My latest in PJ Media:
Allison Fluke-Ekren, 42, a schoolteacher from Overbook, Kan., has been accused of organizing and leading an all-female battalion of jihadis for the Islamic State (ISIS). The Department of Justice announced Friday that Fluke-Ekren has been charged with “providing and conspiring to provide material support to ISIS, a designated foreign terrorist organization.” She was caught in Syria and was scheduled to appear Monday at the federal courthouse in Alexandria, Va.
It’s not your average career trajectory for a Kansas schoolteacher, but Fluke-Ekren, who also went by “Allison Elizabeth Brooks,” “Allison Ekren,” “Umm Mohammed al-Amriki” (that is, the mother of Muhammad the American), “Umm Mohammed,” and “Umm Jabril,” seems to have been a true believer. She “traveled to Syria several years ago for the purpose of committing or supporting terrorism.” While she was in Syria, Fluke-Ekren kept herself busy by putting together a battalion of female ISIS jihadis, known as the Khatiba Nusaybah. This wasn’t exactly a knitting circle: the women trained to fire AK-47s as well as use hand grenades and even suicide belts. In her spare time, Fluke-Ekren trained children in all this as well.
Nor were her jihad terror activities limited to Syria alone: Fluke-Ekren is also accused of plotting jihad massacres at a college campus and a shopping mall inside the United States. According to Heavy, for the campus plot, she and her accomplices would dress “like infidels (non-believers) and drop off a backpack with explosives.” The shopping mall plot was similar; Fluke-Ekren “allegedly explained that she could go to a shopping mall in the United States, park a vehicle full of explosives in the basement or parking garage level of the structure, and detonate the explosives in the vehicle with a cell phone triggering device.” She wanted this to be a mass casualty attack. “Fluke-Ekren allegedly considered any attack that did not kill a large number of individuals to be a waste of resources. As alleged by the same witness, Fluke-Ekren would hear about external attacks taking place in countries outside the United States and would comment that she wished the attack occurred on United States soil instead.”
Before all this, Fluke-Ekren was a teacher for New Vision International School in Overbrook. She “had more than one son, who was 5 or 6 years old at the time and one was observed holding a machine gun. She was also raising a child whose parents had participated in a suicide bombing together in Syria on behalf of ISIS.” One person who knew Fluke-Ekren said she was an “11 or 12” on a 1 to 10 scale of radicalization.
There is more. Read the rest here.
somehistory says
She and i.elmi, alias, i. omar, are sisters to the death. Would the one condemn the other’s actions?
One training little kids to murder, and the other, fashioning *bills* to cause pain, sorrow, death. Same evil countenance, same evil soul. May they spend eternity together.

Kansas Schoolteacher Joins ISIS, Plots Jihad Massacres in U.S., Leads All-Female Terrorist Battalion
………….
Who says there are no equal rights for women under Islam? sarc/off
mortimer says
Equal opportunity stupidity. Equal opportunity suicide.
gravenimage says
Yes–I was being sarcastic, Mortimer. I had hoped that my “sarc” tag made that clear.
Politicallyincorrectistruth says
Wow, aren’t we touchy touchy. It was clear to Mortimer what you wrote and he obviously added his thought on the act of Jihad planned by the schoolteacher, as being stupid and suicide. There was ZERO attack on your comment….but as usual you misunderstand a persons comments. Even without the “sarc/off” tag, your question is very obviously “tongue in cheek”.
Yet another case of someone misunderstanding peaceful islam….and just in case gravenimage misunderstands, i’ll put a “sarc/off” on the end. sarc/off
gravenimage says
OK….
Infidel says
No, Politicallyincorrectistruth, Mortimer is actually that dense! He obviously thought that nobody got that joke but him
mortimer says
So what happens to the women jihadists? Do they get transgender operations from Allah? Do they get 72 virgin brides in Islamic paradise. Hooris are women, are they not?
Are these female jihadists LESBIANS? I though Islam disapproved of lesbians.
gravenimage says
Actually, Islam is very unclear on whether Hooris are women or not. Sometimes they are described as such; sometimes it is pretty obvious that they are something supernatural.
The fact is that Muslim men don’t much care what Hooris are, just so long as they can eternally rape them, and they are eternal regenerating virgins.
Pretty much the same about the few women who don’t go to hell, as well–Muslim men don’t much care about them. There are endless discussions of what Muslim men get in paradise–accounts of what Muslim women get is a lot scantier.
Generally they either just avoid being tortured for all eternity–or occasionally they are described as having to watch their husbands have sex with the other wives and all of those Hooris. Funny–that sounds pretty hellish to most women, but then, this is Islam, after all…

