During an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VAQ4tDTh46A&#038;ab_channel=TheNewsMovement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Interview<\/a> Muthana, a camp worker, said that she was brainwashed by traffickers in 2014 over the internet and convinced her to join. She stated that she regrets everything except for her son, who she had with an Islamic State fighter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI\u2019ve always said if I need to sit in prison, and do my time, I will do it. I as well am a victim of ISIS,\u201d She spoke to The News Movement.<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI\u2019m hoping my government looks at me as someone young at the time and naive,\u201d she <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/islamic-state-group-politics-syria-crime-prisons-dfb3cde1330e15b69a4c18552c837664\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>According to the Associated Press.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Muthana\u2019s parents <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/alabama-woman-who-joined-isis-hoping-allowed-back-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Immigrated<\/a> Her parents are from Yemen. She was raised in Alabama and born in New Jersey. When she was twenty-five years old, she left her home to join ISIS. She was raised in a conservative Muslim family and told her family she was going to go on a trip with her school. But instead, she went to Turkey and ended up in Syria.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201c[Her parents] didn\u2019t know I was leaving, but they had an idea,\u201d Hoda previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeednews.com\/article\/ellievhall\/gone-girl-an-interview-with-an-american-in-isis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a> Buzzfeed News interviewed her in 2015 to discuss ISIS. \u201cThey\u2019d see news reports about girls who have made it [to Syria] and say things like, \u2018Hoda would probably do that.\u2019\u2019\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI believe she\u2019s been brainwashed,\u201d When she was first questioned about her, her father replied that she was her mother. \u201cShe\u2019s not that kind of girl. They brainwashed her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She also revealed to her father how she had lied about wanting money to escape in the 2015 interview. She claimed that she wanted to escape from being forced into marriage. He told her he warned her she could be pushed to marry when she arrived in Syria.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In her recent interview, she stated that she was held in a locked house for unmarried mothers and children when she arrived in Syria.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe slept in very unsanitary places. I\u2019ve never seen that kind of filthiness in my life, like there was 100 women and twice as much kids, running around, too much noise, filthy beds,\u201d She said it in the interview.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIt\u2019s like a system that makes you almost go crazy to force yourself to get married because that\u2019s the only way out,\u201d She made the observation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">One way to escape was to marry an ISIS fighter. She did this and had her first child. She reportedly claimed that she divorced the third man after she lost two of her husbands to combat injuries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">She ran from Syria&#8217;s Enclaves in early 2019 and ended up in another prison camp.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">However, she was a successful entrepreneur in the past. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2023\/jan\/09\/hoda-muthana-alabama-woman-islamic-state-hopes-return-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Posted<\/a> Positively about ISIS on Social Media.
