LONDON, Sept. 2 (UPI) -- A top British police official warns in a new documentary that supporters of terrorist plots in the United Kingdom could number into the thousands.
London Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clark said that while exact numbers were difficult to pin down, there was a broad base of support for terrorist attacks in Britain ranging from actual conspirators to those urging them on.
The Mirror quoted Clark as saying, "All I can say is that our knowledge is increasing and certainly, in terms of broad description, the numbers of people we have to be interested in are in the thousands."
The BBC2 documentary "Al Qaeda - Time to Talk" concludes that threats exist both within the homegrown British Muslim community and immigrants from other Muslim nations. It also contends that British Muslims have been joining terrorist groups in Iraq.
The program will air in Britain Sunday night.
END.
Would like to watch this show.
This is GREAT!! Just wait until the networks air this..oh wait...
Now if only we could get some attention on the terrorists among us in this country.
Slowly, but surely, our leaders are beginning to see the truth about real islam.
Thousands? I bet it is higher than that. I'll wager that tacit support extends deep into the Muslim population living off Britain.
They know, just pap for the masses. It's a shame for Britain; they have a worse problem than we do not counting 9/11. The place is crawling with Muslims, and they're not just confined to London. They have helped us out and look what they are going to have to deal with.
They will never send them all back which is what they ought to do because they will never be safe from plots by them, and it is too hard to separate the sheep from the goats because deep down, they are all sympathizers to one degree or another.
How can they ever mainstream these people and know who can be trusted. Ans: ________.

With 1.6M Muslims in the UK, I'm sure he's off by about three (3) zeros.
thousands?
UK did a poll after the subway bombings that said 1/3 of all muslims living there wanted Sharia law.
Is this not a compelling reason for more stringent immigration policies?
Why would a country continue to welcome large numbers of people from a culture that is largely inimical to its own?
