Islamic State attracts female jihadis from U.S. heartland

MINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) - U.S. law enforcement is investigating a new phenomenon of women from the American heartland joining Islamic State as President Barack Obama vows to cut off the militants' recruiting at home.

At least three Somali families in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area have female relatives who have gone missing in the past six weeks and may have tried to join Islamic State, said community leader Abdirizak Bihi. He said that while the reasons for their disappearance were unclear, he had told the families to contact police.

In a separate case, a 19-year-old American Somali woman from St. Paul snuck away from her parents on Aug. 25 saying she was going to a bridal shower. Instead, she flew to Turkey and joined IS in Syria.

very cheap and proactive US policy would be to provide a free chauffeured limousine, brass band and free first class ticket to any aspiring jihadi who sacrifices their passport and willingly submits to all possible pre-departure biometric registration.

I think we should make it fantastically easy for any US citizen to go and die on a faraway, desert field of battle.

They are allowed to come back. Declared enemies are given carte blanche to rejoin the country and people they hate.

The nannys in this government are either insane, blind or what I believe, complicit and cooperating with the enemy.

All we are saying is
give piece a chance

I say we should deport the agents of Islamism -- but honor their religious practices. Send them to the Jihadists one piece at a time. We must remain respectful of their religious practices.

It's war.

I remember W.W.II

Not one piece at a time the Allies blasted enemy military and civilians into hundreds of pieces. Carpet bombing.

It's war. We won.

" as -resident Barack Obama vows to cut of the militants (sic) recruiting at home"

yes, oh yes - since Obama is so successful in everything else he does, I'm sure this latest effort will be another "I will not rest until . .(fill in the blank)

She tells her parents she’s going to a bridal shower then gets on a plane and flies to Turkey. I wonder where she got the money. Could she have gotten it from one of the many mosques being built in this country?

Al Franken probably has their names. He will be sure that their votes are counted in November.

Yep. No worries about returning the remains at taxpayer expense that way. Roll in the "aluminum overcast" and let it rain.

These are refugees who are let in the country, supposedly for their own safety. So were the Tsarnov brothers.

I'm all for no more refugees, from anywhere.

A lot of good they will do. The grand poobah has already issued the Anal Sex Fatwah and they are known to have some fairly fancy Sheep Houses (Muslim version of a Cat House).

This is small potatoes compared to sending that communist Franken to the Senate.
