Muslim terrorists released a video of their mass execution of Christians, Egypt responded with jet fighters carrying bombs, the pope condemned the destruction of life and President Obama went golfing.
I
t's called priorities. Those golf balls don't hit themselves, you know.
That's even though the ISIS killers, in their video release of details of their beheading of 21 Coptic Christians dressed in orange prison jumpsuits, referenced the language Obama used just a week ago in his remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast.
The ISIS killers described their victims as "crusaders" after Obama took a jab at Christians when he said: "Unless we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. And in our home country, slavery, and Jim Crow, all too often was justified in the name of Christ."
Christian Crusades: 16 offensive battles over 180 years against the muslim occupying hordes (A.D. 1080-1260).
Muslim Jihad: 548+ offensive battles over 1,300 years against the whole civilized world (A.D. 620-1920).
Our Lord Jesus Christ: "If your right hand offend thee, cut it off."
Obama's prayer-breakfast remarks drew a rebuke from Christian evangelist Franklin Graham, who reminded the president that Jesus Christ came to earth to die for the guilty, while Islam's Muhammad killed the "innocent."
The Weekly Standard quoted Middle East scholar Bassam Tawil, "Does Obama really want his legacy to be, 'The president who was an even bigger fool than Neville Chamberlain?'"
Yeah, but the latter never won the Nobel PeaCe Prize. So there!
The commentary by Tom Gross referred to the synagogue shooting in Copenhagen over the weekend and accused the Obama team of a "willful lack of understanding about the nature of Islamism, about anti-Semitism, and about the intentions of the Islamic revolutionary government in Iran."
"They seem more interested in disparaging the prime minister of America's ally Israel than in preventing the regime in Tehran going nuclear — a regime which has already de facto taken control of large swathes of Iraq, Yemen, Syria and Lebanon."
The Dhimmedia-approved, PC form of the second country's name is the Model-of-Success Yemen. Don't be disrespectful.
Fox News commentator Charles Krauthammer wrote, "Obama's reaction to, shall we say, turmoil abroad has been one of alarming lassitude and passivity."
He cited the death of American hostage Kayla Mueller, the evacuation of the U.S. embassy in Yemen and warnings from Obama's own appointees.
"And America watches," he wrote. "Obama calls the policy 'strategic patience.' That's a synonym for 'inaction,' made to sound profoundly 'strategic.'
"Such on-the-ground appeasement goes well with the linguistic appeasement whereby Obama dares not call radical Islam by name. And whereby both the White House and State Department spend much of a day insisting that the attack on the kosher grocery in Paris had nothing to do with Jews. It was just, as the president said, someone 'randomly shoot(ing) a bunch of folks in a deli,'" Krauthammer said.
Well, I guess we could say another random muslim randomly shooting a random bunch of Jews. But isn't that becoming monotonous?
“You won't [release the Benghazi Massacre video] because it will show that our leaders knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that we were under attack — not by some angry mob over some obscure video but by a coordinated fighting force with a specific mission and sufficient command and control to destroy our facility and kill our people in Benghazi.
“At SOS [Special Operations Speaks], we are former Special Operations soldiers. We know how these fights begin … and end. We know that in combat men are isolated from their support, and sometimes lost. We have never, though, witnessed the willful withholding of support from American soldiers in mortal danger. We have never seen a commander-in-chief wander from his command post, go to bed and then casually fly away the next day to tend to his campaign ambitions. These actions were cowardly and selfish, NOT the actions of an honorable American president.
“We're never going to let this issue go. . . Barack Obama is our President [sic]. Hillary Clinton wants to be [that's even sicker]. They both are unfit — by virtue of their actions on this night alone — to lead our troops. When the red phone rang, no one answered. We are going to make this egregious and shameful violation of the American warrior ethos public until those responsible are brought to justice!”
The Air Force censored a video created by a chaplain because it includes the word "God." The Air Force feared the word might offend Muslims and atheists.
A service member received a "severe and possibly career-ending reprimand" for expressing his faith's religious position about homosexuality in a personal religious blog.
An enlisted service member received a career-ending punishment for sending personal invitations to his promotion party that mentioned that he would be providing Chick-fil-A sandwiches due to his respect for the Defense of Marriage Act.
A senior military official at Fort Campbell sent out a lengthy email officially instructing officers to recognize "the religious right in America" as a "domestic hate group" akin to the KKK and Neo-Nazis because of its opposition to homosexual behavior.
