I’m Angry Too: Why Are ISIS Sympathizers Still in the UK on “Human Rights” Grounds?
When I read that ISIS fanatics—people who could actively encourage attacks on British citizens—have been allowed to stay in the UK to protect their human rights, I was stunned. And then I got angry. Really angry.
As someone who deeply believes in justice, I try to approach every case with empathy and fairness. But I also believe in common sense. How is it that individuals who openly support a terrorist organization responsible for so much pain and violence are being protected by the very system meant to safeguard us?
I understand the UK has legal obligations under human rights law, and I’m not saying we should ignore them. But surely there has to be a line—somewhere. If someone is a legitimate threat to public safety, if their ideology includes promoting violence or hatred, then how are they still here, walking the same streets as our families, our kids?
It feels like a betrayal. I’ve spoken to friends and neighbors, and we all ask the same question: What about the human rights of ordinary Britons? The right to feel safe. The right to trust that dangerous extremists aren’t being given shelter under legal technicalities.
Let’s be real—this isn’t about fearmongering. It’s about accountability. If someone has a track record of radicalism, then immigration courts and political leaders should prioritize public safety over political correctness.
I want to live in a country that protects freedom, but not at the expense of national security. We can be compassionate and strong. But right now? It feels like the system is out of balance—and I’m not the only one who feels this way.
