The former Ukip leader spoke to Fox News about the teenager’s desire to return to the UK. He said: “I don’t want her back but I fear our country is much weaker than yours (US) when it comes to defending our values and I fear she is coming back.” He added that the political class is “scared” of making her stateless.
Mr Farage told the show: “The fact is, she chose to leave us, she worked with the direct energy of our country, of our values.
“As far as I’m concerned she’s not stateless, she’s Islamic State.
“I don’t want her in my country under any circumstances and for those that say look, she was only a 15-year-old kid, she made a mistake.
“Well, Christian forgiveness is based on people first repenting of their sins.”

Ms Begum has had UK citizenship revoked because she is of dual-nationality.
However, the Bangladeshi government has said she is not a Bangladeshi citizen.
The government explained that she is a British citizen by birth and has never applied for dual nationality with Bangladesh.
Sajid Javid hinted that Ms Begum’s son can be British and is allowed into the UK despite her being barred.
Mr Farage added: “It’s possible, always possible, to forgive people for their sins but they’ve got to recognise what they have done first.”
He went on to attack her “casual attitude” towards finding a severed head in the bin.
Fox News presenter, Tucker Carlson, asked why the UK does not have a national politician who puts the protection of the citizens first.
Mr Farage responded with: “Occasionally one does say that and then they get abused – called racist, called extreme. Things that I’ve been called over these years.
“There is a consensus among British politicians that you don’t tackle these issues because they’re too awkward.
“We have a growing Muslim minority within the United Kingdom and the fear is if we say these things we’ll alienate that community and they won’t vote for us in the future.
“And cynically, Tucker, I think that’s not the top of the list.”
Mr Carlson questioned if British Muslims supported ISIS which was quickly shut down by Mr Farage.
He said: “The vast majority of British Muslims are integrating into our way of life, they’re appalled by what ISIS have done but what this young woman has done because it makes their lives in their communities more difficult and tougher for them and their kids to integrate.
“The key here is we in the west will not launch a crusade against an entire religion.
“We must launch it against the extremes of that religion and get moderate Islam on our side in this great battle.
“You don’t do that by being weak, you do that by being strong.”
