“We send you the greetings of Islam from the blessed lands of al-Sham. By the grace of Allah [..] he has enabled us to enter the blessed lands. The lands which the kuffar back home always tell you that if you plan to reach there will be a consequence for you.” In reality, it is unlikely that there will be any consequences forthcoming. The British have already allowed 250 Muslims who waged jihad in Syria to return home. Not to have done so would have been “Islamophobic.”
“British fighters in Syria urge others to join them,” by Richard Hall for the Independent, March 20:
A British citizen fighting with an extremist rebel group in Syria has issued a call for others to join the country’s civil war.
In a video posted online, a masked man speaking in a London accent says that “the doors of jihad are still open,” and claims that he has helped three other Brits make the journey to Syria.
The man is believed to be a member of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis) – an extremist Islamist rebel group formerly affiliated with al-Qa’ida and similar in ideology. He has appeared in several other videos uploaded by a group called Rayat al-Tawheed, which claims to be the distributor of English-language materials for Isis.
The plea from the rebel fighter comes as UK authorities are becoming increasingly concerned at the number of British citizens travelling to Syria to join extremist groups in the three year old civil war. British and other non-Syrians travelling to Syria tend to gravitate towards al-Qa’ida-type groups that espouse global jihad.
The total number of British participants in the conflict is estimated to be in the “hundreds”, with as many as 20 thought to have died in the fighting. Charles Farr, the Home Office’s terror chief, warned recently that Brits travelling to Syria represented the “the biggest challenge” to the security services since the 2001 Twin Tower attacks.
In a previous video, the same man spoke of the difficulties of fighting in Syria, saying “you don’t just come here, put on a tactical vest, grab a Kalashnikov and get a big beard.” In the video uploaded yesterday he takes a different approach, and actively encourages others to join him.
“We have managed to bring in three or four beloved brothers of Islam. You can see for yourself,” he says, while sitting atop a heavy machine. The camera then turns to another man, wearing a balaclava, who also speaks with a British accent.
“We send you the greetings of Islam from the blessed lands of al-Sham. By the grace of Allah [..] he has enabled us to enter the blessed lands. The lands which the kuffar back home always tell you that if you plan to reach there will be a consequence for you.”…As Isis and other jihadist groups have come under greater pressure from other rebels, many foreign fighters have fled Syria and returned to their country of origin. Senior security officials have said that around 250 British “extremist tourists” have returned home, and are now suspected of wanting to carry out attacks here. Scotland Yard revealed earlier this year that Syria-related terrorism arrests are soaring with 16 so far this year, compared with 24 for all of 2013.
250 British “extremist tourists” have returned home. Only counter-jihadists can’t enter Dhimmi Britannia.

Let every muslim in the UK go to Syria. Shut and lock the door after the last one leaves.
eib says
Yes, yes, let the Muslims join up in Syria.
And even if they are ethnically English, should they wish to return, the door must be slammed in their faces.
Go to Syria.
Do not return.
dumbledoresarmy says
Exactly.
If the native non-Muslim British knew that every mohammedan who left the UK to go jump into the jihad bloodbath in Syria, would not be permitted to return…EVER…then I think an awful lot of mohammedans in the UK would start receiving anonymous letters with white feathers inside, asking them why they were shirking their duty of supporting their brother jihadis in Syria.
Charli Main says
They will also be getting plenty of letters packed with white feathers from the Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and Jews.
The behaviour and activities of these Muslim vermin impact negatively on every other community living in Britain.
enwhitenment says
The problem is not with them going to Syria the problem is letting them return from Syria.
After slaughtering their share of women & children they should be refused re entry & left to live out their lives in their beloved lands.
These mutts just wish to kill for thrill so let them stay and enjoy the fruits of their labour.
The Syrian people are the victims yet all the attention & money gets spent on the criminals.
Drop them back in Islamafad & let the locals deal with them.
Salah says
‘..a masked man speaking in a London accent says that “the doors of jihad are still open,”’
Actually what he means is: We’re losing the war, we need help!
Assad is winning, Obama and his jihadist friends are losing. Period.
enwhitenment says
Assad = Mahdi (HE IS WELL QUALIFIED WITH YEARS OF EXPERIENCE)
No wonder the rats are running home to mum

This doesn’t even make sense. The vast number of Muslims heading to Syria to wage violent Jihad are Sunni Jihadists who are *fighting* Assad.

