Al-Sharq Al-Awsat newspaper said in an article on foreign mercenaries returning from Syria to their states that "the dismantling of IS' organization and the removal of its effects in Syria and Iraq, left behind the legacy and remnants of fighters from different countries and joined the organization in the period of flare since 2014."

"This is the legacy most countries do not want, and the biggest example of the involvement of many countries with their returnees is what was recently reported in the media about Shamima Begum, 19, dubbed a" IS' Bride, "where the British Home Office delivered her family a message Stating that the British nationality was dropped. "

"At a time when civilizations are divided, it is impossible to stop ideas and ideologies from reaching the minds and sympathizers of those who are sympathetic and affected wherever they are, which has caused concern among many countries and their refusal to welcome fighters who participated in extremist organizations. Time bombs explode in society and propagate the ideology of violence if not addressed the problematic. "

Trump and foreign mercenaries

What reflects the debate over how to deal with foreign fighters is the call by President Donald Trump of the Europeans to get back IS' elements who are existed in Syrian prisons, estimated at 800 fighters for trial in their countries, following the decision of the United States to withdraw its forces from Syria, he also issued an order to prevent the return of American extremist Huda Muthanna, 24, who is also called a "IS' Bride" to the United States, who is in a prison in north-east Syria with her son. This contradicts the call by European countries to receive fighters from their countries

Regrets of the returnees

The newspaper adds, "Although the American Huda Muthanna tried to emphasize that it has been deceived, what may be difficult to believe its intentions is its previous activity in its account in Twitter, calling for to carry out terrorist attacks during the holidays in the United States It is the same thing that intersects with the case of Shamima Begum, who joined an encouraging organization in 2015, After her Dutch husband was arrested, she fled to a refugee camp in Syria, giving birth to her child. Although she revealed the repression and corruption in IS' organization, she said she did not regret her experience because she made her "a stronger person."
