The way the Home Office dealt with Shamima Begum and her child is a poor reflection on our society

Jess Phillips is spot on . The way the Home Office has dealt with the contentious issue of Shamima Begum does not reflect well on our traditional stance of compassion and ethical behaviour.

Jahadi slut machine

When you quarantine people with Ebola virus. What happened to our compassion?

The same question the yizadhi woman are asking about the monsters who enslaved them!

It ended here

It dies the second someone joins ISIS, Hezbollah, Hamas, Al-Qaeda, Taliban, Muslim Brotherhood, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, al-Shabaab...

We lost it , when the children in Manchester and all the other victims of IslamicState lost their lives.

It went south for ISIS and its caliphate so now we are required to have empathy, sympathy and compassion who their women and children?

It’s worn a bit thin.

We applied it to the people of the UK instead of somebody that ran off to join a Muslim death cult, somebody who considers murdering kids at a pop concert in Manchester ok, somebody who wasn’t fazed by beheading of prisoners

She doesn't want compassion. She just wants to get back to a cozy life on benefits because Syria is hard work now that they have lost the battle.

Is she asking about her own? Someone who wasn't bothered about seeing severed heads in a bin shouldn't ask others for compassion.

There is a reason why Christopher Hitchens once said, 'Distrust compassion, choose respect for yourself and other instead.'

...does not reflect well on our traditional stance of compassion and ethical behaviour. 😂😂 A what point did Britain have such a stance? Must be solely a British point of view none of the subjects of it imperialist connlquest will ever agree, more so the natives who decimated.

It must be truly horrifying for people with limited internet access to enter the global community filled with hope to discover what garbage creatures we pretend to be online. Compassion IS real and not reliably found in strident declarations or even snark but in actions

Compassion for a traitor? 🤔

Compassion is obviously there for people who need and deserve it. She only ‘needs’ it as ISIS lost, and she certainly doesn’t deserve it.

You are a terrorist! That is it.

It got its head cut off 🙃

You get nothing from Britain, you made your choice live with it or not, hopefully.

STOP giving this child the oxygen of publicity. She is a terrorist and does not deserve to come to the U.K.

Brits are cold blooded killers. You absence of compassion is reflected by ur history. Fact

It had its head cut off in the Middle East and then it was burnt by savages who threw gays off of buildings.

Is this a joke?

“Compassion”? You mean like James Foley, Ken Bigley and the others? Never mind. Bring her home. Give her lots and lots of support, love and cuddles. Ignore her continuing support for sectarian murder and torture and maybe pay her heaps for her story. Yes, that’s the answer

We didn't show very much when the death cult she willingly signed up with was enslaving, raping, torturing and murdering Yazidi women. Quite why we should start doing so now, in her case, I'm not sure.

Our compassion, sympathy and heartfelt best wishes go to the people who had their throats cut, thrown off roofs, raped and tortured by the friends, family and fellow followers of this young ladies chosen compatriots.

After facing you in battle? “Those who ask for mercy, he answered coldly, are too weak to deserve it.” Path of Destruction StarWars DarthBane

Stop giving this broad more attention.

You are kidding.

Madonna Mia! She is talking about compassion.😳

Compassion went through the window when Blair/Brown opened British borders to foreigners and expected the British Tax payer to Cloth, house and pay for them, to the detrement of our own needs.

I think it departed with the whole backing of sharia and religious genocide flavour she was going with. I know, crazy.

Bollocks! Compassion is not unlimited. She chose to run away. She chose to be banged up by hardcore ISIS fighters. She walked by removed heads in rubbish bins, a situation to actively contributed towards. VultureFood

Compassion? Look who is talking about compassion. Cutting people heads off without a care, you've forgotten?

CasaFreehold

Where’s my compassion for someone who supports a regime that wants to murder me?.....

fuq the terrorist....she deserves 0 compassion.

Nothing

What happened to theirs?

Give it a rest, will you?

About the same as the poor buggers that got their heads chopped off

The Guardians readers are bang on, what the fuck happened to the UK?! When did we turn mean?! Shamima Begum: what happened to our compassion? | Letters

Here is my take on this Situation. Shamima was Sentenced by a nasty section of the British news media.

Our compassion for people who act by their animal killing instincts? Peddle this in the bin

She's not 'one of us' the fact she joined Isis proves who her heart and mind belonged to, and it wasn't Britain. Choose Britain or bugger off.

It died when we turned on the TV and found out a toddler, a young boy just starting out was a victim of the Manchester bombing. Scumbags, she's a part of that.

IT has been dead by your Silly decision.

Stop promoting terrorists. Let her story die.

What happened to hers?

