And then there's this, seen in turkey.

That symbol only appears in a jihadi context doesnt it? So obviously they dont care about being associated with this sick shit

That "symbol" is the seal of the prophet and has been around since his days. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_of_Muhammad ) No more connected to jihadism than the cross was/is connected to the atrocities of fascism. Gott mit uns bollocks goes with every religion as can be seen with the situation in Myanmar right now.

Its only been in widespread use since 2006 and its first known sighting was in 2001. Hardly a symbol thats been used for hundreds of years. There's only one reason why someone would be displaying it.

the Security Service - MI5 - has a non-urgent 'concern' email contact form that you can use to, well.. express concern about something that isn't an imminent threat.

https://www.mi5.gov.uk/home/constant-nav-items-holding/contact-us/contact-form.html

anything much more urgent should go to 999 or the anti-terrorist hotline 0800 789 321

personally i'd suggest using the Security Service email form - if you ring 101 or whatever you'll speak to a call handler rushed off their feet with lost kids, traffic accidents, drunks fighting in the street and idiots ringing up because the ice cream man overcharged them, and they wouldn't know what as IS flag looked like if you wrapped them in it. by contacting the security service direct you bypass several layers of people for whom this is 'nothing' stuff, and go straight to someone who knows what this means and is interested in it.

You still believe your oath of allegiance to "Queen and country" too?

not a question of belief but of adherence to.

If someone was displaying a swastika on open display in their home you'd want them fucked up too.

At last, a serious answer.

This is a brilliant article, perhaps some of the best reportage that I have ever read, although I warn that it is very long and is a very emotional read.

It focuses on the stories of the families of the American hostages in ISIS captivity and a very wealthy American benefactor, David Bradley, who tried to help them.

Just for the record, in that same place, what would be the reaction to a PKK flag or other PKK symbol?

The entıre populatıon would descend upon the wearer ın a collectıve fıt of vıolent ındıgnatıon.

Is that a CND badge he's wearing around his neck?
