Lock her up for life, and she can praise Allah from her cell while she rots.

I once visited NY state capitol in Albany.
It is an amazing building, apparently build when NYS was the richest, most populous state in the Union.
Likely the best capitol building in the Union.

They need to start executing these terrorists. They are attacking our nation on behalf of a foreign entity. If we expect to survive as a nation, these actions must be dealt with harshly.

Does anyone else have doubts about possible FBI ulterior motives whenever they trumpet plots they’ve supposedly discovered?

She converted to Islam allegedly 5 years ago. Nobody would wan to be married to that thing. It’s bad enough so many were brought here under Obama and Biden.