There is no compassion for those who sought to support a terrorist group and it’s warped ideology which had zero compassion only hell bent on spreading fear, brutality, torture and death, you chose that life I’m afraid

So many people taking the high morale ground whenever an article like this appears. Totally unquestioning why young people are being radicalised and not seeing why successive government foreign policies and media hate just exacerbates the problem.

Mine evaporated after the Manchester arena bomb. Q. Can you ask same question to all IS supporters and followers, thart would be fair.

Our compassion lies with the victims of Manchester, Paris, London ... it lies with the men thrown from rooftops, the victims burned alive, the women raped ... it mourns the sickening beheadings that SHE shows no remorse for. Where is YOUR compassion and integrity. You sicken me

As always the has only compassion for terrorists. Compassions should be for victims and their families

I lost all compassion when she joined a group that carried out genocide, mass rape and sold children for sex. Yes she supported this and stood by when it happened. Many ISIS wives helped makes bombs, tortured women/children as well

No compassion

What happened to yours when Enoch Powell told you multiculturalism would bring rivers of blood?

Compassion works in both directions

What happened to being contrite?........... Mashallah

...years of undemocracy...war...class systems...internet and media brain washing...uncommunity...have wrung most of us dry...

Nothing happened with mine - she was and still is this country’s citizen (for me) despite what the Home Secretary has done - he has acted without justice

Isis scum

It was beheaded by ISIS!

She chose to join a murderous regime with no regard for human life. LET HER ROT IN THE HELL SHE ADORED!!!

Stop supportinG terrorists. She didn't regret. She was CAPTURED. Otherwise she would still be killing innocents.

She’s a terrorist, she has no remorse, she must never ever be allowed back into the UK !!

Read the average comment on any feed and you will see that people find it far easier to hate, to shout for a form of vengeance and to insult. This is part of the problem as it does not address the issues. Hate plus more hate equals even more hate.

It dissipated the moment she lost her compassion. Let's be clear, if she was a man of the same age this would be a different kind of news story. Shamima Begum deserves a place in Hell as much as Myra Hindley.

I agree we need to eventually give her another chance. But we can do that only after she receives proper amount of punishment and takes responsibility of her actions.

Would one show the same sympathy to a Neo-nazi? Belonging to a regime that has created 200 mass graves of children and women must be treated carefully, with the head, the heart probably has to take second place

Pretty sure it was beheaded.

You are a joke, she said the Manchester bombings were ok she has not changed she named her child after a evil shit of a man, one day one of these persons we left back in is going to commit a terrorist act ' will you be there to tell the parents in regards to passion and UK values

Hi Shamima, or any media outlet giving her a voice and can take this back to her. Stop hurting people, stop leaching on the tragedy of NZ and stop adding fuel to the far-right fire to hurt other people. Then maybe, just maybe, you will see compassion in the UK from Syria!

It tanked with Brexit

I'll pay for the writer of this article's one way plane ticket to Syria. DM me

There is compassion but then there is pathological altruism, there are limits to understanding and forgiveness and Begum passed them and we can’t give her an ounce of sympathy. This person would happily see us dead and we aren’t willing to let people die anymore for fake virtue

Stop giving this traitor air time.

UK compassion is quite rightly on the side of those affected by terror attacks, both historical and present day worldwide.......not those who are supporting the terror attack!

Not justifying her joining the ISIS, but a muslim woman got done over by another muslim man.

30% of UK children live in poverty... That explains an awful lot. Why share what you dont have?

Got ripped apart watching ISIS and their murderous actions Got fed up of being called Inferdels, don't call people that then ask for compassion - you won't get any

It would reappear the moment she showed some genuine remorse and stopped praising acts of terror

Terrorists blew it up

Trying to hop on the feelings after NZ

O yes. Now it’s compassion. Where was the Fuken compassion when you ran away to join a terrorist organization responsible of slaughtering thousands.

If you live by the sword you should die by the sword

She doesn't deserve it!

The fightback

/ Revoking Shamima’s Citizenship does not make sense when put alongside Palestine’s Grand Muffti Whom spent War Years alongside Hitler in Germany yet when War ended The Muffti was allowed back into GB Mandate Palestine to incite murder of Jews ?

It died along side a load of kids at an Ariana Grande gig.

It is dead when you Shamima Begum stab it soul! MSM are evil! Take note with your sympathetic and emotional manipulative publication it will not work. If you have collected any money form Arab or Islamic legion return it or you will do 'Walk of Shame'

Nothing to do with compassion. She should stay there and build the life she chose. No regrets, just be responsible adult pls, thank u

It died along with people like Lee Rigby may he R I P.

The same compassion to the beheaded people thats didnt went along with Daesh. Ask them the compassion

Ended when she left

GTFO

That fact this question is asked shows how out of touch mainstream media is... the same logic which encourages girls to backback through militant Islamic countries. Feel the love doesn’t work once you leave your own front door!

