3 Denver teen girls stopped from joining ISIS
The FBI stopped three teen age girls — two sisters, ages 17 and 15, and their 16-year-old friend — from going to Turkey, possibly to become ISIS brides, when they flew through Frankfurt, Germany last weekend. The girls skipped school on Friday and their families claim they didn’t know what they had planned, according to the Associated Press;
Another U.S. official called the case “concerning” both to the community and to the country in general. The official said the evidence gathered so far made it clear that the girls were headed to Syria, though the official said investigators were still determining what sort of contacts they had in that country. The official said investigators would be trying to figure out whether there were “like-minded” friends and acquaintances in the girls’ social circle.
They weren’t the first, and they probably won’t be the last. Lee Smith tries to explain the phenomenon in the Tablet;
A Washington Institute for Near East Policy poll last week showed that the Islamic State has more support in Europe than it does in the Middle East. The poll reported that only 3 percent of Egyptians, 5 percent of Saudis, and under 1 percent of Lebanese “expressed a positive opinion of the IS.” On the other hand, 7 percent of U.K. respondents had a favorable view of the group, as did 16 percent of French polled—with 27 percent of French citizens between 18-24 responding favorably.

So, why given a choice between a comfortable, if somewhat boring, life as a pharmacist in Hamburg, or fighting and dying in the desert, are thousands of Western Muslims opting for the latter?
Because, for all the awesome social services and consumer goods it can offer, Europe has become incapable of endowing the lives of its citizens, Muslim or not, with meaning. A generation of young European Muslims are giving up their relatively easy lives in Malmö, Marseilles, and Manchester for the battlefields of Syria and Iraq, because Europe is devoid of values worth living—or dying—for. They are leaving for the same reason that Europe’s Jews are moving to Israel: Strength and a sense of purpose can be found elsewhere, whether it’s ISIS, Vladimir Putin, Ali Khameni, or the IDF.
Yeah, it’s the culture – the more shock that you can elicit from your peers, the more accepted you become. Whether you’re Miley Cyrus or Ron Jeremy swinging on a wrecking ball naked. ISIS is the most shocking organization that you can join, so there you go. I’m actually surprised that Madonna hasn’t joined them yet. We can only hope.

I wonder if Madonna would look any better in a burka. One thing for sure: she won’t look any better after she opens her mouth over there.
There is a point there. When you go soft this is what happens.
The boogieman exists. He IS hiding under your bed, in yor closet and behind your door.
But I have to admit the Putin memes are pretty hilarious.
Since when do American females have to join ISIS in order to be treated like shit? There are plenty of NFL players available. Rim shot.
bada bing!
Rim shot; isn’t that what Kobe Bryant did to that chick in Colorado???? Bazynga!!
This +++1 x 100
I’m torn on this one. My first reaction is, fuck them, let them go into that miserable existence and never let them return. However, they are a bunch of dumb ass kids. They’re obviously all fucked up between the ears. I wonder if they are too far gone to ever understand how bad they were about to make things for themselves. Are they now going to be angry at “the man” for keeping them from their mission? Will they be anything but low informed liberals from now on? Probably not.
You know what? I’m sticking with my first reaction. Fuck them. Let them go. In this day in age of wide spread information, if you can’t figure out how fucked up those ISIS jackasses are and how bad you would have it as a young woman with these animals, then maybe you should be taken out of our gene pool.
I have no problem with valuable life lessons for idiot children like this. My only problem is that they also involve the innocent babies that they carry within a month of arrival.
I’m wondering how 3 juveniles got passports and plane tickets without an adult?
The families say they didn’t know? Bullshit.
Yeah, that is a bit suspect to say the least. For one, how do three teenagers come up with the coin to purchase those plane tickets? Can a juvenile even purchase plane tickets? Any bets that the families are of the camel riding descent?
Not to give the parents a pass, but the kids could have stolen a credit card and bought tickets online. It isn’t unusual to see unaccompanied minors traveling these days, so I can see how they could have gotten on a plane.
It’s also possible that the guys in Syria are paying for the tickets.
Old Trooper…If it’s like around here, it’s either their families or the local support from their Mosque. In this case I would bet that both knew about them and were complicit in their choice.
