Islam draws teenaged girl to Suicide Bombing
According to the New York Times, one of the 16-year old girls arrested on immigration charges in New York (and described
by federal agents as a would-be suicide bomber) was increasingly Drawn to Islam.

why Palestinian kids grow up to be genocide bombers. Killings of others through an act of suicide is what is drilled into
their minds since childhood. Photo Courtesy: Palestinian Facts _____________________________
For years, the father said, he watched as his daughter, now 16, became more and more drawn to the family’s Muslim
religion. At 14, she began wearing a full-length veil and teaching religion classes at mosques around the city.
A year ago, she withdrew from her Manhattan high school because, a school official said, she felt uncomfortable with
typical teenage banter. She told her family she wanted to go to an Islamic all-girls school, and when they could not
afford to send her, she chose to study at home.
The father, a Bangladeshi watch salesman who describes himself as far more devoted to American education than to prayer
after 13 years as an immigrant illegally in the United States, said he pushed for his daughter to return to public school.
Then last fall, the daughter he also describes as loving Bollywood soap operas and shopping with girlfriends startled him
and her mother by seeking their approval to marry a young American Muslim man they had never met and whom she barely knew.
The father refused the marriage overtures, which were made by the young man’s father in a call from Michigan.
A few months later, when the teenager stayed out overnight for the first time, the father, fearing an elopement, went to
the police for help.
It is a decision he regrets deeply. His daughter and another 16-year-old girl are now described by the government as
would-be suicide bombers and are being held in a detention center for illegal immigrants in Pennsylvania. He is sure that
his visit to the police set off the F.B.I. investigation that led to a chilling assertion, in a government document, that
the girls are “an imminent threat to the security of the United States based on evidence that they plan to be suicide
bombers.” Family and friends call that absurd.
