Shamima Begum has sparked a fiery row on GB News after Isis brides from the same Syrian camp as her were welcomed back to Australia.Debating whether Begum should be brought back to the UK, broadcaster Carole Malone said the vast majority of Britons are steadfast in their belief she should not return.Ms Malone told GB News: I really hope she doesn't come back, and I think that the majority of people in this country would not want her back.The security services have said time and time again that Isis brides are a danger even now.

TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say Defending former Home Secretary Sajid Javid's decision to take away Begum's citizenship in 2019, Ms Malone argued the British-born woman's actions should not be forgotten.She told GB News: When Sajid Javid took away her citizenship and people were kicking off, he said 'if you knew what I knew, you wouldn't want her back in this country'. He had seen reports from intelligence services in America which said exactly what she was about. And let's not forget, this is the woman who swept up severed heads, and this is the one who sewed people into suicide jackets.In contrast, GB News Senior Political Commentator Nigel Nelson argued that Begum should never have had her citizenship taken away.He said: In the event that you have evidence that Shamima Begum committed a number of of crimes, she ought to be arrested in this country and face trial here.She shouldn't have had her citizenship taken away in the first place, she's our responsibility.Ms Malone interjected, claiming Begum was not left stateless as she had a Bangladeshi passport.Nigel responded: No she didn't, she had parents who are Bangladeshi, and what Sajid Javid argued at the time was that she was entitled to Bangladeshi citizenship through her parents.

Bangladesh said they didn't want to accept her, which we understand. But when she turned 21, none of this applies.Quizzed by host Andrew Pierce on whether he would let Shamima Begum live on his street, Nigel agreed that he would.Nigel argued: Yes, I would. I would. She's so well known that I don't think that she would pose a danger. The longer you leave these people in Syria for all the reasons that Carole just said, they will get further radicalised.Hitting back at Nigel, Ms Malone declared that Begum should not be inflicted on Britain, amid the rising antisemitic threat to the Jewish community.She said: Do not inflict her on this country. Our secret services have enough problems now monitoring the Islamic threat already, they do not need another.A lot of people who want her back here say she was groomed. She was not groomed, the girls in Rochdale and Manchester were groomed. She was not. She made a conscious decision to go thousands of miles to join a death cult, and she had seen on television at the time that Isis beheaded people, we saw them burning men alive in cages, so do not say she didn't know what she was going into.