I’ll save my compassion for the Yazidi women and girls, many of whom are still enslaved, and for other victims of ISIS. This woman made her own bed.

ISIS wives aren't civilian under international law, especially since most of them were armed. Even if they didn't act as 'morality' police, they carried guns around 'for protection from the local population', that makes them unlawful combatants. Syria

It left when the heads starting being cut off.

She made a big mistake by joining that group. You are no different than White Supremacy.

What happened to your common sense? Ignoramuses

Why are some people still paying attention to someone who doesn't feel any sense of guilt or regret? Like how can anyone even sympathise with her when she clearly said she 'doesn't feel fazed about seeing dead people's head in the bin.'

For terrorist members ...it has gone we hope even in the face of the lillywhite media.

I see you couldn't resist pandering to the bigots before the bodies in New Zealand even have a chance to go cold. And,yes, that's exactly what you're doing trotting out the 'bride of ISIS' for the nazi wannabes to shout insults at.

What happened to her compassion?

Compassion for terrorists? It died at Manchester, Bataclan, 9/11, 7/11 and every innocent that was shot, beheaded, burnt, drowned, crucified, crushed, blown up, mutilated, thrown off buildings and raped! They can all rot in the shithole they’ve created for themselves!

decapitations and slaughtering of Christians and Yazidis happened to it. Stupid paper.

Compassion is all well and good but what about justice for the people killed, enslaved and raped by the organisation she joined and supported?

That we allow her to live, provide her food, basic medical care and shelter in the refugee camp is compassion enough. If it was up to me she and her terrorist friends in ISIS would be executed moments after surrendering.

😞

It’s still there but not for those that join Isis.

Has anyone in labour asked why , in a time of Theresa May and brexit , they still trail in every poll 🤔

No. Just, no.

it was eaten up by Political correctness :)

Had she called for the killing of innocents? Then why the fuck are you even interviewing her and giving her a voice?!?

Not enough is said about genuinely thick people and extremism.

She cut its head off and threw it in a bin

'Begum... did not regret her decision to join ISIL. She said she had been unfazed by seeing the head of a beheaded man as he was 'an enemy of Islam'' Bit rich to ask for compassion, really.

Even more compassion is necessary? Is it not enough?

And the Guardian is pathetic insult to the intelligence of all.

compassion is for people that repent, people that honestly and truly understand that they were wrong. Apply - don't say sorry, look sorry-. In all her interviews I have not felt repention.

What happened to yours?

Are we stil on this?

Learn to live a life of compassion, then seek for oneself , this has infinite range for humanity.

It died with the minute she joined isis.

The UK didn't win WW2 with compassion it won it with might and you aren't going to win this war on terror with compassion either. The UK needs more Winston Churchill and less Owen Jones.

Compassion died when Yazidi men were gunned down and women sold and raped repeatedly as sex slaves. Have you heard of screams of those women? Have you seen faces of those helpless men who saw their women handled like sheep?

Silly, stupid lady

Home Office asked to show Shamima Begum 'mercy' over citizenshipThe Home Office has been formally asked to reconsider stripping Shamima Begum of her citizenship following the death of her son. Fuck mercy I’m sure all the people who ISIS murdered cried mercy before they where executed. If we show leniency this time we set a precedent. NO !!!! The Home Office are letting the wider population down if they give this woman her citizenship back. She left and should never be allowed to return. The risk to us all is far to great. She has shown absolutely zero remorse.

Britain's hand-wringing over Shamima Begum and her ilk suggests we've lost our moral compass.timothy_stanley: It's exasperating that the same Britain that only took a few thousand refugees compared to Germany is now debating the rescue of Ms Begum as if she is the great moral cause of our age timothy_stanley The problem is we have lost faith in our justice system. If we were confident she would come here, face trial & a STIFF sentence that doesn't get halved, I think the public would be more willing. But currently, she'd be knocking out kids on a council estate within a year. timothy_stanley The person who has lost her moral compass, is the headchopper Shamima Begum. We’re sick of your liberal view points. Start thinking about the innocent Manchester bombing child victims. Do you want more of these atrocities? timothy_stanley

Playing politics with the life of Shamina Begum's baby shames us all, Mr Javid | Jess PhillipsShamima Begum may not deserve much sympathy, but she is a UK citizen. And so was her baby We all know it is not possible to have a reasonable discussion on this. Think Guardian, and know when to stop! Nonsense. The death of the baby is a tragedy but the blame lies wholly with his mother, not the government. Who said she had a baby?! You do realise Muslims are permitted to lie to kafirs right?! Taqqyia? Kitman? And the Koran tells us ‘Allah is the greatest of deceivers.’
