While nations are fretting about what to do about the terrorist group Islamic State (IS) and how to deal with citizens who went to the Middle East to join, one mother has enacted her own solution.  She went to Syria and got her daughter back from the terrorist louse the girl had married.

Two months ago, “Monique” told Dutch television her story – that her daughter had been in contact with a Dutch-Turkish terrorist, Omar Yilmaz, and fell in love with him.  “She saw him as a Robin Hood” sort of character, according to Monique.  In February, the girl traveled to Syria.

Monique went to Turkey last month and then on to capital of the self-purported caliphate, Raqqa, Syria.  She got her daughter, and took the 19-year old north across the border to Turkey.  The Dutch government is not going into details, but it’s believed that the girl and her heroic mother could be back in the Netherlands in a week.

Omar claims the girl is his “ex-wife”, and the two had already gone their separate ways.  Kind of like “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure”, when Pee Wee Herman fell off of his bike and said, “I meant to do that”.

But as hilarious as the reaction of a jilted jihadist might be, the problem of young people being seduced by IS propaganda is real.  Monique’s daughter is one of several girls to fall for it and travel to the Middle East to becomes wives of militants.  Two Austrian girls, aged 15 and 17, went to Syria in April and one was reported killed.
