Re: Jihadist returning from Syria.

Of course it is an emotive subject.
Did your father or your grandfather fight for this country? Did they make a difference to the freedoms which are enjoyed in this country?
Wasn't their aim to ensure that people could worship the religion that they believed in without fear of being persecuted.
Do you think that freedom is available in the Middle East?
It matters not whether ten jihadis go to support IS....or ten thousand. They have renounced the freedoms which they had here.....they were free to go to the mosque of their choice.....no one forced them to renounce their faith...or to covert to a religion in which they had no choice and no belief.
They have gone abroad to support a barbaric regime which commits genocide......which gives peaceful tribes 12 hours to convert to their brand of Islam or be beheaded.
Isn't this fascism? What our fathers and grandfathers fought to eradicate.
But maybe my emotions are getting in the way of my reasoning....and for this I make absolutely no apology!
