Shanks said no Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) Although I was no angel in my late teens and at times was a complete and utter arse, I paid the price for my behaviour and my life was moulded by my youthful actions. so whereas I have a bit of sympathy for her naivety, she has so far shown no contrition. Until she does I can see no reason, pregnant or not, for allowing her into the UK. Edited February 14, 2019 by The Frenchman Returns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Dunphy Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Whilst I agree she only wants to come back for the healthcare she and her unborn child, she could prove to be useful for intelligence purposes. Once she was interrogated, she should face a jail term and have the child taken off her. Does she seem like a good role model for a child growing up? I don’t think so. Give the child a chance at a life free from the baggage it’s mother will bring. No remorse? No forgiveness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should she be treated as a victim, a minor who was groomed into radicalism, or as an enemy? She should as all returning UK citizens who joined Isis be treated foremost as a criminal. They were part of a murderous killing cult . And we exported these murderers. The Syrian people sufferered and still suffer from their terror which was a form of real evil. We owe it to them to serve justice. It's the least we can do. In this particular case I'd hope we can turn this kid around. A 15 year old in that environment didn't stand a chance. As for any children born to UK citizens some of them will already be radicalized and will have been traumatised. On a wider note our efforts should be to rebuild and help the people of that region. There is still the original issue of Assad. And many other players . The whole thing reeked imo. But I've posted plenty on that. Anyway my fear is that stories like this direct people's anger at a young lassie(somewhat deserved) and the real story is forgotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redjambo Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Despite me being a liberal by most definitions of the term, I say No too. She made her choice. She appears to be showing no remorse. I also wouldn't be happy about having someone in this country going around who isn't fazed when she sees severed heads in a bin. We also have to show folk in the future that you must be responsible for your actions. If you decide to feck off to another country and live among and support mass murderers then you can't expect us to welcome you back. Or, if we do, you will 100% be held accountable for your crimes.

But for someone to show no regret, in fact the opposite four years later, they can **** right off. Nobody will be able to determine her intentions if she was to return. Im in London until Sunday so if they could please hold off until then I’d appreciate it. more or less where I am. What I have seen is she has no remorse at all and simply wants to come back for the health care for her unborn child.

The European Court won't be helping her as of next month. So, if she returns, she should be arrested in line with anti-terror legislation. She's a citizen of the U.K., regardless of my thoughts on her. She should be tried, and, if proven, convicted subject to our laws. She should be tried in Syria or wherever else she plied her terrorist trade. Not for running away from him in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusk_Till_Dawn Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Don’y really know what I think about this but i’m leaning towards handing her over to the Syrian government.

Not for running away from him in the UK. She committed a criminal offence in UK law by going to Syria to support a proscribed group. She may have committed criminal offences in international law. It is entirely appropriate to prosecute her in the UK. The trouble would come via the extremists in the human rights lobby, who would be all over this like a rash. Demands for her to be bailed. Protests at any custodial sentence, etc. In an ideal world she could be allowed back in and interned without trial while she is deradicalised beyond any possible risk and/or re-radicalisation. Child removed to care without any possibility of being returned. Aint gonna happen of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymour M Hersh Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Just now, Barack said: Running away from whom? The Dutch husband? He's been captured by all accounts. It's fairly apparent she's wanting to use the NHS and it's benefits, under her legal rights as a citizen. Do I agree with that...of course not. However, I bear no ill-will to her unborn child. I think that matter will be taken out of her hands anyway, by the Courts & Social Services. She's not guaranteed to return. Though, I suspect she will. The Netherlands might want to try her, with her being married to the Dutch bloke. They might even want to take the child into care themselves. Who knows. So, there's not much point getting worked up about her for now, until the Government decide one way or another. My view, is straightforward on it if she does. Sorry that was running away from home.

fabienleclerq Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Iirc those who went to fight with Isis had their citizenship removed (i.e the men) so why are the woman who basically facilitate the fighting any different? I think if she had any remorse there could be a case for letting her return. She doesn't and basically if Isis weren't losing she wouldn't be wanting back home. I feel for her kid but unless it's adopted then it will grow up and more than likely share her values and opinions of the UK/Christians or whatever else she hates. She should be telt to **** right off and made an example of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
