    Is there an argument to say that it's not feasible for her to show any remorse else risk being stoned to death herself?

    Not currently, no. At present there is no real risk of such reprisals for rejecting terrorists, and indeed a higher likelihood of being harmed for not rejecting them. It may be a reasonable explanation for why some who joined ISIS but then changed their minds nevertheless stayed with the group—esp. those who became parents while there.

    I was talking more about being stoned to death (or whatever the murder-method-of-the-day is) by ISIS themselves. If she starts attacking them and showing too much remorse in front of the entire world, surely her life, and the life of her baby, are at serious risk?

    We have absolutely no idea who's behind the camera, and who's she's going home to.

    Considering she's facing potential execution if she ends up in the hands of the Iraqis and potential lesser punishments by the Kurds [whose custody I believe she is in] or Syrians then no absolutely not.

    Her justification of the Manchester Arena bombing was unsolicited and was not to avoid reprisals.
