No ,that she was nothing more than a housewife and didn’t take part in any terrorist activities!Is the lie that she was trafficked?
I thought this was discussed on this thread already and that the trafficker has been known for a while now. Plus it’s not like she could freely enter the country. That and being 15, possibly groomed (depends how one views it obviously), told to get married to someone and have sex with them… you see where it’s going. So I’m not really seeing the lie, if anything it’s just following the legal reasoning argument which is based on facts from her POV
It seems to be based on what other people have been saying and hasn't been verified from what I understand though I don't doubt it is true. And anyway, does the legal argument rest on that? I think it's hard to deny she's a potential threat to national security in general given that she spent so much time with ISIS and was probably brain washed by just being there anyway or she genuinely just believed all the bad stuff herselfNo ,that she was nothing more than a housewife and didn’t take part in any terrorist activities!

Don’t you think it’s puts a different perspective on things if she’s a trained terrorist v a simple housewife groomed for sexual favoursIt seems to be based on what other people have been saying and hasn't been verified from what I understand though I don't doubt it is true.

Also I saw that the second season of the podcast I'm Not a Monster which follows Shamima's story is out in case anyone else is interested. The first season was pretty good and also focused on a woman who ran off to ISIS. Anyway, the producer apparently communicated with her for more than a year during the making of the podcast so it may be interesting to hear
As I said, whatever she did it's hard not to argue that she's a danger to security purely because she was involved with ISIS - even to be a housewife you'd have had to agree with their ideologyDon’t you think it’s puts a different perspective on things if she’s a trained terrorist v a simple housewife groomed for sexual favours![]()
Said she carried a gun, so I don’t think it’s too strong to think she’d use it, she seems to make pretty free in that camp compared to the other women maybe she’s someone with a lot of clout that they fearAs I said, whatever she did it's hard not to argue that she's a danger to security purely because she was involved with ISIS - even to be a housewife you'd have had to agree with their ideology
I also think that 'trained terrorist' is a bit strong of a phrase for someone who worked for the morality police - which seems to be based on shouting at women for not following rules - or sewing bombers into suicide vests. The only real danger with that is that she has the potential to radicalise others
This stems from a podcast which has done a good job giving both sides of the story before and investigating the validity of claims being made. I wouldn't totally dismiss it yetAnd she’s back again. Same pattern. A “poor ordinary girl“ interview every few months to make sure she remains a cause celebre
You don’t become a religious bigot in isolation or by being “groomed on the internet”, which is the latest catch all term for avoiding responsibility for one’s actions. The device you log onto the internet is simple data in data out machine. You don’t get access to extremist tit without searching for it.I hadn't listened to the podcast before, I have just started on the second series, I don't really get it. She says her mum took her to the bus stop (unlesss I have misunderstood) and didn't say anything as she went away... does this sound like a mother letting a child go to a study group? It sounds like a disappointed mother knowing what their child was doing but begrudgingly supporting them surely? I do not at all agree with her citizenship being taken away but it seems liek her family have had a huge influence on her and partly explains her actions
This is where grooming does come in though. These people aren't going to be throwing you into the deep end straight away as that would scare people off very quickly. Even watching extremist videos (such as beheadings) by themselves isn't going to really do anything, there has to be some sort of precedent for you to actively agree or not care with what is being doneYou don’t get access to extremist tit without searching for it.
“Both sides of the story“ implies a debate is possible on equal terms. Just out of curiosity what exactly is the pro-position for an organisation which practised religious bigotry, sexual enslavement, and summary execution? Are these things now “on the table”?This stems from a podcast which has done a good job giving both sides of the story before and investigating the validity of claims being made.

There’s the debate that she has been groomed into this and is still stuck in that mindset. That’s literally what the whole argument with her has been about whether or not people agree or disagree“Both sides of the story“ implies a debate is possible on equal terms.

“Groomed”, “trafficked”, “unwitting”, “just another victim”. All highly emotive words and phrases designed specifically to minimise her personal responsibility for the decisions she made.There’s the debate that she has been groomed into this and is still stuck in that mindset.

The first season focuses on a mother and her kids leaving for ISIS. The mothers argument (from memory, there may be some extra stuff) was basically that she didn’t know and then had no choice and had spent time imprisoned. The podcast explored that a bit and revealed some extra information that the mother hadn’t been as willing to share as well as exploring the validity of her claims that she was in detention
