Heartbroken Parents of 20 -year old girl who joined ISIS beg her to return(Photos)

The parents of a Scottish private schoolgirl who
travelled to Syria to join Islamic fighters have
pleaded for her to return home .
Aqsa Mahmood, 20, left her Glasgow home in
November after becoming radicalised and fled to
Syria where she married an ISIS fighter.
She has since been inciting violence on social media,
telling Jihadists who can't make it to Syria,to kill in
Britain and emulate Lee Rigby's killers.
Her parents, Muzaffar and Khalida, said they were
horrified that their 'sweet, peaceful, intelligent' child
had joined jihadists in Syria and had hoped she
would become a doctor in Britain.
In a statement today,the heartbroken parents said..
We still love you, Aqsa, but we now have to put your
family, your brother and sisters first as you have
betrayed us, our community and the people of
Scotland when you took this step.
'You have torn the heart out of our family and
changed our lives forever. Please come home.'
They added: 'Aqsa was always a very sweet, peaceful,
intelligent child and inquisitive about everything.
'We had high hopes for her and would have loved for
her to be a doctor and to save lives
'We dreamed that one day we would see her married
with children but sadly that no longer looks likely.
'We have not seen our daughter since November of
last year and can confirm that on her disappearance
we immediately contacted Police Scotland and are
grateful for their continued support.
'We found out ourselves within days that she had
travelled through Turkey to Syria and subsequently
married an ISIS fighter in February this year.
'As parents we would have liked for her to listen to us
but we gave her everything possible in terms of love,
freedom and education and she chose the path which
we could never approve of.
'All parents want to be proud of their children but
sadly we now feel nothing but sorrow and shame for
Aqsa.
ISIS are killing in the name of religion and claiming
to defend the weak, but by joining with them our
daughter is brainwashed and deluded and helping
those engaged in genocide.
'There is no smoking gun, no family member, no
fundamentalist preacher that can be blamed for her
radicalisation.
'Aqsa, like many young people in our community,
was naturally angry and frustrated
at the loss of innocent life in the Middle East but this
is not the way to help. 'We are concerned that a
growing climate of fear in this country means that
children will not discuss how they feel with their
family and friends, and this will only spell disaster
for society.
'We know that in the days and months ahead we will
be scouring social media for clues of whether our
daughter is still alive.
'As we try to hold back the tears today, we feel we
have lost our child.'
