British jihadists want to come home, say they made ‘mistake’

British jihadist fighters have contacted a university in London to say they regret their decision to join Islamist extremists in the Middle East.

The jihadists, thought to be a 30-strong group, said they wanted to return home to Britain but were afraid they would be jailed if they did so.

They also complained about feeling ‘disillusioned’ over the last two weeks. It was unclear whether this related to the recent beheadings of two American journalists.

Some who travelled to fight against Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime are instead being forced to get involved in in-fighting among rebel groups.

One fighter, who claimed to represent the group, said: ‘It’s not what we came for but if we go back (to Britain) we will go to jail. Right now, we are being forced to fight – what option do we have?’

Professor Peter Neumann of King’s College, who spoke to the former jihadist, said the British extremists want to quit but feel trapped by Britain’s hardline stance.

Prof Neumann said the Government should set up a ‘deradicalisation programme’ for ormer jihadis wanting to return to the UK.

There are some mistakes you shouldn’t make.

Also, Islam tells its followers to lie to infidels so why should anyone believe them?

Just say, “NO!” When the Caliph finds out they want to go back home, he will have Jihadi John cut their heads off. It might be beneficial for the British to publish their names, both their names as they were known in Britain, and their names as they are known by the IS.

Maybe they can get their mommies and daddies to send them enough money to buy their safety and keep them alive for a few more months....

Is too bad Britain no longer utilizes the Traitors Gate. Perhaps it’s time to dust it off.

Bad decisions have bad consequences. The way to make them right is to live with them.

Ouch! When the tide is high, you don’t want to be there.

Well, the beheading business just isn’t what it used to be.

I'd be afraid of being drawn and quartered if I were them.
