Matthew 24:10,11 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
A woman who had been “duped” into joining the Islamic State terrorist group is speaking out in an attempt to keep other women from being deceived into joining the murderous organization.
The woman, a 25-year-old who had been an ISIS patrol officer and whose name has been kept secret by CNN to protect her, said she fled the group just before U.S. airstrikes in September.
“I don’t want anyone else to be duped by [ISIS],” the woman speaking under the alias of “khadija” told CNN. “Too many girls think they are the right Islam.”
Khadija said a Tunisian man that she met through an online dating service influenced her. He spoke glowingly about the terrorist group, saying they were not terrorists and that the media was slandering their group. He said they were just trying to “implement true Islam.”
She joined the man in Raqqa and was part of a women’s patrol unit that would beat any woman not wearing the correct Sharia clothing. She said that once she saw ISIS’ brutality first hand, she could no longer support the group.
She now is living in fear in Turkey that ISIS has her marked for death.
“A girl who is merry, who loves life and laughter… who loves to travel, to draw, to walk in the street with her headphones listening to music without caring what anyone thinks,” she said. “I want to be like that again.”
