A
few weeks ago I wrote about the article that explains UK teenagers left London
for Turkey, and they are also believed to head for Syria. Then today, I read
the article with a video clip that says the three teenagers were at
Turkey-Syria boarder. According to the article, the day before they left
Turkey, at least one of them contacted a woman, Aqsa Mahmood, who left Scotland
for Syria in 2013, and accused her of trying to recruit others through social
media. She has a blog and posted how to travel to Syria for young women to
marry jihadis like she did.
According
to the article, teenagers are just 15, 16 years old (Shamima Begum, 15, Kadiza Sultana, 16, and Amira Abase, 15). I cannot unerstand why they headed for Syria and maybe join ISIS. I
do not know about religion so I have no idea what it means to get married to
jihadis, but I do not think joining ISIS meet that desire because I saw a lot
of articles that explains Muslim people saying their religion is not like ISIS
says. Teenagers have not forged their identities and easily lose their
identities; I think ISIS takes advantage those weaknesses. I think we should protect
young people from problems like being recruited by ISIS. Moreover, we all need
to understand the concepts of every religion and not misunderstand them like the
recent misunderstanding of Islam. It is really sad that lately so many
anti-Islamic movements have happened all over the world.
