Sleeping Beauties..

Now they’re taking your women..

What you gonna do about it?

Aafia Siddiqui was born in Karachi, Pakistan, on March 2, 1972. She was one of three children of Mohammad Siddiqui, a doctor trained in England, and Ismet. She is a mother of three.

Raised in America, Aafia has a degree in Biology from the world famous MIT as well as a PhD in Neuro-Science.

Aafia was then accused of being the top Al Qaeda expert in BioChemical weapons. She was also accused of exploiting the diamond trade in Africa in order to fund Al Qaeda.

Her Professor says of her, “There is no way Aafia could create any kind of chemical weapon with the knowledge that she had”.

In Karachi airport, where she had been going to visit her uncle, she and her three children were surrounded by members of several intelligence agencies and taken into custody.

A week later, US and Pakistan authorities issued a statement saying they’ve arrested Aafia Siddiqui.

Two weeks later, US and Pakistan authorities issued statements that they have no idea where she or her children are.

A motorcyclist appeared at her mother’s house and told her mother that if she kicks up a fuss about the disappearance of Aafia, she will never see her grandchildren again.

To this day, Aafia has not been seen nor heard from.


We are the sleeping beauties. We have the beautiful gift of Islam within us but we do not care for our brothers and sisters around the world and even in our own backyard. So that beauty lies dormant; asleep.

Now they are taking our women.. how long before we wake up?

Let's just make sure it is before they come knocking on our doors, because by then it will be too late. And then we will be asking the question, "Why does nobody help us?"
