As incredible as it might sound, very recent photographic evidence is stirring interest in the case of missing Madeleine McCann not in Portugal, but in Morocco. The photo being examined also clearly shows something else of great interest to me: the women that are carrying the white, blond-haired girl are most certainly Muslim. Simply take into account the nation of Morocco (98% Muslim) and the head-coverings on the women and the odds that you are looking at Buddhists is quite slim.
I am going to go out on a limb here: I have long had an uncanny knack for identifying people beneath even Hollywood makeup or from afar, such as at sporting events, and in fact I have helped apprehend a fugitive when I identified him from a ten year old photograph. My very first reaction when I first saw this photograph is that this is indeed Madeleine McCann. I will stick to this tune until I am proven wrong. Experts have examined the photo snapped by a Spanish tourist. The photograph is now being analysed by experts at the British Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre.
Are we witnessing evidence on the world stage of the ‘slave trade‘ that has infamously gone on across parts of Eastern Europe and in the depths of Arab Muslim nations for centuries and continues to this very day? Now you more fully understand my keen interest. The trading in girls for sex enslavement is well-documented by Interpol and white girls of European descent are apparently in high demand. The origins of Interpol itself actually coincide with initial investigations into ‘white slavery’ back around the turn of the 20th century.
Details from the AP in London:
The parents of missing toddler Madeleine McCann remain cautious about a photo of a blonde girl snapped in Morocco, wary of an “emotional rollercoaster”, their spokesman said Wednesday.
The photo, the first such image to surface, shows a light-skinned, small girl being carried on the back of an elderly Moroccan woman, and was taken just over three weeks ago in northern Morocco by a Spanish tourist.
“Clearly, this is the first time we have an image like this. On an initial glance at it, it appears to look like Madeleine, about the right age and of European appearance,” said spokesman Clarence Mitchell.
But he added: “There have been numerous sightings, not just in Morocco but in other countries. As a result, I have to urge caution at this stage.”
Kate and Gerry McCann — both named by Portuguese police as formal suspects in their daughter’s disappearance — are waiting for authorities to analyze the photo, reportedly using face-recognition technology, before making any further comment, he said.
“Kate and Gerry know all too well, through bitter experience, that all of the sightings up to now have come to nothing, unfortunately.
“You can imagine the sort of emotional rollercoaster that causes them each time this sort of information comes in,” he told BBC television. “They simply do not wish to discuss it beyond their immediate circle.”
Clara Torres of the central Spanish city of Albacete said she took the photo on the morning of August 31 in the town of Zinat on the road between Chaouen to Tetuan while on a holiday in Morocco with her family.“The similarity (to Madeleine) raises shivers,” she told Spanish radio station COPE.
Madeleine went missing from her family’s holiday apartment in the Portuguese resort town of Praia Da Luz on May 3, and her parents — 39-year-old medical doctors Kate and Gerry — have been spearheading a global campaign to find her.
Initially the case appeared to focus on an alleged abduction but then the McCanns were named as formal suspects earlier this month.
According to the family, Portuguese police suspect Kate McCann was involved in the accidental death of her daughter and think both parents then tried to cover it up. The McCanns strongly deny any role in Madeleine’s disappearance.
Torres said she decided to hand the photo to police on Monday after reading of other recent possible sightings of a girl fitting Madeleine’s description in Morocco since she vanished.
While there have been several reported sightings of Madeleine from Argentina to Belgium — which have all been discounted — this is the first time that a photograph that possibly depicts the girl has come to light.
UPDATE: A report just in on FOXNews literally seconds after I published this article now claims that police in Morocco have declared that the girl in the photograph is not Madeleine McCann. That was fast. Too fast. I remain highly skeptical. Regardless, the chances that Madeleine has ended up in some sort of child trafficking ring remain extremely high. I believe that Interpol and other investigators should use this opportunity to start to lift back “stones” and see what comes scurrying out of places like Morocco and Portugal.
I also believe someone outside of the Moroccan government should go investigate the child seen in that photograph.

I have seen loads of blonde children in the Maghreb and in the Middle East. It is certainly not unusual in Berber regions.
In Afghanistan you can see blonde kids with blue eyes, who are supposedly descended from Macedonian soldiers of Iskender.
I doubt you’ve ever been to North Africa — maybe never to a Muslim country… do you even know any Muslim people?
…and in all honesty I doubt you give a toss about Madeleine McCann. You just want to use the story to further your racist worldview.
Shame.
d.avocado needs to get himself an education. Go to Amazon and order some of these books.
Man the first comments exemplify the typical attitude “how dare you even assume Muslims had something to do with this?!!??!”. People are reacting like this out of fear of Islam or are trying to prop up its sagging approval rating, especially here in the USA. The general public is seeing Islam for what it’s worth and realize there is no way to separate the bad from its core beliefs…because it is corrupt to the core.
If anyone’s to blame for possibly jumping the gun on this story it’s Bin Laden. With 9/11 he opened a Pandora’s box regarding the Koran, its contents and its followers. Nowadays it has become automatic for increasing numbers of people to think Islamania when someone’s caught with a rifle in a public place, when a car runs over a crowd of people or when a plane crashes mysteriously. This is the legacy of 9/11 for better or for worse.

