Shamima Begum does not deserve to be allowed back into the U.K. under any conditions. If she were so allowed, by having agreed to a “deradicalisation” program, and then feigning a change of heart, which apparently would give her the right to be re-integrated into society, she would escape suitable punishment for her treasonous activities, in lending aid and comfort to ISIS. Had ISIS held onto its territory, she would, having “no regrets,” be living in ISIS territory still.
Instead of returning to the U.K., let her share the fate of other Islamic State women who have been captured, and are now in Syrian prisons. It’s not a pleasant ending. But why should her ending be pleasant? Why should it not be miserable?
There will be more Islamic State branches attempting in the future to seize territory. One, or a few, might temporarily succeed. And when they do, there will be other impressionable Muslims leaving Western Europe and North America to join them. Those that become disenchanted immediately, within a few weeks, might reasonably be allowed to return, right away, to face only Western justice, and a prison term of several years. But all those thinking of joining this camp of Muslim murderers, whatever name they give themselves, should be put on notice, with the example of Shamima Begum front and center, that once you choose to join the Islamic State, or any similar group, you will be stripped of your citizenship, and not be allowed to return to the country you betrayed, whatever “international law” has to say about statelessness.
If current laws are insufficient to ensure this outcome, then Western governments must pass the laws that will be sufficient, something to the effect that “Anyone who willingly leaves Country X to join any terror group, and remains with that group for a period exceeding one month, will be stripped of citizenship and not be allowed to return” to Country X.” The word “Islam” need not be mentioned; it would be understood.
What then happens to them, these now “stateless” beings, someone asks in anguish, out of a diseased sympathy. Why should we care? Those people who worry so much about the proper treatment of Muslim terrorists and their sympathizers are on the one hand. We are on the other.
On February 19 came the glad news that the Home Office in the U.K. has revoked the citizenship of Shamima Begum. Her family is “disappointed.” Sensible people, on the other hand, will be delighted, and grateful to Sajid Javid, the Home Secretary, for his swift decision.
For those who may need a reminder of the moral idiocy of Shamima Begum, here are a half-dozen of her recent remarks:
1. During an interview with Sky News, Ms Begum was asked how she felt about the debate in the UK as to whether she should be allowed to come home.
She responded: “I think a lot of people should have, like, sympathy towards me for everything I’ve been through.”
2. During the same interview, she was asked if she knew about the beheadings and executions carried out by the Islamic State.
She replied: “Yeah, I knew about those things and I was okay with it. Because, you know, I started becoming religious just before I left.
“From what I heard, Islamically that is all allowed. So I was okay with it.”
3. In an interview with The Times earlier in February, Ms Begum had spoken of seeing “beheaded heads” in bins, but admitted it “did not faze her.”
4. When asked whether she had any regrets, Ms. Begum responded: “No.”
She said she had no second thoughts until the death of her son, telling Sky her second thoughts came: “Only at the end after my son died. I realised I had to get out for the sake of my children – for the sake of my daughter and my baby. Yeah.”
When she was asked if she thought she’d made a mistake, she added: “In a way, yes, but I don’t regret it because it’s changed me as a person.
“It’s made me stronger, tougher. I married my husband. I wouldn’t have found someone like him back in the UK.”
5. When speaking of having no regrets, Ms Begum spoke of how she’d had a good experience, “I had my kids. I did have a good time there, it’s just that at the end things got harder and I couldn’t take it anymore.”
When asked what it was like living with and under Islamic State, Ms Begum said: “At first it was nice, it was like how they showed it in the videos, like ‘come, make a family together.’”
“Then afterwards, things got harder, you know. When we lost Raqqa we had to keep moving and moving and moving. The situation got difficult.”
6. BBC reporter Quentin Somerville said: “Here’s your opportunity then to apologize to some of the people who were murdered by the group that you joined. Some of the kids from Manchester who were killed in the Manchester arena.”
The 19-year-old replied: “I was shocked but…
“I do feel that is wrong that innocent people did get killed. It’s one thing to kill a soldier, it’s fine, it’s self-defense.
“But to kill people like women and children just like the women and children in Baghuz who are being killed right now unjustly by the bombings – it’s a two-way thing really because women and children are being killed back in the Islamic State right now.
“It’s kind of retaliation. Their justification was that it [the bombing in Manchester] was retaliation so I thought, okay, that is a fair justification.”
7. Beheading videos and the “good life they can provide you” are what attracted her to Islamic State.
When asked by a BBC reporter if it was the beheading videos that attracted her to join the Islamic State, Ms Begum said: “Not just the beheading videos, you know the videos they show of families and stuff in the park, the good life they can provide you.
“Not just the fighting videos, but the fighting videos as well.”
Yes, I knew you would agree. Shamima Begum’s statements are unbelievable. Islam can do that.
Or Else! says
Izlombies.
mortimer says
Adolf Eichman also had no regrets and wanted to come home, but he knew he would be tried and sentenced and despised for his crimes if his identity became known.
Begum reminds me of the SS Helferinnen who administered the Nazi death camps. They also had no regrets for assisting in genocide.
mortimer says
Anyone who willingly participates in or aids a genocide should be given a sentence of between 10 and 20 years.
Terry Gain says
No. They should be executed.
surj1936 says
Terry Gain I will second that.
Gene says
Oh, come on. Let her in. You can never have enough mass murdering whores. She could live a productive life killing infidel babies for Planned Parenthood.
Terry Gain says
The only thing British about her is her teeth.
