Muslim family from UK detained in Syria claim they joined the Islamic State by accident, beg to return

They should never be allowed back in. They joined an entity that is avowedly at war with Britain and has repeatedly called upon Muslims in Britain to murder British civilians. But the British authorities are so clueless and compromised today that they will probably fall for this.

“‘HOLIDAY’ TO HELL Brit family detained in Syria claim they joined ISIS by accident while on holiday and beg to come home,” by Jon Rogers, The Sun, February 16, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A BRITISH family detained in Syria have begged to be allowed to come home, saying they joined ISIS by accident.

Mum Safiya Zaynab, 51, and daughters Shabina Aslam, 29, and Alireza Sabar, 17, say they miss their independence.

The family from Didsbury, Manchester left the UK in 2014 and thought they were on a family holiday.

According to the family, a relative told them they were going on holiday to Turkey but from there they “ended up in Syria”.

Both daughters had children while they were living within the caliphate.

Aslam told Channel 4: “I don’t regret anything because we came on holiday, which then turned into this.

“I don’t know how, it’s never been explained to me.”

They claimed they had tried to escape but had been unsuccessful.

She added: “We all miss our life before, we miss freedom, independence, no fear.

“We want to go back to England, back to my family, I want my children to have a normal life.”

Zaynab’s husband, Sabar Aslam, who is still living in Didsbury, told The Daily Telegraph: “They left me four years ago and that’s the end of the story. She wasn’t happy with me.

“They are not brave people they are very soft people. I don’t think they would be joining something like ISIS.”

“The police have interviewed me many times. They asked me questions about them but they never said they were in Syria.

“I thought she had gone to Saudi Arabia as all the time Safiya was talking about it. I thought she went there.”

[they joined the Islamic State by accident]

They got one of those mailers from a car dealer saying “Come on in and see what you’ve won!”?

I think this would make a great comedy....some naive and dimwitted wife running out on the happy-go-lucky Middle-Eastern Brit guy, and arriving in Syria at the beginning of a civil war.

The British government firmly acknowledges that every Muslim has the right to worship who they want, express their beliefs to others, and kill someone. Those who object are racists and should be executed by them.

I hate it when daughters get pregnant on holiday. Too much partying!

They thought they were buying an extended warranty on their camel.

“That happens to me every so often. Maybe a few times a week.”

Really, who among us has not occasionally inadvertently joined up with a terrorist organization for a few years, every now and then?

It is all to easy to overlook the subtle cues that life has changed somewhat as part of ISIS, from it was in a mosque in a sharia-compliant London. Often its only the poorer quality of the local fish and chips which raises peoples’ suspicions, that they are no longer living in a Western Democracy.

Reportedly, they were fearful of of leaving without their asses, but were unable to find them with both hands in the dark, to make their getaway, during those first few years.

And if Tommy Robinson makes a peep, they'll SWAT him and throw him back into durance vile.

And of course, now that there are a couple of mini-ISIS brats toddling around the UK, their terrorist fathers have to be allowed in as well. The Brits are utterly stupid.

I remember when my buddy’s now ex-wife accidentally had an affair with one of his best friends.
