British authorities have absolutely no idea what to do about the phenomenon of whole families of Muslims leaving Britain to travel to the Islamic State, because they refuse to face what motivates these families to make such a move. And so there will be many, many more cases like this one.
“London mother and four children bound for Syria, say police,” Guardian, August 29, 2015 (thanks to Lookmann):
A missing mother and her four children are feared to be travelling from Britain to Syria, Scotland Yard has said.
Police are trying to trace Zahera Tariq, 33, her sons Muhammad, 12, Amaar, 11, Aadid, 4, and daughter Safiyyah, 9, who were last seen at her home address in Walthamstow, east London, on Tuesday.
They were believed to have flown from London City airport to Amsterdam later the same day and may be on their way to Syria, police said.
A family member contacted police on Wednesday to report the family of five missing, and raised concerns they could be on their way to the conflict zone….
Several cases have emerged in which women and children from the UK are thought to have left for parts of Syria controlled by Islamic State….
Scotland Yard recently confirmed that it believed more than 40 women and girls had travelled to Syria from Britain in the past year.

Who cares what motivates them. Just give them a one-way ticket to their Islamic utopia. Western countries should be making the tickets free upon request, with the only condition being the person must surrender their citizenship.
mortimer says
Paying for repatriation is a good idea, but they don’t want to go to a hell hole. They want to enjoy the freedom-based prosperity as they work to destroy it and turn all Western countries into Sharia hell holes.
Aardvark says
As a British citizen I am very happy about whole families of mohammedans packing up and leaving the country. I wish they would ALL do the same!
And if they are paying for their own passage, all the better! They’ve already cost the British taxpayer a small fortune. (Although, come to think of it, even if they are paying for their own tickets, the money almost certainly came from benefits paid out of my taxes).
Just need to make sure they don’t come crawling back when they find out what the accurately-named Islamic State is really like. Oh, and we also need to stop any benefit payment they may have been receiving.
Gea says
Let all 50 millions of Muslim invaders to Europe go and join ISIS and STAY there, never allow them to come back to Europe… Our Obama sponsored Muslim invaders should all join them. Shut down all mosques and do not let anybody who follows that criminal Mohamed (pedophile, polygamist, rapist, misogynist, looter, slaver and mass murderer). that included Barack Hussein Obama who defended this criminal Mohamed at the UN after allowing murder of US Ambassador in Benghazi.
Why is this traitor Obama still in a White house? Who keeps him there?
Pilgrim 1620 says
We Americans are wondering the same thing. He came into office promising hope and change. The only change that we have left are the few coins in our pockets. The only hope is that the damage that he has done can be rectified.
He has done the U.S. some good, though. He has shown us exactly how fragile democracy really is when a leader won’t adhere to the rule of law!
BW022 says
This isn’t good.
First, it is adding fighters are resources to ISIS. These will kill more people, murder more Christians, possibly take Syria, likely need to more dead western soldiers when the inevitable ground war happens, etc.
Second, it means there is a chance these people can come back — likely trained, armed, and with plans to carry out attacks in western nations. Trying to keep these people out is a lot harder. Stripping children of their citizenship? Trying to determine who was dragged there and who is a jihadi?
Third, it represents a massive failure of western nations to deal with the problem. We are too weak to arrest, detain, strip these people of their passports, ban travel, to shut down the mosques teaching this stuff in the first place, etc.
This is not dealing with the problem. It is simply shipping it elsewhere and hoping it doesn’t come back and bite you. It will. The world is a much smaller place.
Lia Wissing says
I’d say, ‘Let them go … and never come back’. Is that so difficult to grasp?
william Rodgers says
One way ticket, surrender citizenship, sign an agreement that they may never return or face execution as an enemy of the state
Alamo47 says
What isn’t there for the government to understand. Don’t stop them, let them go and then immediately cancel their passport or visa or whatever they have to be in the country, and their government welfare payments. One less family to feed off the government.
Caroline says
Unfortunately, there is an army of human rights lawyers willing to to uphold this woman, and many more like her, in their battle against the British state, we are being brought down by the enemy within and their allies, Quislings all.
mortimer says
The UK government (especially Theresa May) needs to learn that conducting jihad is a NORMATIVE DUTY incumbent upon ALL Muslims and therefore not an aberration or ‘perversion’ of Islam, but as required as prayer, alms and fasting. Muslims who answer the call by the caliph are considered ‘good Muslims’…not ‘terrorists’. They are merely doing THEIR DUTY.
Until Muslims stop believing this Bronze Age obscurantism, they will continue to commit acts of terrorism.
