Meanwhile:
STARKVILLE,
Miss. — She was a cheerleader, an honor student, the daughter of a
police officer and a member of the high school homecoming court who
wanted to be a doctor.
He
was a quiet but easygoing psychology student. His father is a
well-known Muslim patriarch here, whose personable air and habit of
sharing food with friends and strangers made him seem like a walking
advertisement for Islam as a religion of tolerance and peace.
Today,
the young woman, Jaelyn Young, 19, and the young man, her fiancé,
Muhammad Dakhlalla, 22, are in federal custody, arrested on suspicion of
trying to travel from Mississippi to Syria to join the Islamic State.
So what if we just let all these people who want to go to ISIS just - go? Just put them on a plane, let them take their chances. Get raped, get killed? And keep the aid workers here. Let the whole damn place implode.
It's a delightful image.
But then we wouldn't be the country we say we are, would we?
