[@PooftMancrap]

ISIS isn't a nation or a state. Its a proscribed terrorist group. Its a terrorirst group that occupied parts of Syria and Iraq. Both are countries and are real states (albiet failed ones). Only a country, a recognized state, is capable of officially annexing a cities or region such as a Russia and Crimea. . A terrorist group just occupies a space until its removed. Basically there's little basis, within the law, for removing his citizenship if you consider the law to be binding. Which, lets be honest, the goverment doesn't like the restrictions in our current legal system. But rather than change the law and then implement the changes its dismissed it altogether. Its hard to be onboard when it's not legal and doesn't set an honest precedent.

[@PooftMancrap]

I wanna be a patriot and applaud the decision. But i cannot in good conscience show support for something that is illegal. Whatever it may be.

[@PooftMancrap]

@Ganga Din There are certain conditions required to become a state. The first is getting recognised as a state by at least ONE state. ISIS is recognised specifically as a terrorist group with potential links to states through some sort of state-sponsored funding. Verifying that connection is an issue in and of itself. But it doesn't legitimise its status as anything other than a guerrilla group that utilizes terrorism. Realistically to be considered a state you'd have to function as a state, economically and politically, with other states for your status to be recognised. That includes being a member of the UN - who can confirm your status as a state or a state-like entity. No matter what ISIS does its existence will not be recognised and in order to prevent it from completely occupying the nations of Iraq and Syria to become its own 'central power' the powers that be must intervene to prevent its spread. This means that it's vital for the Syrian goverment and Iraqi goverment to eradicate Daesh cells. It means the US, Russia, the UK, France must also intervene to eradicate IS strongholds, understand and dismantle its cell network, and prevent its acquisition of its military arsenal. In all honesty there's nothing Daesh could do to become recognised as a state. In a scenario where there was no international intervention and the Syrian and Iraqi governments were overwhelmed by ISIS forces its unlikely that the international community would accept that status. It would probably result in military action being taken against an IS 'goverment' and its almost certain that such an occupation would not last. This is a scenario where no action is taken against IS until its too late. It also assumes that the Syrian and Iraqi goverments are incapable of fighting off IS forces and that the international community somehow refuses to assist them. So no, ISIS is NOT a state. Its a terrorist group. Its statehood is about as legitimate as my Cats Millies self-proclamed status as Queen of all Cat-Kind and a ruler of all back-gardens of England.

[@aymoshrooms6416]

Democratic Brotherhood of St Nicholas i don’t think you understand the point smh

[@PooftMancrap]

@Ganga Din Bullshit. Ok then let's see how flawed you're thinking is. I'm a state. I've just declared it. Right now in my living room. My youtube channel name is now name of the state of the house I live in. Do you recognise my state status? Even though this land is sovereign to the UK? I mean that's how YOU think it works right? You know if the goverment took this seriously then maybe they have me arrested and my statehood doesn't exist. Or maybe nobody recognised my statehood to begin with. Perhaps I didn't even do anything as a state, like have a goverment, establish a constitution and courts, conduct trade with other nations and so on. Maybe I did those things but then the police arrested me before I could really establish myself. In any case did I ever really become a state or did I just declare it and hope that no one would fight me over it. The definition of state: "a nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one government" Heike Kreiger notes "Armed groups challenge the state and its institutions through an illegal use of force. Such groups contribute to dissolving the public order and to diminishing the state’s capabilities. Therefore, governments consider armed groups as illegal as well as illegitimate. The characteristics of armed groups exclude them from any formal source of legitimation available for state actors, in fact, from any form of legitimacy based on legality. International law does not grant armed groups formal legal status unless states have legally recognized them as belligerents or national liberation movements." The stupid thing is that, despite every government in the world and every honest citizen refusing to acknowledge its 'statehood' For some reason you're the one person who 'recognized' its state status. That's fucked up bro.

[@Jay_Johnson]

@@somyod2u don't you dare suggest condemning him to die in a Syrian POW camp is in my interest. He will not get a fair trial in Assad's Syria, He will get the death penalty for sedition, murder, or crimes against humanity. He should be tried in a British or Canadian court, where he will probably imprisoned for life.

More like his parents denying responsibility and passing the buck to the government

Had he been in The UK, he would have ALL the rights that his father claims, but he ISN''T in The UK. There is no mechanism for one country to impose their rights on another!

If hes done something wrong???? The dad is totally in denial. Son admits it!!

[@peekay5518]

Parents are partly to blame, it’s obvious he’s never had to pay the consequences for his actions as an adolescent, payback can be a life changer, live and learn the hard way

[@Blessheed]

Partly to blame? Really? Mate that old man sponsored his boy with all the needs to join ISIS, he literally made him a murderer and rapist!! Jeez!!

[@amaliag5877]

"If indeed he's done something wrong" Denial from the Dad is perhaps understandable but disgusting none the less.

[@josephignatowicz9903]

if he did not do "something "wrong as daddy suggested .. why doesn't he want to face a fair trial in Syria ? Scares ? Are there too many evidence against him? Really?, He is innocent / killer

[@godlessfornicater]

Having a father like this, make kids who are entitled and don't believe consequences apply to them.

[@colinstewart1432]

There's the rub with all these cases. If he ( & shemima begum ) spent all day reading to kids and cooking that's one thing. If they spent 8 hours a day reloading magazines and giving demonstrations how to fire an RPG, that's quite another.

@@mohussein21 syria should prosecute him yes, with the ultimate prosecution of the death penalty. where was the mercy to the people he undoubtedly slaughtered, and if you believe him when he says he didn't commit acts like that then you are as foggy brained as he is. if we were to bring him back to the UK to stand trial he would be given a laughable sentence and all the while he was in prison he would be radicalised further and when released he would run amok and commit an atrocity here in england, so no thanks I think he is fine where he is and this Is a price he pays for joining a barbaric terrorist organisation.

@@mohussein21 Unfortunately our judicial system is FAR too lenient for pricks like this guy, the 'progressive' Libterds would probably wish to see him put onto some form of Serious Probation.

He should tell his country "I'm sorry". That said, he doesn't sound too bright. His parents seem to treat him and his feelings in a childlike way. Grow up people. He joined a terrorist group who wants to take down his and your own country.

[@makara80]

“Childlike”. Heh, don’t give his misguided defenders ideas of _diminished responsibility_ as it takes both effort and enterprise to reach and join Islamic State. It’s not as if he took a wrong turn one day and ended up in Syria by mistake! He ultimately knew what he was doing, misguided (from our perspective) or otherwise.

His father is only asking for what is fair, that his son should be trialed (and made to pay his debt to society) in his home country. I can't see any reason why that shouldn't be fitting. Isn't that how traitors are supposed to be dealt with, brought back and trialed?! Am I missing something?!
