The ISIS Teenager<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Debate<\/span> has raged over whether a 19 year\u00a0old<\/span>\u00a0girl should be allowed to return to the UK after living with ISIS.<\/span><\/p>\n

Social media tweeting\u00a0by British Asians is<\/span>\u00a0mixed over the vexed question of ISIS supporters\u2019 right of return.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some argue no, and perhaps don\u2019t want to be seen associating themselves with a branch of Islam which has nothing to do with their own beliefs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Establishment view seems to be she is somehow a threat after becoming politically radicalised<\/span>\u00a0after reaching Syria.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although perhaps she was already so before she even left home?<\/span><\/p>\n

We should remember that Britons have fought as mercenaries in many past conflicts.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the <\/span>1930s<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>volunteer battalions were recruited to fight on both sides during the Spanish civil war.<\/span><\/p>\n

During WWI the Royal Family had to ditch their <\/span>German sounding surname and adopt the current one of Windsor.<\/span><\/p>\n

The German Kaiser was a grandson of Queen Victoria and an Admiral in the British Royal Navy. Many of the upper classes had intermarried with cousins in each other\u2019s countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

But they were following a well-established principle that one could support one side or the other, but not both.<\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed this was recorded back in Simon de Montfort\u2019s times in 13th<\/sup> century England.<\/span><\/p>\n

The French king had grown tired of having his Norman nobles traveling between their lands in England and France, with their loyalties divided.<\/span><\/p>\n

So he insisted they swap their estates around and in future stay one side of the Channel or the other. They had to decide whether they were English or French.<\/span><\/p>\n

In more recent times, perhaps the case of William Joyce is of interest. In 1940 he crossed to wartime Germany and joined their propaganda ministry becoming known as the infamous \u2018Lord Haw Haw\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1945 he was arrested and charged with treason. He claimed he was born in Eire and therefore a neutral. Yet the Court held as he\u2019d once applied for a British passport he was a British subject. He was subsequently hanged.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, surely there is nothing wrong in just visiting another country?<\/span><\/p>\n

After all, Britain is not at war with Syria, and if the teenager currently in the spotlight, was simply experiencing a different way of life, should it be any different if she\u2019d visited an Israeli kibbutz?<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s what she in did in Syria that really counts.<\/span><\/p>\n

If she was involved in any atrocity against ISIS prisoners, then she deserves to be extradited to Syria to answer for crimes committed in that country.<\/span><\/p>\n

If however, she took part in firing on forces of the British Crown, why should she be spared treason\u2019s tree?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
