"Jim, the Brits fighting in Syria and now Iraq are with Jihadists groups and mainly ISIS."
The ones fighting in Syria are doing to make up for the fact that the Syrian people were abandoned to the mercies of long term mass murderer \(and British friend and trading partner) Assad.
There are no figures to show how many are fighting in Iraq - all there is is unsubstantiated speculation - and there is certainly no indication whatever that any of them would prove a threat to Britain when and if they return.
It's the oldest stunt in the world to stick a label on those who go off and fight for inconvenient causes - those who fought fascism in Spain were labelled 'dangerous Bolsheviks' and were rewarded with MI5 records for their efforts.   
Bet the other braindeads are glad you're back Keith - hadn't you realiised you'd taken the communal brain with you when you went?
"Could you clarify, perhaps?"
