While David Cameron is returning from his annual holiday in Cornwall for emergency meetings following the beheading of American journalist James Foley by Isis fighters, there's another Briton who is staying put right where she is. In Syria.

The 22-year-old woman, called Khadijah Dare, is from Lewisham, south east London, but she moved to the Middle Eastern country in 2012 to join the anti-government fighters there. She is so determined to enact jihad on behalf of Isis that she has expressed her desire - via social media - to kill a British or American person.

Following the beheading of James Foley, which was shown to the world via a YouTube upload, she tweeted, under the name of Muhajirah fi Sham, which means 'immigrant in Syria': 'Any links 4 da execution of da journalist plz. Allahu Akbar. UK must b shaking up haha. I wna b da 1st UK woman 2 kill a UK or US terrorist![sic]'

Now married to a Turkish-Swedish Isis fighter who goes by the name of Abu Bakr, she has a toddler son there with her. According to The Mirror, she regularly uses her Twitter account to post photos of the heads of beheaded men on railings, and ask how to best teach her son the Koran.

Earlier this year, she called for more Muslims to join Isis in their quest to make an Islamic state: 'All da people back in dar ul kufr [land of disbelievers] what are you waiting for ... hurry up and join da caravan to where the laws of allah is implemented. No one from Lewisham has come here apart from an 18-year-old sister shame on all those people who afford fancy meals and clothes and do not make hirja [the word for Mohammad’s journey]. Shame on you.'

Around 500 Britons are believed to be fighting for Isis, with many of them using social media to communicate with others and to send messages back home. One tweeted: 'Seeing these so called 'Muslims' send condolences to James Foley's family is disgusting. No dignity whatsoever…'

As for plans to combat Isis and their followers, we're guessing and hoping that David Cameron will have something to say following his 'meetings on the situation in Iraq/Syria'. As for Barack Obama, he has promised that 'justice will be done'.
