A 19-year-old Colorado woman has been charged with providing material support and resources to a foreign terrorist organization, after she was arrested trying to board a flight from Denver to allegedly meet with members of the Islamic State of Iraq, The Denver Channel is reporting.

An FBI criminal complaint alleges that Shannon Maureen Conley, along with others, attempted to make contact with the militant group and travel to Syria via Turkey, AP reports.

Reuters has more on the criminal complaint:

It said she met a co-conspirator, only identified as Y.M. in court papers, on the Internet sometime in 2013. It said the pair "shared their view of Islam as requiring participation in violent jihad against any non-believers," and Y.M. told her he was an active member of ISIL.

It said Conley planned to travel to Syria via Turkey to meet Y.M., and first attended military tactics and firearms training with the U.S. Army Explorers in Texas in February of this year.

Puzzling that a woman, who is regarded as property in Islamic cultures, would wish to become an active participant in their Jihad.

QUOTE: Conley told investigators she liked the idea of ‘guerrilla warfare because she could do it alone.’

That’s an odd statement.

QUOTE: ‘If they think I’m a terrorist, I’ll give them something to think I am,’ the 19-year-old allegedly declared, referring to staffers at a local church where she had been taken classes.

Kinda like Muslim tollerance...question it and they’ll kill you.

Some women dream of being the property of a sufficiently "Alpha" man.

Look at a lot of the "romance novels"/"women porn" you see in bookstores. Fantasies of being in the power of a pirate king (or some such) are very common themes, indicating that women pay money to enter into the fantasy.
