A government official told a presenter on the news that we have 500 men from Britain fighting for the Islamic State.
So it appears that our government knows who these men are and I wonder what they are doing about their families living here without presumably a breadwinner and also what they are doing to stop these murderous devils from returning to this country and slipping back into the normalities of life here?
Does anyone know because I think these men's crimes against humanity are so dire, we must have a suitable punishment in place to deter any other gullible young men from travelling into a situation that their consciences should be screaming out about instead of the relish they all show on my tv?
Also what is being done about these Imans who put this poison into their brains? I know we hear about different country's being involved and we have the usual international groups, UK, Saudi, USA, Israel, Quatar all in threads about this situation. One should remember tht Saudi is on a mission to try to get its form of Islam into every countrh in the world where muslims have penetrated.
I am wondering if our government is playing some kind of mental game on us Brits - cameron sending aid and not weapons - how come he sent weapons to Libya before that all kicked off and Libya never posed the threat this islamic state does? Are our country's caught in some kind of supplied and trained the bad guys to shake the area up and ensure the divide between all the States around Israel, that has got out of hand - how come cameron isn't demanding a war here?
The whole situation seems to be a mastered and a fully managed media exercise to frighten us public into whatever these country's have decided will happen behind closed doors. Any one else feel this way?

I don't think Isis have a country, they seems to be carving up existing states.

Just a point here, as far as United States goes - since that is where I live. There is extremism here also, but here it is found more often (not always but definitely more often) in the black communities, or the ex con's. They are the most susceptible here...Second largest group prone to extremism here are the very large immigrant communities which set themselves apart from everyone else.
This says something, perhaps... about what needs addressed most in all our western countries. As both groups here feel separate from everyone else in their country and these places are where extremism is most likely to grow.

I am not saying extremists are all of either group, just that these groups have a larger propensity toward extremism.
And one more thing, where concerns immigrants, its almost never 1st generation immigrants, it is 2cnd generation... at least from what I am seeing from the middle eastern communities. And I will say, it is this second generation who most often feels they don't really belong to either section of society.. not fully a part of the immigrant communities, and not fully a part of the country they live...
