The news keeps on getting better in the West for Islamic supremacists and jihadists, as self-inflicted threats to democracy and national security increase.
When jihadists enter Western countries via slack immigration policies, or as in this case, a reckless and ill-considered court decision, many of them continue their jihad mission. Contrary to the assumptions of cretinous Western leaders and bleeding hearts who are advocating for Islamic State jihadists to return “home,” jihadists do not view the UK or any other Western state as “home.” They view non-Muslim countries as part of the dar al-harb, or “House of War,” to be conquered for Islam.
If unvetted Muslim migrants and Islamic State returnees were to become the next door neighbors of these reckless judges and politicians, they would be in the panic. Should these jihadists ever become a threat to their own neighborhoods and wellbeing, their decisions would change suddenly in favor of protecting national security. But they do not care about taxpaying citizens whose safety they should be ensuring.
“Hope for dozens of suspected Daesh members as recent court ruling sparks panic in Whitehall,” by Pooja Shrivastava, Eastern Eye News, August 2, 2021:
A RECENT court ruling in favour of a suspected Daesh member- a grandmother who was stripped off her British citizenship in 2019- has raised hopes for more Jihadist looking to return to the UK, a media report stated on Sunday (1), adding that the ruling has sent a “panic through Whitehall”. The woman is currently in the same camp as jihadi bride Shamima Begum.
Belonging to the north of England, the woman, known only as D4, had her citizenship removed in 2019 for what government sources say were reasons of national security, reports said. D4 has been detained in the al-Roj camp since January 2019 alongside other women and children caught while leaving Isis territory, the high court heard in the proceeding.
The High Court ruled on Friday (30) that it was unlawful for the government to strip D4 of her citizenship since Home Office had failed to inform her and not told her it was doing so and that makes the order “invalid”. The court ruled that D4 remains a UK national, The Times reported.
As per the reports, Friday’s court ruling concluded: “You do not ‘give’ someone ‘notice’ of something by putting the notice in your desk drawer and locking it. The home secretary’s failure to give notice of her decision to deprive D4 of her citizenship invalidates the order. D4 remains a British citizen.”
As per the law, the government “must give the person written notice” of a citizenship deprivation decision, providing reasons for it and notifying them of their right to appeal. In 2018, the Home Office had changed regulations for someone of their whereabouts are unknown or if they do not have a lawyer, making it “deemed to have been given” to the person in question even if the Home Office made a record of it and put it on their file.
Calling the change in law as “very substantial interference”, the judge said that the government either has to give people notice or change the law.
The judgment found the government had gone beyond its legal powers by removing a requirement to inform people who are being stripped of their nationality.
The judgment is said to have sent panic through Whitehall amid fears it might lead to up to 28 suspected jihadists claiming the right to return to the UK.
Deprivation of citizenship has been a major part of the UK’s response to those who have travelled to Daesh-controlled areas under efforts to prevent jihadis returning from Syria, by depriving them of travel documents and any right to assistance or repatriation….
Infidel says
Fine, then let the Home Office inform her by publicly announcing that D4 was being stripped of her citizenship. No need to send a certified mail the the al-Roj camp or do anything like it: make a public announcement to that effect, and then notify the said court that it’s been done
NEXT!

The Court is playing Russian Roulette with a loaded pistol not a revolver!
Dhimmis.
Otis says
If courts which could have been the last resort for brave Britons to defend their country have also decided to go woke, then I forsee the partition UK and in the near future.
Kepha says
Can someone please enlighten us on how UK nationality and citizenship laws work? I’m not a fan of importing jihadis, but what are the laws and precedents from which the UK High Court reasons?
In the USA, it is possible to strip a foreign-born jihadi of citizenship due to commission of serious crimes of moral turpitude. However, for someone born a citizen (either in the USA or to a US citizen parent who meets transmission requirements who resides abroad), loss of nationality is possible only through taking a policy-level position in a foreign government, becoming a foreign head of state, or a voluntary renunciation before a lawfully commissioned US Consul abroad. Hence, if a US-born jihadi who has been active in Daesh and Taliban returns to the USA, we have to let him in (albeit, we can also have the FBU waiting for him on the tarmac).
Bikinis not Burkas says
In Australia we can strip their citizenship only if they hold dual citizenship.