Also; they obviously hadn’t heard about the 2 Austrian girls that ran away from home to give up the poon for jihad and are now whining about it and want to come home. I guess both are pregnant and were passed around the campfire by the jihadis like a bottle of Mad Dog 20/20 at a junior high party.
These kids running over there is one thing. I want to ask WHY theshiteatingcocksuckingpisspantsmotherfuck isn’t anyone going after those recruiting them to do so?
They are getting recruited online. plus, mosques make great recruiting centers and since Eric Holder told the FBI to stay out of mosques, we don’t really know what they are swaying during Friday prayers.
I forgot that Holder gave that order, which to me is giving aid, comfort and sanctuary to the enemies of our way of life and society!
Somebody should have told them there was no pumpkin spice lattes in Syria.
Problem solved.
I guess they think it’s just like “Mad Max: Thunderdome”, just a movie and nothing bad happens.
Okay. I think a sharp dose of reality would be good for them. Drop them off over there, cancel their passports, etc. They can find out for themselves what a little excitement really is – the hard way.
Ok, I “might”,and I have a strong maybe on that,understand why a male teenager would want to join up with IS, from your explanation of boredom. But there is NO way I could ever understand how a female could ever want to willingly join a group known to treat women worse than dogs could want that. How fucking bad must your home life be that you would give up everything”to be passed around a camp fire like a bottle of M/D 2020″?
One article said they were “of Somalian descent”. Syria might look good to them.
This says a lot: ‘Because, for all the awesome social services and consumer goods it can offer, Europe has become incapable of endowing the lives of its citizens, Muslim or not, with meaning.’
That is either happening here, now, or will blossom here before too long. Coddling kids instead of making them do something to earn what they spend turns them into directionless teenagers and equally directionless adults. They become easy prey for exactly this kind of crap, especially when their parents are too busy for words with other things – or should I say, too self-involved and not paying attention where they should?
Hand your kids everything and you turn them into slackers who can’t figure out what to do with themselves besides get high and watch TV, or go off on some adrenaline junky ride exactly like this.
And the democraps/socialists think it’s all okay to just give those little darlings whatever they want. This is the result.
Ex-PH2…THANK YOU!!! Here-Here and well said!
They probably already had passports (all 3 of my boys have theirs so we could travel overseas) and I’ll bet that when the parents check their credit cards they’ll see the charges for the tickets.
What I’m WAY more worried about is when ISIS and their ilk start telling these recruits that they can do more for the cause by providing aid and comfort to ISIS cells here in the U.S. and abroad.
If they’re really that stupid, then good riddance. Here’s your Darwin Award, thank you kindly for not tainting our gene pool. Hope you enjoy that natural selection!
They should be encouraged to leave as not one American citizen was ever asked if we wanted them here to begin with. Thank you, immigrationistas.
I don’t see why we stopped them. Let them go there and be “wives” for 100 ISer’s each. (We could call their reinforcements Ice Ice Babies!)
On the other hand, they’ll very likely not come back, will be sold into the sex slave trade, and/or put in harems with all the goats.
If they think that life is so great, GTFO of the US. I would say the same to all the others who agree with ISIS and all the apologists for islamic extremists. Go live with them and don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
“Yeah, it’s the culture – the more shock that you can elicit from your peers, the more accepted you become.” There is much truth in that and also a quest for status (as in years ago in Ulster when school dropouts could say ‘I am soldier of the IRA or UDF’, not an unemployed loser) and a desire to get even with smarter and more powerful people you think have blocked the way to getting to where you think should be in life. This is also idealism but I can’t see that in wanting to join a nihilistic bunch like ISIS. Few think it through. One member of the Italian Red Brigades was appalled at the answer she got from a fellow member on what he wanted to do after the “revolution.” “What! All this just for a little cottage in the countryside!”
There is a significant segment of young people who would not object to two years of compulsory intense military service. Certainly there is a general sense among millions of young people of being shut out, having no place in society, doomed to never being able to have a decent job,their own accommodation, and freedom from constant stress. However, here is also (and I speak from experience teaching in schools with Muslim students in Africa, Arabia and Britain as well as military service in three armies) of settling ancient scores (idiotic prejudices). It is difficult for Americans, who have done so much good in the world and are so receptive ot immigrants wanting to work hard and make a better life, to accept just how loathed they are. No good deed goes unpunished.