Ferdinand (@StFerdinandIII) says
Inbred bag head – NHS dental is almost free (user fees apply). I am sure her welfare payments would cover the fees. But nothing will sort out her stupid. The usual SJW crowd are in tears over her hardships, a Moslem pet being denied welfare for life etc.
John says
Definitely a double bagger. Recommend full burka.
Jayell says
There is a letter on the BBC website purportedly from the Begum family to the Home Secretary, saying that they are ‘disappointed’ in his decision to withdraw their daughter’s British citizenship and are appalled at her behaviour (or words to that effect), and that they tried to uphold British values and to stop her becoming involved with ISIS, whom they describe in appropriately deprecatory language. The letter was clearly written by the family’s solicitor purely to make the ‘right noises’ in order to try to reverse the Home Secretary’s decision or/and gain custody of the child and probably bears little relationship to the family’s actual conduct and attitudes past and present; the predictably ‘correct’ pseudo-patriotic sentiments of the letter do not seem to match the sort of domestic environment that one would expect to produce offspring with attitudes expressed by Shemima Begum unless the family had had zero influence over her – which is extremely unlikely. So this letter is probably a cynical contrivance aimed at duping the authorities and the British public into accepting what has been clearly declared as nationally unacceptable and thus arrogantly insulting the integrity of the entire nation.
Anne Smith says
Her father took her to Anjem Choudary rallies, where Choudary spread his hatred of UK and his Islamic doctrine, so I think we can assume her family were all in on the “radicalisation” of this stupid and amoral woman.
The only thing which is puzzling is why the airlines took three under age unaccompanied minors to Turkey.Normally airlines require children under 16 to be accompanied by a responsible adult or else identified on the documentation for the flight staff to look after in flight and hand over to ground staff on arrival.
gerard says
Assuming others (not UK subjects) are going to sent to prison, there is not reason a UK passport should be her get out jail free card. At a minimum, she should serve her sentance.
Jayell says
Somewhere else, where UK taxpayers aren’t going to waste their money on her. My guess is that the Begum family had probably run up a big enough social services bill even before this fiasco.
Jay says
I would hope England would not allow her to return ! She aided and abetted the enemy of England.
She has no remorse! She would be a danger to English citizens as her loyalty would not be to
England but to the IS terrorists! England is almost lost now with the Muslim invasion, and the destruction they have brought with them, not to mention crime, disease, cost of welfare , no go zones, terror attacks,
and the destruction of English society by non conformists of the Islamic religion. They have money to build numerous mosques, yet demand welfare benefits everywhere they invade and very few are employed.
They invade the schools requesting special treatment and never conform!!
Pm Churchill is not resting well today!! God save the queen and England. I do wonder why the royal family and the queen herself have not objected to this Muslim invasion and destruction of England??
The USA will not be able to save them again!!
I am thankful Pres Trump has halted immigration from many militant Muslim countries!
The USA has had its share of Muslim terrorist attacks too.
The world must be vigilant to the threats these extremists pose!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Trump 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Arthur says
I remember when these all 3 young shits posted from ISIS how they hated Western countries, how ready are to cut off some heads.
I am sure that all these leftist human rights activists will do everything to bring her back to the UK, offer her a council house, single mum benefits, welfare, etc and perhaps get some multi million compensation for lost citizenship.
I still remember when they burnt their foreign passport when joined devilish ISIS, now they want to return to safer West because they are citizens.
Where were human rights activists when her husband beheaded infidels heads?
Sam says
We should allow her to come to the US, pay for her and her children upkeep until she finds another moderate muslim husband. All her and childrens’ legal fees and medical expenses should be paid. She then should go through a deradicalization process by a moderate imam. After this process she should be on the welfare program to help other muslimas not to leave the country to join Jihadi organizations so they would not be helping terrorists killing American citizens or soldiers. This would be through of course my hard earned tax dollars I do not know how to spend myself for my own family needs.
Even discussing this insanity is insane to me. SHOOT THE ENEMY!
Ole Pederson says
How come most of these Mushlims look as stupid as 3 feet country road? Does Robert Spencer carefully choose the worst portraits? Or is it the result of one thousand years of incest?
Jayell says
Just look at what they achieve off their own bats in their own countries. That says it all.
gravenimage says
Their ideology makes them ugly.
Mike Stevens says
She is far from alone in her twisted beliefs. This is the father of one of the other three supposedly “brainwashed victims” who joined IS, Amira Abase. He came to Britain as a refugee from Ethiopia in 1999. He’s jumping up and down demanding that Begum be let back into the country, as she is “no threat”. Oh yeah? This is HIS background.
After Amira disappeared it emerged he had attended a protest outside the Saudi embassy in London, in 2013, said to have been organised by the Islamic extremist group Al-Muhajiroun, founded by the extremist cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed.
He also admitted having taken Amira to a demonstration outside the US Embassy, at the age of 12, at which an American flag was burnt. Also at the rally were the jailed extremist preacher Anjem Choudary and Michael Adebowale, one of the killers of Fusilier Lee Rigby.

Yep.

Shamima Begum, Who Joined the Islamic State, Has “No Regrets” But Wants to Come Home (Part 3)
………………..
So she is still fine with all those beheadings and Jihad against the Infidel. Letting her back in the UK would be suicidal for us.
IanB says
“Deradicalisation” – like trying to tame rattlesnakes.
Bernice says
She probably just wants a free orthodontist. Let her sit in the environment of her choice.
