3 British ISIS brides that flew into Syria reportedly on the run from their husbands

    http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/isis-british-teenage-jihadi-brides-said-be-run-husbands-iraq-1500997?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ibtimesuk

    Three London schoolgirls who ran away to the Middle East to become "Jihadi brides" are on the run from their husbands in the Iraqi city of Mosul, it is being reported.

    Shamima Begum, Amira Abase and Kadiza Sultana ran away from home in February and were seen on CCTV at a UK airport and in Turkey before slipping over the border into Syria.

    Since arriving in Isis-controlled territory, Amira posted a Tweet including a photograph of takeaway food and the caption 'dawla takeaway w/ @um_ayoub12'. The message seemed to imply the girls were enjoying life in the Middle East.

    However, it has now been claimed by an anonymous blogger called "Mosul Eye" that three British girls, possibly the three London girls, are trying to escape their husbands - and possibly Isis (also known as Isil or Islamic State).


    I should probably feel more sympathetic than I do, but you reap what you sow, make your bed and lie in it, etc. Schadenfreude.

    Murderous jihadis don't make sensitive, caring husbands. Who'd have thunk it?

    Feel a bit sorry for these girls, if it is them; their idealistic naiveté has landed them in some very hot water indeed.

    Internet savvy? So they could use Facebook and Twitter?

    They clearly didn't know what they were getting into, hence the being on the run bit.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,570 ✭✭✭Mint Aero


    Utter idiots. If they do make it back. I trust the British government will have them locked up and rightly so.

    Or they deluded themselves. Either way, tough.

    Utter morons. I'd have little sympathy. At 16 you're old enough to have enough cop on to realise jetting off to a warzone to marry some bloodthirsty zealot is not a great idea. This is Darwinism at work.

    At 16 they did. They knew what ISIS was, everyone does, the atrocities they commit, filming beheadings and putting them online etc. Those girls made a conscious choice. Being young and stupid goes so far. They made their bed, good luck to them. My sympathy ended when it was reported they had crossed into IS controlled territory.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,246 ✭✭✭✭Riamfada


    Ah the things I used to get away with when I was 16. Smoking behind the shed in school, sharing a single can of larger between 5 of us in the field, hiding that "cholocate salty balls" CD from my mother, joining a bad of murderous, rapist religious fundamentalists. Its crazy the things we used to do at 16. Live and learn I guess.

    I totally agree. But I'm not going to take any pleasure in the situation they now find themselves in, like the OP.

    Still baffled as to why any self-respecting female would see any appeal in the Muslim faith.

    im sorry...but no sympathy. They should be fed to the animals that they ran away and joined....oh wait they, they have been. Enjoy your sweet rewards from Allah girls.

    Thankfully no Irish people have ever been stupid, dangerously reckless and easily seduced by a manipulative war machine, so we can gleefully wallow in their comeuppance.

    They should not under any circumstances be let back into the UK. This could all be a plan to get back and work for ISIS. I can't imagine it would be that easy to escape from where they were for one person let alone 3. Something isn't right. They should not be trusted.

    Oh god yes, more, say more!

    But hurry though, my mother will be home soon and I don't want her catching me during my daily "joy in misery" ****.

    She wouldn't understand like we do.

    The best thing that can happen is they end up back in the UK, and have a tearful interview with Lorraine or similar TV figure.

    If they have broken a UK law then let the court decide their punishment.

    Some here sound as bad as the crowd they're running away from.

    Aw come on lads: sixteen? who the hell is mature at 16?
    Silly, naive, gullible, rash, inexperienced, and idealistic. That's your typical 16-yr-old.

    It was a foolish and unwise and regrettable thing they did, with their wild adventure: but let us not damn them to jail for their idiotic choices. They thought it was a noble thing to do. and they know different now.

    Let us hope that they can be extricated safely by their worried and furious parents, and that they learn by their mistake. Like teenagers do. As we all did.
    Cripes, if we all had to live forever with our teenage poor choices!! -'nuff said: let the real adults be mature about this and hope this helps those three lassies to grow up!

    They can have their passports confiscated surely, didn't Cameron bring that anti terror law in a few months back?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,074 ✭✭✭pmasterson95


    I dont remember joining a group of murderous terrorists thinking this will be a great bit of fun. Yes younger people make mistakes. Not many run off to join and marry a pack of bloodthirsty terrorists. But yeah lets focus on how they were "innocent"

    Let's keep that for people who are under the age of 12. At 16 they knew damn well what has happening in Syria and they also knew what Islamic State was. To say otherwise is insulting to 16 year olds.

    Even if the British government repatriate them, their lives won't be worth living. From tabloid newspapers to hate mobs, they will never be able to re-integrate quietly.

    Eh, we do. Most of us just manage not to make such poor decisions at 16.

    There are plenty of single mothers out there living with the consequences of getting pregnant at 16, plenty of young men stuck in menial jobs or on the dole line because they left school at 16 to go work on the sites, thousands doing jobs they hate because they made poor choices on their CAO or chose not to study for their leaving cert etc.

    If the parents can afford to launch a rescue mission then I wish them well but I wouldn't think it fair to expect the British tax-payers to fund one.

    There's a big difference in sheer idiocy between a teenager, say, experimenting with drugs and a teenager flying into a war zone with the intention of marrying a terrorist whose idea of fun is beheading people.

    So we lower the age at which one can legally enter into a contract to 15 then?

    Ah yes, the old "the irish are just as bad" argument which apparently means no irish person can ever make a scathing comment or negative observation about anything that happens in the world ever because at some time in the past another completely unrelated irish person may have done something similar.
