Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK: Unrepentant Islamic State bride stripped of citizenship, enraged family headed to court

Feb 20, 2019 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

“ISIS bride Shamima Begum has been stripped of her British citizenship after showing no remorse for joining the terror group.”

Her lawyer Tasnime Akunjee stated that her family is considering “all legal avenues to challenge the decision.” At whose expense? And now the family has launched its battle, vowing to “take Home Secretary Sajid Javid to court.”

Javid has “warned he will not hesitate to prevent the return of Britons who travelled to join ISIS.” Kudos to Javid. This should be a policy followed by every Western nation, out of concern for the safety of its citizens. Policymakers should keep in mind the people whom the Islamic State beheaded, raped and tortured. These Islamic State brides were either participants in these atrocities or otherwise complicit in them in some manner. Jihadi brides of the Islamic State are often presented as poor little brainless victims lacking any will of their own, and who were led unwittingly by beastly Islamic State men into chambers of horror, but this is not the case. Shamima Begum and her counterparts are jihadists themselves. They have no remorse, and they raise their children with a murderous hate against infidels. It is stunning that anyone in the UK would take them at their word as they beg for sympathy. Their victims need sympathy. And the Western public needs protection from them.

More on this story. “ISIS bride Shamima Begum STRIPPED of British citizenship after showing no remorse for fleeing to Syria,” by John Lockett, The Sun, February 20, 2019:

ISIS bride Shamima Begum has been stripped of her British citizenship after showing no remorse for joining the terror group.

An official Home Office letter breaking the shock news was delivered to Begum’s “disappointed” family earlier today.

“Please find enclosed papers that relate to a decision taken by the Home Secretary, to deprive your daughter, Shamima Begum, of her British citizenship,” the letter read.

“In light of the circumstances of your daughter, the notice of the Home Secretary’s decision has been served of file today (19th February), and the order removing her British citizenship has subsequently been made.”

The letter – obtained by ITV News – went on to urge the Begum family to make their daughter aware of the decision while adding she had the right to appeal.

It’s not yet known how the ban will affect her newborn son Jerah – who is half British and half Dutch.

The schoolgirl’s family have said they are “disappointed” by the Home Office’s decision, said their lawyer Tasnime Akunjee.

“We are considering all legal avenues to challenge this decision,” he tweeted.

Begum’s dual nationality – as both her parents are of Bangladeshi – reportedly cleared the way for today’s decision.

However, Mr Akunjee, told The Independent the 19-year-old is a sole British national and had “never had a Bangladeshi passport”.

The Home Office has declined to comment on Mr Akunjee’s allegations but said: “We do not make people stateless.”

Earlier, a spokesman said: “In recent days the Home Secretary has clearly stated that his priority is the safety and security of Britain and the people who live here.

“In order to protect this country, he has the power to deprive someone of their British citizenship where it would not render them stateless.

    Maybe her entire family could go live in Bangladesh. The poor baby doesn’t stand a chance of learning right conduct wherever she lives.
    She knows terror tactics and with no “remorse”…would likely use them wherever she is allowed to live. She is a servant of satan and her family are complicit in her illegal activities.

      If the ‘young lady’ (sic) in question has – or had? – dual Bangladeshi/British nationality, then so must her family, so it’s likely that they could easily relocate back to Bangkadesh. Bethnal Green (in the notorious islamic Republic of Tower Hamlets from which she absconded) is now virtually a colony of Bangladesh. They even wanted to rename a local rail station ‘Bangla Town’! So no doubt they feel they can call the shots on what is or is not acceptable in the UK based on the distorted perspective if their locality. They’re clearly negligently or deliberately ignorant of the vast outrage over this case in the rest of the UK, which no doubt might as well not exist as far as they’re concerned. Maybe they’re about to get a painful reality check. And as for that lawyer of theirs…….

        Bangladesh authorities have already made it clear they don’t want the Jihadist in their country & won’t accept her..

    The Home Secretary needs to remove all terrorists who have raped English women. that would increase the safety of the females in England.

