A woman who ran away from home in Alabama at the age of 20, joined the Islamic State group and had a child with one of its fighters says she still hopes to return to the United States, serve prison time if necessary, and advocate against the extremists.
In a rare interview from the Roj detention camp in Syria where she is being held by US-allied Kurdish forces, Hoda Muthana said she was brainwashed by online traffickers into joining the group in 2014 and regrets everything except her young son, now of pre-school age.
But four years earlier, at the height of the extremists’ power, she had voiced enthusiastic support for them on social media and in an interview with BuzzFeed News. IS then ruled a self-declared Islamic caliphate stretching across roughly a third of both Syria and Iraq. In posts sent from her Twitter account in 2015 she called on Americans to join the group and carry out attacks in the US, suggesting drive-by shootings or vehicle rammings targeting gatherings for national holidays.
In her interview with TNM, Muthana now says her phone was taken from her and that the tweets were sent by IS supporters.

screw her - let her die in some hell-hole prison camp overseas. No pity from me.
Stupidity should hurt.
Extreme stupidity should be fatal.
Maybe we can trade her for Ilhan Omar.
If you mental tested the lady...she’d fail. But no one really has the enthusiasm to do that sort of thing.
Hoda Muthana is not an “Alabama woman”. She’s a Yemeni terrorist who has no right to enter the United States. Her father was a diplomat from Yemen when she was born here. Let her return to Yemen, her country of origin.
Soros Again !
No
"Maybe we can trade her for Ilhan Omar."
The cabal of marxists in the White House that control brain dead puppet Biden will set this woman up in a mansion on a US base somewhere like they did Ashli’s killer cop. They just haven’t gotten around to it yet.
“In 2014, she told her family she was going on a school trip but flew to Turkey and crossed into Syria instead, funding the travel WITH TUITION CHECKS THAT SHE HAD SECRETLY CASHED.”
Were these Pell grant checks???????? You know DAMN well they sucked up every single welfare benefit they could and the TAXPAYERS ended up funding this terrorist whore.
Rot in hell.
To hell with herr. I feel sorry for the child who did nothing and is caught in between.
She will probably come home and decide she's a man. This is how effed up these people are.
can we just give them Ilhan Omar? no need to trade.
In 2014??? She was a little late to the party. How is telling someone that they can kill Americans be brainwashing? That's just plain treason.
The NYT’s title is wrong. She’s not an “Alabama” woman, and not even a US citizen.
[[Muthana now says her phone was taken from her and that the tweets were sent by IS supporters.]]
Bull crap! She was a radical and wanted to join the terrorists and almost certainly sent the texts herself willingly- she isn’t fooling anyone.
I believe she’s volunteering for Hellfire upgrade testing.
Traitors should be executed. We gave Fonda a pass and since then everything has gone to hell
