EXCLUSIVE - How doctor's daughter became the Muslim convert widow of Boston bomber
The Daily Mail ^

Schoolfriend tells MailOnline how Katherine Russell had dreams of joining the Peace Corps - but was 'totally transformed' by Tamerlan Tsarnaev Katherine Russell, the widow of Boston bomb suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was 'an all-American girl who was brainwashed' by her extremist husband according to one schoolfriend. Today MailOnline has gained the first glimpse and pictures of the early life of the woman who, according to those who knew her best, was 'totally transformed' by Tsarnaev. At high school her personal motto was 'Do something about it or stop complaining'. She dreamed of going to college and joining the Peace Corps. She urged her friends to 'lighten up and enjoy the small things,' in life. Instead she met Tsarneav, 26, a disenfranchised man who came to America from his troubled homeland of Chechnya who rapidly had her in his thrall. By the time she was 21 she had married him and borne his child, Zahara, now three. She had converted to Islam, hidden her tumble of chestnut hair beneath the hijab and undergone a change so profound that today few friends profess to truly understand it.

She allowed herself to be brainwashed. She gets no sympathy from me, but I have always been less than sympathetic to stupidity.

I can answer that question...she was looking for someone with some masculine qualities, but she was stuck in the Northeast.

Widow?

The woman and her family believed the two were married, but other sources called her just ‘the girlfriend’.

And of course, she wouldn't know anything at all. The family put out a statement saying they were also devastated and request privacy.

"This is what liberalism does to our daughters."

This is what happens when a once great culture is poisoned by inferior cultures in the name of diversity.

Nobody can understand what happened?

We have a good little liberal girl from an upper middle class family who went to school and learned all about the glories of Karl Marx.

And I’m sure mummy and daddy are comforting her through this trying time.

Is she now swearing revenge? Please tell me she’s not.

She prolly converted to islam because it’s so peaceful. Another sad product of liberal schools and cities.

Yeah. Diversity — the idea that all cultures are equally as valid. What garbage!

Our schools are the incubators of our national decline.
