US woman 'deeply regrets' joining Isis and wants to return home
The Guardian ^ | 02-17-2019 | Martin Chulov and Bethan McKernan

An American woman captured by Kurdish forces after fleeing the last pocket of land controlled by Islamic State says she “deeply regrets” travelling to Syria to join the terror group and has pleaded to be allowed to return to her family in Alabama.

Once one of Isis’s most prominent online agitators who took to social media to call for the blood of Americans to be spilled, Hoda Muthana, 24, claims to have made a “big mistake” when she left the US four years ago and says she was brainwashed into doing so online...

“We were basically in the time of ignorance […] and then became jihadi, if you like to describe it that way,” she said. “I thought I was doing things correctly for the sake of God.”

Muthana is the only American among an estimated 1,500 foreign women and children inside the sprawling camp of 39,000 people, which is situated about two hours from where a final battle to oust extremists is days from being completed...

Rahman was killed in the town of Kobanî, and soon afterwards Muthana angrily tweeted: “Americans wake up! Men and women altogether. You have much to do while you live under our greatest enemy, enough of your sleeping! Go on drivebys, and spill all of their blood, or rent a big truck and drive all over them. Veterans, Patriots, Memorial, etc day … Kill them.”

For many months in 2015, her Twitter feed was full of bloodcurdling incitement, and she says she remained a zealot until the following year. She now says her account was taken over by others.

I am absolutely in favor of her returning to the United States. It's been a long time since we had a treason trial.

Could we find one of those immoral walls to put her up against?

The time to deeply regret joining a murderous, barbaric death cult is BEFORE you join. You know, when everybody is telling you that you're a freakin' idiot for even considering it.

I'd say it's too late now. Go back to Achmed and ask him to take you in.

Agree. She can come home, if she gets put on trial. Otherwise, she made her Muslim terror bed, let her lie in it.

Bummer, honey. How many deaths of innocents did you participate in and/or support?

I rejoice in the knowledge that the young will one day get the society for which they clamor.

She’s an enemy combatant. Kill her on the field of battle.

Or try his by military panel.

Done.

“I thought I was doing things correctly for the sake of God.”


did she really say that she did things for the sake of God? Muslims speak of Allah, not God.

No, she needs to be tried by Syria or Iraq as a war criminal. Keep her out of the USA.

She’s the ultimate war slut. Only another Islamist murdered would touch her now.

She is welcome to return. She can even pick the jail cell she wants for the next 60 years.

Bring her home, put her on trial, convict her, sentence her, put her to death. All she is doing is using the popular weaponized victimhood defence to get out of her death sentence.
