A good article on just what these girls walked into can be found here....

...as linked by KWG in the Persecution of Jews thread.

All three of those girls were the highly intelligent children of privilege, on track to become doctors and the like.

A good take from a BBC commentator; apparently on some 'net websites the ISIS guys are portrayed as cooler than rock stars, tougher than any street gang, an fighting on God's side.

IIRC the news report said two of these girls spoke Bengali, and the other Amaharic. Means two of 'em are most likely Bangladeshi/Indian and the third Ethiopian. From what I understand, the tribe-conscious Arabs as a group hold all these other folks in contempt.

Their future doesn't look pretty.
