She "fled" Germany to join ISIS.

This is the moment a German schoolgirl was found hiding in war-torn Mosul having fled from Germany to join ISIS.


She flew to Istanbul, was smuggled into Iraq, marred a Chechen fighter who was killed and ended up in Mosul where an estimated 25,000 Isis volunteers died in the battle to retake the city.


One German magazine, citing Iraqi security sources, said she and the four German women she was found with in the rubble of Mosul last month worked with the ISIS 'morals police' responsible for women adhering to strict dress codes.

So just so we are clear, because a German girl joined ISIS, millenials deserve a bad rap?

Really?

I suppose it would be equally reasonable to make sweeping generalizations of the boomer generation based on how Trump acts?

Not to mention a 16 year old is not even a millennial if you go by the popular definition. She's whatever generation is after millennials.

I didn't know Moroccans were liberal Westerners. You've got a funny definition of "liberal Westerners".

"Married" a Chechen fighter? At 15? Yeah, sure. That's not what the articles were saying after German authorities located her a year ago. Did you really think she voluntarily gave her hand in marriage, wore a white dress in a romantic ceremony, and chose to start a family?

What's wrong with people?! Haters gonna hate, I guess.

This is not a laughing matter, nor worthy of sarcasm. These were kids who were naive, and screwed up majorly, buying into a calculated online propaganda campaign. This is why people say teens need a lot of guidance and supervision; because their brains aren't mature yet.
No, it's not a laughing matter and R4T is right...teenagers do not yet have ALL the necessary tools to make the best decisions. As a matter of fact, I know full grown 'adults' who are incapable of the maturity needed to make some decisions.

While adults can use rational processes when facing emotional decisions, teenagers are simply not yet equipped to think through things in the same way.

You send them to school, help with homework, drive them to practice for whatever, provide a wholesome dinner, visit museums, read to them when they're little, camp and teach them how to survive in the wilderness, take them on nice vacations. They still do stupid ****.

You did what? So that's why the county Sheriff's Department called me. Great. Thanks.

Yes, agree wholeheartedly 100%. We always think that we will be right on top of our children and believe we will be able to circumvent anything and everything bad from happening because our parents...didn't know any better! Yeah right!

Oh and I am a gen x'er and am getting tired of how people are treating young folks. Many millennials are doing great things believe it or not. Like it or not they are our future. My generation raised them, but it is challenging due to social media. That is a big problem for the most part.
Yeah, and don't forget the other stupid generations...as if each generation doesn't/didn't have their very own pluses and minuses.

She's starting to look like Brooke Shields...one eye-brow....only not as pretty or rich.....what DO liberals do when they meet a real SOB? It's almost incredible to believe liberals are this f'in stupid....well, when Akmed is done riding her like Seabiscuit, maybe she will finally realize that there really, really are bad people who don't like you no matter how liberal and guilt-ridden you are.

Now, if they do execute her, how will they do it?

No doubt but, I don't recall any running to Iran during the revolution pledging their allegiance?
