Letter to the I: Anti Islamic State Fighters

I was outraged to hear that the government has decided to prosecute the British anti-Islamic State fighter Josh Walker under counter-terrorism laws.  What outrages me more is how some British public commentators backs how the government has been treating him, claiming that he is just as bad an Islamic State fighter.  Josh went to Syria to help the Kurds fight to protect their lives and their freedom.  Islamic State fighters fight only to take away the lives and the freedoms of those who do not fit into their world view.  We should be supporting those who risk their lives in the cause of freedom, instead of arresting them.  Mr Walker deserves a medal, not a cell.
