Shamima Begum; Safiya Zaynab, Shabina Aslam, and Alireza Sabar; Mohammed Ali; and now Hoda Muthana. The establishment media is now embarked upon an all-out campaign to compel Western countries to accept returning Islamic State jihadis. This is just more evidence of how insidious the establishment media really is.
Hoda Muthana should never be allowed back in. She joined an entity that is avowedly at war with the United States and has repeatedly called upon Muslims in the U.S. to murder American civilians. But so many American authorities are so clueless and compromised today that they will probably fall for this.
By the way, ABC doesn’t bother to mention it, but her lawyer, Hassan Shibly, is a Hamas-linked CAIR operative. Note also that ABC identifies her as an “Alabama mother,” as if she were just another Emmylou Harris in a hijab, when in reality she has committed treason and called for the murder of Americans.
“Alabama mother begs to return to US, says moving to Syria and marrying ISIS fighters was ‘a big mistake,'” by Enjoli Francis, Desiree Adib, Josh Margolin and Morgan Winsor, ABC News, February 19, 2019:
With U.S.-backed forces closing in on ISIS in Syria, young mother Hoda Muthana is pleading for a second chance and the opportunity to return home to her family in Alabama.
“I realized I’ve made a big mistake and I know I’ve ruined my future and my son’s future and I deeply, deeply regret it,” she said in an interview with The Guardian newspaper.
Muthana is one of 1,500 foreign women and children living in a Kurdish-run refugee camp in northern Syria.
Muthana’s family lawyer, Hassan Shibly, told ABC News the young mother was “brainwashed” by ISIS and now feels “tremendous remorse.”
“This is a young, vulnerable woman who was brainwashed and manipulated by monsters who took advantage of her,” Shibly said in an interview that airs on “Good Morning America” on Tuesday morning. “Hooda is absolutely disgusted by the person she became while under the spell.”…
Muthana, who now has an 18-month-old son, left Alabama four years ago at the age of 19. She spread ISIS propaganda online, calling for attacks on Americans.
According to AL.com, she tweeted messages encouraging people to “‘spill American blood.”…
In a letter obtained exclusively by ABC News, she described herself as a “naive, angry and arrogant” young woman when she set out for Syria. Muthana said she thought she understood her religious beliefs and had stopped listening to her family.
“That was a big mistake,” she said in the letter.
“During my years in Syria I would see and experience a way of life and the terrible effects of war which changed me. Seeing bloodshed up close changed me. Motherhood changed me. Seeing friends, children and the men I married dying changed me. Seeing how different a society could be compared to the beloved America I was born and raised into changed me,” she said.
“Being where I was and seeing the ppl around me scared me because I realized I didn’t want to be a part of this. My beliefs weren’t the same as theirs. In my quiet moments, in between bombings, starvation, cold and fear I would look at my beautiful little boy and know that I didn’t belong here and neither did he. I would think sometimes of my family, my friends and the life that I knew and I realized how I didn’t appreciate or maybe even really understand how important the freedoms that we have in America are. I do now. To say that I regret my past words, any pain that I caused my family and any concerns I would cause my country would be hard for me to really express properly.”…
Muthana’s family lawyer told ABC News she wants to return to the United States to be “accountable for her choices,” and to hopefully be a powerful voice to ensure that others don’t repeat the mistakes she made.
“She wants to make amends by doing her best to speak out and ensure that she can protect other young individuals being brainwashed and taken advantage of in the same way she has,” Shibly said in the interview on “GMA.” “She’s willing to risk her life right now to condemn ISIS.”
