Somehow, AP refers to Farhia Hassan as a “Dutch woman,” indifferent to the likelihood that she doesn’t consider herself Dutch at all, and has nothing but contempt for Dutch cultures and mores. It is much more likely that Farhia Hassan considers herself a citizen of the global umma. But AP will never tell you that.
“Dutch woman brought to Virginia to face terrorism charge, Associated Press, October 29, 2021:
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) – A Dutch woman charged seven years ago with raising money for the Somali terrorist group al-Shabab has been extradited to the U.S. to face trial.
Farhia Hassan, 38, made an initial appearance Friday in U.S. District Court in Alexandria after being brought to the U.S. on Thursday on charges of conspiring to provide material support to a terrorist organization. She was ordered held pending her next hearing.
Prosecutors say Hassan helped raise money by telling donors it would fund schools and orphans when it was actually going to terrorists. The indictment alleges that al-Shabab cells in Nairobi, Kenya, and Hargeisa, Somalia received payments over a period from 2011 through 2014….
While Hassan was in the Netherlands fighting extradition over the last seven years, her lawyers in the U.S. were working to get the charges against her tossed out. The defense lawyers argued that the U.S. lacked jurisdiction to charge a Dutch woman with giving money to a Somali terrorist group. And they said the long delays in bringing her to trial amounted to a denial of her speedy trial rights.
