I posted yesterday, somewhat panicked, about the prospect of around 500 lunatic jihadis with British passports making their way back to the UK to unleash fire and brimstone on us. Having read today's Sunday papers I get the feeling that if we exported another few thousand of these "disaffected" young men to Syria and Iraq, the Islamic State would disintergrate in a matter of weeks.
Having read some of the exchanges between these "jihadis" and the outside world via their Twitter and Facebook accounts, I came away thinking that this lot are bound by one thing (other than their deranged philosophy) - they have all had frontal lobe lobotomies.
Excerpt from one JJ to another about what clothes to bring for training, the state of the UK clothing market and British football:
"For training, light running shoes. You'll do a lot of running in training then after that, casual boots which you should be able to pick up from here or even sandals.....blah blah blah....A jumper and decent jacket, clothes you can buy from here, but a quality jacket get from UK..."
"There may be a chance for us all to learn some sniping together, battlefield training.....but sniping requires patience, a lot..."
"Yeh man, that sounds sick...do the mujahideen play footy and that?"
Is it any wonder that this particular JJ was not given "battlefield" duties but was consigned to cooking and looking after the wives of "dat mujahideen that like them footy". He also had a mate that was once a gormless shop assistant at Primark; hence the informed reference about the quality of UK jackets!
It appears to me that another look should be taken at exactly what sort of EDUCATION these people are getting. Forget about spending millions on "de-radicalisation"; how about an investigation on what is going on in the "schools" that this lot have attended. (Oh yes I forgot, the government did that and found that a number of schools in the Birmingham area had been turned into virtual madrassas right under the nose of the schools inspector - OFSTED). Go figure....
So to conclude; is there really a murderous horde about to descend upon us? Quite possibly, but if the size of their collective intellect is anything to go by, the security services should have them tucked up safely in prison before they can proclaim "Allahu Akbar"!!
Out!
