Where can we deport them to?
If they aren't a citizen of another country who is going to accept them.
A lot of these extremists origins maybe in places like Pakistan but that doesn't mean to say that Pakistan has any legal responsibility to accept them.
As much as I'd be tempted to just set them adrift in the ocean with the barest of essentials that is morally and ethically unacceptable and impossible.

And how do you propose we 'just dump them' there?
Whether we like it or not, I for one do not like it, we have to accept that these are British citizens and must be dealt with in accordance with British law.
If our law is deemed too lenient then we must force the law makers to draft laws that we the people see fit.
As for Australia I think that was a one off incident involving Cambodian boat people who were illegally seeking entry into Australia and not Australian citizens - a massive difference.
Don't get me wrong, I fully understand and sympathise with the sentiments but if we are to moralise about the adherence to international law then we have to abide by international law.
You are the reason why we have these problems. If people stopped thinking about their "rights" and morality, we wouldn't have Islamic extremism. No, I'm sorry they need to be returned to wherever it is their family came from, and if that country wont accept them, then they can stop receiving financial aid.

Two wrongs don't make a right. You're assuming that all Muslims feel the same as these two idiots.

It's better not to take any chances, wouldn't you agree? If there are no Muslims, then no Muslims can cause trouble now no matter how few of them would try, correct?

'If there were no Muslims'. And how exactly do you intend to achieve that?
More to the point, why are you picking on Muslims and ignoring the extremists of any other or no religion?
Why not outlaw Catholicism to solve the terrorist bombings and shootings still taking place in Northern Ireland?
I'm atheist, and the attitude toward sexuality of the largest religions is a strong element in my reasons for being so. But you will find many Christians, Jews, Muslims etc etc who do not follow the most bigoted and extreme parts of their religion.
Try to remember that holding a religious faith doesn't make you a soldier for a single point of view.
There are many different types of Islam, with varying ideas about how to live.It's just a vicious minority making as much noise as possible.

You seem to have given up debating the point and instead just take the piss. Why? Run out of arguments? Come on, engage with the debate. Properly.

But what is perhaps interesting is that these guys are moslems -
Muslim in Arabic means "one who gives himself to God" and by therefore is by definition someone who adheres to Islam.
But Moslem in Arabic means "one who is evil and unjust" when the word is pronounced in English as Mozlem.
