"British ISIS fighters must be killed": UK Minister

Rory Stewart said, "converts to Isis believed in an 'extremely hateful doctrine and had moved away from any allegiance to Britain."

"They can expect to be killed because of the 'serious danger they pose to the UK's security," he stressed.

The government said his comments were in line with the UK's stated position.
Mr Stewart  made the remarks after Brett McGurk, a top US envoy for the coalition fighting Isis, said his mission was to ensure every foreign fighter in Syria dies there.

Asked about the comments on BBC Radio 5 Live's Pienaar's  Politics, Mr Stewart a former diplomat said they were '' very difficult moral issues''. He said, ''They are absolutely dedicated, as members of the Isis, towards the creation of a caliphate.They believe in an extremely hateful doctrine which involves killing themselves, killing others and trying to use violence and brutality to create an 8th Century or 7th century state. "

''So I'm afraid we have to be serious about the fact that these people are a serious danger to us, and unfortunately, the only way of dealing with them will be, in almost every case, to kill them," he pointed out.
