Even still, its hard for me to feel sorry for her, but I worry about the precedents being set with cases like this.
This process of radicalization reminds me a ton of the stuff we'd see on the chans: Appeal to existing religious beliefs (QAnon's use of Christological imagry) Egging on real-life action (/pol/...

Calculated use of escalation, using more respectable (alt-lite) figures as an intro to more serious shit:
What I found was that Muthana had removed herself from her IRL community and had been pulled into her online community — at first the Muslim "Twittersphere," as she called it, and then, slowly, the networks of women ISIS members. On the ground in Alabama, I was following a ghost. She told me that she purposefully removed herself from her community once she had the clandestine agency to establish a social media presence. At first, it was one that included her siblings, her acquaintances from the mosque, her school friends — and those who knew her in real life and on social media told me that she purposefully created a “better” version of herself for Twitter, one that gained thousands of followers.

Shouldn't these ISIS brides be prosecuted for treason?
