“2000
British extremists have joined the rnaks of ISIL militants in Syria
and Iraq so far, that’s according to a UK Muslim MP. The estimate
by Birmingham Labour MP Khalid Mahmood questions the official British
government reports which have put the number at around 500. Mahmood
has also revealed that there are radical groups in the UK being paid
to invite young people to join the insurgent group.”
“London-based
political analyst Issa Chaer says 'it’s of the interest of the
British government to release as low figures as they could because if
they release the realistic number of the 2000, which I think they are
about that figure, it undermines the British foreign policy,
undermines their ability to control the borders and to allow the
Jihadists to enter Syria and Iraq and leave the borders undetected.
Currently this number of foreign Jihadists is increasing more and
more,' Chaer added in his interview with Press TV.”
“The
Muslim Council of Britain has also accused the government of not
doing enough to stop the potential insurgents from leaving the
country. 'I think there is a lack of transparency here and I think
there is a lack of clear honesty in blocking fighters in going to
Syria,' Chaer told Press TV. 'There is a failure on behalf of the
British and French governments on keeping their borders secured and
preventing Jihadists and extremists from going into Syria', the
London-based analyst told Press TV. This, as ISIL social networks
have claimed that an average 20 Britons are joining them in the fight
in Iraq and Syria on a daily basis.”
