There are 2 parts of Muhammadism: Islam (outward deception/betrayal) & Jihad (uncoded Muhammadist war) .
There are no segregated war times in Muhammadism. It’s an unjust war all time. War against human rights.
Besides of incitement to mass-murder, torture, enslave, extort, Muhammadism teaches to be rough to non-Muslims & soft to Muslims. However the Sharia-dogma for “Muslims” remains sadist, racist, unjust, theist brainwash.
Muhammadan Jihad & Sharia is part of Germany’s history under Hitler. The massive immigration of Turks to Germany might had been a search for spiritual identity as sadist Muhammad declared that his deity colored Africans black so their descendants would be slaves to Arabs & Turks. Here a text from my page Soundclick.com/Globalfirm:
“The Hitler Islam connection: The facts written here are from what I’ve read & remember & could be subject to errors.
Hitler said the only prophet he would respect was Muhammad.
Muhammad was a sadist torturer who let innocent people burn alive for not praying, a mass-murderer, racist slaveholder who seem to have initiated the enslavement of Africans by proclaiming that his deity colored Africans black so their descendants would be slaves to the Arabs & Turks, he was a rapist who wanted all women to have their clitoris cut out, crucifier, a pederast who kissed little boys’ penises & sucked on boys’ tongues & lips, an unjust man who robbed & didn’t cared about radical human rights.
Jews had to under the Hitler-regime sew a textile star as known from the Israel flag, on their clothes to be vulnerable. This idea, the textile yellow jewish star law was copied from an muhammadan tyranny since probably the 9th century in Baghdad where it was used probably without the more modern star-symbol & maybe for all non-Muslims.
There was a terrorist Muhammadan in the middle east who continued Muhammad’s command to terrorize non-muhammadans according to Muhammad’s untemporal commandments. His name was Al-Husseini or something & he was appointed Grand mufti of Jerusalem, an islamic authority. He was financed by the Hitler-regime, then invited to Berlin where he was further financed & he was spreading his hate in Arabic, weekly through a radio-station from Berlin to the middle east, citing the Quran, promoting Nazis.
Amin Al-Husseini swore allegiance to the Ottoman Empire during the Armenian genocide & was an officer stationed in Smyrna and & was active in the Armenian genocide that mass-murdered innocent Armenians (Christians).
He met with Hitler, planned the Hitler-regime death-camps in which Jews (6 million Jews were exterminated), Christians, Gypsies, Africans, intellectuals, human rights activists, homosexuals & socialists were tortured, enslaved, starved, killed. He for example urged in a letter to not let a special number of Jewish children to be freed for ransom money but to kill them. I’ve read he incognito visited the gas-chambers in Auschwitz.
It was jihad, Islamic terror. After Al-Husseini weighed in the Nazis shifted from deportation of Jews from Europe to mass-murder.
He also overviewed the only religious SS unit, SS was the Hitler-regime terrorist group in uniforms, it was Islamic of course with halal food & Islamic style SS-uniforms.
Al-Husseini’s was uncle to terrorist Islamic Nobel prize winner Arafat.
Hitler took over the government in 1933, 5 years after the first mosque in Germany was build in Berlin.
These facts should be known to every historian, pupil, student.”
There wouldn’t be no problem with immigration, the officially non-Muhammadan regions are interesting places of the world, wouldn’t be the government’s of those regions, lack of education on pederast, racist slaver & sadist Muhammad.
Cause this combination is disastrous.
Governments must get clear on ethics: human rights & ecology.
Here, immigration gone wrong, copy-pasted from a comment from a Pamelageller.com reader:
” “Khaybar” is thename of a famous incident in
which Mohammed led his followers into a ‘battle’ with a peaceful tribe
of Jews who lived in the settlements of Khaybar, about 40 miles from Medina.
The Khaybar community were well known as productive farmers who
provisioned the whole area, they were also famous for their
hospitality, lighting beacons so that travellers in the desert could
find their way to some sort of shelter even at night.
Mohammed’s agents
got into the towns pretending to be travellers. They were treated as
guests and then got up in the middle of the night and killed their
