| UK police say terror activity is growing | |
| 2006-07-04 | |
| The level of "sinister" terrorist activity in Britain is increasing as the anniversary of last year's July 7 attacks on London approaches, the head of Scotland Yard's anti-terrorist squad has warned. Over the past 12 months, he said, police had disrupted "three or four" potential plots and were involved in more than 70 separate investigations. More than 60 individuals are awaiting trial.
The fact that the majority of those under suspicion were British citizens was alarming, as was the "extreme youth" of some of them, he added. He said that although some of the people at the centre of investigations had links to al Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan and Pakistan as well as Bosnia and Chechnya, there had been no indications of a greater radicalisation caused by the Iraq conflict. Security has been stepped up in the approach to the first annniversary, on Friday, of the London bombings. A two-minute silence will be held as part of a programme of remembrance. | |

| #15 "Nor is there any reason to believe it will, especially if we would get the multi-culti-tranzi educationists out of our schools so they could start assimilating these kids." And just how likely is that to happen? "Nation of Islam - Calypso Louie Farrakhan's cult" Ah yes, the Nation of Islam, I should have picked up on that. Another pack of racist would-be murdering thugs hiding behind religion. |

| #8 but our Muslim problem hasn't reached the same level as theirs. At least we've identified the problem. Now on to the solution. |

| #7 Penetrate them. A thousand fake muslim men with orders to go round the universities and youth clubs looking for jihadis to team up with. Hopefully it's already being done. |

| #6 "This is unprecedented and the flow of new cases shows no sign of abating - if anything it is accelerating," Peter Clarke, the head of counter terrorism for the Metropolitan Police, said. So surprised-- gee, you don't suppose it would have anything to do with this, do you? Stop tolerating imams who preach anti-British hatred and incite violence against non-Muslims, and you won't have splodeydopes in your midst. Or are your minds so open your brains have fallen out? |

| #3 Frankly, I'm more worried about NOI, and I'm not very worried about them. shoot anything in a bowtie. Of course, we'd lose Tucker Carlson, but that's a feature, not a bug |

| #2 our Muslim problem hasn't reached the same level as theirs. Nor is there any reason to believe it will, especially if we would get the multi-culti-tranzi educationists out of our schools so they could start assimilating these kids. Frankly, I'm more worried about NOI, and I'm not very worried about them. |

| #1 They're under attack, at war and cannot bring themselves to acknowledge it. The level of denial is breathtaking. Of course there's the same denial here from various segments of the society, but our Muslim problem hasn't reached the same level as theirs. Yet. |
