:03:31. > :03:34.These girls are what I class as the 9/11 generation, these `re the
:03:35. > :03:36.girls who have often experidnced marginalisation particularlx after
:03:37. > :03:41.9/11 and 7/7, the British mddia have often portrayed these young girls as
:03:42. > :03:44.being the enemy within and that is how a lot
:03:45. > :03:50.That increasing marginalisation with increasing political and
:03:51. > :03:54.religious narrative that is trying to frame the worldview of these men
:03:55. > :03:57.and women, it is often almost portrayed as saying, Islamic State

:04:40. > :04:43.months earlier, to articulate the view that British jihadis who go and
:04:44. > :04:46.join and fight in Syria are participating in a noble catse.
:04:47. > :04:53.This is not the kind of language we need to hear
:04:54. > :04:55.from representatives of mospues or self`appointed community le`ders,
