It is absolutely disgusting of this man to compare the grooming gang victims in the UK to these girls. It's a false comparison and he should be utterly ashamed of himself. So morally repugnant. Also, there's no mention at all of what she was surrounded by at home in London in her family and immediate social circles. There must have been extremist sympathies and supporters around her in her everyday life. I don't buy for one second that this was purely a case of online grooming.

[@ilovemishty]

R Baker i know many girls who grow up with a similar background and similar families. The problem lies with a lack of education within the religion they are brought up with. Then online these girls become curious and are strayed through this level of radicalisation. I believe the family are responsible for this however they definitely are not terrorists who put her up to this lol or encouraged it. I just think its unfortunate they have not communicated enough with this child and it disgusts me that these families neglect their children’s upbringing and rely upon their older siblings to look after them. This is a result of just bad parenting. I don’t agree with anything she has done it is disgraceful, however I think there is something deeper going on with her ment health and well being, which should of been noticed before she left and plot herself in a dangerous situation.

[@amazonpissbottle]

SAM SAID you are bang on. Her family is complicit. Critical thinking and curiosity is slapped out of Muslim children so her fundo tendencies were nurtured by the family. It’s impossible that they didn’t spot her extremist opinions. They probably shared them. I think she should be brought back and tried for high treason like lord haw haw.

Leave her there. And send her family from the UK to Syria to look after her. They are complicit in this. Someone bought her ticket. And if they honestly didn’t know, then let that be an example to every Muslim parent that doesn’t know what their kids are doing online. But seriously, her Muslim parents knew. Send them all! Reunite the entire family... in Syria!

If Shamima Begum is a victim and was groomed into doing what she did, then the same has to be said of the James Bulger killers...don't be silly. Just as the 10 year old killers were blamed and (sort of paid for their crimes) the same situation should be placed on people who fight against freedom.

[@xXTheBl4ckC4tXx]

If you compare this to grooming, then in my opinion you make light of real victims of grooming. She was ok with people who kill. Not even occasionally, but as their only step of action. If you can be ok with that you are definetly dangerous. Seeing her speak makes it obvious that she is extremely dangerous and would just continioue supporting ISIS when she is in the UK. This is a lost cause. Everyone she would raise, would also have a extremely high probability of joining ISIS. The child is innocent, but if it has a right to be british is questionable. Still britain is nice enough to probably take take of it even though it is a child of terrorists.

In law, treason is criminal disloyalty to the state. It is a crime that covers some of the more extreme acts against one's nation or sovereign. This usually includes things such as participating in a war against one's native country, attempting to overthrow its government, spying on its military, its diplomats, or its secret services for a hostile and foreign power, or attempting to kill its head of state. A person who commits treason is known in law as a traitor.[1] UK law for treason is life in prison.
