They gave up citizenship when they committed treason and fought against their own country. Why would any rational government allow enemy fighters to return? They will bring the war to their streets, their towns and cities.
According to Europol’s annual report, 45 per cent of Britain’s jihadi fighters have returned, the largest proportion of returned jihadists out of the whole of the EU. Germany came second with 33 per cent of its citizens who travelled to the Middle East having returned, followed by Spain and the Netherlands, both on 18 per cent.
Britain Has Highest Rate of ‘Exceptionally Dangerous’ Returning Jihadists in EU
Nearly half of British citizens who travelled to Iraq and Syria to fight with Islamic State have returned to the United Kingdom, with Europol warning that their training in the Middle East means they are “exceptionally dangerous”.
According to Europol’s annual report, 45 per cent of Britain’s Islamist foreign fighters have returned, the largest proportion of returned jihadists out of the whole of the EU. Germany came second with 33 per cent of its citizens who travelled to the Middle East having returned, followed by Spain and the Netherlands, both on 18 per cent.
“Those that have returned garner kudos with like-minded individuals,” the report authors write.Story continues below advertisement“Their training and experience — such as handling weapons and explosives — makes them exceptionally dangerous. Furthermore, EU Member States’ ongoing concern is that these individuals can perpetuate and strengthen their networks both nationally and internationally.”
The Telegraph reports that of the 400 jihadists who returned to the United Kingdom, just 40 have been prosecuted for terrorist activities.
In October 2017, current Director of Public Prosecutions Max Hill QC, who was then the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation, said that British authorities were not prosecuting a large number of returning Islamist fighters, and that they should instead look towards “reintegration”.
Claiming that many of those who went to fight for Islamic State may have been youngsters who “travelled out of a sense of naivety, possibly with some brainwashing along the way”, Mr Hill expressed concern that prosecuting all British jihadists would risk “los[ing] a generation”.
In October 2018, it was reported that dozens of Islamic State brides from were to head back to Britain from Kurdish custody, with rising concern of the domestic security threat they may pose. A report by Europol released in mid-June warned that the terror group could begin actively recruiting women to the jihadist frontline, noting that female radical Islamists are “as ideologically motivated as their male counterparts” and that such women “are willing to use violence if the ideology allows them to do so”.
Earlier this year, teen ISIS bride Shamima Begum spoke to media from a refugee camp in Syria, telling journalists that despite being unfazed by the sight of decapitated heads in bins and having no regrets about joining the terror group, she wanted to return to the United Kingdom.
Despite depicting herself as simply a jihadist’s housewife, allegations have surfaced that the 19-year-old was a cruel sharia law enforcer. It was determined that Ms Begum was a dual citizen of Britain and Bangladesh, with Home Secretary Sajid Javid deciding to strip her of her British citizenship along with at least two other female jihadists and barring her from returning to the UK.
Ms Begum and her family are challenging the decision.

They should all be put down like rabid dogs.
The fact that they are allowed back to their home countries is insane.
It is not a matter of, if they wage jihad on the citizens of those countries, but when, they will wage jihad on the citizens of those countries.

It is insane. Britain now, like Canada, is devoid of leadership, not just devoid of good leadership, just leadership and those running for office, Hunt and Boris Johnson are just nothing leaders like Theresa May, herself a gutless liar.

Britain should have stamped their passports, then taken them outside and shoot them. You work for ISIS, you are a killer.

Absolutely right. But Canada is no different. ISIS members have been permitted to return to Canada and the idiot ‘leader’, Just an ass Trudeau, reinstated their citizenship after the previous prime minister, Stephen Harper, revoked it. This horse’s ass who a Toronto crowd cheered during a Raptors basketball team celebration, compared these murderers. rapists and generally vile people, to “tourists”. One Yazidi former sex slave in Syria or Iraq and now living in London, Ontario, found herself facing her former ISIS slave owner. He covered his face and ran. She went to the authorities to report this shocking experience and by a cowardly bit of vermin was recommended that she “just keep quiet”. How utterly Canadian! No moral outrage. No determination to track down this ISIS piece of vermin and throw him out of the country – or preferably shoot the bastard!

