Hoda Muthana, ISIS bride. Does she return to the United States?

We are told, not asked, but told to forgive and love our enemies.

What is the right thing to do with Hoda Muthana, the ISIS bride in Syria who now wants to return to America?

USA MacPaper - Montgomery Advertiser: Should Alabama ISIS bride Hoda Muthana be allowed to return home?

An American woman who traveled to the battlefields of Syria and married and had a child with an Islamic State fighter wants to come home and face the U.S. justice system, her family's Florida-based lawyer told USA TODAY.

Hoda Muthana left Hoover, Alabama to join the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, four years ago at age 19. In Syria, she called for Americans to be attacked, and she spread the group's propaganda online.

LifeZette: Hoda Muthana "okay" with beheadings.

[Muthana] "knew about" and was "OK with ISIS beheadings."

She married three different jihadi fighters while in the Middle East. Her first two husbands, one an Australian jihadist and the other a Tunisian fighter, were killed. The third marriage to a Syrian fighter was reportedly “brief.”

The Feral Irishman: Alabama Woman Who Joined ISIS Wants To Come Home.

This story reminds me of an old Cherokee proverb where a young boy picks up a snake and later cries and moans when the snake bites him. The snake's simple reply to the boy was "well, you knew I was a snake when you picked me up".

There are those on The Left who believe Hoda Muthana is sincere and she should be allowed to return to the U.S. These same individuals on The Left believe, without a shred of proof, that President Donald Trump is a Russian agent. If you don't realize the hypocrisy here, I won't point it out because you will never realize it or admit it. You have pledged your political bias to overrule rational thought.

In my heart, I have forgiven those who have hurt me. In my heart, I do love those who have wronged me. The Bible teaches us to "love our enemies." The Bible does not say we have to have lunch with, or have coffee with, our enemies. I can love those who have wronged me from a distance. I don't need to interact with them and nowhere in the Bible are we told to do this.

Bible.ca: 2 John; 7-11.

However, John (as with Paul) warns that abiding with these deceivers will cause them to "lose those things we worked for." (2 John 8)

To "receive him into your house" shows a willingness to associate with a desire to be a companion with them and share in their false doctrine - this God forbids lest we approve of what they teach.

I cannot greet a person as a Christian who is not a Christian nor should I condone their false doctrine.

So what do we do about Hoda Muthana? My opinion: We collectively, in our hearts, forgive her. We have to, otherwise, those of us who are Christians cannot honor what our Lord tells us we must do.

Hoda Muthana can remain in Syria. Or, she can reside in any other country that will accept her. But the U.S. should reject any notion of permitting her back into our country.

Input, thought, comments - please. Thank you.

UPDATE - MSN: State Department declares Hoda Muthana won't be allowed back to U.S.

President Donald Trump is taking credit for the State Department's announcement Wednesday that an Alabama woman who joined the Islamic State group in Syria will not be allowed to re-enter the U.S.

Trump tweets: "I have instructed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and he fully agrees, not to allow Hoda Muthana back into the Country!"

Pompeo announced on Wednesday that Muthana won't be allowed to enter the country with her toddler son because she is not an American citizen, a claim that was challenged by her lawyer.

Muthana is now in a refugee camp in Syria along with others who fled the Islamic State, and says she made a mistake in joining the group.

Pompeo said she has no "legal basis" to claim American citizenship. But her lawyer says the administration's position is based on a "complicated" interpretation of immigration law.

Good! Good for the State Department, President Trump and Pompeo. It's also good to hear Muthana realizes she "made a mistake" aligning herself with ISIS. She may even mean that, I think she does. But...decisions have consequences. The problem here, and also the problem within generalized Liberalism is there are too many people who believe that decisions shouldn't have consequences.

She knew what she was getting into. She played an active role in "hate and harm America." Her legal representation's claim of the "complicated" interpretation of immigration law? We can cut to the chase and call it exactly what it is, a legalese appeal to "Roll out the red carpet and welcome mat for terrorist sympathizers to live in America." No, it doesn't work that way.

We often don't appreciate what we have until we no longer have it. A conscious choice is made to abandon something that is either taken for granted or unappreciated. Until it's gone. Then, it's too late.
