A four year old girl disappeared on new years eve in the city of Malmö south Sweden.

She is believed to have been abducted. A thorough search for the girl was carried out in the city centre and it continued today. The girl is still not found.

Her name is Maryam Ali Abdulhadi and she was born in September 2005. She and her mother are Iraqi citizen. The father lives in Iraq. The daughter is formally registered at her mother´s adress, but for some time she has lived with one of the mother´s sisters.

Maryam was reported as disappeared at 00.39. She had then been at Gustav Adolfs Square in Malmö with some relatives who soon discovered that the girl had disappeared.

Maryam has long dark-brown hair and during her disappearance she had a pink jacked, trousers and shoes.

According to the police, it is probable that there is a crime behind her disappearance. They have interrogated the girl´s mothers and her aunts without significant results. The police have however gotten several useful tips from the public.

One tip concerned a woman who was seen walking at Stora Nygatan towards Engelbrektsgatan. She had with her a child dressed in a santa claus suit. The police in the Skåne region wish to get into contact with this woman to hear what she has seen.

The police in the Skåne region are grateful for any information concerning the disappearance of Maryam. You can call the police if you have any information call the police information central 114 14 and if you are abroad, call +46 77 114 14 00

Update:

According to the Norwegian newspaper Verldens Gang, who has spoken to the mother, the daughter has been kidnapped. The mother has told them that the father is behind it.

The father is supposed to have called the mother and told her that the daughter is fine, but that she is going to him in Iraq. The Swedish police do not want to comment on this yet.

Update 2

According to the police in the Skåne region, the four year old girl is alive and well but in Iraq with her father. Today, the girl´s mother has spoken in the phone persons in Iraq including her daughter. According to the mother, the father had hired two men to kidnap the daugther and bring her to Iraq.

One of the more striking characteristics of radical Islam is its oppressive, totalitarian nature. Throughout history, the spread of this evil ideology has brought with it death, slavery, suffering and oppression—not the “peace” and “tolerance” its adherents claim. Non-Muslims and Muslims have suffered under the boot heel of this ideology. For instance, countless Muslim women around the world today suffer as second-class citizens under sharia law.

So sad that family stories from non-compatible cultures within Europe always have to go wrong. The mother should just follow the father and live in his homeland, and all will go well. After all, she chose a husband from a culture with values opposing Western values diametrally.
