A judge in Munich has just sentenced a German woman, one Jennier Wenisch, a convert to Islam who was an ISIS bride, to ten years in prison for her part in the murder of a five-year-old Yazidi girl, whom she and her husband had enslaved. An earlier Jihad Watch report on this atrocity is here, and a detailed report here: “German ISIS bride who chained up five-year-old Yazidi slave girl in the sun and let her die of thirst as punishment for wetting the bed is jailed ten years for ‘war crime,’” by David Averre, MailOnline, October 25, 2021:
A German ISIS bride was sentenced to 10 years in prison by a Munich court today over the war crime of letting a five-year-old Yazidi ‘slave’ girl die of thirst in the sun.
Jennifer Wenisch, 30, from Lohne in Lower Saxony, was found guilty of ‘two crimes against humanity in the form of enslavement’, as well as aiding and abetting the girl’s killing and being a member of a terrorist organisation.
Wenisch converted to Islam in 2013 and made her way to Iraq to join the Islamic State, where she and her husband ‘purchased’ a Yazidi woman and child as household slaves according to the Court.
‘After the girl fell ill and wet her mattress, the husband of the accused chained her up outside as punishment and let the child die an agonising death of thirst in the scorching heat,’ prosecutors said during the trial.
‘The accused allowed her husband to do so and did nothing to save the girl.’…
Wenisch’s husband, Taha al-Jumailly, is also facing trial in separate proceedings in Frankfurt, where the verdict is due in late November.
When asked during the trial about her failure to save the girl, Wenisch said she was ‘afraid’ that her husband would ‘push her or lock her up’.
Identified only by her first name Nora, the Yazidi girl’s mother has repeatedly testified in both Munich and Frankfurt about the torment allegedly visited on her child.
The defence had claimed the mother’s testimony is untrustworthy and said there was no proof that the girl, who was taken to hospital after the incident, actually died.
The hospital tried unsuccessfully to revive her. Isn’t her lifeless body, that had been found chained – to what? — outside, enough proof that she had died?
Wenisch’s lawyers had called for her to receive just a two-year suspended sentence for supporting a terrorist organisation.
Wenisch herself claimed she was being ‘made an example of for everything that has happened under ISIS’ at the close of the trial, according to the daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung, and appeared to show remorse for the crimes for which she was found guilty….
Full of self-pity, this monstrous woman claimed she was being punished for “everything that has happened under ISIS.” Nonsense. She is being punished for exactly one thing: her role in the murder of a five-year-old girl. We are told that Wenisch “appeared” to show remorse. That’s easy to feign. But In prison isn’t it likely that Wenisch, who apparently has not turned her back on ISIS or on Islam, will continue to proselytize among the inmates?
Prominent London-based human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, who has been involved in a campaign for IS crimes against the Yazidi to be recognised as a ‘genocide’, was part of the team representing the Yazidi girl’s mother….
What do this atrocity, and Wenisch’s punishment, tell us?
First, it reminds us that in Islam it is deemed licit to hold slaves, like the little Yazidi girl whom the couple had enslaved (it’s hard to imagine what tasks she was given). Muhammad himself bought, sold, and owned slaves, which has made the practice permissible for Muslims ever since, for Muhammad was the Perfect Man (al-insan al-kamil) and Model of Conduct (uswa hasana).
Second, it reminds us that Muslims are taught in the Qur’an that while they are the “best of peoples” (3:110), Infidels are the “most vile of created beings.” (98:6) Not all Muslims accept, much less act on, that view. But fanatical Muslims such as Wenisch’s husband, Taha al-Jumailly, felt he could treat this helpless little girl, a non-Muslim, with as much cruelty as he wished. She was, after all, an Infidel, and therefore he could do anything he wanted to do with her. And his wife was too afraid to protest, or try to rescue her.
Third, Jennifer Wenisch saw her husband fasten the little girl to a chain, attaching her to something – a tree, a pole – so that she could not move about, or seek shade, but was made to endure without relief the scorching heat of the sun. She died of thirst. If Jennifer Wenisch had any qualms about this, she did not dare to express them to her husband, because she knew that he could punish her; the Qur’an gives Muslim husbands the right to “beat” their wives if they even suspect them of being disobedient (4:34); what might she expect from a man as demonstrably cruel as Taha al-Jumailly?
Fourth, the girl’s mother will obtain a kind of justice for her martyred daughter, because Germany is one of several dozen countries with laws that include aspects of universal jurisdiction, ”a legal principle that some crimes are so grave — such as genocide and war crimes — that impunity and normal territorial restraints on prosecutions should not apply.” The crime in this case – the murder of the little girl — was committed in Iraq, but was understood, properly, as part of the Islamic State’s genocidal treatment of the Yazidi people. Hence German courts believed they could invoke “universal jurisdiction” and try her murderers.
Fifth, the justice in this case might not have been obtained, had the murdered little girl’s mother not had as her lawyer Amal Clooney, who is now, for obvious reasons, the most famous human rights lawyer in the world. That led to media attention that insured the case would not disappear from view, but would be decided by German judges. Who knows how many other Yazidis have been tormented and murdered, but their families never obtained justice because they lacked the services of someone like Amal Clooney?

