NOW the blame game has started as to how the three girls got into Syria. To my mind the girls themselves are to blame.

They have been brought up in loving families, had a good education and live in a free society but they decided to leave and join up with a cruel, narrow-minded group of men who look upon women as chattels.

I hope and pray that they will come to their senses and manage to get back to their families and friends who love them.
