France and Germany on Thursday pressed for urgent reforms to the European Union's visa-free Schengen travel zone to counter the increasing number of Europeans leaving to wage jihad in Iraq and Syria. French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve led the impassioned plea to EU counterparts at a meeting in Luxembourg, calling for "a European PNR (Passenger Name Record) ... and a more efficient system of checks at airports."This is urgent," he said. German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere echoed Cazeneuve, saying "three thousand fighters have left Europe to wage jihad and we don't want Europe to become an exporter of terror".
"We above all do not want battle-hardened fighters to return to Europe and plan attacks," he said. "We need measures both at the national and European levels."

Val says once again these are my views and you may have totally different ones all the Muslim leaders say these terror groups in Syria are not about THEIR religion, so why do these disenfranchised young people see the need to go and fight? Well the word "disenfranchised " says it all.
The adjective disenfranchised describes a person or group of people who are stripped of their power, like disenfranchisedimmigrants who pay taxes but aren’t allowed to vote in elections.
Being disenfranchised is no fun. The rules work against you, your rights are constantly violated, and you have little power to change your life for the better. The Old French word enfranchirmeans “to make free,” and when you add the negative prefixdis-, disenfranchised means “made unfree.” A disenfranchised population doesn’t rest easy, and often they organize and fight back against their condition to demand their basic rights and freedom.
In France and the UK young people do have voting rights but perhaps feel victimized by the police and society in general, making them wish for a better life.
