Shamima Begum

Did I even say that? I said she confessed in an interview that she didn't regret having children. Give your head a serious wobble.

Yes, you did. You said she wasn't raped because she "willingly" had children with a 25 year old man when she was 15.

You said it explicitly. "Wasn't raped. Had children willingly".

If you think that being willing means a child under the age of consent can't be raped then you shouldn't be giving out lectures on the morality of Shamima Begum.
 
I don't honestly know, and neither do you, but I believe she deserves a chance to repent and redeem herself after a suitable period of punishment.
Nope, which is the point. So i'm taking the advice from those who do. My own personal judgement of the character of Begum is based on her comments she has given in recent interviews. I saw no remorse, she was only upset that IS ended and that she had been caught.

My only wish is that justice prevails.
 
Some people can, she has shown no willingness to do so. The Home Office and MI5 also agree this to be the case.

People are justifying her actions when they say she was 'groomed' and that she 'didn't know what she was doing'. She wasn't. She either was groomed, and therefore didn't commit a crime and has no reason to be returned because now as an adult she DID confess to committing crimes in Syria and must therefore face trial there, OR she WASN'T groomed, but hasn't committed any crimes in Syria but was complicit and has shown no remorse for her actions since, indicating she's a terror threat.

Why people keep ignoring the fact that Shamima has confessed she was complicit, rejected her UK citizenship status and wasn't groomed into doing any of it, only suggests there is another agenda at play by people on here. I seek that the Kurds and Yazidis get their justice; the issue of Begum is no longer our concern.
This is all missing the point. It's not up to bluemoon to judge her complicity or state of mind based on media reporting or even on security service assessments.

It's that those issues are part of the case for her appeal against the SIAC decisions. And she is unable to make an effective appeal. The only issue is whether it's reasonable to deny her her legal right to an effective appeal.

As the appeal court judge put it,

"The circumstances in which Ms Begum left the UK and remained in Syria and whether she did so of her own free will should be irrelevant to the question of the legal and procedural consequences of SIAC’s conclusion that she cannot have a fair and effective appeal. Furthermore, I would be uneasy taking a course which, in effect, involved deciding that Ms Begum had left the UK as a 15 year old schoolgirl of her own free will in circumstances where one of the principal reasons why she cannot have a fair and effective appeal is her inability to give proper instructions or provide evidence. One of the topics that could be explored on her appeal before SIAC is precisely what were the circumstances in which she left the UK in 2015, but that could only properly be determined after a fair and effective appeal."

The thread has divided between those who don't want to prejudge that aspect of her case and those who have prejudged it.

Ahh so that's what you're doing now. You're losing your shit and inventing things I didn't even say.

Funny though, that you accept that fact but ignore the fact she says she wasn't groomed, did things willingly, does not regret her actions, yet you don't believe you're inventing something about her to justify her as a victim. Wasn't raped, got married willingly, wanted to have children.
That's the quote. I'm quoting her own statements.

That's the quote.

Yes. The first bit is stupid beyond belief, as if a victim of grooming can never be in denial of what's happened or defend their abuser, and the second bit you've bolded is you justifying statutory rape.

Wasn't raped, got married willingly, wanted to have children.

This is something you said. No one is inventing anything by pointing out how disgusting it is.

You know that for certain, do you?

I'm judging her on her comments and character, now as a 21 year old woman who shows no remorse or regrets for her actions and comfortably states she did so on her own judgement and accord. MI5 believes she would be a security risk. The second bolded bit was a summary of her statements, not my own opinions, but I suppose when you're blinded with rage you tend not to think rationally.
 
The age of consent under ISIS is 9. Are we going to judge them by their standards or ours?
I’m not judging anybody. Just pointing out that ages of consent vary by country. ISIS are a criminal cult so their age of consent is irrelevant. It’s the age of consent of the sovereign state where they occupy that should be the governing factor. I’m more bothered about upholding the law in whatever jurisdiction rather than making emotive judgments based on fuck all. That is why pretending we have the right to stop her coming here is wrong as is applying the U.K. age of consent to another country.

This is very simple. Do you think a 15 year old child can consent to sex and marriage and having children with a 24 year old. Yes or No?

No fake quotes, no "summarising her statements", yes or no?
