I'm a Blonde Tattooed Girl from Texas. Why are ISIS Fighters Tweeting Marriage Proposals to Me?

ast Monday, I had 60 followers on Twitter. Today, I have more than 4,300. Not to brag or anything, but that’s more than Benjamin Wittes; more than Bobby Chesney; more than Jack Goldsmith; more than my boss, Daniel Byman. But here’s the problem: A healthy number of them are Islamic extremists, including no small number of supporters of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). A lot of them live in Saudi Arabia.

And some of them want to marry me.

The reason is a single tweet.

Early last week, the hashtag “#MuslimApologies” began trending on Twitter. The hashtag was a tongue-in-cheek response to those—such as right-wing radio host Laura Ingraham—who, in the wake of the beheadings of Westerners by ISIS, have questioned why Muslims have not been more vocal about denouncing terrorism carried out in the name of Islam (except that many have).

I noticed that too. We do seem to be getting less wise and more feckless by the day, unfortunately.

No one bothers to point out her poorest judgment of all: her conversion to Islam.

Why do girls like guys with foreign accents? You’re exotic to them, kiddo. They want to woo you, win you, then drop a burka on you and beat you.

A Muslim saying ISIS and other hard line Muslims are twisting the religion to evil is like an advocate for reducing the age of consent to 12 being upset that their pleas to allow teenagers to fully express their love is being used by child molesters to pray on young girls.

If out of 1.3 billion Muslims half a billion think it’s okay to oppress non-muslims then you don’t have people twisting a religion. You have a legit interpretation of the text.

If she thinks Allah is a merciful God she really has strained the Koran to arrive there.

If I were an intelligence agency of name your country, I’d have legions of hackers posing as prepubescent girls, horny teens and runaways, posting on all the latest social media. Like catching fish in a barrel.

A face only a Muslim could love.

WTF?

She fell out out of the ugly tree and hit every damn branch on the way down?

Quick, call the DOD, have them put you into their system, say yes to each ISIS member, ask them where they are and if they have any hostages.
