First you would have to define the term "terrorism" and remove any racist implications. Then you would have to consider what the appropriate response would be to a domestic "terrorist". Then you would need to consider why the foreign actor is different. If someone could be proven to be orchestrating an act of political violence against a civilian population, they would need to be removed from the populace, whether that be gaol or deportation. My preference would be gaol since they would be more likely to foment danger more freely elsewhere.

 @9FG3GMKanswered…1yr1Y

No, they should be carefully watched but if they do anything critical then yes

 @9JR4YBQanswered…1yr1Y

Maybe they should be treated as any UK national would be - just a thought (terrorism is not just a foreign problem) x

 @9LW9HFSanswered…10mos10MO

Should only be deported for criminal acts or if they are part of a terrorist group or takes part in action which fall under the term terrorist

 @93876Z8answered…3yrs3Y

  @knowmeinsideoutGreenanswered…1wk1W

no, the definition of terrorism is too broad, and immigrants should have the same free speech rights as citizens

 @B2WS4VNWomen's Equality answered…1wk1W

Yes

It can not be just me that has noticed the massive rise in most crimes since foreigners have been allowed into our country. Just watch a recent episode of crime watch for your answer. Yes. Get them out!

 @9V7KLQ4answered…5mos5MO

Yes and deport eny non white british person from the uk if they have committed a crime to saudi arabia.

 @9SHFMY5Labouranswered…6mos6MO

We should not allow immigrants into the country, but for refugees, no, we should try to get more proof

 @9QVJ4JVanswered…7mos7MO

Yes, anyone who is suspected to be posing a serious threat to our nation should be deported. However this must be done in a cost efficient and ethical way.

 @9QJWJ69answered…8mos8MO

Only if they are convicted by a court to have actually broken the law in some way, not just 'considered to be promoting'.

 @9QHLZD3answered…8mos8MO

Only if there is undeniable evidence that these individuals have exhibited radical behaviour that can harm British people

 @9Q8SG9Tanswered…8mos8MO

No, but if there is real and true evidence of terrorism about to be committed then yes. But if there is no evidence of terrorism then no and that foreigners should have that same free speech rights an citizens.

 @9Q7XB52Liberal Democratanswered…8mos8MO

They should be treated the same as UK nationals who are promoting terrorism and face the same rigorous process of the law.

 @9P3G4TKanswered…8mos8MO

No, if they are committing a crime they should be treated as a british citizen, and lawful actions should be taken.

 @9P3C6ZK answered…8mos8MO

The rules should apply to our own citizens as it does to foreigners, therefore either arrest or do not. We do not kick our citizens and should not.

 @9NLZF7Nanswered…9mos9MO

Human rights need to be respected regardless of where they are from but if it is obviously promoting terrorism, then maybe

 @9NHR3SLanswered…9mos9MO

Everyone should be entitled to the right of free speech no matter how kind or heinous the opinion is perceived by others. However, people which openly threaten our people, back terrorist organisations and could put risk to national security should be deported.

 @9N6R99Tanswered…9mos9MO

As long as there is either evidence of thoughts related to terrorism or have taken part in what it deemed illegal activity

 @9N5N5KRanswered…9mos9MO

Yes, but only if the country they will return to is safe, if the term “terrorism” is not used in the lightest terms. If the safety of others is in danger, yes. But if someone has been labelled as one for conducting a peaceful protest, no.

A tier system would be beneficial.

 @9N5M3GPanswered…9mos9MO

If any citizen can be proved to promote terrorism then they should go through the court system, potentially prison

 @9N3T5JRanswered…9mos9MO

If they are explicitly promoting terrorism then yes, but this could be an act of profiling, so I am unsure.

 @9MV8379answered…9mos9MO

A referral to PREVENT should be made and if fails and behaviours persist/escalate then deportation to a country which respects their human rights should be considered

 @9MPC7CManswered…9mos9MO

No, we have a responsibility to prosecute criminals including terrorist sympathisers and not to destabilise the world by deporting them to potentially weak states

 @9JXZ4MManswered…1yr1Y

Yea, but only if terrorism is clearly defined as incitement to violence or engaging in violent acts (currently the definition is too broad and easily abused for political ends).

 @9J8CXPQanswered…1yr1Y

No, only those who are convicted of crimes and where their human rights will be respected in the country they are deported to.

 @9HZVP5Zanswered…1yr1Y

What the police/law consider as "terrorism" could be change depending on biases/beliefs of the authority.

I believe that the same laws that apply to citizens should apply to immigrants. Terrorism laws should be clear and unbiased with no room for interpretation or misuse. Terrorism is a serious crime, regardless of of being a citizen or immigrant.

