Britain plans map of extremist hotspots
2006-10-16
BRITAIN will unveil plans for a map of Islamic extremist hotspots today in an effort to focus attention on them so they can be broken up, the Daily Mirror tabloid reported.

The campaign would be announced by Communities and Local Government Secretary Ruth Kelly in central London in a meeting with police chiefs and local city council heads, the newspaper reported without citing its sources. Ms Kelly would ask the police and council heads to identify the universities, schools and mosques where young Muslims were provided with extremist views. "The new extremism we are facing is the single biggest security issue facing local communities,'' Ms Kelly would say, the tabloid reported.
She's actually making some sense. I'm sure someone will deal with that.
"The world has changed since September 11 (2001) and 7/7 (the July 7, 2005 attacks on London's transport network). The government has to change and respond to that and we appeal to local authorities to do the same.

"We need to work closer together in partnership with the police and local communities to face down this threat.''

The report comes on the same day as The Guardian reported that lecturers and staff at Britain's universities would be asked to spy on "Asian-looking'' and Muslim students they suspected of supporting terrorist acts and involvement in Islamic extremism.
That's going to draw an indignant editorial.
Citing a document drawn up by the British education ministry, the newspaper said universities had been warned of talent-spotting by terrorists on campuses across the country, and of students being "groomed'' for extremism.

#15  Have the Brits really understood that giving away an inch will result in losing a mile with these people? These days of PC worshipping, backpeddling is not uncommon.

#14  'geek, for Dearborn, I can even give you street by street analysis w/an eight digit grid if need be. The latter being for on-call targets and such - we can plug it into our fire plan sketch.

#13  I think we need to wait and see how really on the move the Brits are. Seems a bit premature to issue congratulations. There is going to be a very strong backlash against this with all the usual claims about marginalization, mass blame, etc. The universtiy folks will certainly gag. Lets see how strong they are when the white colonial guilt cards are waved before them.

#12  So what did the Brits get wind of?

All of a sudden they're on the move.

#11  My gawd, this is a tremendous step forward. Identify these asses. Let it be known they are under constant surveillance. Any false moves result in immediate deportation. We definitely need this same type program in US. We have Muzzie enclaves coast to coast. Now I see that a few greedy bankers want to set up Islamic banking groups. Deport these scumbags right along with their Muzzie overlords. Let them be dhimmis in the land of camels if that's their desire. Bravo Brits. Keep fighting.

#10  Why is London completely coloured in?

#9  While the Brits may feel they need a map for this purpose (given their proportionately much larger Muslim population, plus their ongoing issues post-colonies) we are already coordinating info flow between federal, state and local levels of law enforcement / intel -- and in a much bigger country, too -- without such a map.

Maybe not perfectly, but we've come a long way since 9/11.

I don't know that publishing a map here is useful -- and it might be counterproductive if it compromises investigations. Remember, the Brits are the ones who are now notifying Islamist imams prior to raids. Not a habit I want us to adopt.

#8  lotp, I assume they have all the info, but to violate PC Commandments by publishing a map,,,God forbid.

#7  wxjames, you're assuming the Feds haven't gathered this kind of information long ago. Based on the arrests in Brooklyn, Queens, Lackawana, Lodi and elsewhere, I'd say the evidence is that you're wrong about that.

#6  I already have a map of Dearborn, Michigan, but thanks anyway Brits.

#5  Once again, the Brits have taken the lead. Will the US join them ?
Will the US remain in denial for a few more years ?
Will any other EU country follow their lead and begin to isolate the cancer of Islam ?

If you answered 'no', 'yes', and 'uuummmabey', you get an 'A' for today and you can go play golf for the rest of the day.

#4  Plot it with mosques and I'll bet there's a correlation.

#2  Studying in 2001 I remember contacting senior pastoral figures at my university about the preferable treatment muslim students received in performing their sacraments and also to the haughty rhetoric of the University's Student Islamic Society. The response? A dismissive e-mail statinmg all students were accorded the same rights and that socieities and clubs were already closely monitored. On returning 3 years later I discovered the situation had become worse, with the campus being slowly Islamicised. Muslim students who were in a sizeable minority had separated themselves from other students and non-muslims felt threatened by the aggressive attitude of said muslims. Even moderate muslim girls were intimidated by the nutters into wearing hijab or dressing more modestly.

University adminstrators should cease the multiculti bullshit and ban all Islamic Societies from British campuses - whilst retaining facilities for Buddhists/Jews/Christians/Sikhs i.e. those religions whose principal aim is not to dominate and intimidate others - only this way will we cut the cancer of Islam out of schools, universities and hopefully British society altogether. I'm glad that at last we've grown the stones to go on the attack against these bastards.
