After Her Husband Joined ISIS, She Fought Islamic Extremism

For Tania Joya, who was raised Muslim in London, it was a long journey to life in the United States.

“I wanted to be in America, but my husband … thought that was bad for my religion and he thought that I would teach my children the wrong values,” recalls Joya. “So he took us to Syria.”

After her husband became an ISIS fighter, Joya worked with U.S. officials, sharing information from her husband. Now she's working against violent extremism. Read the interview, pasted below, or listen on the podcast:
