An American Infidel in Abu Dhabi by Phyllis Chesler Breitbart December 4, 2014 http://www.phyllis-chesler.com/1403/an-american-infidel-in-abu-dhabi Print Send RSS Share: Be the first of your friends to like this. On December 1st, a figure in a black burqa, armed with an eight-inch knife, entered the upscale Boutik shopping mall located in Reem Island, the neighborhood where most of Abu Dhabi's 40,000 expatriates live. The black burqa'ed figure waited for more than an hour in a woman's toilet—then stabbed the first white blonde infidel American woman who came in to use the facilities six times until she was dead. Then, with the possible help of two other women, the mysterious black burqa'ed figure either smoothly and calmly walked away, or did so in a frenzied fashion (there are conflicting eye witness reports about this). In any event, the killer entered an elevator and disappeared. The victim's name was Ibolya Ryan. She was a Hungarian-born and Romanian-raised kindergarten teacher and the divorced mother of two 11 year-old twin boys, Adam and Aiden. Her former husband lives in Colorado. Ryan had described herself in an online profile for a teacher-recruiting company as "Romanian born" and someone who has worked "in four countries over the last 15 years." Ryan wanted to "experience the Arab world…their culture and daily life." Tragically, she has done just that. At a time of fierce Islamic fundamentalist Jihad, Ibolya, a civilian, may have been targeted by Jihadists. On October 29, 2014, the Embassy of the United States Abu Dhabi UAE posted a "message" for U.S. Citizens, especially "Teachers at International Schools." An anonymous posting on a Jihadist site, which encouraged "attacks against teachers at American and other international schools in the Middle East," prompted the Embassy to issue a "security warning." This included the following: Avoid crowds or large gatherings when traveling in public; Identify safe areas (for example police stations, hospitals) in your area and how to get to them quickly; Tell co-workers or neighbors where you are going and when you intend to return; Minimize your profile while in public; Always carry a cellphone…; Be prepared to postpone or cancel activities for personal safety concerns. » CONTINUE READING Related Topics:  Gender, Hijab & Burqa, Islam, Jihad & Terrorism
