school' and was 'very friendly'
The
20-year-old left her Glasgow home in November after becoming radicalised
by 'online material' and fled to Syria where she married an ISIS
fighter
Her
parents have described how their daughter, who grew up listening to
Coldplay and reading Harry Potter books, phoned them on the Turkish
border with Syria to tell them she would next see them on 'judgement
day' and would 'hold their hands' as she led them to heaven.
In a heartbreaking interview, her father told CNN: 'She was the best daughter we could have, we don't know what happened to her.
'We are a moderate Muslim family, and it was a big shock for us.'
The
interviewer then asked what Aqsa said during the final phone call,
before she made the crossing towards Aleppo to join the fighting.
'One
message was that I will see you on the day of judgement day.I will take
you to heaven, I will hold your hand. That's what she said.'
The
devastated pair hoped their daughter who 'loved school' would one day
become a doctor, but when the violence in Syria started to worsen, she
became more religious and began to pray more often.
When
her parents discovered that she was heading for Aleppo, they were
shocked because she was 'afraid of the dark' and didn't even know which
bus to take into Glasgow city centre.
Family
lawyer Aamer Anwar said he believes that she was radicalised by
extremist material online that is making young women like Aqsa
vulnerable.
He said: 'If this could happen to someone like her, someone so intelligent, then it could happen to anybody.'
Her
mother then issued a final plea for their daughter to return home. She
said: 'My dear daughter please come back. I am missing you so much. Your
brothers and sisters miss you a lot. My dearest daughter, in the name
of Allah, please come home. I love you.'
Aqsa, pictured as a youngster, recently Tweeted how she longed for and missed drinking Irn-Bru
Aqsa's mother Khaleda said hsiblings 'missed her a lot' and her departure had torn their family apart
Earlier
this week they told the media they were horrified that their 'sweet,
peaceful, intelligent' child had joined jihadists in Syria and had hoped
she would become a doctor in Britain.
Even
though they had branded her a 'bedroom radical', they promised
that 'she is safe to return home and her family will open their door to
her and take her back'.
They
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.'
The
couple also confirmed that their daughter had been keeping in touch
with them through social media since fleeing Britain, but said they had
not heard from her since her involvement with ISIS was revealed earlier
this week.
