With the recent developments regarding ISIS combatants and their support network wishing to return to their European countries of origin, does anyone else suspect their desire to return to their former lives is veiling something a little more insidious? Me being the suspicious person I am suspects this to be an intricate plot, their final hurrah: they feign ignorance and innocence in order to escape the consequences of the documented atrocities that the organisation and its supporters have undertaken and supported in various ways. A few years pass, memories fade, the public relaxes. Then out of the blue there's a barrage of co-ordinated attacks launched by these returned individuals. That was their plan all along. To be allowed back into society, weave a tale that suggests they themselves are the victims of brainwashing, etc., while all along waiting for the moment to strike. How Europeans deal with this issue, politically and socially, will go some way to identifying whether they have a future or not.
