30 Percent Of European-Born ISIS Fighters Are Returning To Their Homes

16

These men are enemy combatants. They should never be allowed to return. They joined a group that is at war with the countries to which they’re returning. Would the UK have allowed back a large number of British Nazis in 1943? This is absurd to the point of suicidal.

“30 Percent Of European-Born ISIS Fighters Are Returning To Their Homes, US Believes,” by Saagar Enjeti, Daily Caller, July 19, 2017 (thanks to Lookmann):

Nearly 30 percent of European foreign fighters for the Islamic State have returned to the continent, the U.S. Department of State annual country report on terrorism reveals.

Experts fear that some of the returning foreign fighters will pursue domestic terror plots in their home countries, or even use their passports to travel elsewhere in the West. The State Department, however, noted that “the overall number of departed foreign terrorist fighters originating from Western European and Balkan countries declined significantly in 2016 from the previous year.”

The number of European fighters who traveled to fight for ISIS is unknown, but estimates range in the thousands. U.S. based security intelligence advisory firm The Soufan Group (TSG) estimated that approximately 5,000 Western European fighters traveled to Iraq and Syria to join ISIS in 2015 alone. TSG also noted that 4,700 fighters were estimated to come from the former Soviet republics.

EU countries are scrambling to track foreign fighters upon their return, but they also must track domestic terror subjects, which are large enough in number they are already overwhelming security services.

The return of the fighters coincides with the large loss of territory suffered by the terrorist group in Iraq and Syria. The Europe based International Center for Counter-Terrorism noted in April 2016 that, while some foreign fighters returning to Europe may be disillusioned with the terrorist group, “others may return with the aim of carrying out terrorist attacks, with reports suggesting that IS may systematically export terror cells to Europe.”….

“This is absurd to the point of suicidal,” says Pam. She is, of course, right. The same could be said about the willful, petulant refusal of the left to admit the danger of militant Islam. The policies of the left in Western Europe and the U.S are remarkably similar. Michael Weiner, a radio talk show host, is banned from entering the UK, because he is deemed to be a right wing extremists. But Muslims who are to determined to destroy the west by violence and bloodshed are apparently OK.

When are we going to recognize that the left is committed to destroying our way of life and us, if we get in their way. When do the kid gloves come off? Or do we prefer suicide?

“Experts fear that some of the returning foreign fighters will pursue domestic terror plots in their home countries….” They FEAR? You think? No need, it’s going to happen. Probably all of them. ‘Hey europe, you let them back in. Now what.’

Sit back, relax, and wait

More European Whites will die horrendous deaths, and the European Whites must thank their ‘moderate, gentle, peaceful and loving’ moslem brothers, for causing their deaths

Over here, on the left side of the pond, we have a White woman brutally killed by a moslem terrorist cum Minneapolis cop

The dead White woman is only the latest entry to the large pool of statistics of innocent Whites killed by moslems, INSIDE AMERICA

Not a big deal, germany has allowed for shari’a police to operate with government approval, these veterans can be the core of a new german jihadist army.

We should just ship them back in chains to answer charges of warcrimes.
Not going to happen anytime soon but there is no statutory limit that would make warcrimes or crimes against humanity expire.

>… We should just ship them back in chains to answer charges of warcrimes …

Ship them back? Say what??

We should ship some excavators to the middle east and use them to dig some large holes in the middle of the middle eastern desert

Then we chain up those terrorists and throw them, all of them, into the hole

Then we dump the sand back into the hole

Islam belongs to the middle east desert

The islamic terrorists belong to the middle east desert

Bury them there, instead of shipping them back to Europe or America or Australia !!

When these clowns leave the USA to fight for ISIS we need to revoke their passports so they cannot return. This nonsense must stop.

We’ll stop them and Canada will let them go up there. Trudumb loves Muslims and will welcome anyone who wants to come to Canada with no questions asked. What can ya expect from a guy who not only let a terrorist back in but paid over 10 million to this terrorist who murdered a US soldier and blinded another one. Truly disgusting!

They should be picked up at the entry points of their countries and processed as enemy combatants until the war is over. They claim that they are “fighters”, but the fact is that they are NOT fighting for their own country. Therefore, they are insurgents needing to be taken out of the war.
