3 Should governments allow ISIS brides to return home as citizens? BACKGROUND INFORMATION Read this carefully. It may help you to answer some of the questions. What should be done about the women who joined and married Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) fighters? It’s estimated that as many as 1,000 Western women from countries like The United States and United Kingdom (UK) may have left their home countries to join the ISIS, but recent ISIS military losses in Syria have left them homeless. Now, some women who left the West to join ISIS are seeking to return home. Shamima Begum from UK, was just 15 when she travelled to Syria in 2015 and became an ISIS bride by marrying an ISIS fighter. Shamima, now 19 and nine months pregnant with her third child, is living in a refugee camp in northern Syria after fleeing ISIS. She claims to have had a change of heart and ask to be allowed back into her home country. Her case and many others sparked a debate in the UK, USA and other European capitals as to whether a young woman with an ISIS fighter's child should be left in a war zone to fend for herself. Study the following sources to find out whether ISIS brides should be allowed to return to their home country as citizens. Source A A cartoon posted by an American blogger on his website, February 2019. *Hoda Muthana is an American citizen who travelled to Syria to become an ISIS bride. I want to go home to America, where I belong. I’m wiping my hands off ISIS… Blood

4 Source B A comment made by a Professor of Criminology at Birmingham City University, The United Kingdom, February 2019. Source C An extract from an interview with the US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, on USA Today, March 2019. Source D An excerpt from an interview with ISIS bride Lisa Smith, who left Ireland to join ISIS in 2016. Hoda Muthana is a terrorist. She put American soldiers’ lives at risk. You ask the family members, those soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines all across the world, who were serving, trying to take down the threat from radical Islamic terrorism. ... We’ve lost American lives. And this woman chose to use her lif e to try and kill those people. I know she was just a young teenager when she joined ISIS. She may no t have the maturity to make important choices. But that should not be an excuse. She still committed heinous and violent war crimes and she may continue doing so on American soil. If we do allow her to return to America, we can’t guarantee with certainty t hat she will not be a danger to others or radicalise other Americans. That is a risk that we simply can’t take. You can't blame me for what the ISIS has done. Since I came here I have seen that no one has any real understanding of Islam. I didn't know what I was getting into when I joined ISIS and I was hoping that for the sake of me and my child, they could let me come back. I’m frightened that my child would die like my other children if I stay on. When I went to Syria, I was just a housewife for the entire four years - stayed at home, took care of my husband, took care of my kids. I never did anything dangerous, made propaganda nor encouraged people to come to Syria. I didn't even realise some of the brutal acts being carried out. When Shamima Begum travelled to Syria, she was just 15 years old. She was too young to vote, give consent or make any life -altering decisions. In other words, she was a vulnerable British child, and the state failed to protect her. The UK still has a duty of care towards Shamima and many others like her who are now facing the consequences of decisions they took as children. If Shamima is not allowed to return, she may be forced back into another terrorist group and become a real security threat. But if she comes home, there would be a chance for her rehabilitation. She can face a fair trial, if found guilty of any crime, and pay her dues to the society. W ith the help of social services she can one day be integrated back to the community and be a productive member of society.
