British girls off to Syria to become jihadi brides – parents should lock up their passports

#JihadiBrides #WilliamHague #passports #ISIS Three teenage British girls are believed to be trying to go to Syria to become jihadi brides and William Hague has reportedly advised parents of all such girls who are at risk of being radicalized to confiscate their passports. That could act as a deterrent and stop them from travelling to join Islamic State.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 21 February 2015.
William Hague feels the families have a ‘big responsibility’ to spot signs that their loved ones are preparing to join jihadists in Iraq and Syria and has called for tougher laws to intercept online messages.
These developments have come after the families of Shamima Begum, and Amira Abase, both 15-year-olds and 16-year-old Kadiza Sultana reported that the girls are feared to have fled Britain to join ISIS – the parents have pleaded with them not to cross the border into Syria. They are believed to have reached Istanbul.
The comments of William Hague have come against the backdrop of Inspire, a Muslim women’s human rights group, that has urged schools to take suitable action to tackle the ‘romanticized notion’ of ISIS that is being presented to young people to win them over through propaganda.
As the head of Inspire has admitted – the girls are getting all their information online. The information is glorified and romantic and gives a wrong impression that it is one big happy family out there which is certainly not the case. Hence the proposal to keep passports of the daughters under lock and key.
