Happy Monday!
And “Aloha Snackbar” to the ‘lucky’ couple.
A drone strike in Syria killed a married American couple who’d pledged allegiance to the Islamic State terror group and worked to recruit new jihadis overseas and online, ISIS-linked social media accounts revealed on Saturday.
The husband and wife were identified as Abu Issa Al-Amriki and Umm Issa Al-Amrikiah. They did not reveal their birth names. The terror group frequently uses the name “Al-Amriki” to refer to Americans.
The drone strike took place in late-April, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute’s Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor.
Analysts say the wife was especially eager to make the terror group seem appealing to women. One post appeared to show her holding a suicide belt, claiming she hoped she could use it herself to kill “infidels.”….

We should stop referring to people who join ISIS as Americans. When you hear “American” you immediately think of fair skinned, blonde hair blue eyed people, instead of Mooselum-Americans. They want to pledge allegiance to a terrorist organization, they should be reported by that association. Hellfire missiles are expensive, but it’s money well spent.
What a tragic story along the lines of Romeo and Juliet. Just like that bright eyed young couple who settled in San Bernardino, CA and then lost their lives in such an unfair fashion. I think of this classic as the theme song for this pair of ‘patriotic’ American. May this pair of human pond scum rot in the same pit as their San Bernardino brethren. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__VQX2Xn7tI
And I echo deaves1 sentiments on making sure more of these ‘love stories’ end in a blaze of Hellfire missles.
