Labour Member of Parliament Yasmin Qureshi has caused outrage after comparing the idea of young British Muslims joining ISIS to the idea of young Jewish Britons joining the Israel Defence Forces.
Qureshi, who has previously had to apologise for offence caused by comparing the situation in Gaza to the Holocaust, also claimed that most British Muslims going to Iraq and Syria were going for "humanitarian reasons" in a bizarre Sky News interview yesterday.
She said:
"From my understand [sic], most have gone to actually help people so its been humanitarian work. We understand now from some the [sic] intelligence services giving us information, that some perhaps are... in... doing other things other than humanitarian work. But we know... but what we don't have enough information is what is the actual numbers [sic] who are perhaps fighting with the Syrian coalition force who we are funding and supporting, how many doing humanitarian work, and how many are actually, sort of involved with Isis specifically as opposed to other groups that are out there?
"So I think it is important that we should have some ideas to have an idea of the numbers. Because I'm not, to be honest, convinced that the numbers as high as its been made out to be. We are told an English accent was heard in the sad and deplorable execution of James Foley, somehow suggests, you know, that a whole swathe of young Muslims from Britain there who gonna come back [sic] and... um... sort of cause a complete chaos here.
"I think that is perhaps not made out, certainly not by the facts we have been given."

Yasmin Qureshi was elected at the 2010 general election in the safe Labour seat of Bolton South East, inheriting a majority of 11,000. Qureshi, Rushanara Ali and Shabana Mahmood, elected at the same time, became Britain’s first female Muslim MPs.
And so it began. Britain is on the road to collapse it seems. Muslims are gaining more and more power there. How long before Sharia law takes over? It is coming to America also and we need to be vigilant and take heed of what is occurring in Britain.
Is there a word for ‘Humanitarian’ in Arabic?
I think Britain now understands why they should have never allowed Moslems into their Island...I believe the rest of us totally understand why our borders need to be sealed and Moslems deported back to the Islamic State - since it’s the best ticket in town, why would they even ant to stay here...
Surrounded by inventions and luxuries designed and built by Christians and Jews...perplexing, isn’t it?
Opinions such as this are one reason that ISIS is able to infiltrate Western societies and set up sleeper cells, intent on doing immense and irreversible harm.
It would seem that the clock is ticking and no one’s got either the will or the insight to do anything about it.
Their labour party is the same as our democrat party: self-loathing marxists.
Oh calm down. Why is it every little story has people like you screeching that the UK is done?.
This woman should support the humanitarian work the SAS & RAF will be doing in Syria & Iraq soon.
First his name, then his party tells you that he is a worthless liar.
