The government said Canadians who joined ISIS would face the 'full force' of the law, but not a single woman who lived under ISIS has yet been convicted.

Dura Ahmed sounds like a lovely person:

"[I was studying] English and Middle Eastern studies. I didn’t know anything about ISIS or anything. [...] I didn’t really watch the news. No one liked to talk about it. I was really oblivious to what was going on. In the end I said fine, if I don’t like it, I’ll come back." [...]

So to Raqqa, ISIS’ de-facto capital, she came in 2014. What she saw, she liked. “It was an easy life. It was a city. It was stable,” she said. “You’re there and you’re eating Pringles and Twix bars." [...] "Well, having slaves is part of Sharia,” she finally ventured. “I believe in Sharia."

Did she regret coming to Syria, I asked, wondering if she felt disillusioned with the Islamic State [...] “No. I had my kids [t]here,” she replied.

Sounds like a fanatical woman ripe to be used for a terrorist plot.
