When people say they will use violence to tear down your society in the name of religion, believe them.

And in typical modern day fashion governments will just let them right back in and then act shocked when violence occours.

The article literally states that Federal Police are planning to arrest them once they arrive in Australia. Not exactly letting them come back Scot free.

How long before they sue the government for compensation, for leaving them in Syria ?

>Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said it "has not and will not provide" any help to the four women and nine children who have spent years in a Syrian camp. They are part of a larger group of 34 believed to include wives, widows and children of IS fighters. Previous husband gets killed, the women usually marry the next in line, and have more children. Which is why it's 4 women, and 9 kids. And that's after the high infant morality rate. >When the group arrive in Australia, "some individuals will be arrested and charged," the Australian Federal Police (AFP) Commissioner Krissy Barrett said. The larger cohort left the camp in February but returned for "technical reasons" with the Australian government refusing to officially repatriate them. Given the history of IS wives, the odd are the women will all be arrested, and the kids will be sent to deprogramming therapy.

I was assured by the pro-rebel supporters that ISIS prisoners would not all walk free when the rebels demanded SDF hand them over. Weird.
