With ISIS surging in Iraq, Europe fears rise in ‘jihadi-tourists’

BERLIN -- After being injured fighting the Syrian government, 31-year-old Mohannad reached his home in Frankfurt, Germany, with a simple plan: rest, recuperate, then rejoin the fight with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

As related in German newspaper accounts, which by law couldn’t identify him by his full name, Mohannad even transferred the equivalent of $6,800 to a Syrian bank for use by the terror organization. With that as evidence that he was supporting a terrorist organization, German authorities seized his passport and prevented him from returning to Turkey _ the jumping-off point for radicals seeking to join the fight in Syria.

But Mohannad was the exception. Officials concede that they rarely have such an extensive file against so-called “jihadi-tourists” to stop them from reaching Turkey _ and Syria beyond.

At least 320 Germans and more than 2,000 other Europeans are thought to have made the trip.

They should be forever forbidden from returning to their country of origin. If they miss their families, their families can join them in exile.

That includes jihadis from the USA.

But...but...how can this be?????? I thought all moozlums were peaceful and friendly. Embrace them and their wonderful culture: chop your own head off for them.

“What goes around, comes around”.

Too bad that you have no guns with which to FIGHT BACK.

The biggest threat to these liberal governments will be their own people who will turn against them so they CAN defend themselves. I can see and England in twenty years where everybody wears a weapon. Won’t that be cool?

Eurabia is the caliphate’s next stop.

It’s 1939 again, and this time the Axis is China, Russia, and Islam. The Battle of Britain will be lost this time as Islam owns London.

Families of US jihadis should be deported for the safety and greater good of America.

Why take chances?
