'I have to show the world there is a Briton fighting against the Islamic State'
Daily Mail ^ | 23rd August 2014 | Damien Gayle

'A hairdresser from South London has become the first Briton known to have travelled to Iraq to fight alongside Kurdish forces against the Islamic State.

Mama Kurda of Croydon, South London, runs a hair salon in Clapham. But the 26-year-old is now fighting with the Kurds against the militant group whose savagery has shocked the world.

And although he's proud to be British, he says he's ready to kill any of the estimated 500 Britons who have travelled to the region to join the Islamic State insurgency.'

I’m with Nigel Farage and Daniel Hannan on this one. Anyone who goes to fight with ISIS should be stripped of their citizenship.

Some interesting pics of the Kurdish fighters coming out. They look like good people.

Chances are the one who will loose his citizenship is the Brit fighting with the Kurds.

They aren’t cowards who hide their faces and torture children.

Or how about trying, convicting and EXECUTING them for treason?

We haven’t executed anyone except OBL, we need to stack up some more bodies. Sorry.

BTW, Vidal Sassoon had quite a time as a street fighter against anti-semitism (or something like that) so the British hairdressers have a bit of a history of fighting for justice it seems.

Screw trying them. They choose to die on that battlefield and we should help them do it.

One only has to click on this article then look at all the right hand side stories to see how totally disassociated most of this world is on what is happening in this world.......

I have felt this way from day one. No questions asked. I find it appalling that this is not the policy.

Nothing strikes quite so much of a symptom of how we have lost our way as this aspect of our approach to what it means to be a citizen of this country.

We used to revoke citizenship for this sort of thing. A friend’s father showed me an old passport from the 1950s and there was a warning printed inside the cover that said citizenship could be revoked if you went overseas and fought with an enemy of the USA.

I know my grandfather spoke of Americans who went to fight with the nazis. He said most of them simply died as nazis and were given no further thought.

As it should have been.

I’m waiting for ISIS to get the Gurkas pissed off at them.Then we’ll see some professional head-chopping.

They seem to be hospitable to non-Kurds.

They are perhaps the only and original peaceful Muslims mentioned by GWB.

Haha. Just wait till things settle down and the Kurds are in comfortably in charge. They did help kill 300,000 Assyrian Christians in the early part of the 20th century. Evens so, it's better to encourage them to go slaughter Arab muslims for a change.
