"The advance of ISIS over the past number of months has shocked the world as we see the group commit some of the most extreme barbaric acts of terror. The rise of ISIS has compounded an already desperate humanitarian situation in Iraq and Syria, both devastated by years of civil war and sectarian violence. Millions in Iraq and Syria have been displaced as ISIS makes advances – adding to those who have already been displaced as a result of the Syrian civil war. In both countries, civilians are inevitably caught up in ISIS violence – from forced conversions to brutal executions. ISIS terrorists are being targeted in both countries by a US-led coalition, though air-strikes have not done enough to eradicate the threat. The UK Government is supporting international efforts to combat the ISIS threat and the UK Parliament has voted in support of air strikes against ISIS targets in Iraq. Another deeply troubling element to the ISIS threat is the number of British and other EU nationals who have been radicalised and have chosen to join with ISIS and fight in Iraq and Syria. This poses a major domestic security threat if or when such ‘foreign fighters’ return home."@en1
