How does a 16-year-old girl get to the point where she finds the deaths of dozens of people amusing? Could this have something to do with Islam?

London Evening Standard—A London schoolgirl who fled to Syria to join terror group Islamic State has mocked the victims of the Tunisia massacre.

Amira Abase, 16, unwittingly told an undercover reporter at the Mail on Sunday that she was “laughing out loud” when asked about her reaction to the shootings, which saw 30 Britons killed.

In an online conversation with the reporter, the former Bethnal Green Academy pupil appeared to know little about the recent attack by gunman Seifeddine Rezgui in Sousse.

But when she was told that Muslim leaders were condemning the attacks, she simply replied “LOL” – text speak for “laughing out loud”.

Reporter Abul Taher had contacted Ms Abase under the pretence that he was a fellow British Muslim teenager planning to run away and join Islamic State.

Ms Abase fled London in February along with friends Shamima Begum, 15, Kadiza Sultana, 16, to become so-called “jihadi brides”.

Yesterday video emerged of three girls carrying automatic rifles around Raqqa, Syria – an Isis stronghold, but there were conflicting reports as to whether the trio were the former Bethnal Green Academy pupils.

Two of the girls have since married IS militants after choosing from a catalogue of suitors, according to reports.

Members of the girls’ families, who appeared before a committee of MPs in March, claimed they were normal teenagers who watched shows including Keeping Up With The Kardashians. (Continue Reading.)
