What the petition asks
ISIS declared war on the civilised world setting up a caliphate with the desire to expand their cruel ideology throughout the world. Their political goals has seen anyone who does not adhere to their political goals savagely murdered. This resulted in the UK fighting a war to destroy their cause.
UK citizens who chose to leave this country and fight or support ISIS were in effect by fighting against the UK and its allies were declaring war against all humanity. Due to their political motives these returning ISIS supporters, sympathisers or fighters should be interned until such time that they pose no risk to the British public physically and including ensuring they pose no threat by verbally recruiting the vulnerable to their poisonous cause
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
