My latest in PJ Media:
On Monday, according to the Associated Press, “the U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear the appeal of a woman who left home in Alabama to join the Islamic State terror group, but then decided she wanted to return to the United States.” And so Hoda Muthana, just your average hijab-wearing Alabama gal who decided one day to go to Syria to join the Islamic State (ISIS), and whose whereabouts are currently unknown, will not be returning to the U.S., at least not anytime soon.
In declining to hear Muthana’s appeal, the Supreme Court at least in this instance was showing a refusal to bow to public pressure. That pressure has been going on for years. In 2019, when Muthana was initially barred from returning, NBC News ran a sympathetic piece on her as a down-to-earth girl who made a mistake. She says she “regrets every single thing” she said in those halcyon days of the Islamic State and thinks it is only just to let her come back to Sweet Home Alabama: “Anyone that believes in God believes that everyone deserves a second chance, no matter how harmful their sins were.”
NBC News certainly agreed. Hoda, NBC told us, spoke to them from a “refugee camp in Syria where she and her 2-year-old son, Adam, live in a tent.” She “now claims to reject the extremist ideology that she once espoused so freely online,” but that isn’t good enough for “Islamophobic” American officials: she faces, said NBC, “an uphill battle to be allowed back into the U.S.”
Meanwhile, the poor girl was suffering:
And simply getting by day to day is a struggle, she says. She says she finds it “hard to get up in the morning” and, despite being moved from the larger al-Hawl refugee camp for her own safety, is scared of retribution from whom she calls the more radical women around her. She also claimed to be afraid of speaking out, saying it could result in her becoming a target. “I am risking my life doing these types of interviews,” she said.
Not only that: “I’m scared of my son being here. We can’t afford bottled water, so we have to drink the tank water and … it causes stomach aches.” And fumes from oil fields in the vicinity give her and Adam headaches “every day, every hour almost.”
According to NBC, Hoda Muthana’s plight, her fear, her difficulty getting out of bed, her stomach aches, her headaches, her day-to-day struggle, was the fault of — who else? — Donald J. Trump, who said in 2019 that he had ordered then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo not to allow Hoda to reenter the United States. The Trump administration contended that Hoda was not an American citizen, for while she was born in New Jersey, she was the daughter of a Yemeni government official who was only here temporarily and so was not entitled to birthright citizenship. Pompeo also bluntly stated the core of the problem with her returning to Alabama: “She’s a terrorist.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Agree with wellington: May she rot in Yemen.
somehistory says
if my memory serves me correctly, she is the one who urged mozlums in the U.S. to run over Americans in their cars.
And then, when she saw the new lay of the land and things weren’t working out as she had believed they would, said she just wanted to come back and “drive a car.”
People have to learn, sooner or later, that their decisions have consequences….sometimes, things they don’t like happen after they make their choices. It’s too bad she got pregnant, it’s too bad that her son is having problems, health and others, but it’s all her doing, all her fault and one day, she can explain it to him. She won’t, but she could and would if she really had a change of heart.

