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

Denmark to revoke the citizenship of Islamic State jihadists, declaring them “a threat to our security”

Oct 17, 2019 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“Amid concerns over returning fighters travelling to Europe from the conflict in Syria, the Danish government has announced plans to revoke citizenship from those who have taken up arms and joined terrorist groups in the Middle East.”

This is obvious: enemy combatants should they be regarded as citizens. The purpose of jihadists is to destroy Western civilization. They went overseas to wage battle against their so-called “home” countries. It is a danger and a waste of taxpayer dollars to allow these enemies the privilege of citizenship. They are not the same as every other citizen, as Canada’s misguided Justin Trudeau would have people believe, when he stated that “a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian.”

Honorable Canadian and other Western immigrants have fought for a decent livelihood, and they respect their fellow citizens.

Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen rightly stated of jihadists:

These are people who have turned their backs on Denmark and fought with violence against our democracy and freedom. They pose a threat to our security. They are unwanted in Denmark.

“Denmark to Revoke Citizenship from Danish ISIS Fighters,” by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart, October 15, 2019:

Amid concerns over returning fighters travelling to Europe from the conflict in Syria, the Danish government has announced plans to revoke citizenship from those who have taken up arms and joined terrorist groups in the Middle East.

Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said in a statement: “These are people who have turned their backs on Denmark and fought with violence against our democracy and freedom. They pose a threat to our security. They are unwanted in Denmark.

“The government will, therefore, do everything possible, to prevent them from returning to Denmark.”

Kurdish forces in Syria are currently holding an estimated 2,000 ISIS militants who have European passports. The Danish government believes that at least 158 Danish citizens have joined forces with Islamist groups in Iraq and Syria since 2012.

At least 27 are believed to still be in the conflict zone and 12 have been imprisoned by the Kurds.

“There is a risk that the Kurdish-controlled IS-camps in the border area will collapse and that foreign warriors with Danish citizenship will move toward Denmark,” said Frederiksen on Monday.

The new law would allow the government to remove citizenship for fighters who have dual citizenship without a court order. However, the legislation would not apply to those who only have Danish citizenship. Other European countries are said to be considering similar proposals, fearing prisoners released in the Syrian conflict may return to Europe to commit acts of terrorism…..

    Soon, Sweden and France will get this memo and the citizens will insist on removing dual citizens or residents who are terrorists. The pushback to JIHAD is spreading westward in Europe. The jihadists must be deeply concerned.

    It’s a half measure at best. Those who do not have dual citizenship will not be affected.

    A sound move of the newly elected Social Democrat PM Mette Frederiksen. She’s not the worst of her kind. Maybe she has skewed to polls showing ppl taking more and more distance to, especially Moslems.

    Well, hold me back! Where did they finally get this idea from, and are they quite sure about this?
    Every so often a breakthrough appears in the clouds and a bright ray of light shines down. Well hallelujah!

    They’re a threat to EVERYONE’S security!! Deporting them is not the solution. What does one do with Cancer in the body?

      I believe we kill it before it spreads.

    So glad Denmark is waking up to jihad threats. Now Danish lawmakers must follow through and be consistent with their new understanding of Islam. I like the idea of deporting all jihadists to Antarctica.
