Piers Morgan believes ISIS bride Shamima Begum ‘deserves to rot in hell’

He is unequivocal on the issue

| Updated:

Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan believes ISIS bride Shamima Begum should “rot in hell”.

The furious 53-year-old said the teen should go “[bleep] herself” for wanting to return to the UK after running away to Syria in 2015 to join the terrorist organisation.

Also addressing Hoda Muthana, another jihadi widow wishing to go back to the United States, Piers insisted they could not expect to be forgiven for marrying ISIS terrorists.

“Now, predictably, they both want to return to the safety of their original countries and live at OUR tax-payer expense,” he wrote for Mail Online.

“To which I say, and excuse my language here but sometimes it’s entirely appropriate: Go [bleep] yourselves.

“My message to both these brides, and any others like them, is this: you made your ISIS husband beds, now you can rot in hell in them.”

Yesterday EastEnders actor Danny Dyer came under fire for suggesting Begum and her newborn child should be allowed to return to Britain.

The 41-year-old TV star admitted he was stumped as to why she and two friends would want to head to a war zone stronghold for terrorism, but resisted the notion she may have been brainwashed.

Begum, 19, gave birth to a boy in a Syrian refugee camp on Saturday.

She insisted to journalists that “a lot of people should have sympathy for me”.

Earlier today her family’s lawyer criticised her “disgraceful” claim there was “fair justification” for the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing in which 22 people died.

Tasnime Akunjee told the Evening Standard he had “no idea” why she would make the remarks.

“These comments are disgraceful. It concerns me. I suspect she was brainwashed,” he is reported to have told the newspaper.

He previously likened the runaway teen to traumatised World War One soldiers.
