That's what they look like to me, those ISIS brides snapped as they passed through security at Gatwick airport last week. Like that immortal image of Myra Hindley, those images seemed to me to be the very personification of evil. High achievers at school allegedly, they became "radicalised online" as the saying goes, avidly following up to 70 Jihadists on Twitter, presumably promising to marry them and going out there to consummate their union?
I tell you, these girls are seriously disturbed and ill informed. They share in common that bizarre belief apparently held by quite a number of otherwise intelligent Muslim women who argue the Burqa is a liberation and not the expression of male domination of the weaker sex. And while I can sort of see the attraction of hiding your face in public they buy the whole line like the ideal conman's mark, buying wholesale into the terrible, medieval value system adopted by the fundamentalists of IS. Maybe they support the practice of female genital mutilation, seeing it as one of Mohammed's precepts (there is in fact nothing about it anywhere in the Koran) for the actual benefit of women, rather than a technique specifically designed to prevent them experiencing orgasm. Maybe it is at the top of their wish list once they get settled in Syria.
What is wrong with them? Can't they think for themselves? If they are such high achievers, how come they haven't researched the issues properly? Can't they see what lies ahead of them? A life of subjugation to their male masters, a life as mere slaves to the will of conscienceless murderers. Well, no, they can't, or won't, see the truth that is in front of them.
So, in answer to the question, what is wrong with them? My first thought would be, a lot.