It’s a real pity that Michael Flynn, then Trump’s National Security Advisor, lied to Mike Pence and lost his job because he knew and understood Islam. He openly descrived Islam as a cancer. This, naturally outraged the utterly imbecilic and arrogant horse’s ass on CNN, Chris Cuomo who behaves as if he has a brain tumour that kills all outrage against savagery.

I’ll bet they’re let back in because Muslims who’ve infiltrated the highest levels of the UK govt are running influence operations to benefit their fellow Muslims.
No sane society would allow dangerous criminals/terrorists to return to their countries. So the elites are either retards or they’re paid off, or coerced to do something this self-detrimental.

When the Islamic fundamentalist population gets dense enough and large enough, they will elect Islamic fundamentalists into all levels of government. Look at Michigan in the US and the $%^&*s they elected… thanks to Obama settling a horde of them right there.
As if it were not a strategy on his part…

There is no non-fundamental islam. There are no reformed mosques, no protestant mosques there is nothing but the same fascist, Jew hating, vile, vicious, totalitarian islamic bullshite. As for the Amadiyya muslums? They’re considering apostates and none of them have ever repudiated muhammad’s Jew hating, genocidal statements or his philosophy towards the kafir in general.

Canada’s Minister of Immigration is a Muslim from Somalia where brain cells are sorely lacking and violence second nature, so we can bet that it is he who among other Muslims in parliament, support ISIS savages returning to Canada.

Absolutely agree, but after Toronto’s complete imbeciles at the recent Raptors
celebration rally booed Ford and cheered so enthusiastically two of the country’s biggest dimwits, Just-an-ass Trudeau and the utterly weak John Tory, I don’t hold much hope. I’m not totally sold on Ford, but what an improvement on the lying incompetent, Kathleen Wynne (who Trudeau likes)! Ford is stuck with a huge doubt that 15 years of blundering Liberal rule created, yet for trying to bring down that debt he is booed. The province is stone broke, worse than basket case California, so Ford has to reduce expenses and expenditure, but numb-skull Ontario are too stupid to ‘get it’. You better pray hard!

Islamist, like islamophobia “is a word created by fascists and used by cowards to manipulate morons.” Because no imam, no mullah, no ayatrollah, no mosque, no islamic state, no islamic NGO self-identifies as islamist.

The CIA has already spent 18 months developing a network of agents in Britain to combat al-Qaeda, unprecedented in size within the borders of such a close ally, according to intelligence sources in both London and Washington.
Bruce Riedel, a former CIA officer who has advised Mr Obama, told The Sunday Telegraph: “The British Pakistani community is recognised as probably al-Qaeda’s best mechanism for launching an attack against North America.
“The American security establishment believes that danger continues and there’s very intimate cooperation between our security services to monitor that.” Mr Riedel, who served three presidents as a Middle East expert on the White House National Security Council, added: “President Obama’s national security team are well aware that this is a serious threat.”
It is alarming how America’s closest ally could have people who pose such a dangerous threat to the United States:

The admission of these trained, vicious fighters is a deliberate decision on the part of the British authorities to provide a sanctuary for ISIS in the UK. All of the ISIS fighters now become recruiters and trainers and dedicated to the radicalization of any person they come into contact with and recruiters of additional terrorists. It does not take Nostradamus to predict this will lead to the loss of many British lives in the future. It is a despicable act and those who allowed it are obvious traitors and should suffer the fate of traitors.

What sane government would welcome jihadist fighters back ? At this time in our life it seems that any left government would take them back even though the threat to their citizens is in the extreme ! Take Canada fore instance, our boy prime minister Justin Trudeau has stated publicly that all Canadian jihadists are welcome home. The Canadians can do nothing about it until the next election later this year and hopefully through them out of the country or imprison them for life ! GOD willing !
