I'm Going To Miss Westminster Abbey - Thousands Of UK-Born Jihadists In Enclaves Across All Of Britain

Warning Signs

Good lord:

The document, which was drawn up by the intelligence branch of the Ministry of Defence, MI5 and Special Branch, states that "some thousands" of extremists are active in the UK... The report states that the threat from the Islamist extremist community in the UK is "diverse and widely distributed" but adds that the numbers of terrorist in Britain is "difficult to judge". The document does state, however, that the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre, which is based in MI5's headquarters at Thames House in London, estimates that there are "some thousands of extremists in the UK committed to supporting Jihadi activities, either in the UK or abroad"...

The report continues: "The majority of extremists are British nationals of south Asian, mainly Pakistani origin but there are also extremists from north and east Africa, Iraq and the Middle East, and a number of converts... The main extremist concentrations are in London, Birmingham, with significant extremist networks in the South East, notably Luton... There are around 1.5 million Muslims in Britain, a million of whom live in London... Security officials are convinced that UK-based al-Qaeda cells will attempt to carry out another "spectacular" inside the UK with major transport termini, such as airports and train stations, being the most likely targets.

Government officials are already not allowed to link jihadism to Islam despite the documented military necessity of doing so - but now British Muslims are demanding that UK officials stop criticizing sharia altogether. When an expose on radical Muslim incitement is brought to the British public's attention, it is - insanely - the filmmakers who get blasted. Then the BBC rushes to create programming - ficticious programming, obviously - highlighting how it's actually Christians who are targeting Muslims. And Brits wonder why they can't seem to get a handle on this domestic extremism thing.

Extremist imams are banning their followers from integrating even symbolically into Britain while British officials have deported only one radical preacher in the last three years. No worries though - they're keeping their borders sealed to Israeli politicians and parting ways with Israeli leftists and Israeli unions. So when it comes to dangerous Israelis, they're looking pretty good.
