Should ISIS fighters/wives/children be repatriated?

[Amarok]

Um yes and no.

This gullible woman probably stupidly thought that women had equal rights under Isis. Is is is like the Islamic version of our LDS. I am betting when she got there she realized she was going to be nothing but a baby factory. 

I am also sure that  that European and Muslim American men probably go thinking they are fighting for minority rights, but when they get there do not realize Isis is nothing more than a brutal sub sect of Islam, just like the KKK is a sub sect of Christianity.

No, women aren't as dumb as you are. She knew what ISIS is.

Did she ? Did she know the extent ?

Hoda Muthana was 20 years old when she stole the money that her parents gave her for tuition and paid for her trip to Syria with that money.

Irrelevant 

After entering Syria, she posted a picture of herself holding her US passport, posted it on her social media, and wrote that the passport was going into a bonfire.

And?

She spent years working for ISIS as a social media propagandist. She frequently called for American blood. She was an active member of ISIS all the way up to the time that she was captured. It was immediately after being captured that she claimed that she regretted the things that she did, claimed to have been brainwashed, and wanted to return to the US.

Yup and whos to say she was saying that of her own accord 

She is an enemy soldier--period.

Nope she's a former cult member who wants to leave it .

Stockholm Syndrome is a justification after the fact-- so if you're kidnapped by ISIS, then start to defend them because you've made an emotional connection with them in that difficult and stressful time, that's you.  That doesn't include people hating their lives and deciding that a fresh start in the heart of fundamental Islam is the way to go.

I don't think that always happens. That can happen.

But take Jim Jones for example. Everyone went voluntary at first. But many upon arriving realized he was a nut but were too afraid to challenge him and his armed loyalists. 

I think she, like a alot of youth felt disillusioned with the west, thought Isis were the real heros, got there and realized they were nuts.

Just like Jim Jones promised his followers a utopia if they would just support him.


The fact that she said she was willing to come back to America and face prosecution really is not that different than a domestic criminal here turning themselves in and confessing out of guilt.

Agreed it possible to join a cult believing it's propaganda (otherwise they wouldn't make propaganda )  act on it's behalf then become  disillusioned with it's goals and it's people .
