The Islamic State extremist group has executed 100 of its own foreign fighters who tried to flee their headquarters in the Syrian city of Raqqa

...

Some jihadists have become disillusioned with the realities of fighting in Syria

...

between 30 and 50 Britons want to return but fear they face jail, according to researchers at the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation at King's College London, which had been contacted by one of the jihadists speaking on their behalf.

"they took a bite, spit it out"
but, can't go home no more.
struck in a desert wilderness, reality bites hard.

That’s a take rarely said publicly, because probably it’s too close to actual circumstances.

Kind of like the KGB or the mob; only one way out.

Occasionally people find themselves between a rock and a hard place. Those folks have.

.
It would’ve been so much better if they had become disillusioned with Islam.

Their behavior is right on the cuspid of insanity.

When one sells their soul to Satan, he collects. In my opinion, joining or becoming affiliated with IS is selling one’s soul to Satan.

“For years to come, if any one says they once fought for ISIS, the correct response is a bullet between the eyes.”

I’m not so sure. Placing your enemy in a position where the only way out is to fight to the death is seldom a good strategy. Sun Tzu said to always leave your enemies a way out. I would make it clear that those may have committed serious crimes would have to face prosecution for those crimes and would have to face the consequences.

The other factor to consider is the propaganda impact by allowing them to come home and tell their stories of why they became disillusioned with ISIS. That could reduce or significantly reduce or eliminate the numbers wanting to join ISIS from Briton, Canada, etc.

According to this story it doesn't matter what they became disillusioned about.

I prefer to fly them out into the middle of the Atlantic and push them out at 30,000 feet.

lets see....... die if I stay, go to jail if I leave.

Best course...... go to paraguay

We should just “disappear” them when caught.

A traitor should be killed on sight, without mercy. Let everyone know that once you commit there is no going back. Let IS deal with this trash.

Is it possible they’ve hit their “high water” mark?

Trying to feel some sympathy but it’s not coming.

It happened a lot more than we acknowledge in WWII.

Its a better option than bringing their worthless asses back here, spending millions for their attorneys to tell us they were good kids who made mistakes. Then turning them loose where they may attack Americans or convicting them and paying even more money one them.

IS recruits——just dyin’ to get in and then apparently dying to get out.
