The following is my answer to a Quora question: “Did
the UK fail groomed Islamic State bride, Shamima Begum?”
We can argue that the UK government has failed a great
many people. It has failed the working
poor, the homeless, the chronically ill, the middle class, minorities and so
many sections of society. How many of
them decided to run to another country to wage war there, to support their war
effort, to terrorise the vulnerable there, to fit suicide vests on sometimes
unwilling people?
Shamima Begum has done terrible things, and she has no
excuse. She cannot claim society failed
her when she willingly dove into the fire, and dragged others in. Instead of entertaining her nonsense, she
should be tried and executed.
