Why are so many posters saying she's our problem and should face justice in Britain?
This girl has committed crimes against the Syrian people. She was part of an invasive foreign faction that terrorised, murdered and tortured Syrians. THEY have the first right to accuse her and punish, not us.
To assume otherwise is deeply arrogant and stinks of an old imperialist mindset that somehow, because Begum is "one of ours", she must only face a British court and British charges.
Imagine a situation where civil war breaks out in Britain, and an internationalist hard right movement decide to use the opportunity to carve out a supremacist "state" in Cumbria.
The fighters in this movement torture and execute Cumbrians for resisting, cut the heads off British Asian and Black people, take teenage girls in Carlisle as sex slaves, all broadcast on the internet, and a group of three teenage girls in the US, obsessed with white power, come to Britain to live in this fledgling supremacist state because they think it is all so marvelous. They marry the supremacist fighters, they engage in the repression and abuse of local Cumbrian women, they glance at severed heads without concern.
Then the whole thing collapses, and one of them is left alive in a camp with a sob story. Would YOU as a Brit accept the US saying she should return to America and face terrorism charges there? When hundreds of BME Brits have been slaughtered? When hundreds of British girls have been raped and abused? When an entire region of the UK has been terrorised; homes, shops, facilities, hospitals stolen and destroyed?
Like fuck you would.
Give the Syrian people the same agency as you would demand for yourself in such circumstances. Otherwise, go back to the 19th century. You fit better there.
