Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Hundreds of jihadists have been able to slip out of UK to join the Islamic State because they “weren’t properly monitored”

Feb 28, 2015 1:30 pm By Robert Spencer

Islamic StateTheir being able to slip out to join the Islamic State is not an immediate problem for Hopeless Britannia, except insofar as it highlights the absolute unwillingness and/or inability of British authorities to face the jihad threat realistically and do what has to be done to stop the jihadist advance. No doubt monitoring these young men more closely would have been “Islamophobic.”

“Hundreds of Islamic extremists like Jihadi John have been able to slip out of Britain to join ISIS because they ‘weren’t properly monitored,’” by Ollie Gillman, MailOnline, February 28, 2015:

Hundreds of ISIS extremists like Mohammed Emwazi have been free to leave Britain because they were not being properly monitored by the security services, the Government has admitted.

Young men on the fringes of terror groups were not investigated thoroughly by the police and intelligence agencies, allowing them to leave for Syria, a report has revealed.

It has also been revealed that MI5 and Scotland Yard are observing 3,000 people in the UK that they fear could become another Jihadi John.

Counter-terror investigators from the police and security services have launched Project Danube, a joint unit which will examine ‘the levels of risk posed by low-level subjects of interest’, The Times reported.

The operation will monitor people who were previously not thoroughly examined as officers followed leads which posed a greater risk.

The move will heap yet more pressure on Britain’s intelligence agencies, which are said to have more than 3,000 fanatics in the UK on their terror watch list.

Many of these are feared to be ‘lone wolves’ who have never joined a terrorist group or travelled abroad.

The figure is far higher than previous estimates, which put the number of extremists being monitored in 2007 at 2,000….

    The Jihadis should be free to exercise their fundamental human right to leave, but they must not be allowed to return.

      You would think it would be easier to keep them out. If they’re going to fight the civilized world, that should be the end of citizenship.

        Like the Rotherham rascals, the authorities are behind this. Monitoring 3000+ jihadis and wasting taxpayers’ money isn’t exactly smart management – giving them a one-way ticket to the caliphate is more appropriate.

        Any citizen joining the Jihad has already abrogated his citizenship by rejecting the allegiance to the nation’s constitution – he has become an enemy of the state.

        Now what’s wrong with the British Government – especially the Home Ministry – a complicity ?

    “…more than 3,000 fanatics in the UK on their terror watch list.”

    WHAT? HOLY CRAP! And those are the ones they KNOW about! No doubt there are several times that number in total.

    The amount of money and manpower that’s being wasted on keeping up this politically correct facade is astonishing! Every single one of these known bastards should have been either deported or shipped to some sort of modern Devil’s Island that European nations DESPERATELY need to set up to deal with these murdering savages — who are costing them so much money and more and more innocent lives!

      Pass some tighter laws so that if you even suspect that anyone is terror minded you can look into their daily activities to see if there is just even a possibility that they are going to join isis and if by some means they do then place on the books a shoot on sight law so that even the thought of being killed, if they return, just might deter them.. I’m just being. This is just facetiae….No one is going to pass such laws

    Let them go ti ISIS. Recall their passports. Never let them back in. Problem solved.

      That sounds all well and good to let them go and revoke their passports but what about family.. Won’t their family that is left in country try and help financially or otherwise???

    Many of these are feared to be ‘lone wolves’ who have never joined a terrorist group or travelled abroad.

    How many of these “lone wolves” are answering to the howl of al-Baghdadi?

      They are joining as citizens of the caliphate.

    because the west wont make a move on Islamic terror now terrorist muslims are slipping right under there noses

    The clear and clearly stated strategy of Islamic Jihadism is to bankrupt the West by forcing it to spend massive and crushing sums to counter the threat that is fielded by the West’s own immigration policies. Security requires the hire of a full-time security expert to monitor every Muslim who has, or is becoming ‘radicalized’. That comes at a cost. A very high cost. And affirmative action hiring policies that dictate hiring people from the same hostile ideology that is being monitored make the entire enterprise a tragic farce.

    On the bright side their presence in Is territory is making it more likely they will be killed there. It is better for them to die in Iraq or Syria than to do some harm in UK

    I cannot understand why anyone would complain of the “slipping out”, I would have thought that was a blessing. In fact the better solution to the problem of islamic nutters in the west is to create covert false flag recruitment centers which send all those nutters to die in some desert in africa or the ME(libya, iraq, syria?) Getting them out should be the first priority and sending them to die somewhere distant the second priority just do not be foolish enough to make the mistake the second time by letting them back in…….. although I have no doubt the mistake will be made.

      Precisely.
      Let them all go never to return. Otherwise they are jailed for a while, and when out they commit Jihad in their host countries. It is cheaper financially and prudent from a security perspective to get rid of all the Muslims who want to join ISIS. If they are not killed in battle there, they will probably be murdered by their colleagues for some transgression, such as smoking.
      So stop the nonsense and let them get out in droves.

    What is the purpose of wanting to keep them in the country that they obviously hate. Let them go and don’t let them back in. Hopefully, they will be terminated on the battlefield. What’s wrong with these countries including the USA? Have they got a death wish?

    The muzzie terrorists will come home to roost and destroy Cameron’s labor party and himself. It will be a fitting outcome seeing that the Brits have enabled muslims throughout the world to destroy their christian neighbors.
    England will soon become just another muslim cesspool.