hosts. Victorious in the subsequent battle, Mohammed ordered between 600 and 900 Jewish men beheaded and took the women and children as
slaves.
Mohammed had the one Jewish tribal leader and his son killed,
then took the son’s 17 year old widow for a ‘wife’ on the same day.
When Moslems chant “Khaybar Khaybar ya Yahud” (“Khaybar, Khaybar, Oh
Jews!”) they are remembering this slaughter with pride and expressing a
wish to repeat it.” ”
It is mass-psychologically crucial to expose these things in mass media, educate about Muhammad’s sadism, slavery, racism, pederasty, sadist open end commandments etc., about Hitler’s atrocities in connection to Islam, about Muhammadism’s unjust violent history til today if we honestly don’t want this brainwashing & Jihad-violence to happen over & over again. It is political education.
Expose & ban the lunatic ideology of the white fascist inventor of slavery of Africans Muhammad, for the pride of Africans!
If we don’t want Jihad to reoccure again & again we have to educate about this pederast, white fascist inventor of slavery of Africans, (who justified slavery of Africans by saying that his deity colored Africans black so their descendants would be slaves to Arabs & Turks,) who dreamed about an all white people paradise with pederasty,
publicly shame, expose the rapist, thief, extortionist, deceiver, racist, mass-murderer, unjust torturer, crucifier who burned alive innocent people to death.
If government officials aint got that political education they are a public security threat, not dedicated to their task, not fit to do their job, disrespectful.
Apostates of theism unite for human rights the new religion.
No more power to people who are brainwashed with religious contracts they made with unicorns, Santa claus, deities or pederast, rapist, inventor of African slavery, deceiver & sadist Muhammad.
Islam works in two ways: Islam (Taqiyya-deception) & Jihad-violence.
Just like I don’t want the government to be infested with theism I don’t want it to represent any religion of Taqiyya deception or Jihad violence.
Enough of the retarded brainwash, enough of the arrogant people in the government that are too idle or too retarded to educate themselves about what Muhammad did & open-endedly commanded his army to do. Enough of the Jihad.
Some of Muhammad’s open end sadist commandments:
Quran 2:191 “Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them.”
Quran 3:28 “Muslims must not take the infidels as friends.”
Quran 3:85 “Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable.”
Quran 5:33 “Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticise Islam.”
Quran 8:12 “Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than
the Quran.”
Quran 8:60 “Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels.”
Quran 8:65 “The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them.”
Quran 9:5 “When opportunity arises kill the infidels wherever you find
them.”
Quran 9:30 “The Jews and Christians are perverts, fight them.”
Quran 9:123 “Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood.”
Quran 22:19 “Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods,
boiling water, melt their skin and bellies.
Quran 47:4 “Do not hanker for peace with the infidels; beahed them when
you catch them.”
We need memorials & a day of commemorance, minutes of silence for the innocent death & torture victims of Muhammad & of his followers til today.

On this matter, Israel (and Jordan) are unique in the region in that neither country has to take either the ISIS or the Russian side, while many other countries are more compromised (including the USA). Based on that, they will need to continue to take the lead on this Yazidi matter.

Something a moral, decent government should be doing. But as we know, it is only slavery when it happens outside islam.

So, Harper is giving the izlamic-nazi Kurds 139 million Canadian dollars in aid. How nice of him. I’m glad he’s not doing anything for the najjis kaffir who are being slaughtered/persecuted/enslaved by izlamic-nazis all over the Mid-East, N. Africa and Nigeria.
Anyone want to bet why the Kurdish Jews have all made aliyah? Could it be they didn’t trust their izlamic-nazi Kurdish brethren?

This guy is a phony and a fraud. The recipients of his so called beneficence have questioned it’s authenticity and he’s not been forthcoming with the proof. What a surprise!

Perhaps he could start doing the same with all the women who are trafficked into and by Israel, and the countless brothels of Western women trapped in a life of sexual slavery there.
