'I don't regret it': British IS schoolgirl wants to return to UK for her baby

But what about her baby? Doesn't the kid deserve to grow up in the uk, away from the immediate influences of Isis?

Probably but it's not our job to take in every child in need.As far as I'm concerned she's not really British.She might have citizenship but she joined a group who would destroy the West if they could.They look down on us and regard us as inferior in every way.Its clear she never saw herself as British.Even her family saw nothing wrong with dressing her up head to toe in a burka which goes against all our values.

Why should we take her back now? The child if it survives is innocent but that's not really our fault.Its entirely his mother's fault for running off to join a terrorist group.Thats just tough luck.Nobody made her join.I'm sure there are probably hundreds of refugee kids who are decent and kind and just as deserving.Probably many of those killed in the Paris attacks were also just as deserving.

No she hasn't.So what if she was 15 so was I once.I didn't join a terror group.She can't claim ignorance of what they were doing.It was all over the news.Anyone who can watch a video of Isis burning someone alive and decide she wants to be a part of it is nothing more than human filth.She is not a victim.The victims were the people killed in terror attacks.Tell you what she can come back just as soon as she takes that bin- bag off her head.

Let's lay out the facts, shall we?

She's a British citizen. You can't revoke that citizenship without making her stateless and violating treaties we've ratified in the process. Being a British citizen, we can't block her coming back (unless we use certain other powers like Temporary Exclusion Orders).

She also deserves the right to a fair trial. If you don't give one citizen a fair trial, you might as well stop calling it a universal right.

Not to mention that her child, who is about to be born, has British citizenship as well, and hasn't done anything except have bad luck with their parentage.

However, with IS in decline, they're likely to adopt more 'traditional' methods of attack. Integrate militants back into their communities, forming undetected autonomous terrorist cells. She's a threat, plain and simple.

I'm not an expert, but terrorism does fascinate (and terrify) me. Here is my semi-informed suggestion. If she can make her way back, accept her into the country, detain her, investigate her, and ensure there are no immediate threats. When that's done, try her for membership of a proscribed organisation - that's five to ten years right there. You could add attendance at a place used for terrorist training; under the Terrorism Act 2006 that's another ten years. Take the child away, adopt it out or make it a ward of court. Enforce an order so that the child will never know who their mother is (cruel, perhaps, but necessary).
