The writer goes to great lengths to make the security for the London Olympics seem absolutely Orwellian. However, with the U.K now having a large Muslim population that has shown a penchant for violence before, the security measures, admittedly tight, are not entirely out of bounds considering the horrendous threat. Although the IOC has conveniently forgotten the 1972 Olympic massacre of Israeli athletes at Munich, the Brits have not.

Were there not as large of a Muslim population as there is today in London, I doubt the security would be quite as stringent. As Ann Coulter once stated: every Muslim may not be a terrorist but to date, just about every terrorist has been a Muslim. England is just being vigilant, not oppressive. That could change but I don't see it happening...yet.

‘However, with the U.K now having a large Muslim population’

Really, because I could swear that we dont. In fact 96% of the population is NOT Muslim. And some of the 4% who are are white converts, black Afro-Caribbean converts, white Muslims from Eastern Europe (Kosovo for example), and Muslims from Asia (Malaysia, Singapore).

Why do Americans think Britain is overrun with Muslims?.

If she said that, then that has to be one of the stupidest comments ever uttered.

Islam will NEVER be compatible with Christianity and Judaism. NEVER. So they need to be deported to an arab nation of their choosing.

We fight in Afghanistan, Iraq building airports, embassies, training their people to take care of themselves. America is incapable under the non-standards of the current evil regime to take care of our own nation! We spend billions on foreign countries but can’t defend our own nation. DHS, TSA is a laugh.

Have you BEEN to London? It is already “Orwellian.” CCTV cameras cover almost everything throughout London.
Doesn’t seem to prevent or solve crimes, though.

That said, it just makes sense to have this sort of security when Moslems make up a major part of the local population. The same writer talking about the “police state” will be harping about the “lack of security” if they manage to blow something up...