 @9H5YF5Tanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, as long as their free-speech is protected, and significant police checks have been done to evidence a high-potential of terrorist involvement

 @9GWVC4Qanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, but only is their is definitive evidence that shows planning for terrorism and they should be taken to a country that respects human rights

 @9GRC9WDGreenanswered…1yr1Y

No, they should be treated the same as domestic citizens as a two tiered punishment system in inherently racist

 @9GPQ232from Colorado  answered…1yr1Y

The definition of terrorism is too broad but if their actions greatly endanger others or alude to endangering others then yes.

  @Kovu answered…1yr1Y

Depends on the nature of context, the circumstances and individual(s), and the level of terrorist acts or criminality/threat. Also they should be given a fair trial or be approached and dealth with as appropriately and safely as possible, and this included domestic terrorism or threats too, in my opinion, but if deporting anyone for anything, especially in such a case of promoting or actively committing terrorist acts, threats or other criminality, and especially if one already as a history and record of such, they should be deported if that country or area is safe to return to or be places elsewhere as an alternative.

 @9FXF5WRGreenanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, but only if there is undeniable evidence of this fact and their is assurance their human rights will be upheld in the country they’re deported to.

 @9FVKSV6answered…1yr1Y

Yes but it depends what the Government consider terrorism. Current Government want to treat anyone who criticises them, as well as the UK, as if they're domestic terrorists.

 @9FM4K3Panswered…1yr1Y

Only if they are proven by a court of law to have been promoting terrorism or serious crimes

 @9FLRR7BLabouranswered…1yr1Y

Only deport foreigners who have committed crimes and only to countries where there human rights will be respected

 @9FJDTR3answered…1yr1Y

 @9FFXC3Danswered…1yr1Y

 @9FCJK6Xanswered…1yr1Y

Only deport if involved in terror organisations or with a criminal background (preferably linked to terrorism)

 @9F94LYLanswered…1yr1Y

yes but only if there is conclusive evidence and human rights are respected.

 @9F7VSL6Labouranswered…1yr1Y

Yes, after being stripped of all their privelages and serving a harsh prison sentence in the UK.

 @9DTQ5DJanswered…1yr1Y

Deport them only after they receive a fair trial and their sentence has been served

 @9D3TFG5Labouranswered…2yrs2Y

No, if they are inciting hatred or violence then their promotion is illegal anyway and should carry the same penalty as citizens

 @9ZSRHLCanswered…3mos3MO

Yes, promoting terrorism is a crime, any non British citizen committing any crime should be deported

 @9ZG8Y52Labouranswered…3mos3MO

Yes, and deport foreigners who convicted of any serious crimes such as Rape, First Degree Murder, etc

 @9PY2QSJfrom Nicosia  answered…8mos8MO

Terrorism is too broad a word, I do believe that anyone who insights violence against someone else or a group of people should be punished, in the UK prisons.

 @9PXL2XK answered…8mos8MO

Yes but there should be a thorough process to ensure that the government can’t abuse this a send away anyone they want

 @9PWDD5L answered…8mos8MO

Yes but only if there is strong/undeniable evidence of terrorist sympathising or organisation or association

 @9PRG758answered…8mos8MO

No, if they are a treat to society we should take them to trial and put them in jail. Releasing someone with terroristic ideations into another country only causes troubles somewhere else.

 @9PR3J2Nanswered…8mos8MO

Considered by who. If it is confirmed then yes they should. But not simply because they are considered by some.

 @9PNQ6TCanswered…8mos8MO

De-radicalisation measures should be implemented first and the human rights of the individual respected.

 @9PLCM6Kanswered…8mos8MO

They should be challenged on why they’re doing it. Just deporting them isn’t resolving the problem because they’ll incite terror elsewhere.

 @9PH98L6answered…8mos8MO

The term is too broad and a suspicion without evidence could mean someone considered to be a terrorist isn’t and that’s unfair

 @9P77GMFSNPanswered…8mos8MO

No, if they are a citizen of this country, then like any other native citizen they must serve their time in jail

 @9P48SJWanswered…8mos8MO

No, if they are breaking UK law then they should be tried in this country and deported or imprisoned if found guilty.

 @5ZYN8CZLabour  from Washington D.C.  answered…9mos9MO

Yes but only if they're convicted in a court of law as deliberately promoting terrorism and violence.

 @9NBV8LPanswered…9mos9MO

Since the definition of 'promoting terrorism' has been altered to include even those who just oppose government policies, then what is a terrorist?

 @9NBBGF8answered…9mos9MO

Yes, if it is determined they can be held securely in their home country. No, if they would be able to continue to promote terrorism from elsewhere.

