...show her humanity

AlONG with millions of other Muslims in the UK, I find Daesh (IS) and the ideology of terrorism to be evil and anathema to the peaceful teachings of Islam.

That much is simple, but what is complex is the repatriation of people such as Shamima Begum. Each case should be assessed individually.

In Shamima’s case, we should let her come back to the UK as she wants to, out of humanity and sympathy for her child, who had no part to play in all of this.

If the authorities find that the mother has committed crimes, she should be charged and prosecuted. Even if she hasn’t committed a crime, she should still be carefully monitored by the authorities for signs of extremist behaviour.

The safety of our country must be a priority for all of us.

What sets us apart from the evil of Daesh is our humane approach to even the worst of criminals.
