BBC News - Cameron considers ban on UK jihadists returning home
Do you think this is fair?
Personally I'm unsure.
On one hand they are still British citizens, and what if they realize that what they are doing is wrong, and decide to come back to the UK to get away from it for change of believe and/or safety?
On the other hand, I understand that it helps to prevent extreamism in the UK. As many of them may come back with more dangerous and anti-western ideologies...
Do you think the British Prime Minister is right or wrong to consider this?
Like they say "All is fair in Love and War". Personally, I believe those and many others that pose an extreme threat to countries of the West should lose their citizenship. The Iman's that inspire violence should lose their citizenship, so should Nazis and many criminals whether they are citizens or not.

Thus, they can stay in the hellhole they felt obliged to fight for.
They want to fight for their back ass stone age religion, let them stay there

Anyone born in the US or naturalized in the US that takes up arms with terrorists automatically loses their US citizenship and is considered a traitor.
We could have avoided the Boston Marathon bombing if we had had this policy.
That's a good point, and if Britain and the rest of the western world took on this policy then it may reduce the risk of any future terrorist attack!
However, I'm still drawn to the idea that, particularly impressionable young people, who may have originally thought they where right, but then overtime they realize what they used to believe is evil, and decide to change their ideas and believe the western world is correct, then those people could deter other Muslim children, or (for Northern Ireland purposes) Irish Catholic children away from joining terrorist groups as they have first hand experience of that evil. So what I'm saying is, those people could change their minds and repay the country back... Or perhaps this is just wishful thinking?..
Just so you know, I am swaying tawords the idea that Cameron is right to consider this. But it's just the idea that some might change their minds when it's to late, and everyone knows what young people are like, very impressionable, and sometimes radical...
