Back in October 2017 a newspaper report from a British media outlet The Independent revealed that an astonishing number of Jihadis who had fought for the ISIS terror group had returned to the UK and that many of them had ‘disappeared’. The report said that 850 Muslims from Britain are believed to have travelled to Syria and Iraq in order to fight for ISIS and that approximately 425 had returned to the UK.
Although the Independent states that some of those returning will be individuals who are disillusioned with life under the terror group’s control, it is likely to be that many will still be committed jihadis. The Independent quoted a report by a British security consultant that stated that many of these jihadis who have come back to the UK will have gone ‘missing’. This statement makes one believe, that these ‘missing’ jihadis, who are probably not missing at all but are being sheltered in Britain’s Islamic ghettos, are going to pose a serious security problem for the future.
The reason for bringing up a story from several months ago is that events in Tajikistan are showing that these jihadis are liable to be an ongoing problem and will be becoming a problem faster than one may possibly imagine. In Tajikistan’s case even where returning former ISIS fighters have been interrogated by the authorities before being pardoned there is evidence that these supposed ex jihadis have gone back to their old ways.
Radio Free Europe is reporting that Tajikistan implemented a pardon system whereby Tajik fighters for ISIS who returned home, regretted their experience and renounced jihad could be reintegrated back into Tajik society. This policy has not worked, just as the French deradicalisation policies have not worked and any similar reintegration policies cooked up by Britain’s government will also fail. These polices fail and have failed because the desire to kill for Allah in these ISIS creatures is in general much stronger than any exhortations by government agents of liberal Muslims to live a life of respectful quiet peace. The Tajiks have found that out of 72 people who came back to Tajikistan and were pardoned and reintegrated into normal society, 34 of them travelled back to the lands where ISIS had operated. Those who travelled back may again be involved in Islamic extremism which means that the Tajik pardon policy for voluntary returnees has failed in about 45% of cases.
This figure of an approximately 45% failure rate of Tajik’s pardon and reintegration policy should give us in the UK a great deal of cause for alarm. If this figure of recidivism is applied to the number of ‘British’ Muslims who have slipped back into the UK after fighting for ISIS then we have the horrific figure of 212 potentially highly dangerous Muslim killers walking among us. What is even more worrying is that they are walking among us possibly unmonitored by the Security Service and police because these agencies may not know who they are or which of Britain’s Islamic ghettos these jihadis are hiding or being hidden?
At present the security agencies of Her Majesty’s Government have approximately 23,000 potentially dangerous and volatile Muslims of varying degrees of risk that they are having to monitor. We the ordinary citizen should be justifiably angry at the fact that there may be several hundred more battle-hardened, murderous Muslims wandering around unmolested or uncontrolled due to the porosity of our borders and because we have security agencies that may be struggling to cope with the number of threats and potential threats coming from the woefully misnamed ‘religion of peace’.
Although I’m a man who like many others tries, at least in the initial instance, to walk the path of least harm, I have to admit that it is plain to see that attempts to divert violent Muslims away from their equally violent and disturbing ideology is doomed to failure. France has failed to divert its young Muslims away from violence via fancy residential courses and Tajikistan has found that their reintegration via a pardon system has also not produced the results that those who instigated it may have expected. In Britain, years upon years have gone by and millions of pounds have been spent on trying to get the Muslim community on board when it comes to terrorism and extremism. In many instances the authorities have blatantly pandered to Islamic communities in the hope that tighter ‘community cohesion’ will bring with it peace. The main planks of government policy as regards the diversion of Muslims from terror and nipping extremism in the bud via the PREVENT and CHANNEL strategies seem to achieve nothing. Despite all this time, all this money and all this appeasement, Britons still face the very real danger of murderous violence from Islam’s followers a danger that the injection of 212 more violent Muslims is only going to make worse.
The failures of reintegration and extremism diversion policies in nations as different as France and Tajikistan show that these policies are doomed. They cannot work and they will not work. The only sure-fire way of preventing those Muslims who have gone feral and joined ISIS from coming back to their home countries and wreaking havoc is to imprison them, permanently intern them or even if necessary kill them. These so called ex ISIS types so often do not come in peace or in a spirit of regret for their actions, they come to kill non Muslims just as they may well have done when ISIS was at the height of its territorial holdings. The alleged ex ISIS fighters need to be kept out of our countries, they can’t be reintegrated, the leech-work of the psychiatrists cannot cure them and liberal Imams can’t reform them. Ex ISIS members can only and should only be vigorously defended against.
