Britain Rejects Trump's Jihadist Repatriation Call
2019-02-19
[AnNahar] The British government on Monday rebuffed U.S. President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
's call to take back alleged UK jihadists captured in Syria and try them at home.

Trump tweeted on Sunday that Washington was "asking Britannia, La Belle France, Germany and other European allies to take back over 800 ISIS fighters that we captured in Syria and put them on trial".

His comments came with diehard Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group fighters trapped in the last pocket of their crumbling "caliphate" in Syria.

Prime Minister Theresa May's front man said the fighters should be put on trial in places where they committed their crimes.

"Foreign fighters should be brought to justice in accordance with due legal process in the most appropriate jurisdiction," Downing Street said.

"Where possible, this should be in the region where the crimes had been committed."

The front man added that London continued "to work closely with our international partners on this."

U.S. allies have been grappling for weeks with what to do with imported muscle detained in the war-ravaged country by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces.

The issue's urgency was raised in Britannia after a London school girl who joined the Islamic State in 2015 resurfaced in a Syrian refugee camp last week.

Shamima Begum told British media she wanted to come back to London to raise a baby she gave birth to this weekend.

UK security officials said they could not block Begum's return since she had never been convicted of any crimes.

But they did not rule out prosecuting her upon her arrival.

#7  Yes. I think Trump knows they're not going back, but he just wants to rub the usefulness of GITMO in the MSM classes.

He should thank 0bama for not closing it, if he really wants to become Troll-God.

#2  Let them wait to go home, like the Free Poles after WWII. Though someone did put forth the idea yesterday of using those abandoned Siberian camps. Just need everyone to chip in, a GoFundMe so to speak.
