AIBU to think that the IS bride would never have been allowed the freedoms she has, unless they have a grander plan?

I just find it all a bit suspicious.
She looks dopey or doped.
Her interview was very rehearsed.
They want to get her back here for nefarious reasons.
They would not have allowed her to speak to press.
She is a willing accomplice in a grander plan?

Calling a woman who's been groomed, likely sexually abused (and definitely consummated a marriage before 16) and had her children die before her eyes a thick bitch is lacking in empathy.

Tbh I will save my empathy for the family and friends of those that ISIS murdered thanks.

Agree whatwouldyou. Well said.
Empathy is not limited Notagain - it can be felt for all who have suffered as a result of this atrocity.

Well aware of that thanks Hmm

She was a child who was groomed who has undergone an utterly horrific traumatic experience, including deaths of two children before she was EIGHTEEN. She is not likely to be able to give slick interviews that are engineered to evoke your sympathy. There is no conspiracy. She is not okay. I'm with you Seline. The masses baying for blood are just awful, including all you lot above.

She's 19 now. She still supports IS, she has no regrets over her decisions, and shows no remorse. She would have been full of joy as an 18 tonne truck ran over babies on Nice seafront, and as teenage girls were blown to pieces in Manchester. She saw severed heads in the bin and "it didn't faze me, because they were enemies of Islam".

FUCK HER! And those of you with sympathy for her, imagine your own child as a baby going under the wheels of a truck in front of you, and imagine her celebrating back at base camp.

FFS, what's wrong with you people!

Tbh I will save my empathy for the family and friends of those that ISIS murdered thanks this. While at 15 l wasn't exactly brilliant- never would l have thought it a good idea to travel across the world to join as bloody thirsty torturing terrorist group.

To all those saying that she is just a kid and should be allowed to come back to the UK, I ask a simple question. Would you want her to be living next door to you? Would you want her child to go to the same school with your children. She hates Britain, she hates everything the West stands for and as for the statement that she is only one person and can’t do any harm, tell that to the parents of the children murdered in Manchester or the PC at the Houses of Parliament. They were only one person and both of them were known to the security services and police. She should stay were she is and rot.

Hubbleisback · 17/02/2019 22:04

Does that not suggest to you that she is mentally ill?

Seline · 17/02/2019 22:04

She doesn't pose a risk. There is no way that, if allowed back in, she will ever be alone long enough to plan and carry out an attack.

derxa · 17/02/2019 22:04

I don't know what to believe now.

GoGoGadgetGin · 17/02/2019 22:05

Hubble no not really

GoGoGadgetGin · 17/02/2019 22:08

Watching BBC news and can't believe the family's wants! The level of expectation and entitlement is ridiculously crass.

Justanotherlurker · 17/02/2019 22:09

She doesn't pose a risk.

You know more than MI6?

alliwantisagoodnightssleep · 17/02/2019 22:11

Seline. Are you suggesting that we keep her under house arrest or have her under 24 hour surveillance. That is ludicrous we don’t have the resources to do that. No one forced her on that plane, she herself said she has no regrets and quite frankly I will keep my sympathy for the victims of her disgusting little religious cult.

GoGoGadgetGin · 17/02/2019 22:12

Well thank fuck! She doesn't pose a risk on what authority do you have that? Ooo she said it?? Of course we should trust her!

crazycatgal · 17/02/2019 22:14

@Seline Do you think that this country has the resources to follow dangerous would-be terrorists 24/7?

Attacks happen because of people slipping through the cracks. Why would anyone want to risk even more people being killed?

SchadenfreudePersonified · 17/02/2019 22:15

The baby's father was/is Dutch apparently - why isn''t she trying to get into Holland and she can stop with her husband's family?

NotAgainSilly · 17/02/2019 22:15

She doesn't pose a risk

Best offer the security services your insight. I bet they would love to know how you can be so sure Hmm

OhDearGodLookAtThisMess · 17/02/2019 22:18

To all those saying that she is just a kid and should be allowed to come back to the UK
It's IRRELEVANT whether we think she "should" or should not be allowed. International law says no one can be stateless. She is British, like it or not, and therefore we HAVE to allow her back.
I don't want her here, of course I don't. And if I had any choice, I wouldn't want the likes of Ian Huntley, Fred West, the Moors murderers or the Kray twins (when they were alive) here either. But they're ALL British, and as such we have no choice. They're the underbelly or our society, like it or not, and we have to deal with it.

Ghanagirl · 17/02/2019 22:18

@Sureyouwill you’re making up rubbish at least get facts straight it’s her third child her other two died.

Mindfullness · 17/02/2019 22:22

If she is allowed back in the uk there will be an absolute cry. I certainly do not think she deserves to have her child under the NHS and no doubt she will be housed for free and live here for free. Let her rot in the refugee camp where she belongs, she is vile.

Seline · 17/02/2019 22:23

When will she ever be in a position to attack anyone? Whether she would pose a risk unmonitored is another question entirely. But I highly doubt she would be able to get the resources to plan one and commit one when she's known.

It's terrorists you don't know that are concerning.

HaudYerWheeshtYaWeeBellend · 17/02/2019 22:24

I have no empathy, sympathy or compassion for her, she’s an adult who made her choices, she was asked today if she was aware of the beheading of British citizens, she told the reporter she was aware and she was starting her religion... and stated she was OK with that...

Now just let that sink in for a minute...

Contraceptionismyfriend · 17/02/2019 22:24

She wasn't groomed. She was a stupid twat who thought she had the balls to play with the big boys.

Ahh didums bad things happened to her when she joined one of the most brutal and horrific terrorist organisations of the 21st century.

Allow me to play the worlds saddest song on the worlds smallest violin.

SilviaSalmon · 17/02/2019 22:33

Thanks @Seline, I’ll sleep easy in my bed now that you have confirmed that. Hmm
