Former ISIS Member Shamima Begum Loses UK Citizenship Appeal
2023-02-23
Good.
[NPASyria] A judge ruled on Wednesday that UK citizenship would not be restored to the former British national of Bangladeshi descent. Begum joined the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) in Syria at age 15. She was stripped of her British citizenship by the UK Home Secretary in 2019.

Since the fall of the ISIS caliphate, Begum has been held in various camps run by the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES). Currently, she is held at Roj camp, which holds around 2.600 former ISIS members. A majority are foreign nationals. The AANES has repeatedly called for their repatriation.

Since her arrest in 2019, Begum has repeatedly appealed against the UK government’s decision and asked to be repatriated in order to challenge it in person. Human rights groups say the government’s move was illegal, as it left Begum stateless.

Begum has received widespread media attention in Europe. Most recently, she was the subject of a BBC documentary film and a podcast series. Since her arrest, the now-23-year-old has denounced ISIS and said she regrets her decision to join the holy warrior group.

#1  ISIS was supported by Britain, Israel, US and literally all of the Gulf and Turkiye at one point. This proves they always ditch their useful idiots when no longer convenient and are perennially perfidious and untrustworthy. Saddam Hussein was once a US "ally". Bin Ladin was a C.I.A "asset" once. The Taliban were also US "allies". The Kurds will get ditched. Ukrainians too. Taiwanese. You get the drift. Flirting with these snakes is a very BAD idea in the first place. No wonder why they prey on desperation.

Don't forget Lawrence of Arabia. Duplicity and treachery is the bread and butter of Anglo American satanic elites