These delusional boys will die painfully or be locked up for many years. The UK government should cancel their passports.
dumbledoresarmy says
Every person here who is a citizen in *any* non-Muslim land from which members of the invading mohammedan colonies are departing to go join Jihad in Syria, should be writing to our Foreign Minister, Defence Minister, and Immigration minister, and to our elected representatives in general, and *demanding* that anyone known or reasonably presumed to be waging jihad in Syria must NOT be permitted back in; and that ideally such persons should be stripped of their Infidel-country passports and citizenship, seeing as they are making it abundantly plain that their sole and prior loyalty is to the Ummah, or Mohammedan Mob, the Empire of Islam, whether in its Sunni or its Shiite manifestation.
We have *got* to start pushing, all of us, no matter where we are: in Australia, Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Netherlands, India, Israel, *everywhere* from which mohammedans are known to have gone off to Syria to “slay and be slain in the cause of allah”.

Listening the other day to Democracy Now in my car, I chanced upon a morally disgusting Islam apologist referring to a new Jewish push-back influence in American college campuses whereby, he said, pro-Israel people are trying to turn the tide of students learning about Palestinian “rights” into an Islamophobic student culture.
Well, call it what they will, but we welcome our American Jews finally pushing back in a communications marketplace way too long held hostage by aggressive propagators of Islamic privilege in our nation! Wish this had started long ago!

Excellent news!

-And rather than expose and warn against this real threat from Islamic jihadists in Britain, the BBC has carried pieces on-line and on TV this week which show political sympathy with such jihadists; it’s as though the 7/7 massacre and the Woolwich horror never happened!
Pitkin says
Listen to and read the MSM in the UK and all you would learn is that there have been a small number of arrests of people in England suspected of aiding jihadis travelling to Syria or planning to travel to Syria. Beyond that, we have had endless coverage of the doctor who died in prison there, and the hardhearted Foreign Office officials who didn’t help his family. That, and all the usual tolerance, anti-Islamophobia, diversity, thought crime policing, don’t say anything nasty about Islam stuff.
The viper nurtured in the UK’s bosom has turned in to a massive python. That there are 250 of these returned jihadis in the UK right now (that they know of) is utterly terrifying. British citizens are being tethered as sacrifices to doctrines we never voted for, find repulsive and yet we can be jailed if we speak up too loudly against all this community diverse “cohesion”. Where will this end? Nowhere I want to live.

“Al-Qa’ida, the second act: Syria’s secular uprising has been hijacked by jihadists.
“In the fourth of his series about the resurgence of al-Qa’ida, Patrick Cockburn examines how Islamists have turned the uprising against President Assad into a sectarian war.”

The sensible thing would be to lock these jihadists out of the house, but acting sensibly is not something the UK gov has been doing in recent years.
The wiser thing to do is lock Geller/Spencer and Michael Savage out of the house, and welcome back the jihadists. Not a very good path, but it seems to be the one they are on.

And why is al-Sham (Syria) considered a “blessed land”?
Why, because it is a bloody Jihad war zone, riddled with explosions, executions, kidnappings, rape, and other savagery.
God, I hate Islam.

Let these agents of heretical totalitarianism go off and get themselves killed and good riddance. If they come back to try and undermine our own democracy as proven terrorists, and leech off our state at the expense of our productive workers and the benefit claimants of our own country, shove the door in their face and tell them to take a suicide bomb and ride it to the middle of a very distant sea.
