This is as biased as any post Ive read on this forum in my 10 year history!
Robert, please get this 'we are the good guys' out of your mind and see everything from a neutral perspective.
Shamima Begum WAS 15 , she was smuggled into Syria by a chap working for Canadian intelligence. Her and others were groomed by western intelligence so they could be trafficked to ISIS, be forcefully wed, ie raped etc etc.
Interesting you take THE WORDS of a CHILD and accept this, taking responsibility away from the good ol west.
This is like saying a 15 year old white girl wanted to get high, drunk for free and wanted to intimate relations with a grown brown man.
Children CANNOT consent in both circumstances, both were groomed but once was groomed and trafficked too.
What is worse, is UK Intel instead of demanding or working for her return, instead did a cover up for the Canadian western white brethern.
I appreciate your posts but our stance is very different, I believe all children are groomed as they are children and cannot consent , you feel only the white girls cannot consent but Begum as a child could. Its ludicrous position.
We will agree to disagree on this.
