It's like saying we should re-annex Hong Kong.
As it is, these traitors from within are taking advantage of liberal policies to argue their case whilst denying their practice from their own perspective. Asymmetric debate occurs when both sides argue using a premise, but only one side takes it seriously. If these people deny a common state to the point of using or supporting the use of force against it and its citizens, we're better off without them, and we should facilitate their exit from the country which they hate so much. From a liberal perspective that supports democracy and self-determination, it's the most lenient way of giving both sides what they want: they can have their Islamist state, while we can have the rule of the people.