I guess she gets the number 73 somewhere
Keith O says
If there was ever a poster child for the need of the death sentence, then this vile individual is it!
Rufolino says
That was my reaction too, Keith.
Walter Sieruk says
What deluded fools those female jihadists truly are, for the phenomena of females who are jihad suicide /homicide bombers is tragic, sad, yet interesting in a negative sort of way. The reasons for the delusional and murderous behavior by brainwashed, girls and women is the mind programming inflected on them by the Muslims clerics, as the imams, who keep telling them lines and lies. Such as “We will honor you” and “You will go to paradise” and “We are doing this for Allah.”
That’s some strange kind of “We.” For the reader might ,very well ,notice the those same Muslim clerics who so thoroughly mind indoctrinate them into actually wanting to become human bombs are never, ever, the ones who strap bombs vest on themselves and then go out and blow themselves up in a suicide bombing. Those Islamic clerics just mind condition and then manipulate them to become, literally, dangerous to self and others by engaging in murderous bombs attacks. Ten the same Muslim clerics sit home safe all the while the deadly bombing are going on. Therefore those Islamic clerics who use those girls and women as stooges for the jihad are both despicable and cowardly
.
In addition, Islam gives female be they girls or women, little to no value or worth because Islam because is, in essence, a religion of extreme misogyny. Nevertheless, the Muslim clerics and the jihadist leaders of different jihad organizations will not hesitate to use girls and women for the advancement of their jihad agenda for Islam. How Ironic. How unconscionable! How callous! They are so very wicked. The Bible informs its reader that “The counsels of the wicked are deceitful.” Proverbs 12:5. [N.K.J.V.]
Wellington says
Woof! What a dog (ironic, no?).
James Lincoln says
Yes, Wellington.
If Ed McMahon (a retired Marine Col.) were still around, he would probably feature her in a dog food commercial.
PRCS says
A battalion, eh?
Not a regiment?
Who decided to label it a battalion?
gravenimage says
PRCS, certrainly in the British Army a battalion is larger than a regiment.
But battalion can also just mean any body of troops under a single commander. I’m not sure how organized the Islamic State ever was militarily.
Wellington says
The two terms can be very confusing, gravenimage. In many militaries a battalion is a small regiment and during the American Revolutionary War the terms were interchangeable where the Continental Army was concerned.
gravenimage says
Thank you, Wellington. This was the basic point I was trying to make.
VICTOR COWEN says
Has she been fired from her job yet and arrested for promoting terrorism?
gregbeetham says
That’s about the level of intellectual development one can expect to achieve within Islam, but of course we stole everything that we have in the West from Muslims in the first place, according to them, and that’s why they are so backward and culturally retarded, (except for knowledge they assimilated occasionally from lesser beings), it was our fault apparently that Islam causes cultural stagnation. We in the West admire their cultural development method so much that now we have our own retards, the Left, who want to emulate their success. A pursuit to nowhere.

Not all teachers are intelligent.
Alfredo says
One look at that picture in the mug shot to ascertain without a shadow of a doubt, certified psychopath…
She exudes evil from those vacant eyes. The infamous dead fish look in them. The capacity for love long gone now replaced with that endless all consuming and ever lasting hatred.
Every day the conviction increases that what is mistakenly misnamed the religion of peace produces the kind of individuals that can only be described as depraved psychopaths.
Alfredo says
Only one look at that mug shot peering into those dead fish eyes to get the chills up your spine screaming red flag! That’s “the look” of a psycho.
You wouldn’t want to run into that character in a dark alley after dark in one of those souks deep in the old quarters of ancient Damascus.
OLD GUY says
If convicted and I don’t see how she wouldn’t be she should be executed for treason and being a terrorist, with plans to attack Americans. Hopefully we did not import her children when she was captured.
