/// But there are fears that hundreds of jihadis could disguise themselves as refugees in a bid to reach the UK, where they will plot terror attacks on our streets. ///

Some of us have been saying this since it started. I would have thought it was obvious. A good opportunity for them.

[Gromit]

The article does not make any sense.
We do not have any refugee camps like the ones pictured in the article in Britain.
So if ISIS are infiltrating camps, they are not in Britain.

Of the central claim of the article, that seems to be an uncorrobated report from an un-named aid worker about an un-named ISIS member. It is undeniable that ISIS target and kill christians in territory they capture. But the claim that they are murdering christians in refugee camps is not substantiated by anything presented by the Express.

No one is saying we have, but don't the refugees that we take in, come from such camps?

//So if ISIS are infiltrating camps, they are not in Britain //

Yet.

The story seems to have originated from an interview with the Director of a Christian Missionary organisation on US ABC Television.

// An ISIS fighter from northern Syria, veiled as a refugee, arrived at a Jordanian camp with the intention of killing Christian workers, but he abandoned his plans after hearing the Gospel and "witnessing the love of Christians."


"He first saw how Islam brainwashed him about Christianity, and how that contrasted with the reality of what he saw in the Christians," the ministry director that could not be named said. "And we're talking about an area of Jordan that has three Salafist [a strict, fundamentalist branch of Sunni Islam] mosques. They raise up people to go and fight."

The militant convert was so excited about his new found faith that the director had to "calm him down" to dispel threats he began receiving from other jihadists who wanted to kill him after his conversion. //

It could have happened like that, but it sounds like a wonderful fund raising story designed to get Americans to donate $$$.

Oh ye of little faith
I believe at the start of the Hoseasons boat trips in the Med that Muslims were chucking Christians overboard from their leaky boats when they were getting swamped by a rising swell. They identified the Christians because they were not hollering to Allah to save them.
When the boats were picked up by rescue vessels the survivors picked out the perpetrators who were arrested when the boat docked by Italian police.
Why should this article be met with sceptism. No love for their fellow man it would seem whether you are Muslim or not.?

[Gromit]

There are about 630,000 refugees in camps in Jordan, and none of them will be coming to the UK. Only migrants who reach the EU have any propsect of coming to the UK. The migrant camps in Greece are actually detention centres and are not run by the UN.

/// Only migrants who reach the EU have any propsect of coming to the UK. ///

Totally incorrect, are we not taking in migrants from refugee camps in Libya?

But regardless of that what about those in Calais 'Jungle', don't you think there might be some dubious characters amongst them?

[Gromit]

I don't think we are taking refugees directly from camps in Libya, do you have a link?

Boats from Libya full of refugees are reaching the EU at Italy. It is possible that ISIS sleepers are reaching the EU and possibly the UK via that route, but that is not what this article is about.

That was a mistake I meant camps in Syria, and bordering areas.
