Recently, 3 girls from Denver (14, 15, and 17) decided they wanted to join ISIS and were caught after flying to Germany while on their way to Turkey. In September, several college students signed a petition to urge President Obama to support ISIS. In my opinion, I think everyone involved are highly uneducated and we as Americans have also failed to instill pride in our own country if they feel they need to support a group like ISIS in order to gain comradery (which is what some believe). However, I also think that if they do manage to give support or join ISIS, they should have to live with their mistake and not get any help from the US Government.

What we have is a bored youth. Very few chores, no work ethic (that is ethical) and everyone wants to be the next Kelly Clarkson. So now like Jane Fonda, they imagine a better place to be but just like us all, they find there are no panaceas and quick fixes. Like the rest of, we become jaded and sardonic and blaming everyone else for our foibles.
There needs to be clarity and leadership out of our elected officials. All this malaise with the younger generation (rich and poor) and the media dictating how we live while there own life is so corrupt.

I say let them join ISIS. If they're stupid enough to join an organization that is enslaving non-Muslims and killing fellow Muslims in order to create their twisted version of a caliphate then let Darwinism run it's course. Oh and 3 girls from America, yeah I'm pretty sure that ISIS will treat them with the utmost of respect. I mean just because they are making prostitutes out of the Yazidi women and girls after they kill their men doesn't mean that they would do worse to three American girls.
This is what happens when you water down American History so you don't offend anyone and when you allow your kids to do whatever they want when they are children.

I believe it's shameful. for one we have been fighting them extremists for years and years and we lost many good men and women's lives in defending our way of life and fighting this horrible evil force then you have somebody that willing to join them or support them instead of fighting them and support this nation and what it stands for!!
what really bothers me about this are the Americans that go overseas to support such a group or organization then they get kidnapped, put under the blade and then our Soldiers have to go and get them and risk a good peoples lives to get somebody's that chose to be there with them suckers to pull him/her out of their hands!!? it's gets on nerves, they should just burn like the rest of them. sorry

Where did they get the money to travel to Germany prior to being caught? I don't think that there are enough people in this country who take the ISIS threat seriously. This is not one of those things that will just go away because we want it to go away.

I'm not one for politics. I say you make a statement, revoke their citizenship and give them to a foreign jail in the Middle East, or to ISIS. After a year of being raped, starving, and treated like crap, they'll be like those Croatian teens and want to come back home. They will no longer be Americans, so that begging and pleading by their parents will fall on deaf ears. We are at war with terror, and they want to help the opposition. That is treason.

No I wouldn't revoke their citizenship. As for their pleading parents, if they had raised them correctly in the first place, they wouldn't filled their heads with the notion to go overseas to help them. They made their choice and now have to live with that choice. The good, the bad, and the ugly of that choice. People in general need to understand that ISIS/ISIL want along with several other organization in the Middle East don't give a crap about the welfare of their love one. All they are is pawns, in their game to destroy Isreal, the U.S., and whoever else supports Isreal and others. Enough Said.

You. Any aleays blame the parents. Sometimes kids just do their own thing. My dad told me, don't get that girl pregnant. And I did at 16. And it was one of my greatest mistakes. My mom said, don't join the army; but I did. And I'm not dead or in prison, so again a great mistake. I was raised by my grandparents because of my wicked ways. They were preachers. I did my own thing despite the great parenting and counsel I was given. Amidst my biggest mistake, I remember having this little angel on my shoulder saying, don't pull that trigger. I ran away from my past to find my future. I haven't returned. If these kids think this is their future, let them live with it for the rest of their lives. They may have been given good counsel and chose to disobey. They must suffer their circumstances.

I'll help pay their way over there ;) Let them find out what they are getting into, they need a father or a mother to teach them what is right and wrong. Let 'em go....they'll learn all sorts of new things.

Bingo. Let them go. See how far they get in a religious civil war in an unfamiliar area, unable to speak any of the local languages. Just let them go to Syria, it would be punishment enough.

They made their choice. Whatever the law of the land says. IF they get sent back here (doubtful), they should be tried for treason

They are no longer Americans, they have sworn allegiance to the Caliphate, same with those joining Peshmerga
