ISIS Bride’s Father Supports Stripping Her Citizenship and Banning Her From UK

Epoch Times: The father of remorseless ISIS bride Shamima Begum said he is “on the side of the government” in its decision to strip his daughter of her British citizenship.

Ahmed Ali, 60, spoke to The Daily Mail saying, “I know they [the British government] don’t want to take her back, and in this, I don’t have a problem. I know she is stuck there [in Syria] but that’s because she has done actions that made her get stuck like this,” Ali added, who spoke to the news outlet from his home in northeastern Bangladesh.

Shamima Begum, meanwhile, spoke to The Sunday Telegraph at the al-Hol camp in Syria where she is staying with her newborn son, saying: “They are making an example of me. I regret speaking to the media. I wish I had stayed low and found a different way to contact my family. That’s why I spoke to the newspaper.”

She admitted, however, that she had benefited from extraordinary treatment at the camp due to the international exposure.

“They gave me my own tent. They’re being a bit nice to me right now because I’m all over the news.”

Begum ran away from London at the age of 15 with two friends to join the self-proclaimed “caliphate” of the ISIS terror group. Heavily pregnant, she surfaced several weeks ago at the al-Hol refugee camp after fleeing a losing battle against Western allies’ push to break the jihadi grip on Baghouz, the terror cult’s final stronghold in the region.  more

  1. while I agree with the father’s conclusion, he is no work of art himself.

    “…60-year-old Ahmed Ali migrated to the United Kingdom with Begum’s mother, who is also Bangladeshi, in the 1970s, but now splits his time between Britain and his native country, where he keeps a second wife.
    Ali was tracked down at his Bangladeshi home…”

    He has dual citizenships, and two different wives (at least). I don’t think he assimilated very well to western culture, but he certainly appears to benefit from it.
    And people wonder how the daughter was influenced to radicalization? I think it started in her childhood home.
