Ahmed Aboutaleb, the mayor of the Dutch city of Rotterdam, speaking after deadly terror attacks on Paris claimed the lives of 129 people on Friday, argued now was the time to fight. He said: "I am no military strategist, but as a manager I say 'it is time to wipe out the 40,000 to 50,000 people who have joined ISIS." The call to arms comes as France launched its biggest ever bombing raid on ISIS in Syria in response to the deadly Paris terror attacks, with 10 fighter jets dropping 20 bombs on ISIS targets.

Strikes against ISIS were crucial, Mr Aboutaleb said, "because these events first and foremost turn against Muslims in Europe. "All peace-loving Muslims in Europe should distance themselves from this." Earlier this week, Mr Aboutaleb compared the depravity of ISIS in Iraq and Syria with Nazi Germany and the Holocaust.

He said: "ISIS are involved in ethnic cleansing on Christians, Shiites, Yezidis, Alawites and moderate Muslims." The outspoken mayor has also called for Dutch extremists to be banned from returning if they choose to travel to Syria to fight. He said: "I want to make sure those who are considering going to Syria know exactly what is at risk. "If you think this society is depraved, then go. But there is no way back. Hand over your passport and risk getting bombed."

Last night's French airstrikes destroyed a jihadi training camp and a munitions dump in the city of Raqqa, where Iraqi intelligence officials say the attacks on Paris were planned. David Cameron today restated his wish to begin bombing ISIS in Syria. But the Prime Minister admitted he needed "to convince more people" in Parliament of the need to blitz the jihadis.

He told the BBC: "I have always said I think that it is sensible that we should, ISIL [ISIS] don't recognise a border between Iraq and Syria and neither should we but I need to build the argument, I need to take it to parliament, I need to convince more people. "We won't hold that vote unless we can see that parliament would endorse action because to fail on this would be damaging, it is not a question of damaging the government it is a question of not damaging our country and its reputation in the world."
