Here's hoping 'ISIS Bride' gets plenty of time to read 'A Man Without a Country'
Chicago Tribune ^ | 3/6/2019 | John Kass

Has Hoda Muthana, 24, the so-called ISIS Bride who joined the terrorist group at 19 and was widowed twice, ever heard of Civil War-era writer Edward Everett Hale?

I’d bet the answer is “No.”

And that’s unfortunate.

Because now I can’t very well ask Muthana about Hale’s famous story, “A Man Without a Country.”

In part, that’s because she’s in a Syrian refugee camp, doing interviews and seeking pity from Americans as leverage against President Donald Trump, so she can get home to her family in Alabama and raise her baby boy in the good old U.S. of A.

"I realized I've made a big mistake and I know I've ruined my future and my son's future and I deeply, deeply regret it," she told the Guardian newspaper.

Being a victim is what it’s all about now. That’s her only play, to be a victim.

The ISIS Bride is 24 now, a little older than my sons. She ran away from home at 19, made her way to Syria and joined ISIS, was married three times and widowed twice.

That’s the thing about ISIS members: When they’re not chopping the heads off Christians, Muslims and American journalists, they have a habit of getting killed themselves.

When she left America as a teenager, I’ve got a feeling ISIS Bride wasn’t condemning the monsters who took heads or burned people alive or drowned them in cages in the name of their god.

And I really don’t think they teach Hale much in school these days, nor do schools teach civics that much.

Civics? You mean how government works and what, if any, are the responsibilities of American citizens?

Clearly, that kind of

If she gets back in the country, the Dems will put her in Congress.

Bye, bye muslima.

I remember reading that story in 5th or 6th grade. Our whole class read it. It has left an impression on me to this day. It should be required reading in all schools.

That wonderful book should be on reading lists in school - as it was during my childhood. My mom gave me that book and it is where I learned patriotism.

“I figure she owes 30 years in a federal penitentiary without parole.”

No, Mr. Kass, she doesn’t. She’s not a US citizen. The law on that is quite clear. She made her bed and now she can die in it.

In “Man Without A Country” Philip Nolan realized what he had lost in terms of country and heritage and regretted his decision on those grounds. This girl regrets giving up malls and caramel macchiatos and couldn’t care less for the country.

Hale’s famous story, “A Man Without a Country.”

Hale's story is "The Man Without a Country." Kurt Vonnegut wrote a collection of essays titled "A Man Without a Country"

Hell no.
We don’t need an anchor for her POS living ISIS husband to come here, and the kid would be exactly that. Leave her exactly where she belongs.

In the middle east with her husband and her child.

And don’t leave her husband out of the equation.

Her son is innocent. He should be brought here to be raised by her parents
. . . who did such a great job raising her.
And I think she’s a citizen, since she was born here to the Ambassador of a foreign country.
Yeah.

That “and subject tot he jurisdiction thereof” phrase doesn’t mean a thing. They were just talking, when they wrote that into the Fourteenth Amendment.

This foreigner can rot in the refugee camp and face local justice for her treason for her actions. She is not a US citizen and should go to GitMo if attempting to infiltrate the US (presuming she is not shot in the act). Her orphan kid can go to it’s fathers home country and family.

If she found a way to convince some Obama judge to give her undeserved US citizenship, her kid could someday be vying for US president. No way. Any judge that rules in her favor should be impeached. May the current judge is delaying to avoid a decision to allow, as someone else wrote, ‘she made her bed, let her die in it.’ And her Islamic terrorist spawn is NOT and should NEVER be allowed entry into the US.

“The Man Without a Country” is an awesome short story that I read back in the sixth grade.

She really should read it.

That is, assuming she is literate.
