Sikh Federation UK supports military action against ISIS

September 27, 2014 | By Sikh Siyasat Bureau

London, United Kingdom: A written statement by Sikh Federation UK, a UK based organization, says: “[A] humanitarian crisis is taking place in Iraq with the barbaric acts of ISIS – beheadings, crucifixions, gauging out of eyes, burying people alive and use of rape as a weapon.

British involvement in military action in Iraq, working with allies, is largely symbolic, but necessary on humanitarian grounds to help victims and doing nothing is not really an option. A broad coalition exists as ISIS is a global threat to wider international security.

“Whilst the situation in Syria is more complicated in our view there is a strong case for action against ISIS in Syria, especially as the border between Syria and Iraq has virtually disappeared.

However, there is a bigger ideological religious challenge reflected in the disturbing fact that the conflict and the evil ISIS is attracting young Muslims from the UK and other countries”.
