London is an international center of Islamist jihad and terror. Groups rigorously controlled or banned outright in Muslim countries for instance the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, al-Qaeda, and Hizb ut-Tahrir operate there with impunity, raising funds, putting out expensive publications, recruiting and training in bases of their own, and even mounting demonstrations threatening large-scale assaults against the British people. British-born Muslims have turned into human bombs or committed other atrocities in a dozen countries, and in July 2005 in London itself, killing over 50 people and injuring hundreds more. Feebleness in the face of this gathering onslaught has endangered national identity, and is further undermining the will of other democracies to defend themselves. Jocular as it may sound, the term Londonistan describes an alarming reality.
How could things have come to such a pass in the country once proud to be known as the Mother of the Free, and whose abiding symbol is the bulldog? The question has huge implications for the future, and Melanie Phillips examines it from all angles in clear and uncompromising prose, complete with documentation. A well-known columnist in London, she is distinguished from the usual run of media personalities by still being capable of separating right from wrong. Conditioned by this moral outlook, her Londonistan is a frontal attack on the liberal pieties steadily destroying the nation. To her, the national culture has been taken ill, and the result is that the British are not as they once were. ............. Undoubtedly the shrewdest move of the Islamists has been to hide behind the 2 million or so Muslims now in Britain, whom they imagine to be the future mass-fodder for the cause of jihad.

We love those Islamists to bits... any old Islamic terrorist can come here - tell the judge he will be tortured back home and he can stay forever at Her Majesties expense irrespective of why they might want to torture him. We encourage them to find useful employment - usually at Heathrow.

The Muslims had good teachers in the Democrats who have paraded a pile of victims out in front of the press these past years. I wonder how it feels to be a role model for a bunch of murderers.
