Unfortunately, some decisions in life can result in so much resentment and hate that the follies of youth or hindsight can’t be forgiven (or forgotten) by just saying sorry. I seriously doubt many would be returning if they had been successful in forming their new caliphate. I wish her and her family well, but I doubt she/they will be treated kindly anywhere.
