British IS girl "wants to return to Britain"

Said she has no regrets;
Says she's seen severed heads in bins but it didn't faze her.
Says living with IS lived up to her expectations.
Now she wants to come home to Britain as she's 9 months pregnant.

Sounds an ideal member of any sane society

If she's unfazed seeing beheaded heads in bins then she will have no qualms strapping a bomb to herself and blowing up her nearest shopping centre.

She will raise her child in the same ideology, ISIS brides to breed ISIS fighters.

She has said she wished she were still there, has no regrets.

The fight isn't over for her, she will continue it on our soil.

Google "Al-Khansaa brigade".

These women weren't passive bystanders.

sagradafamiliar · 14/02/2019 14:49

That's if she's not killed before then. She's risking her life just engaging with the British press, although she's been careful to show IS in a 'good light'- useful bit of propaganda for them- having fled and now announcing she wants to return home. She's in an unbelievably dangerous position.

You don't need to quote other bits of the interview to me, moo. I read it
sorry, I assumed you hadn't read it as you said with the no regret quote she may have been talking about the camp she was in when she obviously wasn't

Hope she isn’t allowed back absolutely appalling to think she might be

theworldistoosmall · 14/02/2019 14:50

She was in a dangerous position the moment she stepped foot in the country.

shiveringtimber · 14/02/2019 14:52

She's probably being sent back to recruit others. No way should she be allowed back.

Tiscold · 14/02/2019 14:54

Ah yes we're just as bad as isis by saying let a terrorist scumbag rot.

Since declaring its caliphate in June 2014, the self-proclaimed Islamic State has conducted or inspired more than 140 terrorist attacks in 29 countries other than Iraq and Syria, where its carnage has taken a much deadlier toll. Those attacks have killed at least 2,043 people and injured thousands more.

Isis has killed, maimed, butchered thousands and displaced millions of innocent people. Women and young girls raped for their enjoyment. People sold as slaves.

So fucking excuse me if i don't want a women who supported that cause and still does living in the same country as me. Quite simply if it wasn't for the baby i would be happily calling for her to be bombed to hell, and praying she suffers as it happens

Damn, maybe i could join the isis school of corrections. I'm sure they will be so kind and caring as they try change my ways.

I think social services should offer her newborn a safe adoptive home in the UK, but not her. Nothing for her. If her primary concern is the survival of her baby then she would be happy to see her child removed at birth and brought to the UK. How can she plead refuge in a country for herself when she's willingly supported IS who are hellbent on the UK's demise in every way? Her unborn child sadly cannot choose the birth mother but shouldn't suffer the consequences of her twisted choices.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 14/02/2019 15:06

What if she has some sort of terrorist agenda?

I'm really surprised that her husband is allowing her to return. Perhaps there is more going on than she is admitting.

TheInnerVoice · 14/02/2019 15:06

And by saying she’s not a silly school girl any more she’s acknowledging that she knows exactly what she’s saying and supporting.

As for the posters who said upthread that I was unreasonable for suggesting that if she were allowed to keep the baby no-one would want them involved with their own children, can you imagine a thread on here: “my child has just started in reception and in their class is a child whose parent was apparently in Syria as an isis fighter/bride . And now this child is suggesting mine come over for a play date. Wwyd?”

I can guarantee not one poster would suggest letting your child go over there. By the time that child is five years old they will have been indoctrinated into the ideology and even if they’re obviously too young to know what it’s all about, I wouldn’t want my own children anywhere near that. So the only solution must be for the baby to be removed and for the mother to never be allowed any contact ever again.

Mymycherrypie · 14/02/2019 15:06

She did cause death by neglect. It’s not the same as refugees who have such conditions inflicted on them and have their children die. She was on the team of those doing the inflicting. She chose those conditions for her children. Her victims did not.

M3lon · 14/02/2019 15:07

I'm surprised for the vehement hatred directed towards someone who did indeed make a shitty decision...but did it as a child...and has since lost two of her own children, and regardless of her beliefs is trying to do better for the third.

Assuming she has no other nationality, bring her back, put her in prison and let her family raise the baby.

Actually, to the few people shouting racism, does that mean you think that western caucasian people would not condemn somebody who joined a very far right group and committed acts of terrorism?

As you expect, the Daily Mail are somewhat unsympathetic to the delightful Ms Begum.

They don’t always get it wrong....

feelingverylazytoday · 14/02/2019 15:08

I do feel sorry for the loss of her two children (if it's true) , as I would for any bereaved parent. It was still her choice to bring children into the world in those circumstances though. She could have stayed in Britain and enjoyed the full benefits of British citizenship for herself and any potential children but she rejected that in favour of a murderous regime.

TheInnerVoice · 14/02/2019 15:10

I'm really surprised that her husband is allowing her to return. Perhaps there is more going on than she is admitting. I suspect that the husband’s surrender was probably staged and he is currently there continuing to fight the good fight. He needs his wife to return to Britain with her child because there job is to produce healthy children to continue the cause. She’s already lost two children so her worth is becoming less, so she needs to come to the UK to ensure this child is healthy and more importantly is brought up in the name of the cause and can radicalise others in the uk as it grows up.

I suspect theres a hole plan behind it and that neither of them were running away at all.

Tinkobell · 14/02/2019 15:11

This is just so messed up. I wonder if she shouts
"Death to the West!......oh err, but before that do you mind just paying for my flight back to Heathrow and err, any chance of social services houses and errr overdue dental and some free childcare?" 😂

SchadenfreudePersonified · 14/02/2019 15:11

That's what worries me InnerVoice

arsefeatures · 14/02/2019 15:12

I couldn't care less even if she did say she was 'repentant". Which doubtless would be a lie...

She made her choice and that was to offer succour and support to those fighting for their caliphate. Which in reality amounted to drowning people in bleach, burning people alive in metal cages and slitting throats.

We didn't allow Asia Bibi in, why on Earth would we even consider this one ?

Let her rot.

She was on the team of those doing the inflicting. She chose those conditions for her children.

She didn’t deliberately neglect her children so that they starved to death, though. They died (she says) from illnesses exacerbated by malnutrition, in a war zone where the hospitals didn’t have the necessary medicines.

I think what she’s done, and what she’s supported, is bad enough all by itself without having to also suggest that she neglected to feed her children. I can believe that she mourned them terribly and really wants the current baby to live, and also that she has a dangerous, awful worldview about all the people who suffered at IS’s hands.

Mymycherrypie · 14/02/2019 15:15

Yeah but she did though. Why reach out now and not then when her children were dying. She’s still alive I see. Enough food for her 👍🏻
