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…

Interview any Muslims in U.K. and ask if they would be ok if any innocents would be killed. They’ll say they are not ok with killing innocent people.
Any non-muslim is NOT innocent.

All are full of taqiyya and you know the definition of a moderate Muslim.

No one could have foreseen this eventuality.

Furthermore, I don’t think they are counting all the terrorist islamophobes.

That sounds about right. There are approximately 3 million Muslims living in the UK. So if only 1% of them are radical (or jihadist or whatever)that’s 30,000 of them that are willing and or capable of committing terrorist attacks, or being accomplices in same.

30,000 is a lot of people in a small country who can coordinate and carry out a terrorist attack.

Even if it’s only 3,000 people out of 3 million, if they are well coordinated and have the motive they can cause a lot of murder and mayhem.

If they would deport 230 a day, the’d be done in 100 days.

In the same way ISIS is attacking in the Philippines, they will attack UK.

Took the stadium terrorism/murders of at least 22 for the Brits to step up? And to think British intelligence was in the dark???

Whatever reactionary steps taken forward, such will be undermined by Britain’s abject disregard for a safe, liberated, and sovereign state.

And the government will say that they are powerless to do anything until they kill someone.

But the manchester mayor says the murderer of 20+ was not a moozlum. The moozlum mayor says they must get used to mass murders because they are part of city living. England...you may well be doomed. On your knees and have your heads chopped off. End your self-loathing misery...now. Idiots.

Britain is on a high speed direct collision course for a 911 on their own turf. Thousands will be killed. I wonder if THAT will be enough to get it through their cement filled heads that their immigration “policy” is absolute suicide.

Look, they know who they are.
GO out, and kill them.
Don’t have the heart to do the right thing? Deport them and fight them on foreign soil. Its far more convenient to deal the issue on home soil..

They are an occupying invasive enemy force. Their sole goal through sharia is to supplant the existing constitution and kill the host.

It really is a simple choice

And it will only get worse. Studies have shown the children of UK Muslims are - in general - more radical than their parents. Here’s an article about that:

Drive the muslims out of our civilized countries. Corral them in the mideast sandboxes. Then, let them go at each other all they want.

If this is true, there is no place to incarcerate them. They will have to be dealt with in a permanent manor.

Are you serious?

You seem to be arguing that most Muslims are OK citizens.

Their Holy Koran commands them to harass, rape, kill, behead non-Muslims. Those who kill you apparently believe are radical but those who haven't killed yet are peaceful.

How do you separate the killers from the peaceful? Wait for them to follow their direction and then arrest them after they kill dozens of innocent people?

ALL Muslims are directed to be terrorists. For the west to survive, ALL Muslims must be removed and their murderous cult must be banned. It is not a religion, it is directions for barbarians to enslave infidels in their Muslim he%%. Do you want to go to the morgue and identify innocent children who were killed by barbarians?

The Muslims believe that for their pedophile prophet to return, that the world must be 100% grade A Muslim. To get there, they are directed to convert you or kill you.

Are you arguing that Americans are idiots too? Hussein Obama and his Muslim loving gov't imported hundreds of thousands of these "refugees" and it still continues.
