They were probably attempting to join the Islamic State. The lure of the caliphate is consistently underestimated by Western authorities. Meanwhile, the witless dhimmi Brits show a continued uncuriosity about why so many Muslims in the UK keep on misunderstanding the Religion of Peace in this way.
“Six terror arrests at Dover port,” BBC, April 4, 2015:
Six people have been arrested in Dover on suspicion of Syria-related terrorism offences, says West Midlands Police.
Five men and one woman in their 20s were detained at about 08:00 BST on Friday in the departure zone of the Kent port, police said on Twitter.
Searches have taken place at a number of addresses in Birmingham….
Four of the men arrested are from Birmingham – a 25-year-old from Small Heath, two 26-year-olds from Acocks Green and Alum Rock and a 28-year-old from Lozells, police said.
A man aged 26 and a 23-year-old woman of no fixed address were also held….
They did not pose any immediate risk to public safety, the force added.

Such U.K Muslim-Islamic State connections seems to have become almost daily occurrences.
What are British authorities likely to do?
1.) issue more empty, pompous statements about the need for ‘vigilance’;
2.) take no urgent action against internal and external Islamic jihad threat;
3.) make more Islamophilic political gestures in the run in to the General Election.
Babs says
We in the UK are more and more frustrated by the fact that our “government” (if that’s what you can call it) is more afraid of attracting Muslim anger if it does what is so patently needed, than acting in the best interests of ALL the people of the UK.
All the UK, Muslims included, would benefit from the government and police growing a spine and dealing with these scum as they should be dealt with. Born here or not, they are not British if they engage in treasonous activity.
I don’t believe a word they say. They are enslaved to Islamic money.
Betty says
Thomas all the above.
Caroline says
Don’t worry, our Home Secretary Theresa May has things in hand. Should they win the next election, our government are going to bring in a specific hate crime law against anyone being unpleasant to Muslims. Job done, more appeasement always works, doesn’t it?

mmm, Small Heath and Alum Rock. virtually no-go areas of Birmingham these days. the very heart of England, and we are no longer welcome there. what have we done…

Also in Islamizing Birmingham, England-
“Up to 100 Islamist teachers could be banned from schools after investigation into their links with Trojan Horse scandal found dozens claiming Lee Rigby’s murder was a hoax.”
“NCTL is investigating some 100 staff with links to the Trojan Horse affair.
“In Birmingham schools, extremist Islamic views forced on staff and pupils.
“Led to five schools being placed under special measures after inspection.
“Allegations being looked at include claims al-Qaeda style video copied.
“Staff members also alleged sent offensive messages in a WhatsApp group .”

From the article – “They did not pose any immediate risk to public safety, the force added.”
Gee, that’s nice to know.
Not an *immediate* threat. Like, they’re not considered likely to Go Jihad against British infidels ‘immediately’, or, say, within the next few …days? weeks? months?
But they might, and they probably *will*, **sometime**.
What fun, wondering when, exactly, they are going to hit ‘critical’ and Go Jihad all over the landscape.
They should not have been arrested.
They should not have been stopped from leaving Britain!
They were deporting themselves to the war zone in Syria.
They should have been wafted on their way, but…the moment it was known, with reasonable certainty, that they were *in* Syria and engaged in jihad/ support for jihad, then…pfffffft, their British citizenship should have been annulled along with their British passports.
Let them go; don’t let them back in.
*That* should be the watchword of all non-Muslim lands from which, at the moment, both raised-Muslim and convert-to-Islam wannabe jihadis (and in some cases their camp followers/ nearest and dearest) are galloping off to join Islamic State.
Concomitantly, stop *mporting* Muslims altogether.
The first Infidel nation that starts doing this, consistently, will find that its Homeland Security headache – and related enormous expense – reduces considerably.
Lia Wissing says
You are so right, Dumbledoresarmy. I support!

”They did not pose any immediate risk to public safety, the force added”
No, but they will **now**, because instead of letting them go, and **never letting them back in**, our government has ensured they are now free to spin their vile murder plots in **Britain**.
This is just utterly, criminally, suicidal.
Betty says
Brits leaders and American leaders all went to the same school for dummies.

I posted my comment before reading the previous ones; dda has said it better than me !

Sorry to be off-topic, but who has read THIS in the UK ‘Mail on Sunday’….”Attacks on Muslims will become specific hate crime, say Tories in bid to establish full extent of Islamophobia in Britain”….
Betty says
if your are attacked by muslims it is a hate crime. and any one that is attacked should sue them. and then the government for letting it happen.
