“The Prophet said, ‘War is deceit.’” (Bukhari 4.52.269)
Of course, maybe Hoda Muthana isn’t trying to deceive us. But maybe she is, although the possibility will likely be dismissed as “Islamophobic,” and the lives of Americans put at risk by her return.
“‘I just want to go home’: Alabama jihadi bride stripped of her citizenship after calling for extremists to ‘spill blood of Americans’ pleads to be let back into U.S.,” by Eleanor Dye and Melissa Koenig, Daily Mail, February 8, 2023:
An Alabama jihadi bride who was stripped of her citizenship after joining ISIS in Syria now claims the terrorist group plans to attack the Syrian camp where she is detained – but says she ‘just wants to go home’.
Hoda Muthana, 28, says she fears that ISIS will attack Camp Roj – the detention camp in north east Syria where she has been detained.
Muthana joined the terrorist group when she was 20 but now says she was groomed online by members who wanted to attract young and vulnerable women.
She was stripped of her citizenship by Obama and, in January, Supreme Court Justices refused to hear her appeal to be allowed back.
But at the height of the extremists’ power, she had voiced enthusiastic support for them on social media, calling for them to ‘spill the blood of Americans’.
The now mother, who married three fighters, responded: ‘ISIS keeps threatening even this camp and saying that one day we will free you.
‘And one day we will come help and attack the administration and stuff and nobody wants to be saved by them, you know. Everyone wants to go home.
‘It is still scary to think that ISIS could do something even inside the camp you know.’
Muthana has repeatedly claimed she is a victim of the terrorist organization, which has been involved in a decade-long war with Syria thought to have killed at least 300,000 civilians.
But at the height of the extremists’ power, she had voiced enthusiastic support for them on social media and in an interview with BuzzFeed News.
She told reporter Ellie Hall at the time that it is the duty of all true Muslims to join her and wage war on the West.
Muthana also used Twitter under the name ‘Umm Jihad’ and the handle @ZumarulJannah.
On March 19, 2015, that account shared statements encouraging followers in the US to attack parades on national holidays and ‘spill all of their blood or rent a big truck n (sic) drive all over them. Kill them’.
Another tweet posted on the same day read ‘You can look up Obamas schedule on the white house (sic) website. Take down that treacherous tyrant!’.
Muthana was also tagged in photos posted on Twitter with women clad in burkas holding rifles and ISIS flags. She later confirmed to Buzzfeed that she was one of the women in the photo.
By January 2016 the Obama administration revoked her passport and just last year, the US Supreme Court declined an appeal against that decision.
But she has denied that she sent those tweets.
‘I never had a platform to say this, but I have always been trying to tell people that those tweets were not mine,’ the former ISIS bride said recently.
‘It either gets cut out of the media or it gets kind of butchered somehow and I never get a platform.
‘It’s not fair, the person that did bring me here had a wife who I become (sic) friends with.
‘There was a group of us in a home and she would take our phones.
‘She would take our phones and tell us because we’ve always thought about going back to our countries that we need to make ourselves look bad in the media so we don’t have this persuasion to go back.
‘That’s basically what her agenda was, that’s what their (ISIS) agenda is, that they have to portray you in the worst way so that you don’t have these thoughts of ever wanting to return.
‘She just took my phone and I thought she was just looking through my diary or something and then when she left and I looked through and I saw a bunch of evil horrible tweets that I would never have done because I wanted to stay off media, I never wanted to get myself out there you know.
‘It was not only me that she did it to, it was several people and they were made to look really bad also.’…
Hassan Shibly, an attorney who has assisted Muthana´s family, said it is ‘absolutely clear that she was brainwashed and taken advantage of.’
He said her family wishes she could come back, pay her debt to society and then help others from ‘falling into the dark path that she was led down.’
‘She was absolutely misguided, and no one is denying that. But again, she was a teenager who was the victim of a very sophisticated recruitment operation that focuses on taking advantage of the young, the vulnerable, the disenfranchised,’ he said.
Wellington says
Even Obama got this? Well, conclude accordingly and err on the side of safety. Kiss off, Buttlima.

If she saw that someone else had written “awful tweets,” why couldn’t, why wouldn’t, she go in and say that wasn’t her? Why leave them until isis was overrun and then begin begging to return to Alabama?
mozlums like. mozlums lie and they lie. Unless they are saying how much they wish to kill the rest of us, enslave us, rape and murder all their hands can find. She said all that and more, and now she lies when she claims she did not.
James Lincoln says
somehistory says,
“…mozlums like. mozlums lie and they lie.”
Also true of Leftists.
I mean, look at our pretend POTUS…
somehistory says
that is true, James. Lie and lie and lie some more. Lie until the cows come home and the fat lady sings, and still the lies continue. Like breathing is for the rest of us, lying is for them.
Both groups live on their lies, and expect the rest of us to believe them, are angry and insulted when we donn’t.
Westman says
Next we’ll hear it was ChatGPT amusing itself.
Keith O says
Let her rot in the hell she helped to create.
VictorMc says
Same story with that little *hore we have in UK SHAMima Begum or something or other. She has been stripped of her British citizenship and is now begging to “go home”
She will remain forever in the sh*thole she helped to create along with the rest of her Mislima filth.
The British ‘news’ media are giving her far far too much oxygen.
Jayell1 says
Ms Begum is taking a very long time to realise that the UK isn’t her ‘home’ anymore. I believe she’s actually got one in Bangladesh but they don’t seem to want her either – shouldn’t that be telling her something? In any case, the weather in Syria gets much warmer than the horrible cold, wet UK and she has the designer sunglasses to go with the latest Oxford Street gear she was last seen wearing, so what’s wrong with life where she is at the moment?
somehistory says
the pretend American wants to get back to Sweet Home Alabama’ when it never really was her home. It was all a pretense and the Court ruled that she had no legal right to come back to a country where she wanted all non mozlums dead.
hey are all alike, these low-fife who want to slaughter everyone who tells the Truth about them or who just don’t agree with them.
PMK says
She joined the terrorist group when she was 20. (She was old enough to vote.)
If she really wanted to stay off media then what was she doing giving interviews to media organizations? Why did she even have a smart phone? Why did she have a twitter id?
Of course she could get around the citizenship issue. Do what other Muslim terrorists have done. Fly to Mexico and cross the border into the US. Joe Biden will welcome her with open arms.
OLD GUY says
But of course you can believe her she’s ISLAMIC and you don’t want to be called out for Islamophobia.
What are the odd’s that she’s telling the truth? About the same as me winning the power ball lottery, slim and none.
Hoda turned her back on America of her own free will, now she will have to live with it. Best of luck being a USED muslim women.

The only way to stop ISIS is to kill every last one of them – including their wives. If it’s a young child, never tell them who their monster parents were, and have them placed with a non-Muslim family.
I’ve seen a documentary where their ISIS kids, very young, roam around with weapons calling for the deaths and beheadings of infidels!!! Where will these monsters go? We need to stop being so passive. ISIS needs to be put to death and stop them cold I’m their tracks
dazzleme says
Let her rot where she is. She doesn’t deserve to come back to America!
Scotsman48 says
IF the ISIS thugs come into the Camp she currently resides in then they will treat her as they treat all women and she will be glad, even if they send her off to allah world where maybe she can get hold of a dead fighter and live ever after in allah world.
