Jihadi watch groups claim that UK is not sharing real information about how much its citizens are fighting Jihad in Middle East. These groups believe around 5,000 Britishers are busy in Jihad while Uk government is talking about only 500 or so. UK government had no information about these bogs till BBC broadcasted their interviews. Watch groups fear that ISIS Jihad will has launching pad of UK for Jihad in Europe once they are back. Groups claim that not only Muslims but youth of other religions are also fighting in Syria from United Kingdom.
There are fears among many Jihad watch groups that Jihadis have already established sleeping/slipper cells within United Kingdom and will wage Jihad one appropriate till will arrive.
Former MI6 director of global counter-terrorism Mr Barrett while talking to the BBC News Channel expressed his deep fears that it was “out of the question” for the security services to follow all of the Britons who had fought in Syria if and when they returned.
He believed that the recruitment networks operating in Europe were “suggestive of a greater deal of radicalisation than people just going on their own”.
Reports coming from United Kingdom indicates problem is more serious than UK government is considering it. Uncontrolled construction of Madarisas (religious schools) and almost 90% teaching staff coming from Middle East, India and Pakistan had been bringing radicalism and purist Islam. UK government during the last 25 year was too busy in destabilizing Middle east with the help of Saudi Arabia that it never thought that fire will arrive to home, said Mushtaq Hassan living in Manchester.
