The parents of a Scottish private schoolgirl who travelled to Syria to join Islamic fighters have pleaded for her to return home .
Aqsa Mahmood, 20, left her Glasgow home in November after becoming radicalised and fled to Syria where she married an ISIS fighter.
She has since been inciting violence on social media, telling Jihadists who can't make it to Syria,to kill in Britain and emulate Lee Rigby's killers.
Her parents, Muzaffar and Khalida, said they were horrified that their 'sweet, peaceful, intelligent' child had joined jihadists in Syria and had hoped she would become a doctor in Britain.

In a statement today,the heartbroken parents said..
We still love you, Aqsa, but we now have to put your family, your brother and sisters first as you have betrayed us, our community and the people of Scotland when you took this step.
'You have torn the heart out of our family and changed our lives forever. Please come home.'
They added: 'Aqsa was always a very sweet, peaceful, intelligent child and inquisitive about everything.
'We had high hopes for her and would have loved for her to be a doctor and to save lives
'We dreamed that one day we would see her married with children but sadly that no longer looks likely.
'We have not seen our daughter since November of last year and can confirm that on her disappearance we immediately contacted Police Scotland and are grateful for their continued support.
'We found out ourselves within days that she had travelled through Turkey to Syria and subsequently married an ISIS fighter in February this year.
'As parents we would have liked for her to listen to us but we gave her everything possible in terms of love, freedom and education and she chose the path which we could never approve of.
'All parents want to be proud of their children but sadly we now feel nothing but sorrow and shame for Aqsa.
ISIS are killing in the name of religion and claiming to defend the weak, but by joining with them our daughter is brainwashed and deluded and helping those engaged in genocide.
'There is no smoking gun, no family member, no fundamentalist preacher that can be blamed for her radicalisation.
'Aqsa, like many young people in our community, was naturally angry and frustrated
at the loss of innocent life in the Middle East but this is not the way to help. 'We are concerned that a growing climate of fear in this country means that children will not discuss how they feel with their family and friends, and this will only spell disaster for society.
'We know that in the days and months ahead we will be scouring social media for clues of whether our daughter is still alive.
'As we try to hold back the tears today, we feel we have lost our child.'
