Samra Kesinovic, 17, went to Syria in April 2014 with her 16-year-old friend Sabina Selimovic, where they became propaganda poster girls for the Islamist group.
Now several Austrian newspapers are claiming Samra has been beaten to death, citing insider sources and an interview with a Tunisian woman who lived with the pair before escaping.
...
Some reports suggest both are now dead, with the UN’s David Scharia saying: “Both were recruited by Islamic State. One was killed in the fighting in Syria, the other has disappeared.”
...
Reports emerged in recent weeks that the teens had experienced a change of heart and wanted to come home.
It was also claimed the pair had married and had become pregnant to IS fighters.
In an interview from inside Islamic State in October, Selimovic blasted claims that she wants to return home in an interview believed to be held at gunpoint by her IS-devoted husband.
...
But experts back in Vienna claimed the entire interview is just one big publicity stunt used to try and rebuild the image of the Islamic State amid recent reports the girls wished to return to their families in Austria.
These girls played with fire and got burnt. Did they think this was some kind of movie or TV show where it would be cool to be part of the rebellious crowd?
If anyone is recruited by these people, get away from them. They do not care about you. They only want to use you. Report them if you are able.

I think they fill their heads with all sorts of lies, including "you can come home whenever you want to". To me it seems they are using the same kind of tactics pimps use on young girls to fool them into the sex trade, and by the time they realize just what they've gotten themselves into, it's too late. We can dismiss this as just these girls, but THIS has become their primary recruitment tool, and teens appear to be all too vulnerable.
It is a striking fact that ISIS appeals not only to young men, but also young European women, many hundreds of whom have gone to Syria and Iraq to marry Islamic State fighters. Sure, some of them, like at least one teenaged French Jewish girl who left for Syria, may have come to regret their decision. But that hardly alters the essential point: The girls sought out IS fighters because the West seems weak and unmanly and they pine for real men who are willing to kill and die for what they believe in.
Why? Europe’s got great health care, welfare, and lots of attractive young men and attractive women who, unlike the vast majority of women in the Middle East outside of Israel, are sexually available. 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.
Last statement of the article...
What Europe’s disaffected youth see is that the Western powers roll over and take it, again and again. The issue isn’t that we enjoy being humiliated. It’s just that we don’t really believe there’s anything worth fighting for. And that’s why thousands of Europe’s young Muslim men have taken sides against us—and why 15-year-old girls hold us in contempt.
Wish I could say I feel bad but... I can't. I don't.
Stupid kids thought they could go off, be all rebellious, and have fun. Not with radical Islamists, you can't. Unless your definition of "fun" is also beheading people and severely oppressing women while threatening to take over Rome.
What bimbos. Do they not realize they're joining an organization that has extreme misogyny as part of their ideology? Why are they working against their own interests?
If this was European men joining, I wouldn't be as surprised. But women??
They are Bosnian Muslims. They look European, they are from an ethnic group born geographically in Europe, but culturally they are far from European. All I can say is, I won't cry for their deaths. In fact I'm sort of glad, I want all extremist sympathizers in Europe to run off to Syria to die.
Why would you cry for someone going to heaven?
That's so bad of you.
Let these two nitwits be a lesson to any other numbnuts who want to go join those buttheads in ISIS. You live by the sword and you die by the sword.
