Mississippi Woman Tries To Join ISIS, Gets Met With Immediate Patriotic Justice According to reports, a former Mississippi State University student has just been sentenced to 12 years in prison for attempting to join the Islamic State last summer. 20-year-old Jaelyn Delshaun Young was raised in Vicksburg, Mississippi. She was arrested on August 8, 2015, at an airport near Columbus with her boyfriend, Muhammad Oda Dakhlalla. The couple was planning to travel to Syria under the guise of a honeymoon. Upon arrival, they hoped to join the radical Islamic terrorist organization. Earlier this year, Young pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring to provide material support to a terrorist organization. Investigators found evidence of online communications between the woman and ISIS recruiters in the Middle East. The conversations included efforts to arrange travel into Syria for herself and Dakhlalla. Investigators believe Young was radicalized when she was a student at Mississippi State. Her mother and father, a police officer in Vicksburg, pleaded with U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock for leniency. The judge did not go too easy on her, however. Young could have received up to 20 years in prison, but after listening to her parents pleas, he handed down a 12-year sentence instead. Dakhlalla, who pleaded guilty to similar charges, will be sentenced in two weeks. This is just one frightening example of the Islamic State groups efforts to actively recruit young people all over the world through social media.
