Thousands of ISIS Fighters Returning to Western Countries, Including United States

[LAGC]

Thousands of the Islamic State's foreign fighters are returning to Western countries, including the United States, as the militant group's territory fades away in Iraq and Syria. This is the bittersweet byproduct of the recent victories against ISIS in places like Syria's Raqqa and Mosul, Iraq.

A recent report from the Soufan Center, based on an analysis of official numbers from 48 countries, concluded at least 2,000 former ISIS members have gone back to Western countries. It's estimated approximately 1,500 fighters have returned back to the European Union. Roughly 400 have gone back to the United Kingdom, 271 have returned to France, and about 300 are back in in Germany. Meanwhile, seven have returned to the U.S. out of the 129 Americans who joined ISIS.

Overall, 5,600 citizens or residents from 33 countries have returned home, according to the report. States are still figuring out how to respond to those who've returned. But, perhaps surprisingly, they don't seem to pose as big of a threat as some might have anticipated.

"At least initially, those who have traveled to Syria are less likely to see themselves as domestic terrorists than those IS sympathizers who have stayed at home," the Soufan Center report says. "They generally appear to have had a stronger desire to join something new rather than destroy something old. As a result, returnees have, so far, proved a more manageable problem than initially anticipated."

What do you guys think? Welcome these guys back with open arms, since most of them are disillusioned with how their Moon God failed to deliver on his promises of paradise on earth under caliphate rule and they want none of it any more?

After all, they are American citizens by birth-right...

Everyone one of them that sets foot on American soil, shoot every damned one of them for the traitors they are.

Western Civilization doesn't need or want these deranged parasites. They made their bed, now they can sleep in it. If they attempt to sneak back, capture & execute.

What do you guys think? Welcome these guys back with open arms

I'm thinking more along the lines of bowing down before them so they can kiss my f**king ass

Upon return they should receive what Idi Amin called "the VIP treatment."

Come now, you guys. May Allah be merciful to his followers.

After 5 long years of jihadin', don't you think these folks deserve a break?

Here you have broken souls who have been humiliated in battle by the infidel...

Surely they deserve some due consideration for all their toils and troubles?

Can't we at least dip some lead in pigs' blood before we send them on their way to find out that there aren't 72 virgins waiting for them in the afterlife after all?

We'll be merciful, We we won't light them on fire or cut off their heads, or boil them in oil or gouge out their eyes, We'll either hang them or shoot them, put them in a shallow grave, Execute a pig for each one and bury the guts with them on TV and let them know every single one of these Muzzies living in the 7th century will be buried unholy when they attack the west.

what's the deal with the sudden sympathy for these guys? Have you been listening to too much CNN and now think the muzzies are the victims of white oppression or some bullshit like that?
