For UK Muslims, the fact that James Foleys executioner spoke with a London accent was a public relations disaster. It wasnt great for Britain, either, which is now routinely accused by Americans of harbouring an enemy within. Fusilier Lee Rigby was also beheaded by a guy with a London accent.

Hardening it’s heart? Coming to ones senses and facing a very real threat is a “hardening of the heart”?

Pew research in 2006 found that British Muslims were more hostile to western values than their German, French or Spanish counterparts. In the four countries, the mismatch between friendly attitudes towards Muslims and unfriendly attitudes towards the host society was greatest in the UK. That should make us uneasy.Yeah, I'd think so. Somebody who remains friendly with people who are his avowed enemies is an idiot, not a nice guy.

Pawkee-stahni is too specific, muslim is more generic.
Not all bearded barbarians are Pawkee-stahnis but all Pawkees are bearded barbarians.

When and if the UK decides to clean house on its Islamic threat by deporting them, it also needs to get rid of the Islamic enablers by sending them to the Islamic hellhole of their choice. All of the UK-born loons that give aid and comfort to the Muslim cancer have to go.

This author still doesn't get it...
In the years since the Pew survey, we have experienced chaotic immigration and been shocked to the core by the savagery of Islamists. Were not used to this. So far, most Muslims have weathered the storm by keeping their heads down and their eyes averted from western decadence. That strategy wont work for much longer. The lumping together of Rotherham and Isis may be malicious and misleading, and no one expects British Muslims to buy the argument that these atrocities are sanctified by the Koran. But they do need to bypass their useless community leaders and find better means of expressing their horror individually and collectively at crimes against humanity. In fact, in the current atmosphere, they have little choice: if they miss this opportunity, ordinary Britons will start listening to the hate-mongers.
ISIS is Islam. Period. And the "British muslims" don't "express their horror" because they approve of it. Period. They are one in the same. Inseparable.

Are there numbers of Pakistanis in UK who aren't Muslim? There are non-Pakistani Muslims in UK. The initial wave was mainly from the former British colony of India (which divided into India and Pakistan). Now UK gets immigrants for lots of Muslim countries.

The authorities were terrified that grooming would be seized upon by racists playing the Muslim card. British media is still trying to dance around the truth, I see.

Not yet it isn’t. Only 5% of England is Muslim.

In BNP leaflets, the adjective Pakistani was replaced by Muslim. In what way is this distinction relevant?Because the fact that they were Muslim is more telling than the fact that they were from Pakistan - because even if there are only precious few Pakistanis in the U.K. who aren't Muslim, it still deserves pointing out that aren't just "from another country," but "Muslim."
Imagine reading a report that a group of youths - "two Egyptians, one Sudanese, two Saudis, and three Indonesians" - had been arrested for carrying a bomb into an airport. And let's observe that they also had "religious leaflets" with them. According to your logic, it wouldn't be relevant to instead report that eight MUSLIMS had been attempting to smuggle a bomb into the airport (since virtually all citizens of those countries are Muslim), and that they had been carrying leaflets calling for a "worldwide djihad" (since that can almost be taken for granted, given the first item).

Some UK politician will say it’s discriminatory and veto anything against mussies.
