The British government has reportedly halted cooperating with the U.S. over two British members of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) due to concerns they could face the death penalty.

Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh, who are accused of involvement in the killing of more than two dozen hostages, are two members of a cell of ISIS fighters known as "The Beatles" because of their British accents.

The U.K. government faced backlash earlier this month after agreeing to cooperate with the U.S. and share intelligence about the cases without seeking assurance that they would not face the death penalty if extradited to the U.S.

The U.K.'s Home Office said this week that it had agreed to "a short-term pause" of legal assistance following a request from lawyers representing one of the men's family

Meanwhile, Islam continues to rape Britain’s daughters, at home, unabated.

The Brits have already submitted to Islam.

What happened to the Britain that used to draw and quarter people, then hang their bodies in steel cages for all to see?

My emotional reaction is to declare the UK a neo-Nazi terrorist state and bomb them.

My second reaction is more muted, and I suggest we only bomb the UK parliament and 10 Downing Street and spare the enslaved population. Britain needs its ass kicked again by America.

This obsession with the death penalty is a symptom of guilt in otherwise Godless people who need some “religion” to wave around to convnce themselves that they’re GOOD.

I’ll agree to ban the death penalty if liberals will agree to ban abortion.

Oh, they'll be back. Only when they are, they'll be doing that to obstinate women and homosexuals.

I’d like to know who composed the “backlash” against UK cooperation with the US?

I want to know which reds, Marxists, socialists, British Labor traitors, mayors, etc. protested judicial action and penalties (including the Death Penalty) for mass torturers, murderers, psychopaths.

Once you see a list of them, then you’ll know why Britain has been subverted by the Communists and Islamic Extremists into a toothless lion and ball-less Parliament.

Why, that might interfere with Britain’s determination that it should hand itself over to the Muzzlime invaders, to be raped, murdered, maimed, and to give their hard-earned money over to them. Has the world ever known such buffoons before?

Are the ISIS scum walking around free in the UK? The UK is not prosecuting them?
