"
Throwing up that ISIS gang sign on Instragram..."
Thanks for that photo in your
comment #42 of Nasim in her Hijab. I noticed that her father's name is Ismail, too. There was also her declaration of her heritage here (repost of some information from my comments).

Nasim Vegan Persian Azeri Athlete. According to her statement in the video, she was from Iran but of Azeri culture (Shiite Muslim community), so she may have been from northwestern Iran.
Little relevant background info here.
