A new appeal today, the answer is no.

Is this fair or should we forgive her?

Where is the evidence of all these young men coming back to the uk? If they had it would have been under the radar.
I do know that 2 members of a group who were known as the Beatle's were handed over to the USA.

I seem to remember that SB was married to a Muslim originally from the Netherlands. Does anyone know if they are still married? They had 3 children who all died, did he die fighting ? Or is he still alive ? I’ve never heard anything about him for years. The reason I mention this is because under Islamic law the husband’s nationality and religion will always supersede his wife’s.

Her husband is Dutch and in a Syrian prison. Islamic law isn't relevant.

This young woman made some very bad choices as a teenager - as indeed do many of us - and is paying a high price.

*That's an understatement, bad choices made as a teenager ha, well I don't think I ever thought of joining a terrorist group, did you? *

I did not - but I was brought up in a completely different culture.

She lived in UK. Same country as you.

Within the same country ethnic diversity means different experiences (benefits/threats). I was raised in a religion different to one parent and their family, their families lives and mine were a world apart despite living in the same country.
