British Mom Flies To Syria With Toddler And Is Found Guilty of Being an ISIS Member

A British mother named Tareena Shakil, 26, fled to Syria with her toddler and posted photos of him with a weapon encouraging terrorism on social media. She was later found guilty of becoming a part of the terrorist group ISIS at the Birmingham Crown Court, Jan. 29. She said that ending up in the Islamic state was all accidental, but police refuse to believe her.

Shakil, being a health worker in the UK and based on her social media, said that she only has the desire to live under sharia law, also known as the Islamic law, reported by The Guardian.The British healthcare worker denied being a part of ISIS but detectives have enough evidence to prove that she is a member and was even about to become a jihadi bride.  

The 26-year-old mother is known by her friends to be a fun, loving and caring mom to her child while her family said they didn't see her as someone religious to the point that she would be involved in this kind of trouble with the law. For them, she was just this sweet young woman who is into watching reality shows and someone who loves listening to Spice Girls.

Shakil went to Turkey back in October 2014 for a holiday, Toronto Sun reported. She went there with her son who was only one-year-old at that time and they crossed the border going to Syria where they stayed for three months. Cops in West Midlands shared this police report for public knowledge.

She then decided to return to the U.K. on Feb. 18, 2015, and that is where she was arrested on charges that involve encouraging terrorism. Her son was taken from her, but he is in good hands.

She, later on, said that she was in Syria for two months in a mansion with different women from all over the world and they were all in a queue to marry a man who is an ISIS member. Shakil is due for her sentence on Feb 1.
