The problem is that it only applies to people of certain backgrounds who join terrorist 'states'.
If I went and joined ISIS it would unquestionably be illegal to do what Javid is proposing as no government recognises ISIS as another nation capable of granting citizenship. Therefore I would be left stateless.
Whether you think of that as a good thing or not, his proposal would instantly be thrown out of court in my case and, as such, would be a ridiculous thing for the home Secretary to do.
Therefore we're treating people with different backgrounds as second class citizens, I.e. not fully British even when they solely hold a British passport; the only difference is their parents are from another nation. Is that acceptable?