Although unsavoury, it’s a perfectly appropriate decision under the laws that exist presently. “…the government either has to give people notice or change the Law”. Pretty clear and simple and it should have been clear to the Home Office from the beginning. The government needs better legal advice.
Gerard says
The UK government should immediately run a newspaper ad legal notice that will start the clock ticking for an appeal.
mortimer says
The issue of ‘stateless persons’ is the issue here. The UK may revoke a citizenship if the person is originally a citizen of another country. The sticky question comes from the case of a terrorist born in UK who is not a citizen of another country.
ALL the ISIS terrorists were people who voluntarily ABANDONED their UK citizenship upon joining ISIS.
There should be a revision to the law allowing the UK to refuse re-entry to a person who VOLUNTARILY abandons UK citizenship.
gravenimage says
Yes–these Jihadists abandined their British citizenship when they joined the bloody Islamic State.
mortimer says
The court’s concern that the woman was not properly informed implies that it is easy to inform an enemy in a foreign country or in a foreign prison or in a war zone in a legally-binding way.
This is a very nice point. However, ‘D4’ as they call her, knew for a very long time that UK government had revoked her citizenship. They may send her an official notice now and tell her to rebegin her appeal if she really wants to re-enter a country that was not good enough for her before.
Walter Sieruk says
Those members who compose the High Court of the United Kingdom are either total fools are traitorous tools of the stealth jihadists for allowing any of the jihadists of ISIS to return to the UK. That is inviting nothing but disaster of Muslim terrorism and murder of the British citizens .
Therefore, if any of those returning ISIS jihadists commit future murderous Islamic terror attacks in England those members of UK High Court will have the blood of many innocent people on their hands.
Rarely says
No Walter. It’s simply not so. They MUST follow their law or change the law. There is no third option. The Court was 100% correct.
Walter Sieruk says
Just as in the USA and also in the UK what the law degree through its courts is not always the same as when s right and just.
For example ,as an American I’ve completely lost all faith and trust in the US legal law system with its politically correct infected courts . So much so that if I’m ever “called ” for jury duty I will as them to excuse me from taking part in it. If they ask me “why ?” Then I will tell them that “the American court legal system is a PC infested hoax and I have no desire to “put on an act” of having trust in a corrupt unfair ,unjust US legal court system that is far removed from what it was originally intended to be”
Rarely says
You got a better idea?
Few things, other than a fool, are perfect Walter. Sometimes you just have to live with what you’ve got especially when the alternatives are so horrendous.

If only the ‘filthy Infidels’ had tracked down these Jihadists into someplace like Raqqa so they could tell that enslaving little girls and using them as sex slaves and committing genocide is not deemed British behavior.
If they weren’t willing to risk being beheaded then they simply have no right to try and protect British citizens from the same treatment. Bad dhimmis!
gravenimage says
UK High Court rules that Islamic State jihadi must be allowed to return, dozens of jihadis may follow
……………
I had been heartened to hear that the UK was stripping Jihadists of citizenship–I suppose I should have realized this sanity would not last.
Fitna says
There’s a better way to inform ISIS terrorists that their citizenship has been revoked, by delivering a bullet to their head.
I’ve been watching a very interesting UK show about immigration, see the link below. I think they give the British citizens a false sense of security.
It shows the immigration officers apply UK law fairly but also ruthlessly and the vast majority of people they send home are harmless. Just people who were working illegally or used false credentials, though I do support their deportation, there’s too many people there as it is.
Oddly the people who are really a serious danger to Britain, like “radical Muslims” (in their terminology), are left to walk freely. There’s 24,000 Jihadis that the know of but only have the time, money and resources to track around 2,000.
I see the UK as a powder keg and I think it’ll mostly non-Muslims who will suffer and pay the price for this cowardice and ignorance. The day the Muslims start their jihads and mass terror attacks, only then they’ll realize how stupid they’ve been for decades.

IMO a person who knowingly goes to join a body which has publicly declared its vehement hostility to the UK and the West in general, and which is also persecuting and murdering Non Muslims within its power, has already renounced his or her citizenship and any allegiance to whichever country they leave
voluntarily. So there is no citizenship to consider
OLD GUY says
Just maybe these highly educated lawyers and politicians should look at changing these laws to meet the changing world around them and us.
Then again here in America we have good laws on immigration and borders but out politicians and legal system ignore the law and expose us to anyone and everyone who can walk across the border.
Our system allows that the prosecutor’s have the sole decision on who get prosecuted for crimes, with no review or repercussions. The prosecutors decide which laws are enforced and against who. If you are a member of the elite class or political chances are you will not get prosectued. What a system.
