A former Kansas woman and mother of five has been charged with joining ISIS and leading an all-female battalion of fighters in Syria, the Department of Justice announced Saturday.
Allison Fluke-Ekren, 42, allegedly trained her own children to use AK-47s and suicide belts, translated speeches made by ISIS leaders, and conspired to plan an attack on an American college campus, the DOJ said.
Fluke-Ekren was appointed in 2016 to lead the Khatiba Nusaybah, an all-female military unit of the Islamic State, in Raqqa, Syria, according to a criminal complaint filed in 2019 and unsealed Saturday.
In that role, she trained more than 100 women to fire assault rifles, throw grenades, drive explosives-laden vehicles, and use suicide belts so that they could fight in the 2017 siege of Raqqa — trainings that local leaders made mandatory for all female residents, witnesses allege.
One witness described how proud the leaders of ISIS and members of the battalion were to have an American instructor. Fluke-Ekren’s radicalization was “off the charts,” another witness said — an “11 or a 12” on a scale of 1 to 10.
In 2014, Fluke-Ekren discussed a plan to “dress like infidels” and drop off an explosives-packed backpack at an unnamed US college to kill students, FBI Special Agent David Robins alleged in the criminal affidavit.
She told a witness “not to worry about the logistics because she knew how to get into the US from Mexico,” Robins wrote.
Another witness claimed that Fluke-Ekren mapped out how she might attack a US shopping mall by stowing a car bomb in a basement parking garage and detonating it with a cell phone trigger.
“Fluke-Ekren considered any attack that did not kill a large number of individuals to be a waste of resources,” US Attorney Jessica Aber wrote

This terrorist faces at most 20 years while the Georgia guys who killed Arbery get life without parole? Where is the justice?
Any relation to Sandy “where’s my free birth control” Fluke?
Good point. You can choose your friends, you can’t choose your family. God lets imperfect people have kids, and imperfections to some extent get passed around, but as people mature they can choose additional imperfections, and perhaps ditch a few of the ones they have picked up.
Converts are generally zealous. Unfortunately, some conversions are bad moves.
Actually I’m all for ISIS women practicing throwing live hand grenades. That should cull the herd pretty quickly.
And lefties complain that Christianity subjugates women?! Wrong! If I were a woman, there is no way I would convert to a religion that allows men to beat, rape, bully and treat females like trash.
She should have been buried in Syria.
Definitely not your 1950’s Kansas mom. God help us.
Three part row of pictures.....
Obama: That’s the sweetest sound I have ever heard.
Reporter: You mean the screams of terror from thousands realizing the World Trade Center is going to be a death trap for them within minutes?
Obama: No. The Muslim Call to Prayer. Can’t get enough of it.
One of these days, whites are going to look at the degeneracy of modern America and consider that militant Islam offers a pretty good deal.
Put them all together
and they spell
“Mother.”
That poor baby.

She is very likely a registered democrat. /spit.
You're just not a good sport, are you?
They blow up so fast…
I’m so tired of hearing miscreants described as ‘MOMS’.
There is not any. She should be hanged straight away.
She should have been. But according to Poppa Bush, We are a kinder gentler Nation now.
In Islam, men are allowed to be men. There's no #MeToo. There's no tranny swimmers. And there's no pushback. Nobody expects Muslim men to adhere to all the woke orthodoxy. They get a pass.
Plusses: Masculinity, traditional gender roles.
Minuses: Have to give up pork. I could do this is lamb was affordable. Have to give up booze? Not really. Arabs drink just as much liquor as we do, if you've ever been to a hotel bar in the Middle East, you'd understand.
I've considered converting myself. I'm kinda a lukewarm Christian. Not much of a believer one way or the other. But if becoming a Muslim would let me put the screws even deeper to leftists, it might be palatable.
