Shamima Begum is no dummy. She knows what British authorities want, so very desperately, to hear. If she convinces them that she now realizes that Islam is a religion of peace and that she was “brainwashed” to think otherwise, she may be back in the United Kingdom in no time. At an incalculable risk to Britons, but who in the British government cares about that? Fighting “Islamophobia” is their priority!
“Shamima Begum claims she knows ‘little about Islam’ and ‘regrets everything’ in UK return plea,” by Danya Bazaraa and James Rodger, Birmingham Live, April 1, 2019:
ISIS bride Shamima Begum says she ‘regrets everything’.
The comments from the British schoolgirl, who left Bethnal Green for Syria, came as she made a second plea for a return to the UK.
The 19-year-old said she was ‘brainwashed’ by the terror group and wants to come back to the UK to ‘start my life over again’.
Shamima told The Times she actually knew little about Islam, reports the Mirror.
Ms Begum was 15 when she and two other schoolgirls went to join ISIS in February 2015.
She resurfaced heavily-pregnant in a refugee camp in northern Syria in January and spoke of her desire to return to the UK, as the self-styled caliphate collapsed.
Ms Begum gave birth last month to her son Jarrah at the refugee camp, but the baby boy suffered from ill-health and died two weeks later.
“Since I left Baghuz I really regretted everything I did and I feel like I want to go back to the UK for a second chance to start my life over again,” she told The Times, in her first interview since the death of her son Jarrah .
“I was brainwashed. I came here believing everything that I had been told, while knowing little about the truths of my religion.”
She added: “I do regret having children in the caliphate.”…

Tough!
Halal Bacon says
ignorance is NOT bliss
JW_Reader says
This is not ignorance. This is simple Taqiya!! What happened in the last 30 days that she suddenly wised up about Islam? This is just a ploy to get back to UK and carry on with her holy war against the infidel nation. Let see – if she can fool the home office people and get back!
jayell says
It wouldn’t surprise me to discover that the Home Office had a hand in this, because, like the rest of the UK establishment, it seems to be riddled with islam. Why else have so many characters with dubious islamic connections been allowed in whilst hardly any Christians have been granted asylum, including people such as Asia Bibi (whose life is apparently genuinely at risk) have been refused on the grounds that her presence might ’cause unrest’ in certain communities! And the other middle eastern Christian who converted from islam because ‘Christianity is peaceful’, and was refused with a pathetically contrived letter full of cock-and-bull garbage trying to claim that Christianity was violent!!! As far as the UK majority are concerned, depriving Ms Begum of her UK citizenship would look very good on Home Secretary Javid’s CV when he makes a bid for No.10, and backtracking and admitting allowing her back on ‘humanitarian’ grounds would help prop up his appeal to his fellow-muslims. Very clever. Perhaps.
Rufluc says
You are correct to say the UK establishment is riddled with Islam Jayell, just as a cousin of one of the Muslim child rapists passed on address details of his victims to enable him to threaten them and their families so as to not testify against him. Simply because she worked in the council and had access to this information.
This girl has fast come to the realisation how lucky she was to have lived in the UK. It also shows how much influence Islam has on young impressionable minds, especially where those minds belong to young Muslims! This reveals the enormous dangers the West will continue to face in the years ahead, because one thing for certain, Islam does not and will not change. Its evil teachings remain the same by virtue of it supposedly being the word of Allah. The fact that Allah wasn’t around to save her three babies is neither here nor there. They are blinded by the irony of such things.
There is no doubt in my mind that she will eventually be allowed to return, like all the others. The government will just wait till this becomes old news, and then they will capitulate with Muslims in the UK who have been supporters of hers. They have already shown themselves to be Muslim appeasers many times over, especially where Tommy Robinson is concerned, and any British lives lost is simply just collateral damage them. Such is the importance of allowing Islam to flourish in the UK to them.
Yes, even our own government and its officials have been mind screwed by the evil of Islam. It’s insidious influence is far reaching, covert and deceptive. Just as its creator intended it to be.
Anjuli Pandavar says
Jayell, I’m thinking along the same lines.
Alan Ware says
At first she said she had no regret. Now that she has a solicitor she claims to have been brainwashed. If I get accused of islamophobia I can claim to have been brainwashed too
CogitoErgoSum says
The fact that she still calls Islam her religion indicates to me that she does not actually “regret everything.”
mortimer says
Agree with CES: she adheres to a hate cult and so she still hates the kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’. That hatred (Baraa or Al Bughoud or Al Mu’adaat) is the emotive motivation for jihad. A Muslim who doesn’t hate the kufaar is a MUNAFIQ (a lukewarm ‘hypocrite’ Muslim).
