A body language expert has analyzed interview footage of runaway ISIS bride Shamima Begum and found that she appears emotionally vacant and arrogant—yet expects people to feel sorry for her.
Judi James, who has written several books on interpreting the messages that body language inadvertently reveals, said, “It is very difficult to feel sympathy” for the 19-year-old Begum, adding that the jihadi bride delivered “unemotional answers, relatively calmly, almost as though she can’t see what any fuss might be about.”
