Girl Who Fled London To Join Islamic State In Syria Feared Dead

[naomi24]

//A schoolgirl who left the UK to join Islamic State in Syria is feared to have been killed in an airstrike in the country.

Kadiza Sultana was one of three teenage girls who fled east London and entered Syria via Turkey last year.

Her family say they were hoping to get her across the border and into Turkey before she died, after she became disillusioned with life in Syria.//

Will this deter others with similarly idealistic notions?

Would be great if it deterred others, but doubt it.

I wouldn't fret about her family's feelings too much Sandy, after all wasn't the father of one of the girls who left England with her, spotted in amongst the crowd of a banned terror group rally?

Do you think that this young woman's death will provide a second's comfort to that child, or that the parents of the dead teenager will be happy to think she died supporting IS?

Life is really not that simple - 'an eye for an eye' is not an outlook for a civilised society - that is how IS think.

Highly unlikely - impressionable young people rarely look at the bigger picture, that comes with maturity and experience, which is what makes them such excellent recruits for the 'romance' of a religious war.

It would be a cold world indeed if sympathy was only meted out to those who earn it by thinking as we do, and are denied it if their view is different.

Don't be so selfish Eccles, after all no one has complained about sharing the air they breathe with you.

We all have our views Andy, I'm afraid to say that's how I feel, it's a hell of a thing when the public are afraid to go about their daily lives without the fear of getting blasted by these evils people.

15 & 17 year old schoolgirls; not even old enough to vote yet because they aren't adults. Seems remarkably harsh to have no feelings, save for hatred, towards those whose brains/minds have yet to finish maturing and who are of an age when they are vulnerable to deception and the introduction of new ideas. They were taken in by the religion based nonsense of fighting for an Islamic state and death to the infidel.

They needed an intervention to bring them back to sanity, but their family and friends apparently didn't see the growing issue: and is an earlier post is to be believe the family are now trying to scapegoat the authorities, presumably because they can't face up to their missing and preventing the problem; and are now powerless to change it.

You make ISIS sound like they have some sort of morals, andy.

The don't retaliate they strike first.

[sandyRoe]

AOG, not her father, though. Grief at the loss of a child must be as harrowing for a supporter of ISIS as it would be for anyone else.

No need to be afraid, that is a view with which I entirely agree.

My issues begin when it appears that the situation is over-simplified.

I don't believe I do - if ISIS do have a moral code, and I am sure they do, it does not equate with anything I understand, or would condone.

It's strange, had they been around at the time, some would not have rejoiced the death of Adolph Hitler.

I know that it provided not a second's comfort, not an hour's, or even a day's, but a whole lifetime of comfort to those who came through those times.

I have no idea why you periodically reference Hitler when ISIS is under discussion - there is no parallel whatsoever.

The idea that there is a comparison between a naïve schoolgirl and a fascist dictator is far too much of a stretch to be a credible point in my view.

'an eye for an eye' is not an outlook for a civilised society - that is how IS think.


So ISIS are just reacting/retaliating are they?
