Elementary stuff
By David Warren In the words of one of my correspondents, I have been going around trying to believe that we havent been harbouring a Fifth Column, a blatant Fifth Column, and, lo, we have.My reply to everyone in her condition is, now you know. And now that you do know, do not forget what you know. The arrest of 17 alleged terror cell members around Toronto last weekend could not surprise anyone familiar with police and intelligence work in this area. We have been repeatedly warned that fanatical Islamists have been organizing, with a view to terror strikes -- not only abroad, but here. And as we should have observed already from England, and elsewhere in Europe, they have surprisingly little difficulty recruiting suicidal young Jihadis from the second and third generations of peaceful Muslim immigrants. These are facts that we must face, one way or another. Pretending its not happening, or that it will stop happening if we meet some fanciful demands (such as withdrawing from Afghanistan, or surrendering Andalusia), does not change the reality.
