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

Belgium: Court strips eight Islamic state jihadis of their Belgian nationality

Aug 4, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This is a common sense move that other Western nations should emulate. These jihadis voluntarily joined an entity that is avowedly at war with their “home” countries. Letting them back in would be akin to Britain allowing British Nazis who went to Germany back into the country in 1942.

“Eight Brussels jihadists given eight days to hold on to their Belgian nationality,” Brussels Times, July 30, 2020 (thanks to Henry):

Eight Islamic State (IS) supporters from Brussels have been stripped of their Belgian nationality, in the latest move by a Belgian court to keep foreign terrorist fighters from returning to the country.

The decision to strip the eight fighters of their nationality was taken in absentia by the Brussels Court of Appeal, which also sentenced them to at least five years imprisonment.

The whereabouts of the eight men is unknown and they no longer have any known addresses abroad or in Belgium, which they are thought to have left to go join the ranks of the IS in Syria and Iraq.

The eight convicts, all from Brussels, now have eight days to appeal the decision before it becomes final, Le Soir reports.

Seven of them had already been tried and sentenced in absentia in the 2015 terrorism trial of Khalid Zerkani, sentenced for radicalising and recruiting at least 59 youths, mostly from the Brussels municipality of Molenbeek, between 2012 and 2013….

    Staggering, shattered, Dhimmi Britain should copy the Belgians, and cancel the citizenship of its Jihadis, and paedophile rape gangs, and but it won’t happen; that would be “racist”.

      They should be hanging them.

        If the British Government were to listen to what the public think, capital punishment would have to be re-instated. 50 odd years of softly-softly punishment has shown to be totally ineffectual.

          Appeasement only gets people killed.

        After cutting off their pens so it is guaranteed they won’t get a go at the 72 voluptuous doe eyed virgins and as a warning to the other lovers of the fat white dwarf that this behaviour will not be tolerated!

    Another example of a nation trying to claw back some semblance of civility and common sense.
    Anyone and I do mean anyone who joins a terrorist organisation should be dragged before a specialist court set up to deal with crimes against humanity and if found guilty sent to a ultra high security facility for the rest of their natural life.
    Only when the civilized world stands up in a united way will this stop.

    Meaningless to moslems.

      If they are deported that won’t be meaningless–especially to the Belgians, who will be a little bit safer.

    A highly enlightened move. Something other Western democracies need to emulate.

      Australia won’t do it the government here are afraid of the rest of them getting violent.
      Solution, target practice for our armed forces.

    Every one stripped of citizenship, or, better still, not allowed into a country in the first place makes that country just a little safer for its people.

    Meanwhile, across the Channel, this year alone more that 3500 ‘migrants’, mostly Muslim, have entered Britain illegally by taking small boats from France. They know from those already there that housing, generous benefits and free medical care await. But crucially, they know that the chances of being deported are low – so instead of trying to smuggle themselves onto lorries, they now openly sail into one of the world’s busiest waterways, knowing that they will be spotted by British authorities and ferried to land where they can trigger the asylum process.

    Incredibly, while the French are trying to discourage ‘migrants’, by destroying or confiscating tents and other possessions, British ‘charities’ are going through the woods of Northern France looking for them, then giving them material and logistical support which prepares them for their attempt to cross to Britain.

      Agree Mike.

      And Boris Johnson appears to be doing nothing to stop this invasion…

      Isn’t giving material support to aid terrorism a criminal offence, if these people are caught they should be jailed for life!
      If the people they are helping have a Quran they at the very least are terrorist sympathisers!

    Canada comes to mind now with no stopping Islamic migration in UK——–I feel there is so much danger on the horizon with the amount of Islamic migrants living in Hotels all over the Country——-Where are they going to live? even our own Christian homeless people cannot find homes——-Apart from that all Moslem want is their own kind and their own Sharia Law——-Boris Johnson has really let all his voters and supporters down There is no intention of quelling the Invasion with this compliant Government——They have no future vision Do they not see or hear about the crimes of Grooming gangs Rape Killings? Christians are being slaughtered in Nigeria India anywhere they have the upper hand and they are certainly well appeased in United Kingdom!!

    It’s a start. Then deport them all back to Syria. Islam does not belong in Belgium at all.