So she will go to England and ‘half-hate’ the kafirs and never feel she is one with them. She will be a ticking timebomb for life.
Ashley says
Good point, Cogito.
Keith says
Is she still wearing the clothing of oppression?
I think she has been coached in what to say to gain the sympathy of the people. She hasn’t changed her belief that Islam should be the only religion and everyone else should be killed, subjugated or enslaved by muslims.
Ragdoll says
Wah Wah Wah.
Nobody’s buying it, ho. Stay there and rot.
Keith says
Reading the full article, unless they have missed out large parts of the interview, the only thing she seems to regret is having children whilst living in the caliphate.
She says ““I was brainwashed. I came here believing everything that I had been told, while knowing little about the truths of my religion.”” yet she still goes and reads verses from the koran over her dead childs unmarked grave. Why if she now knows what horrors her religion teaches?
katherine says
Now that’s a real twister : she is in truth, actually misunderstanding that Islam is a religion of peace, which still insists that Peace will exist when the whole world submits to the Fascist ideology she’s still faithful to.
Still no change actually.
underbed cat says
Still, this girl is only 19, she was a younger child when she left, I read nothing about her family, but if she was born into a muslim family whose father attended mosque or traveled only in her community she was very drenched in this culture of Islamic supremacist, maybe hate for Assad or the hateful verses of the Quran. If you never see anything that corrects that vision about Islam that she may have been taught in the mosque and believed what she heard or read and thought it was their God’s plan she may have joined what appeared to be normal. I bet it did not take her long to regret her decision, but surrounded by male jihadists, and death she may have been too frightened to speak out, she would be killed. In fact I believe she is at risk by speaking, due to her age she was brainwashed from the start. If she returned she could be jailed but if released not allowed to return to her old roots and maybe wear a bracelet for the 1st year. But is all up to the U.K. and her desire to leave the ugliness behind. If she get close to a mosque she should get booted out. I am not supporter of this stuff but she was a child and they get abused and used.
Az gal says
You don’t know anything, do you?
somehistory says
A reporter for FOX News had another interview with the “isis bride” from Alabama. She is still pleading to return to the U.S., saying that she will be a “model citizen.” She says that she “doesn’t hate America,” even though she did say moslims here should be killing all of us with big trucks and running over people in parades, etc.
The FOX reporter wrote ‘that ‘now that the caliphate is done for, all of them are wanting to return home.’ As long as the food was plentiful and they weren’t being bombed constantly, they were ready to stay, fight and encourage others to kill for islam.
They are all alike. Saying they are now “different” but still wearing the clothes that shout they are still heavily moslim…and pretending that they didn’t know what was really going on in Syria.
Walter Sieruk says
On the morning of 4/1/19 on television on Fox News there was an interview with that ISIS bribe . In the beginning of the interview she was told “You turned your back on America..” by traveling overseas and joining ISIS . Then she was asked “Why should she be allowed to return to America ?” To that question she answered with no comment based on reason or logic .She just replied “I just want to go home to America.”
Therefore she was then asked another question which was “Why had she join ISIS .” This that question she was specific and said “Because the Quran told her to.”
This reply should tell something to all rational and intelligent people
Wellington says
Yes indeed, Walter Sieruk, that reply connotates so much. Actually, a veritable mound of information and intention.
Richard says
You make a very good point, Walter Sieruk. She says what she WANTS is one thing, but she DOES what the Qu’ran says. I may want to commit a sin, but I don’t because the Bible tells me not to. In other words, what she wants is irrelevant to what she actually does – and she says she does what the Qu’ran tells her to do, so as a good Muslim, she must keep on killing. Does anyone here want her for a next door neighbor?
Ashley says
Thanks for that, Walter.
I found the video of the interview…her attitude is appalling! Flashing her bright smile, inappropriate giggles, flippancy.
I don’t sense an iota of remorse or regret…
Here’s a link for that missed the clip:
na says
Give her a chance in porn movies. She is a whore , how many husband she has, they are in Q.
PRCS says
“Because the Quran told her to.”
Hoda Muthana–counseled by her new best friends at CAIR–is still playing a game. She’ll continue to imply–contrary to the Flip Wilsonish “the Qur’an made me do it” line– that “extremists” (who as we all know have twisted, perverted and hijacked the ROP) brainwashed her into doing that: until she returns to the U.S., at which time she’ll become a VERY good Muslim–again.
