End of the day she was a child who got groomed online by an organisation who’s MO is to select vulnerable young people, who are isolated in their faith, isolate them further, coach them through leaving their families, and impress on them that the only righteous way is their way. Then she has lived through a war, lost two children, and ended up in a refugee camp pregnant. Plus she’s been living in a society where any expression of reflection or regret is profoundly seen as against God.
Stick her in front of the cameras of the West and she appears like the odd, dislocated kid that she is. De-radicalisation will take months or years. Not believing something after you’ve known it to be true- that takes time and exposure to another reality.
We should take her back because she is a UK citizen and our responsibility, but also out of mercy. I think that’s my view now.
