A SCOTS "Jihadi bride" has written a chilling blog in which she described the murders of innocent victims by Islamic terrorists in Tunisia, France and Kuwait as "revenge".
Aqsa Mahmood, now 21, left Glasgow in November 2013 and married a terrorist fighting for the Islamic State (IS).
Her words - under the name the nom de guerre Umm Layth - chart a journey from an average Scottish teenager with a love of shopping and Disney films to becoming a "Jihadi bride".
The former pupil of private Craigholme School in Pollokshields started the blog in 2013. It contains a mixture of videos, pictures and quotes which highlight the conflict in Syria and praise IS as well as referencing her family and day-to-day life.
Less than two years after travelling to Syria, Mahmood - who is thought to have been radicalised through the internet - has posted hate-filled messages warning Western leaders that their countries will be destroyed.
Among the most recent entries is a poem about the atrocities in Tunisia, France and Kuwait in which scores of people were killed, including 30 British tourists.
It reads: "Revenge. This is an answer to our imprisonment, they try to make us deaf, dumb and blind to the light of Allaah [sic], but it will always outshine.
"Kuwait, France and Tunisia is where they reside. They left a mark which will always remain. Permanent and blunt."
Mahmood ended with the line: "If you show no mercy with us then why should we with you?"
It is in stark contrast to some of the earlier, apparently more tolerant musings from Mahmood including an entry from January 2013 when she talked about wearing a hijab as "fardh" - a religious duty.
She wrote: "I absolutely hate to see sisters think just because they wear it and another sister doesn't it automatically gives them the right to judge them? And look down upon them? Of course not."
By March 2013, however, her posts began to hint that Mahmood - who was studying radiography at Glasgow Caledonian University - was facing inner turmoil. "My current self is constantly at war with my former self," she wrote. "The two are fighting for control of my future self."
On April 6, 2013 - seven months before Mahmood arrived in Syria - she revealed her "revert" story, suggesting an interest in Islam was sparked in 2008, when an Iraqi journalist threw two shoes at US President George Bush as a sign of contempt.
She wrote: "I was watching TV and I saw this man throw a shoe at Bush and it inspired me to look into such an amazing religion."
Mahmood claimed that most women she has met who have joined IS share similar backgrounds to her and could have been blessed with "a relaxing and comfortable life and lots of money."
Another post, from January this year, referenced the "hefty reality" that those who marry IS fighters have to prepare for their husband's deaths.
She also hinted at profiting from IS atrocities, writing about rewards in the form of "ghanimah" - a term used to describe spoils of war.
Mahmood wrote: "Some of the many things include kitchen appliances from fridges, cookers, ovens, microwaves, milkshake machines ... and most importantly a house with free electricity and water provided to you due to the Khilafah [Islamic State] and no rent included."
In this post, she also spoke of being "free of those living in the West" and issued a warning to UK Prime Minister David Cameron and US President Barack Obama that their countries "will be beneath our feet" and people destroyed.
She wrote: "If not you then your grandchildren or their grandchildren. But worry not, somewhere along the line your blood will be spilled by our cubs ... this Islamic empire shall be known and feared worldwide."
Mahmood added: "This is a war against Islam ... either you're with them or with us, so pick a side."
