What did she say in the documentary?, was there any point to the programme ?.

I saw a few seconds online where she was seemingly blaming all the hatred towards her on the MEDIA

There are definitely worse ways to pass a Wednesday evening so I enjoyed watching it but at the end of the day Shamima knows what she did. She basically got caught up with the wrong crowd (all three girls, mind, were seemingly just normal, even good/intelligent, students until they got ISIS-indoctrinated) and ended up making the biggest mistake of her life by going over to Syria as a 15-year-old, getting married to an older guy and losing two (or three; I can’t even remember how many times she said she got pregnant while she was with him) of her kids. I do sympathise with her but it is kind of hard to believe that she seriously had no idea what ISIS was truly about when she first signed up and wasn’t able to take any cue whatsoever from the news/media about the dangers of it just because she was a teenager. But at the end of the day none of us really know her so it’s hard to say. I just know that I wouldn’t like to have been her during those years.

One thing about Shamima that’s definitely kept is her social awkwardness. She didn’t seem like she could even get a sentence out without stuttering but nonetheless she’s obviously quite intelligent and articulate besides that. Not really trying to offer her any other praise after what she did but it’s safe to say she’s glown up a bit and she isn’t exactly stupid (which is why she should’ve known better).

Not praise but facts are she was groomed and radicalised online as a 15 year old, I don't believe at that age she could possibly have a real understanding of what she was doing/taking on

I agree.

You wouldnt punish a 15yr old who ran away to meet the person who groomed them online.

Shes probably been punished enough and should be brought home imo.

If isis was still in control of the areas that they held and she was still with them, she would happily cut your throat.

She is telling people what they want to hear, she has no remorse.

It’s like murderers or sex attackers that convince the parole board they are sorry

Be better off if she had a bullet in her head like so many others.

Could easily have been a choice....cut the throat, or you get stoned to death.

I believe the whole thing has effed her head up , but I agree that she was radicalised & brainwashed...but she still must have known this was wrong or atleast dangerous on some level. She was 15 not 9 so yeah .

Especially when isis was all over the news at the time aswell.
