Clearly our biggest threats are farther afield than Britain.

However, I agree that there are some dangerous threats growing in the U.S., Canadian, British, etc. muslim communities.

Some people say the Israelis have brought the present violence on themselves by refusing to withdraw behind their original borders and by taking over Palestinian land in the West Bank. Do you think the Israelis have, to any extent, brought the present violence on themselves?

"Britain 'Is Now Biggest Security Threat To US' The Telegraph (UK)"

Oh spare me. The NY Times [MSM] and the Democrat Party are the biggest security threat to the US. They are doing their best to destroy us from within.

Sheesh!

25 posts and nobody comments on the fact that the cited Telegraph (UK) article references the far left wing rag "New Republic".

That's the astounding news, not the well know situation in the UK vis a vis muzzies.

The UK pales in insignificance when compared to Massachuttes or New York.

The leftists of the Blue Zone are far more dangerous than Asian Brits.
