British Islamic State Terrorist Threatens to 'Come Home'

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/184554#.VAKLVWK9KK0

That British IS jihadist is far from alone in the ranks of the extremist group that has conquered large portions of Iraq and Syria, declaring itself early last month as a caliphate. According to the UK's Home Office, 500 people associated with Britain have joined IS, and roughly half have returned to the UK.

Khalid Mahmood, a British MP based in Birmingham, estimates that in total at least 1,500 young British Muslims have been recruited by extremists fighting in Iraq and Syria in the last three years.

Two British IS fighters currently in Syria, Abu Bakr and Abu Anwar, were interviewed via a video feed by CNN as reported on Thursday, and revealed that the video of Foley's horrific murder is acting as a recruitment video.

Abu Anwar said he would be "more than honored" to conduct a beheading like that of Foley, adding "I hope that Allah gives me a chance to do to James Foley to another enemy. My hands are ready to commit to this blessed act."

I'm sensing from yr posts so far that it follows a path of the Islamisation of Europe with the special category being France. Fill us in!

looks, smells and quacks like yet another fearmongering campaign to keep us afraid and agreeing to more war while enduring less of our rights. Makes it so much easier for the oligarch/fascists to go in for the kill.
The ones we should be concerned about "coming home" are the blackwater/xe folks.

It's a twofer.

They can terrorize people abroad, then come back and terrorize us.

In fact they don't even need to come back, they can just let the western MSM and social media do their job for them.
