Hoda Muthana used Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, and Ask.fm to spread the very messages ISIS used to inspire violence against America. I've been tracking her posts for years.
I started texting with Hoda Muthana April 5, 2015, when she was 20 and I was 26.
We were talking on Kik, a messaging service mostly used by dating app users looking to hook up -- and jihadis looking to communicate. Muthana's first question was how I'd found her. "I'm a journalist," I told her. "I do my job well."
"No ur not," she replied. "Don't get a big head."
So I proved it to her, by sending her a smiling high school graduation photograph of herself. That's when Muthana threatened me for the first time.
"If I see that photo online. I will get someone to kill you," she texted me back.
At the time, Muthana was a curiosity, a shy American college girl turned "ISIS bride." Now, she's sitting in a Kurdish refugee camp with her son, Adam, who will turn 2 soon, begging to return to her homeland, the United States. She has become a symbol of a new debate about the young people -- and, in particular, the women -- who were radicalized by ISIS. Are they monsters, or victims? And more broadly, in this age of online radicalization, who has traveled beyond redemption? Who can be deradicalized, and who can be redeemed?

I.don’t.think.that.would.be.a.good.idea. Realy...
no
No.
Agree, nope.
No, and Buzzfeed also has to go.
No.
Of course. she can come back, after she gets out of gitmo in 20 years....
Up hers...
She’s not US citizen. Social media is irrelevant.
She is home.
And it ain’t America.
Not a chance in hell.
Is she one of the leaders terrorizing her fellow camp mates
No. Tell her to get lost.
No.
She made her bed(s). Let her sleep in them...all of them.
The U.S. is no longer Hoda Muthana’s home. She should never be allowed back in unless it is to be tried, convicted, and sentenced to hang for treason.
A modern day “prodigal son” story, ala muslim meme.
It is entirely possible they are both victims and monsters at the same time.
Don’t let her back in as an example to other “idealistic” leftist women who would be tempted to try the same thing.
She’s not a US citizen and owes America no allegiance, so treason is not applicable. She’s an unlawful enemy combatant, but putting her in Gitmo would be a waste of money and effort.
She can sneak across the Mexican border like the rest.
She will come home to a ticker tape parade when the demonrats get full control.....
