THE controversy regarding British born Jihadists returning to Britain after fighting for Islamic State (IS) in Syria has serious implications, particularly when they openly threaten to return to Britain and attack the people in all manner of barbaric ways.

These insurgents, who have been brain-washed or hypnotised by IS propaganda, will not be easily identifiable when they return to the UK, as is their right, and, if so-minded, will probably form small units to plot and seek their vengeance on the very people who accepted, educated and welcomed them into their society.

I can’t think of anything more despicable.

This prediction has yet to materialise, but if and when it does, the Home Office has a lot to answer for.

For decades, hate preachers have been allowed to speak publicly, spreading their bile to warp the minds of young men and students alike, shielded by human rights laws and multicultural beliefs and policies.

Nothing has been done to halt this outrage.

The bitterest pill to swallow is that some of these preachers and their families were living in grand style on benefits. Where is the justice in that?

Other more sensible countries like Switzerland, Holland, Sweden, Denmark and others, bolted their doors to these known evil men, disallowing access to their country and impressionable young men.

There appears to be growing resentment and anger within our society, which is intensifying into a general unease, in which our fellowship appears to be gradually swamped and taken over, affecting our daily lives and well-being.

This must be halted now, handled and counteracted with all the sophisticated intelligence at our disposal Only then will we feel safe in our country again.
