Intelligence officers have identified 23,000 jihadist extremists living in Britain as potential terrorist attackers, it emerged yesterday.

The scale of the challenge facing the police and security services was disclosed by Whitehall sources after criticism that multiple opportunities to stop the Manchester bomber had been missed.

About 3,000 people from the total group are judged to pose a threat and are under investigation or active monitoring in 500 operations being run by police and intelligence services. The 20,000 others have featured in previous inquiries and are categorised as posing a “residual risk”.

The two terrorists who have struck in Britain this year — Salman Abedi, the Manchester bomber, and Khalid Masood, the Westminster killer — were in the pool of “former subjects of interest” and no longer…

Did you catch this stat from the article? It’s horrific.

36 per cent of the young people questioned [UK Muslims] said they believed that a Muslim who converts to another religion should be “punished by death.”


And that’s only those who would admit to it on the survey.

Statistics on the radicalization of British muslims.

Their Holy Koran directs ALL of them to harass, rape, kill, behead, terrorize the infidels wherever Muslims find them.

There is no such animal as a radical Muslim. They are ALL taught to follow the Koran. The Koran directs them all to kill you as an infidels. And your children, your parents....

The only sane path to follow is to outlaw Islam (a terrorist cult) and remove them all to the he%% holes they came from.

They’ve created their own problem. I’d have more sympathy if they got their immigrant policy under control. I see no signs of that happening. I was appalled to see that migrant rights was on the agenda of the recent G-7 meetings. Fortunately Trump wouldn’t sign on to it.

It’s probably much higher than that.
This video from here in Michigan tells the tale.
There is no radical Islam, it’s just Islam.

And Islam is a threat to the rest of humanity just as it has been for 1395 years.
We will either acknowledge that fact and start removing them from civilization or civilization will submit to Islam.

Submit or die.

Or kill them first.

Islam must be extirpated as an ideology as Nazism was.

Trump seems to not be waging the war with Congress that needs to be had. I presume it’s because he thinks he needs to suck up in order to get the legislation he wants. If he doesn’t get what he wants before the 2018 elections, I hope he takes off the gloves and fights for the Congress we need.

Imagine if Hitler had been able to send 23,000 followers, 3,000 of them fanatics, to England prior to WW II. Think about it for a minute. 3,000 fanatics embedded in civil society is virtually an army. The war would have had a different outcome.

...Thousands will be killed. I wonder if THAT will be enough to get it through their cement filled heads...

Sadly, 911 wasn't even enough for Americans to get it thru our heads

Makes one wonder how many have been on our own FBI’s RADAR and dismissed (as were all the ones who have already committed murder of American citizens) and how many are currently on the RADAR (to be dismissed at a later date)....
