Jessica Bowie was charged with attempting to provide material support to a terrorist organization. In messages with FBI sources, Bowie said she wanted to target "enemies of God." Bowie, who converted to Islam five years ago, wrote that she had selected her target because these were the people writing laws and that was against the "commandments of Allah."
