American Woman Pleads Guilty to Aiding Islamic State
The Facts
Allison Fluke-Ekren, a Kansas-born woman who led an all-female Islamic State battalion, pleaded guilty on Tues. in federal district court to conspiring to provide material support for terrorism.
Fluke-Ekren, who was captured in Syria and transferred to US custody in January, is scheduled for sentencing on Oct. 25. She faces up to 20 years in prison.
The Spin
Narrative A
Muslim converts turning to jihadism is distressingly common. Biden's willful ignorance and politicization of counterterror activity to focus on a fictional white supremacist threat instead is costing American lives.
Narrative B
Very few Muslim Americans and converts become radicalized. Rather than focusing on the tiny group that do, the government has vilified all of Islam with its 20-year securitization campaign.
