...background info. See the roots of the stories in the English press (including the Times and the Telegraph), which often runs stories of "Palestinian" victimology.

The UK might be at a turning point in its one-sided information presented in texts and media. Which way will it go?

The question is: Will America follow in Britain's footsteps? Not if Christians make it clear what the war against Islamic extremism is all about.

Not just Christians.

My family and I are atheists who subscribe to Christian values by choice. We know EXACTLY what the war against Islamic extremism is all about.

My own son is shipping out August 2 for Ranger training with the US Army, and eventual service in killing the enemy wherever he might hide. I raised him to be good to friends, loving to family, and to give absolutely no quarter to enemies.

re :If they really are asking whether such an attack could happen again, there's a new book they ought to read. It is titled Londonistan, by British journalist Melanie Phillips. It is Phillips's response to what she calls Britain's state of denial regarding the threat posed to the nation by radical Islam.

This book is old hat and events have moved past it.

Two points

1) Muslims comprise 3% of the total population is no where near the taking over and Izlamication of Britain.

Total population: 58.8 million

Muslim population: 1.6 million (2.8%)

2) Why did the authorities not act sooner: Different priorities, until quite recently the majority of Britain’s anti terrorist intelligence gathering were aimed at North Ireland.

These included monitoring and fighting the : IRA

INLA

UVF

UFF.

And smaller cowboy units

MI5, Special Branch and other domestic intelligence agencies also had other priorities as well as the troubles in North Ireland.

This included surveillance of foreign hostile intelligence agencies

Domestic terrorists groups such as the Animal Rights Front, CND, and a lot of resources were also diverted to fight the renewed War on Drugs, requested by President Bush prior to Sept 11th. Other organised crime, organised crime has gone global.

With Sept 11th priorities changed, but it didn’t happen over night, why. Well Surveillance assets had to be recruited , a surveillance or undercover operative who worked in the Irish sphere would not pass muster in mosque.

Intelligence analysts a new orbat has to be drawn up, new faces identified, and retraining of what is and what is not important.

Now that the intelligence system is underway in both Britain and European countries arrests have been made and networks rolled up.

This is an ongoing war and both sides are learning evolving and adapting, but at the moment we have the upper hand.
