There's a solid basis for that hope- look how public opinion about the German Nazis changed between 1937 and 1940.

"slam itself - not just fundamentalist groups - posed a threat to Western liberal democracy"

Well, I'd think that after the decades of involvement with colonial interests in the Middle East and elsewhere the Brits would have seen this a lot sooner. I guess most from those days are long gone. Muslims are supportive of Islam not the tyrants and so-called Kings who rule by way of their Mullah stooges who enforce Shariah Law to dominate the people. They have no loyalty to anything or anyone but to their 'Prophet'.

If they'd actually help root out the terrorists instead of whining everytime someone looks at them funny, it'd go a long way to making people feel less suspicious of them.

Great idea for the mooselimbs to become busy with and run toward the jihad islamists. Complacency by the moose will cause the rabbit to run circles around the moose. Basically the moose is heading toward the pin with the rabbit riding herd, if the moose hedges, the rabbit will bite. Note to moose....the rabbit will bite so hard you will lose your mooseyness, best keep heading toward the pin moose.

The starkest finding was that 53 per cent of people now agreed that Islam itself - not just fundamentalist groups - posed a threat

The Brits are finally waking up

Muslim Council of Britain spokesman Inayat Bunglawala said:".....Muslims need to help the police to pre-empt plots, and we all need to work to isolate the extremists."

Yes, indeed, and you had better work a hell of a lot harder than you have been doing, or you will soon all be ejected.

"They hate the West. Why are they here ?"

They are here to kill or convert all non Muslims. They are here to turn western nations into Muslim nations. They are here because the Koran commands them.

Perhaps it is true that you can't full all of the people all of the time.

Animal trainer shows up for 1st day of work carrying nothing but a baseball bat. His employer asks him why he brought a bat to work with him. The trainer says it is his most important training tool. Asked to explain how a baseball bat can be used to train animals the trainer said, "Well, the first thing that needs to be done in the training of an animal is to get their attention and a shot upside the head will do that in a hurry".

Baseball bat = Ragheads in Britain
Animals = British citizens

I wonder why people feel threatened. Could it be the buildings bombed? The throats slit? The heads placed on torsos? The sing-along head-chopping videos? The murder of Americans? Burning Americans. bodies? Dragging Americans' bodies through the streets? Hanging burnt American bodies from bridges and filming them? The threats? The subways bombed? The trains bombed? The elderly Jewish men in wheelchairs killed and thrown out of planes? The chanting of the deity's name while inflicting pain and death on non-believers? The attempts to blow up tunnels and bridges? The murder of innocents in a Jewish center? The calls for murder during sermons at mosques? Any of those things?

Before this is over I predict Islam will be outlawed. It is not a religion as much as it is a violent philosophy and army of death.

9/11, as the Brits would say, happened 'across the pond.' Now it has happened on their soil as well and they recognize the threat.

Will the political class listen to public opinion?