Pazuzu says
What’s the beef about? Are Britons sad to see their muslims go home? At least their getting-the-hell out of YOUR country. If I lived in England I’d be overjoyed at their departure. DON’T COME BACK.
mortimer says
DUTY OF JIHAD (required reading by UK civil servants, school teachers, police)
Fard al-Ayn
In Islamic law, refers to legal obligations that must be performed by each individual Muslim, including prayer, charity, fasting, and pilgrimage. Individual obligation is contrasted with communal obligation (fard al-kifayah). The question of whether the obligation of “reproaching the unjust ruler” or, more generally, the obligation to “command the good and FORBID THE REPREHENSIBLE” (VERBAL jihad) is an obligation on each individual or can be satisfied by PART of the community is debated, particularly among Shii scholars.
Fard al-Kifayah
Defines a communal obligation in Muslim legal doctrine. In juxtaposition to fard al-ayn, fard al-kifayah is a legal obligation that must be discharged by the Muslim community as a whole, SUCH AS MILITARY STRUGGLE (violent jihad); if enough members in the Muslim community discharge the obligation, the remaining Muslims are freed from the responsibility before God. However, if a communal obligation is not sufficiently discharged, then EVERY INDIVIDUAL MUSLIM must act to address the deficiency. In recent Islamic literature, this terminology is used to discuss social responsibility, such as feeding the hungry, commanding good, and forbidding evil.

Caroline says
She won’t be missed, but no doubt she will be whining to return in a couple of months. I know I should feel sorry for the children, but all I see is the next generation being brought up to hate everything I love.
Duane Foster says
Could this start a new trend? That would be a dream come true.
abad says
Good.
The fewer Muslims in the UK, the better.
Oh and UK – be smart and do NOT allow her back in.
Ginger says
To answer a previous question, most Brits consider the more the merrier, as long as their passports are torn up and they aren’t allowed back. Naturally, the people who ‘fear’ for the absconders are the very same people in authority who allow them back in with nothing more than a slapped wrist for being a bit misguided.
Seven hundred is the very conservative guesstimate for the number of jihadists who have gone from GB, mostly England, to fight for IS and there are too many who’ve returned for the security services to keep tabs on. It’s not a case of ‘if’ but ‘when’.
As for this particular dimwit mother, she’s too dumb to grasp that IS isn’t interested in her. It’s the kids they’re after. The terror group now has three potential suicide bombers and one under-age girl to rape.
Karen says
Yes, and the girl will be made super-holy with a few FGM snips here and there.
Sam says
Poor Moslem kids. They are abused by Islam from birth to their own suicide.
Aspy says
So whats the hassle? It’s best for Britain.
Let them (worthless junk)all go happily. It’s the best way to be rid of them. Remember to revoke their citizenship on departure. Only NEVER EVER ALLOW them re-entry into Britain on any grounds whatsoever.
They will realize their monumental error when they, get their ‘butts whipped’ by the ISIS/are disillusioned later.
Carlos Danger says
Good. A perfect solution. I’d help fund a one-way ticket as long as British Passports are surrendered at Gatwick.
Edward says
Great, free willed reverse immigration (un-migration that is)!
If they find it hard to assimilate here in the WEST they should return to their motherland to free them from Islamophobia!
Stipulating why they are living?
Perhaps, they fear the silence before the storm!
Let’s say they have acquired a fear of REASONABLE PEOPLE, a phobia!
When exiting from the host countries they should forfeit all benefits they have been entitled to as neutralized citizens and they should surrender their passports issued to them as well.
It would be a prudent thing to do so!
Prudent: careful in providing for their future; provident
Edward says
Oooops! correction is in order.
Stipulating why they are living? It should’ve been: Stipulating why they are leaving?
A dilemma that we are facing causes great distractions that will manifest by many great errors!
Brian says
Bon voyage! Don’t bother with the postcard “wishing you were here”…no thanks, and please stay there for the rest of your hate filled lives…no doubt ISIS have set up a nice former Christian home for you and your brood to live in.
Jonathan says
Who gives a shit why they’re doing it? Let them go, and don’t let them come back! Hell, why not send ALL western Muslims to ISIS? Let them go fix their religions own damn problems.
BC says
In a democratic society and in the open borders laws of the EU it is difficult to prevent people travelling
out of a state. At the moment we only have assumptions
“London mother and four children bound for Syria, say police,. i doubt the police have said that as they simply do not know. It is noteworthy that there is no mention of a husband, One would have thought he would have comments to give. I thought Muslim women could not travel without their husband’s permission. Perhaps the 15 year old is acting as the ‘guardian’.
My theory for what it is worth is that the husband is in fact already in Syria, time will reveal the facts perhaps
william Rodgers says
I think this reverse immigration is much better than deportation. Let’s hope it catches on with all the illegals, mexicans, and all islamists here in America. Cause when Trump is resident they’ll go anyway.
Mark says
Folks, lets not forget… we got isis in every western country when the first muslim entered a western country.
Isis is the total agenda of all mainstream islams teachings and it allways has been.
Angemon says
Good riddance, and if she’s never allowed back (you know, the common sense course of action in such cases) it will still be too soon…
