It certainly seems a feasible argument, and our borders are hardly tight so they could also bring all their mates.

[Gromit]

That doesn't make sense.

We are helping the Syrian fighters. We are not the enemy we are their friends.

Totally different from the radicalise muslims fighting us as invaders in Iraq and Afghanistan.

[youngmafbog]

But Gromit, you forget we are the devil incarnate as far as Radical Islam is concerned.

We are not talking normal and reasonable Muslim people here, we are talking the nutters.

Why would people fighting in Syria be coming back to Europe to commit attrocities when they have a perfectly good war going on in Syria which is very intense?

Doesn't make much sense

If the fighting had stopped in Syria I could see the argument, maybe they have a specific case in mind but I doubt they've any evidence of anything you'd call a trend

[Gromit]

Do you not appreciate that if you invade a country then you can expect to become someones enemy.

If you help freedom fighters to overthrow their enemy then they will treat you as a friend.

The notion that all muslims are radicalised and nutters is simplistic and wrong.

/// British Foreign Secretary William Hague recently warned Syria has become the 'number one' destination for British extremists wanting to train in guns and explosives. ///

/// He has said that there is a danger that fanatics would then return home and carry out terror attacks on UK soil. ///

Then why the Hell are we supporting them by supplying them with arms etc?

\\We are helping the Syrian fighters. We are not the enemy we are their friends.\\

Who are "WE"....I would presume from the clip that "we" are Europeans going to Syria and being paid fo fight for the rebels, on a contract.....just a guess.
When their contract has finished, even though the war is ongoing, they return to their European country of origin.

Do they become radicalised? I don't know but Dutch intelligence are no fools.........yes........I think that the Dutch do have a point.

I wouldn't bank on it, besides who would want such as these for friends?

Does anything that this blood thirsty lot do ever make sense?

[emmie]

the rebels in Syria are many groups, they are not just one, as already discussed. We shouldn't be arming them who ever they are.. Humanitarian aid is fine for those caught in the middle of this, namely women and particularly children.
are you so naive that once we arm them, we become their friend, suggest watching news footage of Libya and the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, and indeed the aftermath.

I do think the Dutch have a point by the way...

[Gromit]

It is curious that the tyrant Assad runs a secular country and his enemies, who we are supporting and arming are largely Muslim and want an Islamic state.

Hey ho.

[sandyRoe]

Same with Saddam Hussein.

[emmie]

who says we are supporting them, wait till this all blows up, if Assad goes the fall out will be inter tribal war, they are not a cohesive force, we shouldn't be arming anyone as this will undoubtedly come back to bite us.
