Virginia Woman Arrested For Helping ISIS

Luke 21:9-10: [Jesus said] "When you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away." Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom."

A Virginia woman is under arrest after she lied to authorities about her connections to ISIS.

Heather Elizabeth Coffman, 29, has been a big supporter of the terrorist group on social media and worked to help those in the United States connect with the group.

The FBI says that Coffman told an undercover agent that she could help them join the terrorist group.  She claimed that she had a husband who traveled to Turkey to meet with ISIS agents that could get him to the front lines in Syria.  She then claimed the “husband” left her and never made the move.

Coffman had come to the FBI’s attention because of her emphatic postings supporting ISIS on Facebook.

The FBI says Coffman “is suspected of conspiring and attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) a foreign terrorist organization.”

“As far as I know, she hasn’t traveled anywhere,” Mark Henry Schmidt, Coffman’s attorney, told The Washington Post. “Her connections with the outside world would be on the Internet. I imagine you can get into trouble on the Internet, but I imagine you can also think a lot more’s going on than really is. If nothing else, this is certainly a cautionary tale about the Internet.”
