    Why are so many male Muslims so insecure ? Just being a successful female in Muslim countries is enough to receive death threats in the more conservative Muslim society it seems. If this was my daughter, sister etc I would be proud of her, not sending her death threats, I do hope she is granted asylum, citizenship, and a position in the US Air Force

    Celebrated Afghan Woman Pilot Requests Asylum in U.S.



    As the first female airplane pilot in Afghanistan, Niloofar Rahmani became a powerful symbol of what women could accomplish in the post-Taliban era. But in the ultraconservative country, the limelight also brought threats, sending her into hiding from insurgents and vengeful relatives.

    Now, more than three years after she earned her wings, the 25-year-old Afghan air force pilot hopes to start a new life in the U.S. where she has applied for asylum, saying her life would be in danger if she returns home.

    Capt. Rahmani went to the U.S. in the summer of 2015 to train on C-130 transport planes with the U.S. Air Force. The course ended Thursday, and under the terms of her training stint, she was due to go back to Afghanistan on Saturday. She won’t be going.

    “I would love to fly for my country—that is what I always wanted to do,” Capt. Rahmani said from Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas, where she completed the flight training. “But I’m scared for my life.”

    Look at it this way! The Muslims have to rely on getting killed while being a martyr to get some nookie or at least the promise of some. So yes they are profoundly insecure.

    Hard to understand why any woman would want to live under Islam.

    """Why are so many male Muslims so insecure ?"""


    Just male Muslims ? Guess you haven't read the hatefilled posts by American christians against women in the military (or anywhere else).

    Why would this woman want to come here when according to the left women in this country are treated horribly. Maybe American women will look at this pilot and realize things aren't as bad as the New York Times says it is.

    A fine example of the people we should be letting into our country. I hope she gets the job done legally.

    Are the Muslins there any different. If not, then why is she running away?

    They don't have a choice. Anyone who leaves Islam is to be murdered, by the tenants of their own religion.

    They are also considered property from the moment of birth, so many of them have no concept of what freedom is.

    There's an idea.

    We accept Muslims from the ME, but only the women.

    I say we give her asylum (her fear of return is reasonable), and induct her into the USAF or USN.

    Besides, I like the idea of AQ and ISIS barbarians getting bombed by a female Muslim pilot with a :flagus: patch on her shoulder. It makes me smile. :wink:

    The fact that she's pretty has nothing to do with it... No, really. Honest ... nothing at all. :fingerscrossed:

    For whatever reason, many Muslims treat women worse than many of their animals. They make them wear big sacks that frequently cover everything but tiny slits for their eyes. Oh, and "honor killings" are all the rage among them. I guess it pleases their idea of "god" to behave this way. In anything but a Muslim-dominated society it would be considered criminal, pathological INSANITY....

    She would make an excellent Manchurian Candidate.
