"I suddenly see the error in my ways coimcidentally after the caliphate lost the war. Please let me back into Europe. Please don't let me die in this god forsaken desert."

We’re the ones who helped shape the society these people ended up feeling so alienated from that they ran away to become terrorists. We bear some collective responsibility for what they’ve chosen to do with their lives and the geopolitical situation that gave them the opportunity to go so badly astray; that means we have a responsibility to them— not necessarily to forgive, but at least to try and extend compassion even to them as we decide what punishments they should face.

Yes. One of the things that separates us from the terrorists is a respect for human rights and dignity.

Is it going to bring the dead Yazidi girl back if another person gets tortured to death? What’s wrong with you?


Virtue signaling about needing to be better than the terrorists won't bring her back. Thats for sure. I will say we are better than these people even if we execute them. We didn't execute them for their ethnicity or being the wrong religion. We didn't do it will a dull rusty knife. I find it to be disrespectful to victims of ISIS to suggest that if anti ISIS forces make captured war criminals face the wall, it's somehow equivalent to ISIS raping and murdering people for their faith. It has the same energy as saying that antifa and fascists are both equally bad. ISIS are scum. The best they deserve is to be exiled to Antarctica or sent to a desert island, and that's at best.

The jihadists often get arrested as well. The issue is that they don't generally publicise what they've personally done, the people who fought against them do as they're expecting to be seen as heroes.

I haven't seen reinkalistan suggesting torture. Just saying.

Also he's better because he didn't rape and murder thousands of people from a vulnerable minority. We can start there for how he's better than jihadists.

I remmber back in school, I read a Ukrainian fable called, "Pike" (A fish one, not a spear), where this pike was on trial for her crimes. And the fox, who was her prosecutor and who recieved fishes this pike caught, offered to execute pike by drowning her in the river.

For this slaver lady, being sent to Iraq is like for a fish being thrown into the water.

It is very difficult to justify to my human nature why these abominable human beings are given devil’s advocates when they commit such heinous crimes. I very much wish they could just be left at the mercy of their victims or rotting behind Syrian or Iraqi bars. Jihadis and jihadi wives should not be so protected, let alone given such leniency.

This only makes sense if it can be proven that she was literally in fear for her life if she did not act in the way she did. Other isis returnees have said that wives were expected to be submissive, raise children, cook and clean etc. I've not seen much suggesting that they were expected to partake in terrorist activity, however I'm happy to be proven wrong if you have other information.

I’m saying even if she wasn’t in fear for her life and was enthusiastically participating, she should have been afraid for her life, and the fact she apparently wasn’t and was enthusiastically participating indicates some kind of severe psychological issue.

I'm not fine with torturing certain people to death -- I am fine with the government of Iraq deciding what to do, at least, with "certain people". I.e., people like this woman who are less than human as far as I am concerned. After all, she committed the crime on Iraqi soil, did she not?

Let us face this on a fundamental basis: the current, deranged mentality regarding the innate value of all human lives. One human life is not necessarily as valuable as another. For sure, the death of any average, innocent person is a tragedy, but this woman was no average, innocent person. Her life is worth less than dirt.

You’re both saying you’d be fine with her being tortured to death. If you can’t wrap your mind around why that’s wrong and want to double down on denying you even said it, fine.
