A 36-year-old Afghan woman living in Warwickshire was convicted of terrorist offences last week after being accused of a plot to enlist her children in the Islamic State terror group. Farishta Jami came to Britain in 2008 and has since given birth to four children, all of whom she wished to take to Afghanistan with the ultimate intention of turning them into martyrs for the regional Daesh group known as IS-K or Islamic State - Khorasan Province. The single mother is said to have been fascinated by the use of children in warfare and police found videos showing children executing prisoners.
Following her conviction, West Midlands Police released a mugshot of Jami. However, the strict Muslim was not at all happy and demanded that the mugshot be retaken, allowing her to be seen wearing her niqab face veil. Her solicitor said: "Reports of the verdicts yesterday used an image of my client, released by the police, in which her head wasn’t covered. This has caused her some considerable distress and the police are going to release a different image. We would request that is used instead."
West Midlands Police released the new mugshot within two hours of the request, but the judge batted away Jami's demand and said it was up to the press which image was used.
While only her eyes are visible in the new mugshot, it was noted that Jami only wore a headscarf during her three week trial, suggesting that she is not all too proud of her actions after-all. She won't like you sharing the above meme, so please share away at your leisure!
Sentencing has been adjourned until a further date. We can only hope that upon her release, she fulfills her wish to return to Afghanistan - never to return to these shores again!

She wants to return to what we are forever being told is a war torn hell hole, where women are forced to live under the strictest conditions, none of the freedoms we take for granted, no prospects, no hope.
