American family in limbo after husband dies fighting for ISIS in Syria
CNN ^ | Apr 19, 2018

Posted on 04/24/2018 4:57:24 AM PDT by SJackson

Four years ago, 32-year-old Sam Sally left her hometown in Indiana for a vacation in Turkey.

The family went from a mundane life of sports cars and a delivery business to joining Islamic State fighters and seeing their son become the face of ISIS propaganda against America.

During the trip, Sally claims her husband, Moussa, duped her and her children -- Matthew, 10; Sarah, 5; and her two youngest who were born in the so-called ISIS caliphate -- into joining Islamic State militants in Syria. Sally said, "All I saw was a bunch of drug-using thugs that came from their countries who had no place."

Now out of Raqqa and in Syrian Kurdish custody, Sally must explain how her husband died fighting for ISIS and prove her innocence to U.S. authorities if she ever hopes to return home with her four kids.

Sally said she had no choice as her husband became abusive, bought teenage Yazidi sex slaves and made her 10-year-old son appear in an ISIS propaganda videos.

She knows some people will not believe her.

"They can think whatever they want to believe, but they've never been put in a situation to make a decision like that."

At the ISIS border crossing, she said she faced an impossible choice: her husband grabbed Sarah while Sally had Matthew.

Sally said, "The position I was in was to stay there with my son or watch my daughter leave with my husband and I had to make a decision. I thought -- like I said -- we could just walk across the border and we could come back again."

She chose to keep the family together.

I guess the moral of this highly sympathetic story is don't vacation in Turkey. Nice to see "Michelle's girls" in the news.

Later, Moussa suggested they buy slaves, some of the Yazidi girls captured by ISIS in 2014. They spent $20,000 on two teenage girls, Soad and Bedrine, and a younger boy Aham. It was done to keep her company, Sally said, and rescue the slaves to better lives, yet Moussa repeatedly raped the girls.

"I was just minding my own business, and all of a sudden I got put in a situation."

Sally said she had no choice as her husband became abusive, bought teenage Yazidi sex slaves and made her 10-year-old son appear in an ISIS propaganda videos.

Sally had the choice not to marry a dude named Moussa.

Maybe she can write a book. Here's a working title: When Bad Things Happen To Stupid People.

There is a lot of human trafficking going on.

As in the 19th century, the Democrats are on the wrong side of the issue.

American girls that jump in bed with Muzzies always act surprised on how things turn out.

If she’ll publicly pee on a Koran and denounce Mohammed, I might be willing to listen to her story.

I’ll save my sympathy for the three Yazidis — Soad, Bedrine and Aham — who were the family’s slaves.

Let me guess: Sam had an absent father growing up, got college indoctrination on top of pubic school, and is not a practicing Christian.

Does CNN also cry for American families when daddy makes the whole group join the KKK or American Nazi Party?

The kiddos were indoctrinated into appearing in global terrorist video. Daddy died fighting for “the struggle”.

They ceased to be Americans when they upped for a foreign power and left the States.

Imagine that, border security and keeping families together.

Well, you CAN stay there and the family wouldn’t be split apart.

>>But, it’s hard to imagine Sally did not ever realize what she was getting into. It was also when the gentle comforts of her marriage ended, and her husband — who never even seemed devout in America — became an abusive monster. “Before he used to spoil me — ‘I love you,’” Sally said. “I mean, we were very much in love. The romance never left. As soon as we came here it was completely different. Everything was completely different. I was a dog. I didn’t have any choice. It was extremely violent.”

The demo/trial period was over. Welcome to the world of Sharia.

CNN’s own article on their website blames the culture of male dominated marriage and ISIS. “fight the patriarchy”

‘The story of how Sally got there is a remarkable web of mystery, compassion, and animal savagery befitting ISIS’s legacy of almost surreal terror. And in it, Sally flits between the role of naive, manipulated housewife, and the savvy pragmatist able to survive the savage, male-dominated world of ISIS.’

All of the references to rape in the CNN article (the slaves they bought, her time in prison,...) and yet not one utterance from CNN of #MeToo.

Her first husband (she was married to a US member of the military and obtained a divorce) must’ve be a real beast to divorce him and to stay with an adulterer, drug abuser, and ultimately slave owning soldier for ISIS.

She said he changed after they got out of the US but the drugs and adultery were before that.

Hmm, this article credited to CNN omits this detail from CNN’s own article:

“The video is one of ISIS’s more notorious, in which Matthew is made to walk through a damaged mosque and streets, vow revenge on US President Donald Trump and pledge attacks on the West.”

He couldn’t have been that much of a beast, or UCMJ would have gotten him. More likely she’s a snowflake and wanted to promote “diversity”.

Her facebook account shows no new (public) posts since 2014.

Mostly it is memes and jokes.

There is THIS from 2014:

And this (from 2013):

“She chose to keep the family together.”

Decisions have consequences.
