And now he wants to return to Germany. Germany would have to be suicidal to take him back. And of course, Germany is suicidal.
“What to Do with Islamic State Returnees?,” Spiegel Online, February 25, 2019:
“Do you know what the best thing about my jihad for Allah was?” Bajram G., an Islamist from near Bonn who is classified as a potential threat by the German authorities, asked an acquaintance of his over Facebook. The best thing, he wrote, answering his own question, was shooting three enemies to death, all of whom were “infidels.” Then he took one of his victim’s phones, he wrote, called a woman in the contact list and told her he was standing with his boot on the victim’s head. The woman, he claimed, started screaming.
It’s not clear whether these atrocities ever really took place, or whether G. was simply trying to sound important. What is clear, though, is that the Islamist has since dramatically changed his tone.
In a letter to his family in Germany, he wrote: “I miss you very much. Maybe you’ve heard I’ve been captured?” The letter was delivered via the Red Cross from a detention camp near the northern Syrian town of Qamishli. In another letter, he wrote: “Mama, please let me know how you’re all doing and whether you know how to get me out of here. What do the authorities say? I just want to come home. I want to get out of here.”
Bajram G., 25, is a German citizen and the son of immigrants from Kosovo. He was only 20-years-old and still in school when he disappeared from Germany and, according to investigators, joined Islamic State (IS). He is one of thousands of Islamists who left Europe to join the fight, a large number of whom are now sitting in prisons run by the U.S.-backed Kurdish militia YPG. These fighters of the “Caliphate” have now become prisoners of war.
The German government must now grapple with several difficult questions: How should it deal with these prisoners of war? Must someone like Bajram G. be repatriated? What would be done with him once he returned? So far, Berlin has yet to come up with any concrete answers….

Sounds like the world may need some Nuremberg style trials for ISIS War Criminals. Whatever country they end up in, they should be sitting in jail for a very, very long time at a minimum.
Steven RSA says
In this case, no noose would be bad noose.
Tut bauer says
Exactly
Walters m says
Indeed some Nuremberg type trials are needed.
mortimer says
Agree with Grumpy. These crimes against humanity should be tried in the World Criminal Tribunal.
Kesselman says
ISIS is in the same league as the former Waffen-SS. Back then they were given special treatment; often combat members were sentenced to death.
mortimer says
Agree. ISIS is a fascist terror organization … but they are steadfastly and ISLAMIC terror organization following what it considers an infallible divine revelation. The ‘Fuehrer-Princip’ of Nazism is similar to the ‘Prophet Principle’ within Islam.
The result is an AMORAL and OPPORTUNISTIC methodology.
mortimer says
Eventually, the INTELLIGENCE agencies in all Western countries will realize that the one-and-only successful method of deprogramming jihadists is to deprogram them RIGHT OUT of Islam by using a method called ‘ABSOLUTE DEPROGRAMMING’. By allowing jihadists a reduced sentence, authorities will lead them through a university-level course of study in the ‘revisionist theory’ of Islam with the latest in archeological and textual findings. By the end of the course, no one will believe in Islam or that it had a miraculous origin. The only ‘miracle’ of Islam is how many people bury their heads in the desert sands and refuse to see the errors and absurdities within the Islamic primary source tests.

Mortimer, you keep flogging this here, yet have never been able to point to a single case where this has worked.
alex dennison says
How many of these jihadists have the IQ necessary to follow a university-level program?
gravenimage says
Jihadi brags about killing “infidel” and then calling a woman on victim’s contact list to taunt her about the murder
………………….
Horrifying. Never let them back in.
keith Oades says
But he’s been deradicalized and is not a threat to anyone,,,,,,,except infidels!!!
Ever notice how these sicko’s are only sorry for their actions AFTER they have been caught!
alex dennison says
Leave these idiots in the Middle East to rot.
