It is unfortunate that some people can only learn only after it is too late. I am sad for the young lady. She was beautiful and the world was there for her to enjoy. She threw it away for religion.

Young goes along with stupid and sometimes you just can't fix stupid.

Young does not mean stupid, it can and often does however mean naive. Naivety and stupidity are not the same thing.

And actually, stupid can be cured. Tell the truth and ask questions and value education and discovery. Stop valuing dogma as well. In fact, without is, these girls would probably still be alive.

True, true. God knows I made some incredibly stupid decisions as a teen and didn't die because of them, by pure, stupid luck.

Doubt it. Some people are hellbent on personal destruction.

Except when they used their Kalashnikov's to shoot you in the head.

Being raised with the words of the prophet Mohamed ( peace be upon him ) and the will of Allah instilled into them they had no choice but to heed the" there is no life without jihad " call as all true Muslims must eventually do.

Anyone who willingly seeks out ISIS is not the victim.

The two girls were Bosnian Muslim refugees (from the link). So much for allowing women and children in first.

I hope this gets covered by all media outlets. Let this serve as a cautionary tale to not just women, but to anyone sick enough that they're thinking of joining Daesh.
