[Bazile]

They are married to jihadists .
How likely is it that those jihadists , are going to allow them to return home ?

Not very likely , is my guess

[SlackAlice]

Hopefully we can follow Austria's example and prevent 'jihadists' returning.

[lady-janine]

how likely is it that they would have access to untraceable phones? surely this has been done with their husbands knowledge and then once back what sort of problems could they cause?

[janbee]

They shouldn't be allowed back. They are our enemies, male , female, young, old... whatever !

[Zeuhl]

How do we distinguish between the 'bad jihadists' and the people who went to fight Assad's regime when it was tantamount to UK foreign policy and Hague was offering them 'assistance'?

[flump1]

Isn't hindsight wonderful ?

[sandyRoe]

Or these impressionable teenagers who must have learned a salutary lesson is Syria.

May well be - i daresay that if they were alllowed back in then they would be watched more intently , than an episode of Eastenders

[beegeebee]

Wait 'til they ask for their husbands to be given entry to Britain because of their 'right to a Family Life'

[Zeuhl]

the claim for a 'right to a Family Life' doesn't actually work that way beegee

but I'm guessing you were joking

[B00]

Why would they want entry to Britain? They're Austrian!

[Svejk]

so was hitler.
I said that once?

[Henrietta]

Well it's certainly refreshing to see peoples attitudes towards teenagers making a horrible mistake.

Haven't any of you made mistakes during your teenage years? Drugs? Booze? pregnancy? Hanging with a bad crowd and being arrested? Have you since changed your life? Should you have been punished for the rest of your life for that one mistake?

Personally I would hope that these girls ARE let back into Austria and then can go to schools maybe giving talks about their mistakes and why others should NEVER join gangs/terrorist groups.

Wouldn't that be a better "Sentence" that they might stop others going down the wrong path?

[Svejk]

if you get pregnant its unlikely you'll explode next to me on the subway.

[jim360]

It's a stupid, foolish and awful mistake these girls, and other youngsters like them, have made. But I wouldn't want to see them be refused any chance at redemption. Wanting to return is, surely, a step towards that redemption.

[Baldric]

Jan @ 1514, the ones in the OP are Austrian, wanting to return to Austria!

[Henrietta]

Exactly Jim360. Everyone is entitled to make stupid mistakes when they're younger as we learn from our mistakes.

I wonder if those that came down hard on these girls would feel as strongly if these girls where their daughters/Nieces or grandchildren.

[B00]

Already said that at 17.15 Baldric...

[B00]

17.51 rather

[Dee Sa]

serves them right, they knew what they were doing, let them be a lesson to any other stupid young girls who want to follow suit.
I hope they are not going to let any similar situation british girls back because then you and I will have to pay to keep them and their jihad offspring.
