ERBIL, Iraq (Reuters) - A Swedish teenager rescued from Islamic State militants in Iraq has said life in the so-called caliphate was "really hard" and that she was duped into going there by her boyfriend.
In her first interview since Kurdish special forces recovered her in northern Iraq, the 16-year old told a Kurdish TV channel she had met her boyfriend in mid-2014 after dropping out of school in Sweden.
"First we were good but then he started to look at ISIS videos and speak about them and stuff like that," she told Kurdistan 24 in a brief interview, using another name for the Islamic State group.

That is unexpected. Who would have guessed that living under the control of oppressive terrorist thugs who use rape as a weapon would be hard for a teenage girl?

Charge her with crimes against humanity and have appropriate punishment. ASAP!

Why would a Swedish girl hook up with a filthy raghead wannabe jihadi? Didn't the alarms go off when he suggested they leave Sweden for some dust-blown hellhole?
She's lucky she still has her head, for all the good it's done her.

She may be Swedish or she may be “Swedish” as in the inbred child of inbred immigrants with a tendency to ISIS sorts of things. Not surprising that she dropped out of school.

Very lucky. She’s pretty and white. I’m surprised they didn’t execute her.

Unfortunately sex makes people do very dumb things. Especially those who are already ignorant.
He was probably one of those young, good looking types they use as recruiters to bring fresh meat to the rich old slavers

I've heard of dumb blondes before but this Swedish teen couldn't be any dumber.
She's lucky she got out of this alive. What happened to her so-called boyfriend? He wasn't a bright bulb either.

Seems only a sociopath or Muslim fanatic would be attracted to ISIS and similar violent groups.