    • Sun says

      Not only the rapists need to go. To be grabbed and touched or is a nightmare too.

      The Home Secretary is a non-practicing Muslim who is reported, I believe to only eat halal slaughtered meat.
      I would like the safety of all women of the UK to increase, not just the English ones.

      • Rufolino says

        Feb 21, 2019 at 4:29 am

        The Home Secretary is “a non-practising Moslem” ?

        He says. For now. Whatever the truth is, time will always reveal it.

        It’s hard for honourable British people to realise, lying is part of Islamic ideology.

        Don’t trust what a Moslem says. it’s possible he may be serving his prophet with lies.

    The whole thing is a joke. A public relations stunt by the UK. Not only will she be let back in eventually, they will find a home for her and the child and pay for it. By the way, the US is also facing a similar situation with a young lady from Alabama. Lets see what they do

      I’m American… the thing is, these jihadists are being held by the Kurds, I believe, who do not have the resources to hold them indefinitely…Certianly we don’t want them released into the world at large. That would be a very dangerous mistake. Seems to me, each country should take back their people under an enemy combatant status and military incarceration. To be followed by military trial, and if found guilty lawful punishment up to, and including execution. GITMO is the place they should be held if American…if they are recent immigrants, or refugees… they should be given back to their country of origin and be dealt with by the military authorities of those countries.

        Agree with GI. She can never be trusted not to repeat her CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY if she is not punished for them.

        Many Nazis were unrepentant. Unrepentant like that, she does not deserve to be allowed entry.

    Of course there will be a deathly silence over this from the rabid, retarded, lunatic left because how can they wail ‘racist’, ‘bigot; ‘Islamophobe’ etc as they always do in their pathetic parrot like fashion. Because the UK’s Home secretary is a Pakistani Muslim himself (albeit a non practicing one as he seems to have a moral conscience, which the majority of Muslims don’t).

    So now this Muslima, who voluntarily departed the UK shores when she was 15, now wants to come back to her warm cosy abode in the UK, after spending a time of 4 years hating, and fighting against the very kind of people who took her in, in the first place. People who educated her, housed her, fed her and looked after her in every way possible (as any Christian society would) , while other more deserving indigenous people have been consigned to the streets of the UK with no shelter, no food, no warmth etc. to look after themselves.
    Whilst she voluntarily becoming a sexual play thing for some demonic ISIS jihadi who she didn’t even know for more than 5 minutes before he proceeded to inseminate her with his devil seed.

    You’ll not find a single homeless Muslim on the streets of the UK, as the UK’s pathetic government and social services much prefer to cosset Infidel hating Muslims and throw bountiful amounts of benefits, houses and other free services at them, just to make them all feel at home.

    Now she’s going to try and use the Jihadists spawn to wiggle her way back into the UK after her British citizenship was stripped off her, simply because she had a dual passport with Bangladesh. So why not take herself and her spawn back there? The baby wasn’t born in the UK (as if that should matter) so I’m hoping she’ll be sent there instead!

    What my main concern is, why have 440 returning jihadists been allowed back into the UK already? And why have only 40 of those been prosecuted? And why are the rest being offered councilling, together with their parents, at a further cost to the UK taxpayer that runs into tens of millions of pounds?

    The liberal elite in the West are truly insane!

    She burnt her British passport when joined ISIS, she enjoyed her life there, I still remember when all these 3 girls wrote many posts about their happy life in the caliphate, how they hate infidels and they were ready to cut off some heads. Now she wants to return to the UK. – the place she hated to live among non-muslims. She should loose her citizenship long time ago

    Well gee, let’s just let Justin Trudeau know about this. I can’t believe someone would take that poor girls citizenship away. I’m sure there’s a place in Canada for more murders and monsters. Yes, Justin signed the migration pact so they won’t even have to wait at the border just come in. We know how to treat our isis returning killers, we won’t even ask it’ll be our little secret

    I was going to say that taking away this grub’s UK citizenship is a good sign. Maybe the UK Government was aware of the anger amongst the population there, which is a good sign that people might be waking up and forcing the government to actually make a tough decision. But I suspect this ISIS grub will end up back in the UK after legal appeals drag through the courts, because that seems to be what happens in our all too soft, too compassionate countries. Here in Australia, we have an Appeals Tribunal which continually overturns the efforts of our Minister for Home affairs, Peter Dutton, to expel all types of criminal grubs and people who are a security threat. Anyway, I hope the UK does keep this ISIS piece of trash out and it would be great if her family buggered off as well to some Muslim country where they can all live their barbaric lives. We have to celebrate these little signs of progress in the war with barbaric Islam because mostly our government’s seem to be caving to the Muslim enemy.

