War Correspondent Says Mosul, Iraq is SAFER for Women than Sweden
Magda Gad is an award-winning war correspondent who knows a thing or two about war-torn cities, suffering, and the human struggle during war time.
Gad recently tweeted that Mosul, Iraq is safer for women and more peaceful than Sweden’s capital city.
Looks like Trump was right, yet again.
From Breitbart
“There’s no law on the Islamic veil here, and it’s safer for a lone woman to be outside than Stockholm,” the war journalist said on Twitter.
@BorenNon @MrJeedi Det finns ingen lag på slöja här, och det är lugnare att röra sig ute som ensam kvinna än vad det är i Sthlm.

Asked by another user to clarify whether she “feel[s] safer outdoors in Iraq than Stockholm”, the Expressen reporter — who has been covering the fight against Islamic State in Iraq since June last year, said “Yep”.
Gad said Stockholm on a weekend evening is “much worse than any night in Iraq”, in response to a suggestion by the user ‘Per Anders Englund’ that it “can’t be easy being a good looking woman” in Sweden’s capital with “groping” men about.
@paproffs @BorenNon @MrJeedi Precis så är det. Fylla runt medborgarplatsen en helgnatt är mkt värre än vilken kväll som helst i Irak

In another tweet, the multi-award winning journalist described Iraq as “quiet, apart from the war”.
“In cities unaffected by fighting, it’s very quiet and no one bothers you when you walk the streets,” she wrote.
@BorenNon @MrJeedi Det är lugnt utöver kriget. I städer utanför kriget är det ingen som stör dig när du går på gatorna, det är väldigt lugnt

For her war coverage in Iraq, Gad has been nominated for an INMA Global Media Award in the Best Use of Social Media category, where she is competing with finalists including U.S. TV channel NBC.
Last month, just hours after Sweden’s prime minister attacked the president for linking mass migration with rising violence, riots broke out in a suburb where a majority of residents were born overseas.
The riots, in which cars were set ablaze and shops were looted, resulted in the Stockholm suburb looking “like a warzone” according to a journalist who was at the scene.
