Instead of wasting time proselytizing for Islam and denying the link between violent jihad and Islam, these savages should be rounded up.
Why were they allowed to return? They should have been killed on the battlefield.

More than 400 former jihadi fighters back in Britain, say security sources
Returning extremists could be back in the UK awaiting instructions on when to attack, a security expert tells Sky News.
By Mark White, Home Affairs Correspondent, SKY News, March 27, 2017:
UK authorities are facing an increased terror threat from battle-hardened fighters returning from Mosul and other conflict zones in Iraq and Syria.
Security sources have told Sky News more than 400 former fighters are now believed to be back in Britain.
The authorities believe there is a growing risk the UK could suffer the kind of mass gun and bomb attacks seen in France and Belgium recently, as many returning fighters will have been trained in the use of weapons and the construction of improvised explosive devices.
It is a serious, two-pronged challenge for the police and security services, who are already working flat-out to counter the threat from homegrown lone-wolf extremists, like Khalid Masood, who launched last week’s deadly attack on Westminster.
Former Scotland Yard Specialist Firearms Officer and author Tony Long said combating an attack launched by a well-trained returning jihadist could be a tough prospect.
He said: “These are combat-hardened soldiers. They might not be trained in the way that NATO might train their soldiers but they’ve seen more close quarter conflict and more urban fighting than probably most members of the British Armed Forces and you have to respect that.
“Of course they’re bringing that knowledge back with them to the UK and it’s very very difficult because of the legal restrictions that are put on the security services and the police to actually monitor all of these people.”

To date, only a fraction of those returning from the battlefields of Syria and Iraq have been prosecuted, as authorities need enough evidence to put before the courts and often returning fighters go to great lengths to cover up their overseas activities.
Imran Khawaja, 29, from west London, is currently serving 12 years in prison after he faked his own death in Syria in an attempt to sneak back into the UK undetected.
Khawaja had joined a militant group with links to so-called Islamic State while overseas.
He was pictured posing with the severed heads of Syrian soldiers during his six months in the country.
He was arrested as he tried to re-enter the UK through the port of Dover and later admitted preparing for acts of terrorism, attending a camp, receiving training and possessing firearms.

Security sources said they could not be certain that Khawaja would have launched an attack back home, but the pattern of returning jihadists posing a major risk to national security is well established.
More than a decade ago, groups of al Qaeda trained terrorists were responsible for mass carnage in Europe and the United States.
Those who launched the devastating attack on the London transport system on 7 July 2005 had attended al Qaeda training camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Some of the terrorists who launched a similar failed attack on London on 21 July 2005 had received weapons and explosives training, as had some of the plotters who planned to blow up airliners with liquid bombs in 2006.
Security expert Professor Tahir Abbas from the Royal United Services Institute said: “The police and security services are certainly preparing for all eventualities, because in Britain, we’ve had our lessons from the past.
“These returning fighters pose a number of threats in relation to security here.
“They’ve been through a lot of very traumatic conflict and engagement, often involved in street-to-street fighting.

Which is why we need TRAVEL BANS and strong border security!
We also need to automatically charge people with TREASON when they try to join ISIS.
Where in the Tanakh or Talmud does it state that?
FWIW, I used to know an Israeli commando who fought in the Yom Kippur War who beat 7 shades of sh!t out of his nephew for not going back to Israel to do his service in the IDF. Of course his nephew was an Israeli citizen.
Charge? There’s not enough due process in all of Western Civilization to deal with the moslem problem. It’s a military matter, not a Perry Mason episode.
Weak political leaders, more concerned with winning elections than national security.

Who cares? The britistinans were told by the mayor of london to get used to terrorism as it was part of living in a big city. Now shut up and enjoy the multicultural diversity that you asked for, bought and paid for, while bringing more in all the time. Enjoy your new islamic culture, same violent murder that the old islamic culture is.

Goes in one ear and out the other.
Only one penality for all terrorist hanging.
Castrate them so they cannot have their 72 virgins in paradise.
With those terrorist getting back in, probably a Muslim holds the keys or a supporter of them

It would be discrimination to not let them back.

Since they’re evil enough to let them back in, they deserve whatever atrocities they perpetrate on them. Sorry, but it’s the only thing that will wake them up, maybe. It’s also, apparently, the only thing that will wake us up, maybe, eventually, some day, possibly …

These are the people who burned people alive in cages , slit the throats of children and adults who were tied up, mass murdered women and children, raped women and children. This is foolish and nations allowing islam in have put their children and their futures at risk. The most worrisome of risks , to me , is that there will come a time they will convert to unholy islam and lose any hope of eternal life with Yeshua, with Yahweh.

Britain is finished. Successive governments have welcomed this trash and done everything they can to protect them and pander to them. The unfortunate part is that so many indigenous people could not see the danger ahead and kept voting for this invasion and destruction of their society by continually supporting those politicians that lied to them and could careless about them, as long as their tax pounds paid their salaries and security plus supporting the parasites that get free housing, healthcare and benefits having contributed nothing to the country.
