Whoever Says Otherwise Is a Liar&#8217;<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><hr>\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nIn a 2015 interview with the Christian channel CBN News, which still circulates on social media, the nun speaks clearly about what she witnessed.<\/p><p>\r\nShe states that ISIS is not a distortion of Islam, but a faithful expression of its teachings, and recounts that the most beautiful women and girls-many of them Christian or Yazidi mothers and wives-were sold exclusively to Sunni Muslims as sex slaves.<\/p><p>\r\nHatune mentions the kidnapping of approximately 12,000 Yazidis at the beginning of the conflict alone and explains that she traveled to the United States not to rest, but to give voice to the victims who could not speak.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThese statements connect to the well-documented context of the 2014 Yazidi genocide, when ISIS attacked the Sinjar region, killing thousands of men, kidnapping women and girls, and subjecting them to sexual slavery, according to UN reports and historical records.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe viral post, written by Liza Rosen, highlights a troubling aspect: while Sister Hatune risked her life to save people, the mainstream Western media barely reported on her work, and Muslim activists in the West accused her of &#8220;Islamophobia&#8221; in an attempt to silence her words.<\/p><p>\r\nIn fact, she faced criticism even within her own church, which in 2017 issued a statement saying that the foundation did not officially represent it.<\/p><p>\r\nStill, her humanitarian work is confirmed by outlets such as the Middle East Forum, the Christian Post, and other independent reports.<\/p><p>\r\nShe worked, for example, alongside the Jewish-Canadian businessman Steve Maman, known for helping to buy the freedom of enslaved women.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe video shared in the post is precisely that old CBN interview, reproduced on various Christian websites and on YouTube.<\/p><p>\r\nDespite the gravity of the reported facts-based on direct testimonies from survivors and the nun&#8217;s personal experience, who also fled persecution in Turkey-mainstream media coverage was limited.<\/p><p>\r\nThis fueled the debate about the extent to which criticism of aspects of Islam is treated as intolerance, even when it comes from those who have experienced the horrors of jihadism firsthand.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nFor many who support Sister Hatune, recounting what she saw is not spreading hate, but defending the truth and the victims.<\/p><p>\r\nCritics, in turn, argue that generalizations about a religion followed by more than 1.8 billion people can generate prejudice.<\/p><p>\r\nShe, however, insists that her words come from concrete experiences: the &#8220;inhuman&#8221; suffering described by the rescued women and her own story of fleeing Turkey.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nToday, Sister Hatune remains active, including in projects in Turkey to support Syrian Orthodox Christian children in their homeland.<\/p><p>\r\nHer testimony, which the mainstream media often ignored, has resonated on social media through posts like Liza Rosen&#8217;s.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThis story reignites a difficult discussion: how to balance freedom of expression, respect for religious beliefs, and the need to confront uncomfortable facts about violence perpetrated in the name of Islam.<\/p><p>\r\nRegardless of one&#8217;s opinion, the nun&#8217;s rescue work and her willingness to speak out represent a courageous voice that refuses to remain silent in the face of innocent suffering.<hr>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align:right\"><em>Published in 04\/19\/2026 07h28<\/em><\/p>\r\n<hr>\r\n<p style=\"text-align:right\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/iustitia.com.br\/?page_id=3347\">Portuguese version<\/a><\/em><\/p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n\t\t<p>Text adapted by AI (Grok) and translated via Google API in the English version.