    Many more citizenship removals necessary…

    …and not just for the enemies of the West who LEFT it.

    Feb 20, 2019 at 4:51 pm

    She has ISIS citizenship, ISIS announced independence and issued own passports!!!! It doesn’t matter it was not recognised by any country, but she chose living in ISIS and ISIS citizenship!!!!
    how many innocent people could her husband jihadi kill, rape, behead? Im sure that many

  12. ntesdorf says

    Feb 20, 2019 at 5:00 pm

    She has clearly proved herself to be a person of a character that Britain does not need as well as being an irresponsible person. Now hordes of lawyers will be working on the case not for justice but for fees, as usual. Islam is at war with the West and enemy agents should be kept out.

  13. keith Oades says

    Feb 20, 2019 at 5:03 pm

    A little known fact is that isis fighters were being paid and that under international law makes them mercenaries. Who lose their citizenship, whatever country they belonged to originally.
    As these women were supporting the entity and it’s fighters the same laws apply to them.
    This means they are all stateless.

    No doubt those masters of virtue-signalling,the Leftards, will be out with their placards..”No to islamophobia”,”Stop racism”2Donald Trump’s fault”…..and the naive Dhimmi Christians “Jesus was a refugee”…..and..the muslims “Jesus was a muslim refugee” “Death to those who insult islam””Zionist Jewish Israelis behind all this carry-on”{you know,the usual islamic falsehoods..}

    Hope this gets *nowhere* in the courts.

    This disgusting woman joyfully watched innocent people being beheaded, while at the same time breeding the babies that are going to be tomorrow’s terrorists. For her family, however, she is a wonderful innocent girl that went on holidays to the Middle-East, and by some strange fate, ended up being the bride of one or many of these Muslim monsters. As for the money required to sue the Government? No problem there, hard-earned taxpayers’ money will be made available by the compliant Government. It wouldn’t surprise me if May, one of the most enthusiastic Muslim appeasers, might be, behind the scenes, pushing for lenience for this female monster.

    Funny how the targets of legal Jihad get to pay for it.
    It’s all about their ‘human rights’.
    You know, their human right to hate and kill you while you feed, house and provide them with free money.
    Yeah, those human rights.
    What a farce.

    What is intriguing to me about this case is that Begum and her two conspirators had to sneak out of Tower Hamlets and travel incognito. Her parents must have seen a few signs of Begum’s religiosity going bananas in her online viewing tatstes (Awlaki always) as well as her plan for Syria, but never twigged she might be getting radicalised, unless the A grade student was light years ahead of the crowd in her euphoria for jihad. Moreover, who funded the trip and logistics to Syria? Cage Gitmo fighters UK/Birmingham? Did Begum get hitched provisionally online with her Dutch convert Islamic warrior husband? Was there an urgency for Begum to find a husband and get pregnant immediately? If so, why? It all seems very choreographed and well planned, down to the stories about the two babies dying of hunger or lack of meds. Classic memes to add to the CV of Begum’s tall tale of terrible victimisation by the kuffar. I suspect a ‘false flag’ operation here by IS media trolls who are having lots of fun watching the British & EU media get tied up in knots by the whole citizenship issue. But it may rebound on lovers of jihad if Javid has the cojones and decides to come down harder on IS returnees in the UK and elsewhere. No point in jailing them of course in UK. Far too expensive, and everywhere is full up with Muslim agitators and hard men. What we need is our very own Gitmo, located down Tierra del Fuego way.