I know the left is completely immune to stories like these and one can only wonder why that is; not sure I want to know actually… Anyway, there is still a majority of sane people here in the West who can be reached if news stories like these can break through the MSM Sharia-compliant blackout of anything Islam-critical. I still think the majority are in some strange kind of trance, when it comes to Islam and they really need a serious wake-up call before it’s too late for their own children..
fadeye@yahoo.com says
As if 911 wasn’t Enough of a wake up call…but with lying media and even dumbfck George W. spewing the LIE of ‘religion of ‘peace’ ‘, the weak minded brainwashed still have not come around to reality yet!! Then again, with the trans-sexual science denial actively continuing, how can we Ever get reality to snap back??!!!
Dhimmi says
The school brainwashed these young mindless european females in thinking islam is ok
Kepha says
Speaking as an American teacher (I cannot speak for my German colleagues)–
Yes, we have to say Islam is OK. This is partly because we have Muslim students who deserve a decent education, too; partly because we have the poisonous legacy of Jurieu and other “enlightened” thinkers who pitted Ottoman laws od Dhimmitude against Louis XIV’s revocation of the Edict of Nantes–aaaah, toleration! Yes, we also get the myth of the Andalusian Paradise (so ably refuted by Dr. Fernandez-Morera.
Frankly, I am fine with being respectful to my Muslim colleagues and students (yes, SOME of the Afghans now coming are the families of people who cooperated with our Afghan misadventure). I know a few things about tactful disagreement.
But, what else? We have to affirm the “authentic identity” of a confused kid who thinks he’s the opposite sex, and thus become complicit in sending these kids into a lifetime of expensive “treatments”, possible exploitation, and even suicide. We must declare a predator like Harvey Milk a great American hero. We must affirm that a eunuch in drag with silicon breasts is as much a “woman” as our mothers who bore us or the wives who bore our children. We let silly and provincial feminists butcher our English language; with further advocacy groups rendering it all the less intelligible with further “non-binary” pronouns.
From where I sit, Western civilization is on a suicidal course–but the immoderate Left is doing far more damage than all the jihadis who ever lived. TheJihadis are a disease of the skin; the Left is a disease of the vital organs.

Kepha, you should be able to give Muslim students a decent education without having to pander to and lie about their savage creed. Sorry you and other decent teachers are being subjected to this vicious nonsense.
rp says
Start by telling them Quran is wrong??????If you really want to teach the truth????
fadeye@yahoo.com says
Well stated!
Terry Gain says
10 years is ridiculously light. The minimum sentence for first degree murder (murder which is planned and deliberate) should be life in prison with no possibility of parole. These light sentences devalue life.
gravenimage says
Grimly true, Terry. But even this sentence is considered to heavy by Jihadists.
Keith O says
Not wrong Terry and GI, The Jihadi’s would probably want the mother punished for reporting this sickening crime.
Personally, I believe that the death penalty should be used in special cases, such as this one, preferably sing the same methods as the perpetrator uses when they commit murder.
gravenimage says
Yes–under Shari’ah the victims are not even supposed to complain–let alone seek legal redress–lest they want more of the same.
fadeye@yahoo.com says
I just want violent islamic jihad terrorists castrated upon capture(preferably the same way the mozlems castrate black male african slaves!)…after that the bleeding heart leftards can kiss their feet and treat them as softly as those A-holes are doing anyway!! #AsLongAsTheyAreUnequippedForTheirVirginsInParadise! LOL!!

What the Murder of a Five-Year-Old Yazidi Girl by Muslims Tells Us
……………..
It tells us a lot about Muslims, and few things that are good.
More:
“German ISIS bride who chained up five-year-old Yazidi slave girl in the sun and let her die of thirst as punishment for wetting the bed is jailed ten years for ‘war crime’”
……………..
Yes, it is a war crime. This little girl was ill and no doubt terrified–both things that can cause bed wetting in small children.
More:
When asked during the trial about her failure to save the girl, Wenisch said she was ‘afraid’ that her husband would ‘push her or lock her up’.
……………..
Maybe, maybe not. But she never says she fears he would kill her. She was the adult in the room–she was responsible for trying to help this child. But given that she seemed fine with buying and using slaves, her doing nothing here should nor surprise.
The claim by defense that the child may not even have died is just despicable.

I haven’t been any particular fan of Amal Clooney–but kudos to her for taking this case. She is often claimed as Muslim, but she was raised Druze and she doesn’t appear to be religious at all now.

The notion of ‘universal jurisdiction’ in a case like this is troublesome. Germany is within its rights to try this couple only because they are living in Germany and the bride is a German citizen. If German law allows it then maybe it’s okay, but I doubt it. These two people aren’t being tried for ‘crimes against humanity’. They aren’t former heads of state. They’re not in the same category as Adolf Eichmann or Augusto Pinochet. Should third countries be allowed to arrest private citizens and try them for ‘hate’ crimes, using ‘universal jurisdiction’ as their justification? Then what happens to the notion of the nation-state and recognition of national sovereignty? Actions that are illegal in most Western countries are just fine and dandy under Sharia, so, unlike jihad, it would most likely never be ‘universal’ jurisdiction.
OLD GUY says
Don’t tell me, the DEVIL made her do it. I know ISLAM is a RELIGION, the big question is a religion of what, the devil, rape, murder, violence and depravity. Thought humanity got past this crap a couple hundred years ago. I guess if that true than Islam is a crime against humanity and should be stamped out.
