For Muslims in the US, Islamic extremist groups are the place to turn, though. They often feel isolated out of place due to society's reactions to them. That is what opens the door to radicalization. They don't have to be as active in seeking them out as you might think. The travel aspect makes it a bit different, agreed on that, but the process of radicalization by groups like ISIS works is the same.

Do you know she took part in that? Do you know those ISIS brides did that willingly? Were they threatened with death or torture if they did not do those things? Is it possible that ISIS brides are also enslaved and forced into marriages they do not want to be a part of?
