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

Nine UK Muslims, including four children, arrested by Turkish cops as they try to join the Islamic State

Apr 1, 2015 5:32 pm By Robert Spencer

Islamic StateWill the bemused Mr. Cameron stop to ponder why what he is so very certain is a misunderstanding of Islam is so very widespread among “Britons”? Almost certainly not.

“Nine Britons including four children are arrested by Turkish police as they try to illegally enter Syria,” by Sara Malm, MailOnline, April 1, 2015 (thanks to Thomas Pellow):

Nine British nationals have been arrested while trying to cross the border into Syria illegally, the Turkish Armed forces say.

Three men, two women and four children were detained by soldiers at a military outpost at Ogulpinar, Hatay province, Sky News reports.

The military says the group, all with British passports, have been taken into custody, but the statement did not specify when the arrests were made.

It has not yet been confirmed if the Britons were en-route to join the Islamic State, and the UK Foreign Office has said it is looking into the reports.

Thousands of foreigners have joined the ranks of Islamic State and other radical groups in Syria and Iraq, many of them crossing through Turkey.

The country has faced criticism for not better controlling its southeastern borders, and in turn has accused European countries of failing to prevent would-be jihadists from travelling in the first place….

Security services estimate 600 Britons have gone to Syria or Iraq to join militant groups.

    Everything Islam touches either withers or dies.

    How many more children must be slaughtered or be sold into sex slavery so that would-be jihadists be allowed to flaunt their five prayer a day hate?
    Look into the eyes of an innocent young child and here what they say.
    There is no more room on earth for this religion of hate.

    Any suggestion that such Muslims may have volunteered to go to support the Islamic jihadists of Islamic State, seems to be beyond the comprehension of Britain’s political class.

    “…allowed to flaunt their five prayer a day hate”

    Yeah, and what’s more…as you so aptly point out, those “prayers” are nothing more or less than HATE SPEECH against everyone who they perceive to be their enemies – which would be practically everyone and everything that squeaks or breathes!!!

    Just reading the “comments” section yet again gives an indication of how out of touch our political leaders are with British people. Virtually everyone I know actually WANTS these delusionals to be allowed to leave, but not allowed back in.

    “Judging by the comments no-one here wants to stop them going. Mustn’t be allowed back.”(John of Grimsby). Has anyone in the MS media actually asked these politicians what is gained by keeping these people on our shores?

      To Peter Buckley-

      if British politicians are like Obama and Pelosi and Reid and other asshole liberals– what is gianed by keeping these slime in the home country IS VOTES FOR THEIR FELLOW SLIME (IF NOT IN THEIR STATE) OR THEMSELVES (IF IN THEIR STATE).

      Consider, in the 2008 election, PRISONERS IN CHICAGO JAILS GOT ABSENTEE BALLOTS BEFORE MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY, WHO ARE REGISTERED VOTERS IN CHICGAO

    600 jihadists from Britain who will be allowed back, though WAR CRIMINALS. Will they receive live sentences? Will they be a danger to citizens? Will they spread their infection to inmates and other civilians? Wouldn’t it be better to exile them? Or build a Devil’s Island (like Guantanamo)? If every country had a Devil’s Island, the jihadists would quickly be rounded up and segregated. New jihadists? Build another island jail.

      Mortimer, I think it would be better if they all (a) went to Iraq and/or Syria and (b) were killed. And (c) SOONER RATHER THEN LATER.

    The real story here is “what took you so long Turkey?” Thousands of wanabee Jihadis have passed through Turkey on the way to Syria. Why have the Turks only now been able to spot them? What about the admission from the captured ISIS fighter that weapons and ammunition was supplied through Turkey?
    The ongoing proxy support of ISIS by Turkey in their war against the Iran linked Assad regime is the real story. If Turkey sealed its border with Turkey, how long would the Islamic State last?

    ‘Brits’ yeah, right. It takes more than just being born here to make someone British I’m sorry. If it were that simple, then Jesus was a horse. Let ’em go, all of ’em. One way of course…

    why does the UK government think we in Britain want these idiots to come back to Britain? Let them go,we don’t want them back. In fact if people want to go and join IS let them do it,good riddance.