 @9MYHG9Xanswered…9mos9MO

Yes, as long as the definition of 'promoting' is clearly defined and understood by the immigrant, Also they should have a warning and only be deported for repeated activity.

 @9M65HW4answered…10mos10MO

Yes but only if they had intention to harm others and have been tried fairly in court and found guilty.

 @9KZWGNHanswered…11mos11MO

Yes and for citizens, but only if their human rights are respected by the country to which they are deported.

 @9Q48XWNGreenanswered…8mos8MO

Yes, with terrorism properly and strictly defined and priven beyond reasonable doubt. Citizens who hold a UK passport should face jail here if found guilty of this.

 @9Q3CF47answered…8mos8MO

I think any foreign National who has commited a crime or act of terrorism should be deported but I think if they seem to be promoting terrorism against the UK this should result in in-depth investigations but not automatic deportation

 @9MZ4T26answered…9mos9MO

No. If someone is a dangerous criminal they ought to be dealt with here where we can monitor them, rather than set loose elsewhere to continue being a problem.

 @9MYQSLZanswered…9mos9MO

It depends on what the definition of promoting terrorism is. I think that if the person is supporting or threatening harm or damage to persons or property then yes as long as the county they’re deported to respects their human rights.

 @9LPBLLVanswered…10mos10MO

No, investigations should take place through the home office, counter terrorism police and MI5 if needed. If they are promoting terrorism and links to terror organisations, they should be deported.

 @9LNNLWJanswered…10mos10MO

No, if someone really did a pose a risk to national security we would probably be safer if they were kept in a high security prison

 @9LCBJZ5answered…11mos11MO

No, free speech needs to be respected. But any foreign national actually convicted of a crime should be deported after serving their sentence.

 @92R8Y57answered…3yrs3Y

 @9NTVFS6answered…8mos8MO

Yes but it has to be very clear on what is meant by terrorism. A brown person dissatisfied with how they're being treated in Britain is not terrorism but actively encouraging acts of violence or grooming for terrorism should be addressed.

 @9MZ76TCanswered…9mos9MO

No. Anybody who promotes terrorism should be jailed, regardless of whether or not they were born here.

 @9NWZ2FQanswered…8mos8MO

Yes, but only if terrorism meets a strict definition and isn’t as broad as it is and as long as their human rights will be respected by the country they are deported to.

 @Elyspethiananswered…4yrs4Y

Whilst terrorism promoted by foreigners within the country should be addressed, judicially and internationally, we also should address domestic terrorism as promoted by white radicals and televise said persons as much as the media focuses on those of who aren’t—further background history of said persons should be addressed and results should be transparent. Rehabilitation and education into the issues at hand should be the tentative focus of the prison service. Furthermore, the definition of terrorism is a rather broad definition, and could be used to the biases of political groups.

 @9C96FHKanswered…2yrs2Y

No keep them in the country and closely monitor them and arrest them if they do promote terrorism

 @9BXWL94answered…2yrs2Y

No, but only there is significant evidence that they are promoting radical ideologies, then government funded schemes on rehabilitating people like this, should be a requirement for them to complete.

 @9BXPCN4answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, only if they are actively and undeniably invoked in either the promotion or action of violent terrorism.

 @9BSKBCSanswered…2yrs2Y

No, the government are abusing their powers to deport people who should be deemed UK citizens

 @9BSF9G5answered…2yrs2Y

 @9BRPY7Panswered…2yrs2Y

Foreigners should (if they will be safe in home country) but so should uk citizens if they promote terrorism

 @9BNKKW6answered…2yrs2Y

 @9BNG345answered…2yrs2Y

No, foreigners should have the same free speech rights as citizens and if they are found to be a member of 'terrorist' organisation, they should be subject to the same rights as a UK citizen.

 @9B7D8THanswered…2yrs2Y

No, if they are UK citizens they abide by the same laws as those born in the country.

 @966NDGWConservativeanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, immigrants who have committed an offence should be deported to the country of origin as applicable, only if such a nation is known to be a safe environment to allow for the individuals fair and public trial. In the circumstance where the nation in question is not a safe destination for the deported immigrant, they should then be deported to a country that is known to be safe. The immigrant may be afforded the choice of destination in cases of lesser crime, however this will not be the case in more serious situations. An immigrant may not be deported for acts of High Treason, Sedition, or any other extreme act of violence towards the Public or the Crown (which is considered to be an embodiment of our nation).

 @965TC6Ranswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but only if there is undeniable evidence that they may be a threat to the country.

 @965SRJManswered…2yrs2Y

You have to have actual proof that they are promoting terrorism rather than you thinking it

 @964K7DDanswered…2yrs2Y

No, they should go through a mandatory rehabilitation program to ensure they are no longer a threat