“It is well-known to anthropology and human genetics that a significant proportion of the population of North Africa and the Middle East is blond/blonde, especially when young.”
I have read a bit about anthropology and I can’t say I have ever heard anything like this before.
I am well aware that Australian Aboriginal children may be blonde, but that’s the only race I know of at this point.
Do you have any links?
Nice try, but your baseless ideas are simply not substantiated by history or fact.
It is well-known to anthropology and human genetics that a significant proportion of the population of North Africa and the Middle East is blond/blonde, especially when young. Western tourists ignorant of this fact often make the mistaken assumption that blond children there must be European, and I’ve no doubt that over the centuries such sightings contribute to exaggeration into myth of muslim slave-traders kidnapping European children. Hysteria seesm to have blinded many people to the fact that it was always most likely that the Spanish tourist’s photograph was of a Moroccan child, especially since she was being carried in the traditional Moroccan way. She was also about half Madeleine McCann’s age and size.
I certainly am capable of understanding that this baby may indeed not be Madeleine. I, however, also have read reports that this photo is only evidence submitted by one person and unusual only in regard to there being a photograph. The reality is that a number of other reports of possible Madeleine sightings have come in from Morocco for some time now. It is therefore quite possible that she is indeed somewhere in that country and this is again why the photograph started such an uproar — because of suspicions already in motion before the photo came to public attention.
The sad fact is that many young children that vanish become part of an active slave trade that still exists. Another inescapable fact is that of all the cultures in the world, it is Islam that perpetuates slavery on an undeniable scale more than any other.
Muhammad, Jesus and all the prophets are indeed viewed as “slaves to Allah”, just as all the Muslims are submitted slaves themselves. This is a fact, not hyperbole on my part. (Please refer to some of the works of Spencer for more on this, such as his book Inside Islam.)
Women are hardly more than slaves in much of the Islamic world and Arab Muslim men are told for centuries that they are superior to all other races and religions beyond that point as well. It should come as no surprise to anyone the arrogance of the typical Muslim male and the perpetuation in hidden places of what has been stamped out in the truly civilized parts of the Earth. Islam itself is slavery by definition.
For more on this idea/subject, refer to my podcast: Amazing Grace.
This is NOT adequate evidence to prove that this particular Moroccan actually is the father of the child shown in the photo, or that she comes from that village.
Abductors generally DO claim to be the victim’s parents or other legitimate guardians. There’s nothing to stop them from staging fake family photos or whatever else will help to deflect suspicion.
How many of your liberal trolls would be willing to bet that the Moroccan cops aren’t profiting from prostitution and slave-trafficking themselves?
I agree with you Foehammer, I’d feel a lot better if Scotland Yard or some other outside law enforcement agency looked into this. Is it any one’s fault, other than the ROP, that anyone could think they are certainly capable of kidnapping and enslaving a child. This country would be a lot better off if we had more people like you. Instead we have too many like the above posters.

Moroccan picture: It’s NOT Madeleine McCann (17h33, September 26, 2007)
The girl seen in Morocco by Spanish tourist Clara Torres, who took a picture of a family walking near a road, is a Moroccan citizen, called Bushra Binhisa. She lives in Zinat, she is four of five years old and part of her family lives in Moleenbeek, Belgium. The attached picture shows Bushra Binhisa with her grandfather, Hamid Bisnhisa.
Correction: The name of the girl is Bouchra Benaissa. In the picture, Bouchra with his father, Ahmed Benaissa, an olive farmer. Bouchra parents are Ahmed Ben Mohamed Benaissa et Hafida Achkar.

You dare call this simple analytical repost of facts being put out by hundreds of news agencies an “attack” on my part?
Are you denying the existence of the ’slave trade’ in Islamic nations and various other regions of the globe?
Are you denying that Madeleine McCann has a right to be found?
In other words, pipe down, or you will be the ones looking that much more foolish in your appeasement of evil.
Apparently you did not read the UPDATE before you chose to post this ridiculous statement; an update that I posted mere seconds after publishing the article and my opinions. I stand by my opinion of the original photograph and the fact that I was ready for the truth to come to light. The sort of people that would choose to ignore any attempt at putting 2 and 2 together because they would much rather hide inside their insulated little bubbles and be free of criticism themselves rather than seek out a victimized little girl, make me sick.
I 2nd that motion, an apology from yourself for this attack on an innocent family - a step down from your self righteous high horse .
your post here today is indicative of the narrow minded racism that so many of your fellow countrymen suffer and that you, supposedly are against. Here, at the slightest sniff of a Muslim with a ‘western’ child, launch into this tirade of accusation.
And with this you lose all credibility for your cause.

Lucky you used the word ‘possibly’ or you might possibly have ended up looking foolish
A photograph of the little girl and her father, together with the name of the village in which they live, is now all over the press.
Are you going to apologise now that you’ve suggested a possible connection between these people and the world stage of the slave trade?
