[IsraelTimes] A top federal appeals court has upheld the terrorism conviction of the wife of a German-born rapper who joined the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
terror group in Syria and likely died in an Arclight airstrike
 ...KABOOM! ...
, authorities say.
In a decision from March 9, the Federal Court of Justice upheld the conviction of the woman, Omaima A.,
...Omaima Abdi, who had quietly returned with her children to Germany by 2016, describing herself on LinkedIn as a translator and event coordinator. She was only busted when an Arab journalist looked through a smartphone she’d left behind in Syria and found 36 gigabytes of photos, chats, and documents from her life in the ISIS caliphate in Syria... for membership in a terrorist organization as well as charges of failing to properly care for her children, weapons offenses and aiding in the enslavement of a Yazidi girl.
In its decision, the Karlsruhe-based court said it had found no legal errors were made by the Hamburg state court in its October conviction of the woman, who was 36 at the time. She was given a three-and-a-half-year prison sentence.
The Hamburg-born woman of Tunisian heritage, whose last name hasn’t been provided in line with German privacy laws, followed her first husband to Syria in 2015 and lived in the Islamic State stronghold of Raqqa with their three children, according to the court.
After her husband
... Nader Hadra, a hotshot in German Salafi circles... was killed during fighting in 2015, she married his friend, German rapper Denis Cuspert,
... known to his ISIS friends as Abu Talha al-Almani, he was available for marriage because his previous wife, former FBI translator Daniela Green, who stupidly fell for that smooth talking specimen of love jihad before coming to her senses, finding prison in America better than staying in the caliphate with that man... who went by the stage name Deso Dogg before giving up performing and joining IS himself.
The court found she used social media and email to promote life in the "caliphate" and encouraged other women from Germany to move to the territory that had been captured by the Islamic State. In addition to weapons training, she raised her children according to Islamic State ideology and subjected them to danger by keeping them in an area targeted by airstrikes, the court said.
She also took a 13-year-old Yazidi girl as her "slave" and used her to do housework.
Her second husband, Cuspert, who toured in the US in 2006, lent his voice to record anthems for the jihadists to use in recruiting videos they circulated online.
The US government designated him a "global terrorist" and the Pentagon initially said in 2015 that Cuspert was killed in an airstrike, but withdrew the claim the following year.
