Briton Tareena Shakil who took her toddler son to Syria jailed for six years for joining so-called Islamic State.

If they are not scared of dying, what would scare them?

[agchristie]

What! Another Inman called into question?

The sentence may have been the best under the circs? One for Peter Pedent to comment....

[Peter Pedant]

I still think jailing them is a bad idea

you should give them a mega phone and send them around the er ethnic areas telling the truth - forced marriages - no make up or discos - no mobiles - sort of hell on earth

[Peter Pedant]

and here I am !
no I think Ag you are gonna have to make the comment for me

[agchristie]

PP - Hmmm, I will have to take a look! Presumably, the judge will have taken the toddler into account too....

[whiskeryron]

We know that IS fighters are not afraid of death so why are they so happy to kill unarmed victims ? Do they want the world to share their happiness not to mention the virgins that we hear are freely available in death ?

"If they are not scared of dying, what would scare them?" - plenty Hoppy, research General Pershing, his solution is of course largely Myth but the idea is sound enough. http://www.snopes.com/rumors/pershing.asp

just a silly girl who no doubt thought she'd be in a dusky desert Harem as in Carry on up the Khyber being fed turkish delight all day by admiring young men. Sadly the reality didn't measure up. 6 years in one of HMHCs should give here ample thinking time. The real victim here is the child.

[agchristie]

The power and influence of online recruiters from the organisation has been such that the risk factor of being brought to justice hardly seems to come into tbe equation...

[SlackAlice]

It's quite a shame she was allowed back into the country, hopefully her passport is permanently cancelled.

[naomi24]

If "she showed no remorse and knew that her son would ultimately be used as an IS fighter", I wonder why she came back?

[agchristie]

Naomi - good point, perhaps it may reveal some prospect of her being receptive to some proper education about the folly of her actions.

We have seen that some recruits have more than a modicum of intelligence so maybe there is some hope. Of course, being jailed may harden her views when she is eventually released. Who knows?

[-Talbot-]

I surmise that the thinking is that they will never come back, so it is no deterrent at all.
I wouldn't jail her but then again I wouldn't let her back in the country.

[youngmafbog]

She probably came back to spread hate and help turn the uk into an islamic state

Plus, probably needed to sign on

[agchristie]

Talbot, I think the deterrent is more about the type of sentence one can expect if you are convicted of membership, posting messages via Twitter, Facebook,using young family members, attempting to travel etc

[-Talbot-]

I haven't read the link but anyone who chooses to go abroad to join IS should not be let back in.

[Bobsy]

Do we know where the child is now ? The BBC neglected to tell us.

[anotheoldgit]

Looks like she will be out in 3 years.

/// Sentencing her to four years for IS membership and two years, to run consecutively, for encouraging acts of terror, Mr Justice Inman said she would be entitled to release on licence after serving half her sentence. ///

/// As she was jailed, members of Shakil's family shouted that the hearing was a farce. ///

Just goes to prove the mind set of the so called peaceful Muslims.

These members of her family should have also been charged.

[Baldric]

///6 years in one of HMHCs should give here ample thinking time.///

Just seen on BBC News, she will serve 3 years.
