"The terrorist threat facing Britain has developed into a "covert conspiracy" involving hundreds of men and women living ordinary lives in the nation's suburbs, security sources have revealed.

Unbeknown to their families and friends, they form a silent 1,200-strong "army" of terrorists. They are believed to be involved in at least 20 major plots that they hope will bring death and destruction to Britain."

Born in London, became "deeply religious" after September 11, friends and neighbors proclaim their innocence, "typical of other young Asian men who have become disaffected with the Western way of life and have been radicalised by militant Islamists."

"disaffected with the Western way of life"

I wonder if this is code for "unhappy with women being equal".

A pity the subjects (not citizens) have no way to defend themselves against this Islamic rabble and must rely on the Crown's goodwill and competence.

Thank God for 2nd Amendment.

Now what are they going to do about it?!?!

[BIGZ]

Thank the Lord for a President who will fight back. Can you imagine the catastrophe if Jimmy Carter, Gore or Kerry were in the White House. Clinton rolled over, Clinton gave Kosovo the the Muslims and did nothing to combat this terror during his tenure.

Wake up America of you will all get a compass and prayer rug in your stocking next Christmas.

The Muslims are good people just ask CAIR.

[Farmer Dean]

I'm sure that's a big part of their problem.That and "honor killings" being treated as first degree murder,really spoils their day.

Global mixing and cultural diversity programs - sew the wind and reap the whirlwind.

young Asian men who have become disaffected with the Western way of life..

Does that disaffection include a refusal to take the filthy infidel money that's offered by various government entities in western countries like the UK?

Important to read if you believe worldwide connections with the latest Canadian busts.

Toronto Star links on the profiles of the muslim terrorists nabbed in Canada...thought you'd all find it interesting.

...all seemed to "keep to themselves", in their neighborhoods.

Occupation of one suspect - school bus driver, and another one who was a computer programmer with a father who was employed by Atomic Energy of Canada

"Lots of young Muslims these days are getting more religious, especially after 9/11," said one neighbour. "It's nothing to be suspicious about."

Sorry we bothered you...please go back to sleep.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Get them out of here...

A small group of terrorists can do a lot of damage, just think about having 1200 running amok. I will refrain from giving the Brits any advice on how to deal with this since our own government probably wouldn´t do any better.

[Beckwith]

1,200 ... That's 100 Special Forces A Teams.

Now, I'm not suggesting their 1,200 are the equivalent of 100 SF Teams.

What I'm suggesting is that 100 twelve-man teams, ready to meet Allah, could make for a very, very bad day.

[milford421]

"A small group of terrorists can do a lot of damage, just think about having 1200 running amok."

Yep, I'm thinking of a small group, say composed of 19,who caused the deaths of over 3,000...after doing the math, I'd tend to agree with you.

[thoughtomator]

There are a lot more than 1200 Muslims in the UK, and prudence dictates that every one be considered a potential terrorist.

My b-i-l made the comment that it's interesting that when your Christian neighbors go on retreat and get full of the Lord, you don't have to worry about them coming home and blowing something up.

I would take these numbers with a grain of salt. In any case, the real long-term danger to Britain isn't Muslims who step on a bus with a bomb, it's Muslims who step into a voting booth with a ballot. It's the cultural and political changes brought to you by the same government that wants credit for protecting you against terrorists that they brought to Britain in the first place.

Multi-culturalism is a new word, much bandied about these days by opinion-formers in the political and business elites. It is not really about cultural diversity, still less land rights, and least of all individual freedom. Rather, it is a form of social engineering that seeks to level down and standardize all cultures, trampling on regional and ethnic loyalties which are not determined by market or state.

"In any case, the real long-term danger to Britain isn't Muslims who step on a bus with a bomb, it's Muslims who step into a voting booth with a ballot."

Same premise applies in all Western societies.

Excellent point.

Quite correct.
