U.K.-based Ultimate Airsoft Range said the image of Shamima Begum is nothing but 'lighthearted fun.'
A shooting range is defending its decision to use an image of a teenage girl who fled the U.K to join up with the Islamic State militant group and is now pleading to be allowed to return to the country.The Ultimate Airsoft Range in Wallasey, North West England, said it has received a “record number” of requests from customers wanting to use a picture of 19-year-old Shamima Begum, the so-called ISIS bride who is attempting to regain entry to the U.
“The targets provide some fantastic reactions and conversations and allow people to have some lighthearted fun and bring out the inner child in us all,” a spokesperson said."The targets don't always reflect personal opinions and we don't want to condone terrorism. But after watching the footage of Shemema Begum [sic] being interviewed, there was a lack of empathy that she had shown and we decided to listen to our customers and use them as targets.
