Britain has declined to take any official notice of the fact, but Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, is recorded in a hadith as having said: “War is deceit” (Bukhari 4.52.268). Is there just the slightest possibility that Tooba Gondal is being deceitful in her apology, and would continue jihad activity in Britain? Of course, but only greasy Islamophobes would consider that possibility. And given the full-court press by the British political and media elites to bring Islamic State jihadis back, Tooba Gondal is likely to be back in Britain before too long. I just hope this whole thing doesn’t blow up on them.
“Isis ‘matchmaker’ who recruited Shamima Begum begs to return to UK,” by Sam Courtney-Guy, Metro, September 29, 2019 (thanks to Paul):
A jihadi ‘matchmaker’ who allegedly recruited Shamima Begum into Islamic State has issued an apology and begged to return to Britain to face justice.
Tooba Gondal, 25, has spent a year detained in a camp in northern Syria where hundreds of ‘Isis brides’ and their children have been rounded up. She pleaded for the government to let her return with her ‘innocent’ children, who she says are frequently ill, but conceded she must be ‘held to account’ for leaving Britain to join the caliphate.
In an open letter to the British public, the former student from Walthamstow, London, said: ‘It is not just for my government to keep us here for nearly a year now.
‘I want to face justice in a British court. I wish to redeem myself. I would like Britain to accept my apology and give me another chance.’
Gondal claims she repeatedly tried to flee after travelling to Isis-held territory in 2015 but was warned her 18-month-old daughter, Asiya, and son Ibrahim, 3, would be killed if they were caught….
