Um Nuh, no regret seems to show, says in the interview that she hopes that her husband’s martyrdom may die. She does not want to return to Belgium, because our country has participated in the international coalition against IS. “Islamic State is in our heart. Even if they are all of us dead, we will continue to love it. We are all muslims, we have a country. (…) Belgium has, our women and our children killed. They were in the coalition.”
