It appears that countries are taking it seriously about this ISIS threat so are thinking of different ways to prevent their citizens from leaving; and if they do leave, how to prevent them from coming back.

UNITED NATIONS — France wants the power to block its citizens from leaving the country without a court order, while Britain is weighing whether to revoke citizenship altogether. Tunisia is debating measures to make it a criminal offense to help jihadist fighters travel to Syria and Iraq, while Russia has outlawed enlisting in armed groups that are “contradictory to Russian policy.”

The rapid surge of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, and its ability to draw fighters from across the globe, has set off alarm bells in capitals worldwide. Countries that rarely see eye to eye are now trying to blunt its recruitment drive, passing a raft of new rules that they hope will stop their citizens from joining extremist groups abroad and, in some cases, discussing how to keep them from ever coming home.

I'm amazed that Tunisia is debating over such an obvious matter. Of course it is a criminal offense - put their names on a terrorist list and if they try to re-enter the country sentence them to a long term in prison. As for the others discussing how to keep them from ever coming home - there is an easy solution. Revoke their citizenship and put their names on the terrorist list. If they are ever found in the country send them to prison. Make it clear - this won't be tolerated. If jihad is your plan -make plans to live elsewhere or you'll spend the rest of your days in a prison cell should you attempt to return here.
