ISIS girl

I agree you do need to check out charities before you donate Jalima. Some large charities are also worthwhile. Thank you Lily a really positive idea.

I'm sure there was a small charity specifically set up to help Yazidi women but it appears to have been shut down.

I was stopped by a chugger in the High Street and when I said I supported a small charity as I didn't want to support the lifestyle of the big charity bosses, he warned me, very darkly, about giving money to small charities.

However, that's what I do, others may want to give to larger well-established charities.

Thank you J. I thought it might be a nice thing after all the bitterness.

There are several charities helping Yazidi women and children although they help others who are the victims of conflict too.

Are two of the charities.

I notice there is an article in todays Guardian about a women's community for Yazidi girls/women.

What do we Grans think about some how supporting this?

Sorry I don't know exactly how to send funds and so on.

Apparently, she spent some time working as a makeshift nurse, dressing the wounds of the terrorists on their return from murdering and beheading civilians. Bless her.

Well we don’t know Gonegirl but it looked bloody awful and she looks awful, old, tired and defeated.

If her interviews don’t act as a deterrent I don’t know what will.

With a few heads in buckets just outside?

Would that not ring some warning bells that perhaps this 'ordinary life' might have a more sinister side?

Do we really think she's taken an active part in terrorism? Sounds more like she's lived the life of a housewife since she's been out there.

Are you coming back tricher to tell us who said we didn’t want to help refugees??

tricher

I too have never said that.

Perhaps you'd like to start a fund to bring her back trisher; that would be charitable.

I prefer my aid to go to the innocents in all this.

Why on earth should a cash strapped refugee camp have to look after a woman from a rich western country?
Why not? Perhaps the Kurds or the Syrian regime may decide to charge her although I would think they would want to wash their hands of her in fact.
We are supporting the refugee camps anyway. Britain has given about £1 billion in aid to the refugee camps - for those displaced by IS and by Assad. I do not know who is running the one she is in.

Interesting isn't it some of the people on here who are now so concerned about the Yazidi women are exactly the same people who have stated that we can't take in refugees from the camps because we haven't room. It seems they are now full of compassion.
I've never said that trisher and object most strongly to your post.
In fact I would go so far as to say that you should retract that.

Who said that trisher?

Who will pay for her lawyer Gonegirl? And the social services involvement for her and her child? And the court costs? And for the investigation? And, assuming she does actually get convicted; keeping her in a prison or secure unit until she's been "deradicalised"? The taxpayer? Personally, I'd rather leave her where she is and spend that money on helping those who's lives she contributed to destroying, especially the Yazidi women and children. Bring her baby back here to safety, but not her.

Why shouldn't both things happen? If a lawyer represents her through the courts, how will that take away with other things happening in Syria.

jalima

Well said agree.

Agreed.

In a word Jalima, yes.

The less time that's spent on that stupid young woman; and the more spent on those who's lives she and her cohorts contributed to ruining, the better.

Jalima1108 - totally agree

Rather than worrying too much about Shamima Begum being brought home from a refugee camp where she should be safe, should the international community not be more concerned to find the 3,000 Yazidi women and children taken as slaves by IS?

Well there is a connection I suppose.

That would be violent sadistic mysogynistic cruel Muslim men?

What is the connection between SB and the Rotherham abuse scandal please?

Who are you referring to when you say " their own"?

Is that Muslims/brown people/IS people/ Bangladeshis?

I DO NOT and never will " support" in any shape or form the vile creatures that call themselves IS
