Basically if you join ISIS and then come back whing about how it sucks, your government should just go "lol no" and charge you with war crimes, assisting acts of genocide and crimes against humanity.

There's been some debate about how to deal with young people who joing ISIS and come back. Because we can't decide what to do with people who knowingly joined an enemy force that is LITERALLY GENOCIDING ENTIRE COMMUNITIES and bragging about it. Answer: War crimes trial! :cop:

i also think a dumb teenager who probably got raped and beaten for months deserves to be charged with war crimes because it would be epic karmic justice haha xd

 mental illness excuses you of a lot of things actually. having been depressed, it's not really a state of mind you can make rational decisions in

The actual test is not whether you suffer from a mental illness but whether you're sufficiently impaired by that mental illness as to be incapable of distinguishing right from wrong. There is no reason we should apply a different test to those who travel overseas to aid a terror group than we would apply to those who aided a domestic terror group.

Does the IS know how to locate disaffected young people and exploit their disillusionment in order to recruit them? Absolutely. Does that absolve those recruits of responsibility? No. You have to wilfully ignore a lot of red flags to get to the point of joining just like you need to wilfully ignore a lot of red flags to become a 419 scam victim or join a cult.

We owe them no more sympathy than we owe Elliot Rodger. We need to understand their choices so that we can disrupt the ability of the IS and similar organisations to recruit young Westerners, but understanding and sympathy are different beasts.

yes this girl was completely aware of the full ramifications of her decision when she was recruited. that's why she suffered a horrible shock when reality ensued and was willing to risk her life trying to escape. i offer no sympathy to this dead girl who most likely spent the last year of her life regretting her ruined life in the midst of being subjected to whatever being an ISIS bride entails.

really the only reason a 17-year-old girl would ever join ISIS is to become a suicide bomber terrorist and kill lots of people. drat those ISIS recruiters, they know exactly what every teenaged girl wants: sweet mass murder and infidel executions
