Shamima Begum is no dummy. She knows what British authorities want, so very desperately, to hear. If she convinces them that she now realizes that Islam is a religion of peace and that she was “brainwashed” to think otherwise, she may be back in the United Kingdom in no time.

The comments from the British schoolgirl, who left Bethnal Green for Syria, came as she made a second plea for a return to the UK.
The 19-year-old said she was ‘brainwashed’ by the terror group and wants to come back to the UK to ‘start my life over again’.
Shamima told The Times she actually knew little about Islam, reports the Mirror.

She resurfaced heavily-pregnant in a refugee camp in northern Syria in January and spoke of her desire to return to the UK, as the self-styled caliphate collapsed.
Ms Begum gave birth last month to her son Jarrah at the refugee camp, but the baby boy suffered from ill-health and died two weeks later.
“Since I left Baghuz I really regretted everything I did and I feel like I want to go back to the UK for a second chance to start my life over again,” she told The Times, in her first interview since the death of her son Jarrah .
“I was brainwashed. I came here believing everything that I had been told, while knowing little about the truths of my religion.”
She added: “I do regret having children in the caliphate.”…
