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

ISIS bride from UK wants to return: “There is more safety in a British prison, more education and access to family”

Sep 27, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Yes, of course, and this will probably work. After all, it shouldn’t be hard to find British officials who will consider her safety, not that of British citizens, to be paramount.

“JIHAD IT Shamima Begum moans she was an ISIS ‘baby machine’ during time as jihadi bride and demands to return home as British prisons are cushier,” by Jenny Awford, The Sun, September 26, 2019:

ISIS bride Shamima Begum has claimed that all she did while living in the so-called caliphate was “make babies” – and again expressed hope that she will be allowed to return home.

The former Brit schoolgirl also said she now “hates” the terror group after the death of her three babies and that her mental health is suffering.

Begum came to national attention in 2015 when she and two school friends, all aged between 15 and 16, fled the UK to join ISIS in Syria.

She later married Dutch-born Yago Riedijk and spent more than three years living under the rule of the brutal group.

Speaking from a Syrian camp, the jihadi poster girl has denied having been a member of the hesba, an organisation within ISIS tasked with enforcing its strict behavioural and dress codes.

“For the first eight months [in the caliphate] I was waiting at home for my husband who was in prison suspected of spying,” she told the Daily Mail.

“After that I was constantly making babies.

“I did not even speak Arabic.”

She added that she would rather be in a British jail so she could access education and psychiatric help.

“Mentally I am in a really bad way. I need therapy to deal with my grief. It is so hard. I have lost all my children,” she said.

“I have no real friends. I have lost all the friends who came with me. Now I do not have anyone.

“I would like to be at home. There is more safety in a British prison, more education and access to family.”

She added: “I hate the [ISIS] so much.

“I hate these women and what they stand for and what they believe in and that they think they can terrorise anyone who does not share their views.”…

    It is sad that she didn’t do a bit of research before she left England to support ISIS in Syria. Even just a tiny bit of research and she could have figured this out. To say that she didn’t do anything is incorrect. She gave material support and aid to ISIS fighters. She can go to another Islamic country if they will take her.

      Cece, how do you know that she was unaware of what Jihad and Shari’ah entail? More likely, she just wants to come back now that the Islamic State is no more. Why weren’t these Jihadi brides flooding back before now?

        Shamima Begum was no doubt naïve about what Sharia looks like up close, not suspecting how horrific it actually is to implement every single aspect of Sharia daily and relentlessly. She was used to the laxity of British Muslims and was IDEALIZING a Sharia utopia she had not seen.

        This is what all ideologies do to people … the followers of an ideology IDEALIZE a vision of the future that they have not experienced. History in the twentieth century is littered with the corpses of millions who believed in Utopia.

        Pure Islam betrayed Shamima Begum, turned her into a criminal, a whore and a mental patient.

        In a sane world, her story would be turned into a movie to warn young women from joining Islam.

        Islam … the world’s most misogynistic religion.

          To demonstrate her good faith she should abandon Islam. Then live for a year in a monastery, do some social service. After that she should be considered for jail time.

          She is still immured in Islamic cover–I don’t think there is any reason to believe that she has rejected Islam and its horrors.

          And remember that she has said that she does not regret her decision to join ISIS. She also said she had been unfazed by seeing the head of a beheaded man as he was “an enemy of Islam”.

          This doesn’t sound like some sort of sweet naive idealistic hippy chick who thought she was heading to an Islamic utopia to me.

    ………………….

    But who will be safe from her? Certainly, not the British public.

    And still all wrapped up in black to the ferkin eyeballs like a ninja! Obviously not changed one bloody iota. Stay where you are , this is still not what many of us want to see here in Australia or the UK, it is still not the culture. If THAT is your culture, then fair enough, stay right where yo are. If any of us feel insane enough to want to indulge our senses in it, then we will come to you there, not the other way around. Now run off and continue your task of being a ‘baby factory’ prostitute of islam.

    Acts have consequences. She knew what she was doing when she left the UK, giving two fingers to the civilised country in which she had been brought up.

    If the Caliphate had succeeded, she and others like her would now all be glorying in their status as islamic heroes.

    Because it collapsed, hundreds of extremists like her want to return, whining about their hardships and pleading for sympathy, as if the atrocities they committed can all be conveniently swept under the carpet

    No, it doesn’t work that way. We should not take back these snakes and scorpions.

    I remember her and 2 her friends used to post in internet how happy they are in ISIS, ready to chop off some non-muslim heads, how they hate Western World, and now this little shit wants to return to Western World. What did her husband do in ISIS? She described him as a very good muslim/jihadi, so then he used to kill innocent people there. She was in Sharia police, some her victims may have survived. BTW – everyone who joined ISIS burnt his/her foreign passport, and got ISIS passport.

      Exactly.

      Sep 29, 2019 at 1:32 pm

      Yup! She’s no longer a British citizen anyway – she’s had her citizenship revoked and I see that our new Home secretary Priti Patel, has come out today and stated that she will definitely not be allowed to return to the UK. I believe she has Bangladeshi citizenship so maybe she would like to go there. We do not want her in the UK – her family was given sanctuary here by us, given benefits, medical care, education and she chose to support a terrorist organisation. The ungrateful toe rag can rot for all I and most UK citizens (the sane ones anyway) care.

    In China there are not enough women. I would find an older ugly chinese man who has no wife, and tell Shamima, she can choose, this guy will be her husband, they will live in China (in China there are a lot of executions) and she can forget halal food (I ♡ chinese food), or she can stay where she is and noone will ask her again how is she.
    UK and Bangladesh don’t want her and I can understand it. Maybe she killed people with her own hands, we don’t know, we were not there. I don’t want this kind of people in Europe. She wants education? Maybe a quran school to understand “”””real”””” islam?

    “I hate these women and what they stand for and what they believe in and that they think they can terrorise anyone who does not share their views.”…
    ———————————————————————-
    “Got it in one, Shemima !” – that’s exactly how the rest of feel, and that’s why we don’t want you back.

    (Besides which, of course – she is already “back” – she’s a horrible muslim who went back where she belongs – a horrible muslim country.)

    Surprisingly no thought of renouncing Islam – the real reason for her dilemma.

    Sajid Javed is simply grooming himself for No. 10 Downing Street, as witnessed by his own statement that “the UK is ready for an ethnic minority Prime Minister”. So he’s acting ‘more British than the British’ to get the job. Shame that he’s already been caught out chsnging his colours to keep on the winning side, so once he gets his maulers on the levers of power, Allah alone knows what he’s going to get up to (yes, he’s one of those). By the way, it’s also a shame he forgot about Benjamin Disraeli, the UK’s first etnic minority PM from Victorian times – but since he was Jewish perhaps Mr. Javed conveniently forgot about him.

    Maybe since she’s stated publicly that she hates ISIS and the women of ISIS ( that are in the camp with her) maybe we will get lucky and those pious ISIS women will kill her. ….as they have killed others who say things like this.

  14. Kerry Wade says

    Sep 29, 2019 at 10:56 am

    We can but hope Lilith. If anyone swallows her doublespeak rhetoric, is sympathetic with her murderous black heart, they are either jihadi enablers or so naïve as to require 10 years of deprogramming. No way should this sick excuse for a human being be ever given freedom.

    My guess she is probably lying and should not be trusted. Let her enjoy her islamic life in a shit country that supports islam.