Qur’an didn’t tell her to “join ISIS” or any other organization.
Wellington says
“I was brainwashed.”
Every Muslim, no exception, has been brainwashed. Only the degree of the brainwashing is in question.
Put another way, while not all Muslims are evil, at the very least all Muslims are confused human beings because Islam is evil and adhering to something evil which you think good is, ipso facto, evidence of AT LEAST great confusion of mind. And which is why NO Muslim should be relied upon to keep free societies free and to back true equality under the law.
mneidoff says
I know this may sound cruel, but I think the best thing is to turn her over to the Iraqis who are sentencing these brides of the slaughterers, to death. That is the only real lesson to be learned here. These girls who want to come home to teach others now that they know better, is a whole lotta crap. Sorry to say.
katherine says
There is an extremely kind and considerate alternative. Have a word with the Chinese, pay them and send her to Urumqi institutions for further education. It’s a win-win for all and I believe the Sino-centric rehab program is the best in this world or the next – whichever.
After that she should be made to take a vow to abandon the sharia prerogative and dress like Yalda Hakim – now all’s well that ends well BUT if she abrogates just once ……..
You’re right – Assad can have her. Then again we tried didn’t we ?
Indiana Tom says
You have heard of the T-cell virus turning people into raving flesh eating zombies…well, we have the M cell Koran virus turning people into raving Muslim Jihadis.
No other explanation that I can think of.
Halal Bacon says
as the twig is bent
ntesdorf says
This is Taqqiya in action, but it is true that she still knows little about Islam, like most Muslims.
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, I would like her to explain what she learned that is true and not true about her religion. Why did she not know before and how does she know now?
FYI says
The Truths about her religion?
1.A false god allah “the Best of deceivers” k3:54
A god who preaches HATRED to ALL non-muslims{al walaa wal baraa}
A god whose greatest enemy is Malik al Amlak{“King of kings”}..Jesus Christ{Sahih muslim vol 5 hadith 5611}
2.A false prophet muhammed ,a self-confessed liar{al tabari 6:111}
A mass-murdering,polygamous,immoral, psychopath {Abu dawud 4390}
3.A false scripture which teaches and brazenly promotes and encourages violations of the Exodus 20 Commandments of God{=sins against God!}and which denies the 2 chief commandments of Love found in the true Judeo-Christian Biblical God.
4.A “religion of peace” that spreads evil,violence,Commandment-of-God violating wickedness and endless jihad.
A false god,a false “prophet”,a false scripture, a false religion:that’s the Truth about her religion,islam,the religion of antiChrist…
Gork says
The problem with a belief that doesn’t allow for complete surrender, and advocates deceit or lying for the sake of the faith, is that you can never trust them when they say that they were wrong.
That kind of declaration is a one-way trip. There is nothing she can say or do that will keep people from suspecting her –even if she truly is remorseful and wants to return to a civil, quiet life.
I do not for one minute think that such refugees should be allowed to return to their countries of origin. They have renounced their citizenship by their very actions. I do not care what becomes of these refugees. They sure didn’t care about those that they murdered and stole from. They brought this life upon themselves. Now they can answer for it.
TKF says
Uh, how about ……NO! You made your choices my little Muslima, now live with them. Just be glad you’re not in front of a firing squad you evil little girl. Get it through your head, outside of your family of fellow Troglodytes, NO ONE WANTS YOU BACK!!!.
Save Europe says
Yeah!!!! Brainwashed by your Daddy who took you to an Anjem Choudry public display, where one of the killers of Lee Rigby, also was present !!!
elee says
She should be offered the same terms I’ve proposed for the men who heeded Allah’s call: you can come back but you must attain your martyrdom first.
somehistory says
Thanks for the link. I used to watch FOX, but some time ago, most all of them began to sound too much like the other media. I did read the account on the news feed and she promised to be a “model citizen.” I don’t think she knows what that means.
I also saw that Judge Pirro was on her FOX show this past Saturday without mentioning anything about omar. Guess they gagged her.
Isabellathecrusader says
Always remember, Muslims lie.
na says
This is a lie . A person without brain “how can she tell she was brainwashed”?
