| | Re: All about Muslims (in the wake of terrorist attacks in Europe) | Quote: | |  | | | Pray tell, do you have official stats to back up your assertion? | | | | | Of course.
Excerpt:
The survey found almost half (46 per cent) of offenders had their origins in south Asia including 28 per cent who had Pakistani heritage - of whom at least 80 per cent were British nationals.
Six of the eight major plots in Britain, 75 per cent, contained individual members who had trained in Pakistan and four of the leaders of those plots were directly linked to one or more Pakistani based terrorist groups.
Even if 10% of the Islamists could be deported it would make a big difference.

This report is not specifically to do with Islamists but it shows the percentage of deportations up to 2015.

This is where the UK is currently on the matter of stripping citizenship, thereby making a person stateless...

I'm talking about terrorists with dual nationality. They won't remain stateless.

For German/Pakistani duals it seems to be fairly simple so it seems reasonable to expect the same for UK/Pakistanis.

Do you need a viusm to visit Pakistan as a UK citizen?
Suppose, maybe, relations between Pakistan and the Uk were to deteriorate. Might not having a Pakistani passport make it difficult for people to visit their family?
All these are reasons that people may not be so willing to renounce that nationality.
Also, if nobody else is renouncing it, doing so may actually flag you up as a suspicious person.

The UK won't risk much - if it doesn't work, it can simply go back to the current policy of jailing terrorists.

Returning to the U.K with another identity won't be easy nor cheap.

The answers to those two questions also apply to yours.
I didn't mean fake identities. Taking fingerprint, iris scans, and whatever else is at disposal would work a long ways against that.

It's just a question of the effort required and priorities.
If somebody is dangerous, I would expect him to be a higher priority than some random asylum seeker who isn't doing any harm.

Some countries don't take back their citizens unless they go there willingly. Mind, I don't know the positions of the southasian countries so it may be simple, but then again it may be darn near impossible.

So I assume it is technically and legally possible. But I guess there is paperwork involved and I guess somebody who knows they are about to be deported might chose to hide, making it all more difficult. But somebody already in prison can't hide that easily, so it may actually be easier overall.
Example here: https://www.ots.at/presseaussendung/...-durchgefuehrt
This may be Austria, but if Austria can do it, I'd be surprised if the Uk can't.
