I have been previously against allowing Shamima Begum to return back to England, but having read this article - which in turn relates to a film called 'The Return', available on SKY and NOW TV (which I can't get). I have to say I have had a change of mind.

If you haven't been dibbing into the TLS you should, if you so wish, be able to read this short article & if you do, what do you think?

It’s a pity the focus is all in one person . Khandro’s link is about the refugee situation in general. And quite rightly the consequences of leaning these people in such conditions. Even the Americans have been appalled at the situation and what appears a “head in sand” attitude by Britain, It’s hard to see how any of this makes us safer

american attitudes to reurning islamists

accounting of Americans who traveled to
join jihadist groups in Syria and Iraq since 2011. It identifies 64 travelers, the largest available sample to date.

clearly the Land of the Free didnt send many and they can afford to be sniffy. We have a few hundred ( as does netherland, France)

as far as I can see they arent welcoming their own back but finger pointing that those that have large numbers
This woman and her ilk, and those who sympathise with them would do well to heed the words of Julius Caesar when he crossed the Rubicon: alea iacta est (the die is cast, there is no return).
chrissakes - Julius Cheeza was crossing the Rubicon,
and planning to enslave the People of Rome,
nothing to do with allowing people to return

Assyria provincia delenda - - melius verbum
( like Carthago delenda est - yeah/)

I prefer
αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ ἐντολὴ ἡ ἐμὴ, ἵνα ἀγαπᾶτε ἀλλήλους καθὼς ἠγάπησα ὑμᾶς.

Get real, khandro!
No. It has to be that if you choose to go, then there's no coming back.

Why is it that anyone who displays a scrap of humanity on AB is immediately classed as a "bleeding heart liberal"?

There is a world of difference between humanity and stupidity and to take her back in any circumstances would be the latter
maybe smallpox or cholera will wipeout the whole camp.
Well done, Khandro, I'm impressed. This is one of those very rare times on AB where someone has the courage to admit they have changed their view. It doesn't really matter what their view was before or after, we all have our opinions on what's right and wrong, but having the courage to say you've changed your mind is a rarity!

I wonder what these women would have been saying if ISIS had succeeded in its aims?
Question Author
'Her [Mrs Jack's] comments come as Germany and Denmark repatriated 11 women and 37 children from the same camp [as Begum] with German Foreign Minister Heiko Mass saying the children bore no responsibility for their situation.

"It is right that we do everything to make possible for them a life in safety and a good environment," he added.' D.T.