Hoda Muthana has not renounced the following …
The Koran’s 164 Jihad Verses: K 2:178-179, 190-191, 193-194, 216-218, 244; 3:121-126, 140-143, 146, 152-158, 165-167,169, 172-173, 195; 4:71-72, 74-077, 84, 89-91, 94-95,100-104; 5:33, 35, 82; 8:1, 5, 7, 9-10, 12, 15-17, 39-48, 57-60, 65-75; 9:5, 12-14, 16, 19-20, 24-26, 29, 36, 38-39, 41, 44, 52, 73, 81, 83, 86, 88, 92, 111, 120, 122-123; 16:110; 22:39, 58, 78; 24:53, 55; 25:52; 29:6, 69; 33:15, 18, 20, 23, 25-27, 50; 42:39; 47:4, 20, 35; 48:15-24; 49:15; 59:2, 5-8, 14; 60:9; 61:4, 11, 13; 63:4; 64:14; 66:9; 73:20; 76:8
PRCS says
Given the border situation, she’ll be here soon.
Pay the human smuggling/narco gangs, a few bogus documents, a “marriage” scam, on welfare–with “free” healthcare, housing, food stamps, cellphone, education allowance, etc……
Is this a great country, or what?
tim gallagher says
She went to join ISIS, no doubt got involved with the atrocities that that mob of scum of the earth vermin were carrying out in allah’s name, and yet now she is upset because she has to drink dirty water and she can’t get out of bed (sheer laziness from the evil cow probably) and the media are sympathetic to her. Unbelievable. She should live the rest of stinking life in that refugee camp. It is sad for the young child, but the child has no chance with such evil maggots as parents anyway. The media should not be fooled by her and should not be sympathetic to any adult or teenager who went off to join the satanically evil ISIS scum. It was well known what ISIS were up to. It’s a very good decision to keep her out of the USA. All these ISIS scum should be kept out of all western countries.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
Has she apostatized from Islam?
“Anyone that believes in God believes that everyone deserves a second chance, no matter how harmful their sins were.”
Where does the Quran say that?
BexarKat says
It is clearly stated in the Sura: “Fuck the Jews and the Christians” and repeated several times in the Hadiths.
gregbeetham says
No I don’t think the Koran says anything about second chances, but I believe the Koran mentions in passing that ‘he who changes his (Islamic) religion, kill him’, so if she were to renounce Islam in a refugee camp for ISIS females there’s a good chance her own religion (past tense) will visit the same retribution on her that ISIS did on hundreds of thousands who they thought weren’t Muslim enough.
I couldn’t care less myself as she was quite happy to be the top dog while it lasted promoting terror and probably participating in torture and terror herself and exhorting the Muslim population in America to attack non Muslims in any manner they see fit, i.e. get a truck and run over people in parades etc.
As far as I know Australia has refused some ISIS members re-entry to Australia also.

What she means is that the credulous Infidels have to keep giving Muslims second chances, no matter how suicidal it is for them.

She finds it hard to get up in the morning? Tell that to the dead and their relatives she and her compatriots left in their wake.
BTW- She looks a lot like that illegal alien posing as an American Congresswoman.

ISIS Bride From Alabama Loses Supreme Court Appeal to Return to the U.S.
…………
Yes–good news! Hope it sets a precedence.
abu taleb says
Muslims claim they despise the western living style, but they want to come to the west. It is so typical of muslims, full of hypocrisy, lies and parasitic traits in addition of mean, cruel and dishonest.
gregbeetham says
There is one thing that terrifies a Muslim, what happens in the afterlife, they think that when their sins are weighed up against their good deeds that if they fall short they could end up in the burning pit for eternity. Sins can include something as simple as not doing the 5 daily prayers which over time can mount up and become a load too great to overcome so the attraction of going to the West is that by going there they are spreading Islam and are exempt from retribution by Allah in the afterlife.
I think the attraction of Muslims to the West it is as simple as that, once Muslims are in the West they can relax a bit, the pressure is off about the afterlife and being burnt for eternity; they might even forget 2 or 3 daily prayers or so and think they’ll get away with it.
This ISIS bride is no longer pursuing Jihad with ISIS so she needs to get back to the West to maintain immunity from the wrath of Allah (Satan) for her and her son.
Personally I think they should trade Allah in for a mangy camel and then shoot the varmint.
Holger Kruger says
LAD US SAY IT IN THIS WAY.
CONVERT TO CRISTIANITY AND DROP YOUR HIJAB. THEN YOU MAYBE HAVE A CHANCE. IF NOT THEN STAY WHERE YOU ARE. WHO CARE?
PRCS says
So, you’d welcome her if she’d just drop the hijab and convert to Christianity?
What if she dropped the hijab and converted to, say, Buddhism or Hinduism or Sikhism or…no religion?
Cool with that, or is it Christianity or nothing?
Check Burry says
Ill 2nd that, even 3rd it.
No return.
Plus Ive stopped where possible buying ANY junk made in china. Hope millions more do same.

Remember when the giant tsunami devastated Aceh and the Christian world responded with massive aid? Now Muslim Aceh never misses an opportunity to wreck churches or lash Christians. Never again will I donate to aid Muslims.

Spread the news wide and far. Join with terrorists ‘to suffer and die with them’. That is the only reward you will ever know.

Why doesn’t she get her punishment there where she is now? Prison, death penalty….
OLD GUY says
She used her American right of free choice when she left her country to join isis. At that point she gave up her right to be an American and joined the enemy of our country. Decisions have consequences, she will now have to live or die with hers.
john smith says
She’s made her bed so let her lie in it.
