'Incubator for terrorism': UK leaders under pressure to take on jihadist problem
Fox News ^ | August 26, 2014 | Adam Shaw

A British jihadist’s apparent role in the beheading of American journalist James Foley shows Britain has become an “incubator for terrorism,” and cries out for Prime Minister David Cameron to tackle the growing problem of radical Islam, critics of the government say.

Former rapper Abdel Majed Abdel Bary, 23, is believed to be the hooded figure who loomed over Foley and blasted the U.S. airstrikes in Iraq before cutting off his head in a gruesome video released Aug. 19, a senior Western intelligence official told Fox News. If that proves true, it would only be the latest example of barbarism from a British-raised Muslim extremist.

“Britain is dealing with a great evil within its midst,” Nile Gardiner, director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom, told FoxNews.com. “You have thousands of Islamic militants using Britain as their base from which to launch global operations.”

Cameron and his Conservative party must step up and meet the challenge, Gardiner said.

“Cameron is under a lot of pressure,” Gardiner said. “He has to be more aggressive against those who are traitors to their countries. Britain is acting as an incubator for terrorism.”

In May, 2013, two British-born Muslim converts, Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale, hacked soldier Lee Rigby to death on a busy London street in broad daylight in a crime that shocked the nation. That attack followed several acts of terrorism carried out by British jihadists within the United Kingdom, most notably the July 7, 2005 coordinated bombings of subway trains and a bus in central London that killed 52 and injured more than 700.

Seal the borders, monitor the mosques.

It would work here, too.

The UK could start by throwing out the ones living off the dole and govt housing.
Immigrants should not become a burden on the tax payers and most of these slugs don’t seem to want to work..want more than one wife and a bunch of kids to collect welfare.

tackle the growing problem of radical Islam, critics of the government say.

WRONG. It is Islam PERIOD. Islam is radical. It Demands that its followers either convert non muslims or kill them. Islam has already conquered large areas of England and the Brits either do not know it or refuse to accept it.

My prediction: Britain will try to solve this problem the same way the late Western Roman Empire tried to solve its barbarian problem.

The Romans bribed the barbarians, paid them not to invade or cause trouble. And that worked, for awhile. Eventually the barbarians realized how weak the Romans were. Then then barbarians just took it all.

... Brits do not know it or refuse to accept it...”

Excellent analysis as far is it goes - keep in mind that some Brits used to get it - Hillaire Belloc predicted the resurgence of Islam.

“Britain is dealing with a great evil ... “You have thousands of Islamic militants using Britain as their base from which to launch global operations.”

Sorry Brits, but that's the price you pay for 'cheap labor' from the ME... and you'll pay and pay and pay and pay... forever. Too bad your liberal elites who own the companies aren't passing on the price reduction THEY get from cheap labor. You get screwed twice.

Nope, you're the suckers British citizens...

Your elites call you racist if you don't accept people who hate you, hate your culture, hate your beliefs? They don't care about that - they care about CHEAP LABOR. Period. The 'racist' bit is to make you feel ashamed to speak out.
