Brits Strip Nationality From 20 Jihadists Fighting in Syria

Hat tip Jihad Watch and Sky News


Here is a (somewhat) encouraging story out of Britain. Twenty Jihadists who ran off to join the fighting in Syria have been stripped of their British nationality.

It is not clear what the status is of the remaining estimated 220 others. Perhaps, they were born in the UK, I don't know.

Seems to me this is a great idea. The West has hundreds, if not thousands of Jihadists who have gone to join the rebels in Syria. In addition, we have Somalis who have gone back to Somalia to join Al Shabaab. I'm not sure what the law is, but if refugees, green card holders, or naturalized citizens join a designated terror organization, why shouldn't we be allowed to revoke their citizenship?
