UK will face Islamist terror threat for next 30 years, former MI5 chief warns
The Telegraph ^ | 11 AUGUST 2017 | AUGUST 2017

The UK is likely to face an Islamist terrorist threat for the next 30 years, the former head of MI5 has warned.

Jonathan Evans, who stepped down as director general of the spy agency in 2013, described the threat as a “generational problem” which will take decades to tackle.

Lord Evans also claimed the Westminster Bridge attack earlier this year may have had an energising effect on extremists.

Meanwhile, he said he would be “very surprised” if Russia had not tried to interfere in the UK's last general election.

Lord Evans, who now sits in the House of Lords as a crossbench peer, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “I think on the terrorism side we are at least 20 years into this. My guess is that we will still be dealing with the long tail in another 20 years time.

After which the UK will have fully surrendered to the jihadis and adopted Sharia Law? Or does the fool actually believe that the jihadis, through the tireless efforts of progressives, will be fully and peacefully integrated into Brit / European society by then?

Meanwhile, he said he would be “very surprised” if Russia had not tried to interfere in the UK's last general election.

Hilariously pathetic.

And they’ll respond by electing Sadiq Khan as their PM.

They will NEVER see the end to terror unless St. George drives out the Muslims from Britain as St. Patrick drove out the snakes from Ireland

It will take until the Brits overtly surrender to “tackle”. It’s not going to be “tackled”. What is or would be “tackling it”?

Islamism will never agree to co-exist with Western values. It’s not in its nature. We’re seeing it now. How many examples are required? There is no endpoint one can label “compromise”.

These statements are made by highly placed goofballs who are committing suicide with other peoples’ lives.

In thirty years England will no longer exist as we know it. The moslems will have taken over, then they will begin killing each other because they are not moslem enough.

Christians have been facing Islamic terrorism for more than 1400 years, and it has always been essentially the same.

Kill, rape, and enslave the infidels! If they gain the upper hand, lie to them until you have another chance to destroy them.

Preposterous statement, huh? What will happen in 30 years? The Brits will wake up to the loss of their nation and throw the moslems out? Or is that the date projected for the final, total capitulation?

Christian people and Jewish travelers will be unable to visit the United Kingdom inside of twenty years.
They simply cannot match the U.K. Muslim rate of birth what with 6-8 children being very common.

Indeed. After 30 they won’t call it terrorism - it will simply be called “law enforcement”.

The Brits won’t be around in 30 years. They will be bred out.

libertylover thinks the war on terror will never end. It's like Florida's war on mosquitos, you can't kill them all off, only kill them down to a tolerable level. But right now, we're still way above a tolerable level.

So what happens after 30 years to make Islamic terrorism in the UK magically go away? Is that when the British Caliphate is established?

No. Secularism or some other radicalism will take it’s place. It is not a ‘generational problem’ it is a ‘spiritual problem’. Until Jesus returns, there will never be peace. Look at what the BJP is doing, or perhaps merely ‘allowing’ to be done to Christians. What do the NorKs do to Christians? This will continue until His return. The ‘players’ change but the ‘game’ does not.

At the rate they are going they won’t last 30 years.
The leftist there are insuring the UK gets a new name and new flag to go with it’s new people.
Oh and the terrorism doesn’t stop when a country becomes fully Islamic so unless something drastic happens to change things terrorism is there to stay.

Islam is a curse on a society

I understand what you’re saying, but this has been a singular problem for 1,400 years. It should’ve been obliterated long ago as the festering evil that it is. There is no coexisting with totalitarian evil.

Anyone who has seriously studied the bible knows that the end times will have world that looks nothing like the 18-21st century we have known. THIS tells you exactly why. Western Civilization will come to its end very soon.

ONLY “for the next 30 years”?

Does the former chief of MI5 have not have a single brain cell in his head?

Does he not recall what happened recently in Westminster just yards from his doorstep?

Does he know nothing of world history nor world events of the last 1400 years?

It is truely frightening that someone so stupid can be appointed head of MI5 !

Exactly what I was thinking.
