After the Manchester attack: How can Britain better engage its Muslims?

MAY 23, 2017 —In the months before the May 22 suicide bombing in the city of Manchester, England, the British were in a lively debate about efforts to counter the radicalization of Muslims. No doubt the mass killing at a concert by a 22-year-old local man will revive the debate. Yet, given the country’s pioneering interventions in its Muslim communities, the rest of the world can still learn from how it has deterred both extremists and would-be ones.

Under a government strategy known as Prevent, more than 8,000 people have been referred for possible inclusion in anti-radicalization programs since 2012. At the same time, security forces have been on alert for the possible return of hundreds of people who left Britain since 2014 to join Islamic State in Syria and Iraq. Officials claim that more than a dozen potential terrorist attacks have been thwarted.

Before the Manchester bombing, the last major attack in the country was the 2005 train and bus bombings in London. Despite this, Britons worry that the country is not doing enough – or is doing the wrong thing.

The heart of the debate is deciding on the proper approach in dealing with young Muslims.

...coming around.

They come to their new home without any intention of integrating, they’re there to take over. Then use it excuse “it’s your fault for not integrating us” to be violent. It’s pathetic.

From several hundred yards away, with a mix of ball, AP, and tracer from belt fed weapons would get my vote.

Give the Muslims more money so they can build bigger bombs. That’ll get it over with faster.

If that’s the “heart of the debate,” the Brits are delusional. The debate should concern the asshats in charge.

You took the words from my mouth. But - don’t hold your breath. Europe has lost the instinct for self preservation.
