Germany’s ruling coalition plans to look into stripping Islamic State fighters of their German citizenship to prevent them from coming back to the country, a draft document seen by Reuters on Wednesday shows.
More than 800 people have traveled from Germany to Syria and northern Iraq in recent years and around 70 returnees took part in combat or military training there, the head of Germany’s domestic intelligence agency said earlier this month. […]
The coalition is also considering depriving German supporters of Islamic State of identity cards and passports to prevent them from traveling to areas controlled by Islamic State, the document said. …

The fact that this is controversial shows just how much trouble we’re in.
Well, Duuhhh!
If there was ever a case for guilt by association, this is it.
Gee, do you think? I do not see how any enemy combattant ever gets back into the country. Their papers should be revoked immediately and they can stay there or face jail if they beg to return.
I thought America was considering this as well. Seems like a no brainer that if you want to join the enemy and destroy us, that you should be deprived of citizenship.
I wonder if John Walker Lindh lost his citizenship. I don’t remember hearing that he did. Just noting he will get out of prison eventually.
Exactly. “Consider”...excuse me?
Too little, too late.
Exactly!
or maybe penning a stern letter to Der Spiegel.
This should’ve come directly from Capt. Obvious....
Consider it? CONSIDER it??? How can there be any doubt? Stripping them of their citizenship should be a given; stripping them of their lives — or their hides — should be an option.

They should strip ALL ISLAMIST’S of their citizenship and send them to the Saudi’s
When the MSM claims something is *controversial* IMO, it never really is.
It’s just semantics on their part to make it sound like what everyone is objecting to that they are supporting is *controversial*.
It’s only *controversial* if you are in favor of allowing IS terrorists who want to kill us all off retain their citizenship in their host country.

Come on Angela, let’s not be too hasty now.
Why don’t they just shoot them?
This should have been done years ago. For a country that was once in the forefront of inventions and technological progress, Germany is now becoming a second-rate hiding place for jihadists and their supporters.
They shouldn’t be stripped of citizenship; they should be stripped of life.
What are they waiting for?
And we should do the same. Without question or hesitation.
