Islamic State Extremists Must Be Confronted 'In Private Space,' Senior Police Officer Warns

Police and parents should "move into the private space" of Muslim children to prevent them being brainwashed by extremists such as Islamic State (IS), the country's most senior Muslim police officer has said.Mak Chishty cited an example of Muslim children as young as five having referred to Christmas as "haram", meaning it was forbidden by Islam. And he said the country was in "uncharted water" in terms of the risk posed by recruiters from IS, also known as ISIS or ISIL reaching youngsters through social media on mobile phones.The force revealed last week more than 700 British extremists had travelled to Syria, with around half thought to have returned to the UK.

Chishty, who is the Metropolitan Police's lead for community engagement, said people needed to look out for early warning signs that people were being swayed an extremists, such as proclaiming "hatred" of Marks & Spencer because they believed, wrongly, it to be owned by Jewish people. He told the Guardian: "We need to be less precious about the private space. This is not about us invading private thoughts, but acknowledging that it is in these private spaces where this (extremism) first germinates.

if we know they left why did we let them back, the moment they leave their passports should be blocked , the only reason they will come back is to carry on the terrorism in our country...

I thought that myself, but as usual the Government knows best!

I don't know why the govt is so committed to letting people in the country with such incompatible beliefs in the first place...!?
