2 British muslim extremists taken out in Syria - should we do more BEFORE they leave?

In parliament reconvening today it was announced two british muslims who joined IS and have been plotting attacks in UK have been destroyed, by drone strikes, one of which Junaid Khan- was blown up by a US drone.

this is the first time uk has launched a military attack outside of a war on foreign soil


the question is shoud the UK be doing more to prevent/arrest those involved with the islamic radicalisation in this country before these people reach this murderous level and go off to join islamic gorups all over the place. Does Uk not have a responsibility to contain the threat posed by its own muslims that are radicalised.

This means harsh sentences for any muslim making radical or extreme comments, particularly linking islamic 'duties' to political affairs - and shutting down islamic societies, websites, schools and mosques that are shown to house these sorts of people.

what do you think

I think that their needs to be evidence that a person has left the uk and evidence that the is involved with isis before they can be killed in a foreign country.

if you just let government to do what they like what is next?

revolutionary socialists being killed on holiday to cuba?
right-wing fascists taken out of by james bond while they are visiting some hate-fest concert.

what do you think

There was no one called 'Junaid Khan'. Junaid Hussain was killed by a US attack and Reyaad Khan was killed by a British drone strike

They aren't British. I hope we just survey the population and any ISIS sympathisers deported. Would solve a lot of societys problems

what do you think

Short of removing all muslim's passports or hooking people up to a polygraph, I really don't see how we can be doing much more than we can to stop them. They will always find a way if they want to go that badly, especially as freedom of movement is a given under exceptional circumstances. It would take a lot of people a lot of time to find everyone that posts as pro isis and shutting down websites etc will only drive them underground further. We can arrest people for making comments but the sentences (if they get one) won't be for long because all they've done is say something. There are people who think worse things but we can't arrest them. Banning religion won't work either, people are entitled to revere whichever sky pixie they want - so long as it affects nobody else detrimentally, that is. However, it's only islam that calls itself a religion. I see it as a cultand therefore it should be treated as such. I'd favour deporting anyone who oversteps the mark, frankly.

As for the British jihadi boys, rather them than someone innocent like you or me who didn't choose to get involved. I've zero sympathy for them.