Arthur says
Now, she tries to brainwash the interviewers and readers. Just a month ago she didn’t regret she had joined ISIS, she enjoyed life there, severed heads, her 2 friends wrote many posts how they would like to behead infidels. The female sex slave told that foreign ISIS brides were very cruel, so some survivors might recognise Shamima as a persecutor, also her husband was a “good jihadi” so how many innocent people did he kill there?
na says
I saw one CNN reporter interviewing an ISIS woman. That is not a good journalism. Yes you are allowed to expose through some different channels like “Jihad watch”…..But this interview looks like “lets have some fun”
na says
I have seen Interpol notice “Nirav Modi” . But he is in London as any ordinary people. People are not aware of that you can also introduce some new face of terrorism “most wanted person ” .
KGB wanted “Putin’
Raw wanted “Nirav Modi”
CBI “Mahathir Muhammad”
……………………………………………etc
Ren says
ISIS bride: “I was brainwashed while knowing little about the truths of my religion”
Wrong. She knew very well about islam.
underbed cat says
Wow, I guess for this 19 year old, that left , maybe at 16 or less, she should be slaughtered?
Children are not exactly blank slates as far as impulses or wiring but they are formed from the experiences and teachers and parents who may have all been muslim, not like in a group of people who know the 10 commandments of do not kill, and it’s your community and you see a muslim mayor, etc, and the people of the U.K can’t even speak about the commands of violence from the Quran, without being called an racist or hater and arrested I do think people can change if they are this young. I don’t know what she did over there other than have children, I really don’t know but for her to plead, knowing she could be killed for saying that she does not like this religion and start over….maybe….
As a teenager a muslim girl came to my school. She did not seem foreign, spoke English, light hair and no stark contrast..anyway she carried a quran, and told me stuff I had never heard and it freaked me out it was savage. She did not wear a hijab but talked non stop about her beliefs, she didn’t change me because I was raised to follow the ten commandments and violence was not around me nor did I hear it at home. That she recognized something bad is a clue. At a movie we were dropped off at, just for a movie and apparently, no one paid attention to the title, it had violence very graphic, I had never seen this before. I cried. she turned to me and asked what’s wrong? I don’t think she ever changed.
Peter WF says
Leave her and her children there. The kids are her responsibility. Not ours. Let her enjoy what she has built.
Ole Pederson says
One word: Taqqiya.
kiran says
Taking her back would be a suicide
J D.S says
If this woman wants to really return to America and is sincerely honest about wanting to come back and face whatever comes….Then throw off that stupid black garb…put on a pants suit and some make-up (if she’s broke (I’m sure someone might buy this for her) and plea for return and take what the law requires and end this mess. Otherwise keep her mouth shut and forget it. Take her child and find a good Christian home for it.
Ashley says
The problem with your proposal, J.D.S, is this: Even if she were to sport a pant suit and apply some make up, she would pose a grave danger to the US. She has not renounced Islam. And even if she would do so, no guarantee she’ll be sincere.
She’s been radicalized.
I agree…her child should be rescued. I see her using that little boy as her ticket back to America.
James says
I do not believe her story either. But as long as there is a steady flow of Muslims into the West, one person does not matter so much one way or the other. There has to be a dam against the flood, not simply picking on individual bad eggs. If she realizes that Islam is so bad, why does she not take off her muslim clothes as a start or admit that there is no religion of peaceful Islam.
na says
I think she is “ISI-Paki “. Can not believe. They normally trap people by hacking web, facebook, mail…..called honey trap. need to give awareness through seminar and advertisements people do not know that.
Marigold says
If this woman really thinks she was brainwashed she will stop wearing the oppressive garment she wears for a start.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Shamima Begum is no dummy.
No she’s not, not at all. By playing dumb, she’s directly appealing to the subliminal urge for stupidity that sits in the heart of every liberal. There can’t be anything wrong with being a dumbass, in fact it’s a kind of victimhood. So give her a mulligan on the Jihad mass murder thing.
After all, the details of Islam are hard to ferret out of the Holy Ko-Ran or the Imam’s latest Friday speech.
stephen burgess says
this country is so thick with lib left planks, the most stupid people on the planet they can be convinced by people that are even thicker than them of anything. these same people think they so clever that they cant be fooled. been told what to say so the thickets lap it up,then they feel good and think they have saved the planet. sick of them. more brains in an amoeba
underbed cat says
Actually scribblerg, many male children get used for disgusting martyrdom. Some are so young they just cry during their walk to death, sometimes they can be saved sometimes no, this is so disgusting to me, so it is not a girl thing, whatever that means,.but if a boy child was able to be saved, and cried for help I think he be placed, he could not return to family or home if they were involved.
James Lincoln says
Test post.
Once a moose says
Why on earth she can not go to a Islamic “house of piece” country? If they cant take her for engaging in jihad why should we?
