Dare was born in Nigeria but migrated to the UK as a
child with her parent. She was originally christened Grace, but the 22-year-old changed her name after she
began attending services at the Lewisham Islamic Centre - a mosque.
She was among the first Britons to join the terrorists of
Islamic State and regularly takes to Twitter to issue violent threats,
including one in which she spoke of her wish to become the first woman to
behead a Westerner.
But despite all that, Khadijah Dare's heartbroken mother
Victoria has used her first ever interview to call upon her daughter to return
and says she wants her only child in her life.
Mrs Dare, from Lewisham in South London, in an interview
with Daily Mail also revealed that her daughter had been an equally devout
Christian as a child but turned to Islam while at college.
She loved church,' said Mrs Dare in an interview due to be
screened tonight as part of a BBC documentary.
'She had a Bible, she read the Bible. She would sit there
and pray and pray and pray.'
'When she became Muslim, I would get these phone calls
saying, "Can I speak to Khadijah?" I said to her, what's that about?
She says, "Oh, that's my name". It was only the
mosque people who called her Khadijah. I don't call her that.'
Now living in Syria, Dare, who married a Swedish IS
terrorist calling himself Abu Bakr almost as soon as she arrived, has
reportedly been widowed.
Nevertheless, she continues to spread IS propaganda online
and has been accused of encouraging other young women to travel to the Middle
East, much like fellow British jihadi bride Umm Layth
