Nine Muslim medical students from UK working in Islamic State hospitals

A member loyal to the ISIL waves an ISIL flag in RaqqaMedical students? What? But…but…John Kerry and Marie Harf told me that poverty and ignorance causes terrorism!

“Nine British medical students believed to be in Syria – report,” Reuters, March 21, 2015 (thanks to Kenneth):

The group of four women and five men crossed into Syria from Turkey last week, having travelled from Sudan where they had been studying, said the story, published on the website of the Observer’s sister paper, the Guardian.

It quoted Turkish opposition politician Mehmet Ali Ediboglu, who had met members of the students’ families who were trying to persuade the students to return.

Britain’s security services estimate that some 600 Britons have gone to Syria or Iraq to join militant groups, including the man known as “Jihadi John”, who has appeared in several Islamic State beheading videos.

      Agreed! It is devotion to Islam which causes jihadism in Muslims, not poverty. Osama bin Laden was rich, and many rich Muslims finance terrorism. It is the peaceful Muslims who are perverting Islam, the religion of jihad, not the violent Muslims.

    Apparently they were studying in the Sudan, that hotbed of democracy, at the time.

    Star Asian Tory candidate planned fake English Defence League demo
    Afzal Amin promised a salary to the EDL to win him up to 4,000 voters
    Scheme would have seen thugs plan phoney march against ‘mega-mosque’
    EDL would then have called the rally off and Amin would have taken credit
    Conservative Party in disarray in key seat just weeks before the Election

    “British medics”????

    These are Sudanese assylum speakers who benefitted from a free education in the UK and then went to Khartoum to learn medicine.

    Why have these people got British passports?
