Islamic State crisis: '3,000 European jihadists join fight'
BBC ^ | 26 September 2014 Last updated at 11:46 GMT

The number of Europeans joining Islamist fighters in Syria and Iraq has risen to more than 3,000, the EU's anti-terrorism chief has told the BBC.

Gilles de Kerchove also warned that Western air strikes would increase the risk of retaliatory attacks in Europe.

US-led forces have launched more than 200 air strikes against Islamic State (IS) militants in Iraq since August and on Monday began targeting IS in Syria.

The UK parliament is due to vote on possible air strikes in Iraq on Friday.

It would be wonderful if ALL of the young Mussulmans in Europe and American would rush to join in the Holy Jihad with ISIS and if they would all then be barred from returning to their host (as in host-and-parasite) countries. Then we could let the Navy and Air Force work out righteously.

‘3,000 European jihadists join fight’

That's 3,000 people who never belonged in Europe in the first place.

They SHOULD BE barred from returning under ANY circumstances... But, Europeans have way TOOOO much tolerance for that.

That right there is enough stupidity to choke the whole stable.

The 1993 World Trade Center attack involved 12 men, all of whom had a college education.
The 9/11 pilots, as well as the secondary planners identified by the 9/11 commission,
all attended Western universities, a prestigious and elite endeavor for anyone from the Middle East.

Indeed, the lead 9/11 pilot, Mohamed Atta, had a degree from a German university in,
of all things, urban preservation, while the operational planner of 9/11, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed,
studied engineering in North Carolina. We also found that two-thirds of the 25 hijackers and
planners involved in 9/11 had attended college.

Like the view that poverty drives terrorism - a notion that countless studies
have debunked - the idea that madrassas are incubating
the next generation of terrorists offers the
soothing illusion that desperate, ignorant automatons are
attacking us rather than college graduates, as is often the case.

In fact, two of the terrorists in our study had doctorates from Western universities,
and two others were working toward their Ph.D.


Contrary to unknown reasons by Governments to import Arabs and such, Islam/Muslims
will always be terrorists. Liberal do-gooders who think playing nice with Islam
will make them Not want to be terrorists but this is not true and they'll kill
you all just the same. Islam will have it's day in the EU and multitudes will die.

Twice as many “British” muslims have gone to Syria to join ISIS, than have joined the British military.

That is all you need to know about “moderate muslims” and their true loyalty.

IMHO their prayer/community centers aka mosques are actually armories and command centers with ready made watch towers. If we are targets we too will have multiple targets.

“‘3,000 European jihadists join fight’”

Just creating a “target rich” environment. Save the weak-kneed Europeans the angst over whether or not to let them “come home.” They are “home” already, just kill all of them there.