A chaplain was relieved of his command over a military chapel because, consistent with DOMA's definition of marriage, he could not allow same-sex weddings to take place in the chapel.
An enlisted service member was threatened and denied promotion by a senior NCO for expressing — during a personal conversation — his religious belief in support of traditional marriage.
But since Christians aren't responsible for 99.9999… percent of all deadly terrorist attacks on American soil during his term, ØTyrant's muslim-appeasing regime — not to mention devoted co-fascists — continues to hold all of them enemies in war and to put everybody it knows or feels is one squarely in its crosshairs.
Once again, liberals owe every conservative and "privileged" white person a profuse and eternal apology.
G
o to hell, liberals. Damn you for praying to whatever soulless, demon cult-spirit "god" you blindly and fanatically worship, that the Boston Marathon bomber would be one of your political "enemies" — conservative, "government-hating" taxpayer, "bible-thumping" Christian, "right-wing extremist," or whoever else isn't "one of us."
As it turns out, it was one of your own protected classes — your friends — that once more is behind another terrorist attack targeting any and all Americans.
You always say you want to Save Teh Planet™. Well, how about starting here? These cruel, heartless beasts are the ones who hate and are doing everything yes they can to wipe completely off its face everyone living on it who doesn't fully and unquestioningly support their political views. Sound familiar? It should. You know deep in your cold, dead "hearts" that you would be doing the exact same things were no one who truly loves this country out here standing in your way and keeping you truly intolerant extremists from ultimately unleashing your own massacres that you wet-dream of unleashing against all conservatives, "government-hating" taxpayers, "bible-thumping" Christians, "right-wing extremists," etc., etc.
If nazi cultists followers kept bombing and killing us, you wouldn't be saying, "Well, we can't condemn all Nazis for the actions of a very, very small number of them. The vast majority of Nazis are peaceful, patriotic residents whom you intolerant, bigoted right-wingnut teabaggers shouldn't be painting with some racist, anti-multicultural Broad Brush®." Come on. You know you wouldn't be saying that about nazis. Then why are you saying those very things about these undisputed heirs of The Nazi Way?
It's absolutely clear why you are: You're all cowards. Conservatives, "government-hating" taxpayers, "bible-thumping" Christians, "right-wing extremists," etc., etc., aren't known for going around indiscriminately bombing and killing children and other innocent people. So, yes, you can broadly and lyingly ridicule and mock them mercilessly without having to incur any consequential threat to your own personal safety. But try that with an islamonazi, and there's a good chance you'll wind up brutally beheaded for "insulting islam." Hell, they teach their children it's morally okay to do just that.
Cowardly liberals and murderous muslims. Wet moist water or burning fire, anyone? Both lead to the same final, end, resulting result:
Death and destruction to us and our free and cherished way of life.
ad South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone put together an episode that, instead of depicting mohamhead and his minions, featured Jon Stewart kidnapping and gleefully beheading George Bush before brutally raping Sarah Palin, they never would've been forced to write this:
In the 14 years we've been doing South Park we have never done a show that we couldn't stand behind. We delivered our version of the show to Comedy Central and they made a determination to alter the episode. It wasn't some meta-joke on our part. Comedy Central added the bleeps. In fact, Kyle's customary final speech was about intimidation and fear. It didn't mention Muhammad at all but it got bleeped too.
ehead Those Who Insult Islam." The official motto of the Religion of "Peace." If by "peace," you mean viscously slaughter everyone who disagrees with you until there's no on left on the planet who is able or willing to disagree with you. In which sense, there finally is peace — for you, that is.
Cowardly muslim terrorists(birm) targeting and butchering innocent, unarmed civilians.
Nor is the fact that liberals are placing all the blame for that butchering — all committed in the name of liberals' Most Favored Religion™ — on someone other than any of the actual butchers.
An attention-craving preacher burns a Qur'an Book of Hate™. Followers of this Book of Hate go out and cold-bloodedly murder anyone they can get their hands knuckle-dragged claws on. Attention-craving preacher's point ably, amply, and incontrovertibly proved: islam is not, by any rational standard, a "religion of peace." Liberals crawling out from under their respective rocks to defend such "religion" against "intolerance," "violent rhetoric," and "phobia" is an ironic bonus.
Except there are better ways to insult a "religion" so thoroughly deserving of every insult that everyone who is willing and able to see it for the murderously dangerous cult and worldwide, malignant cancer it futilely pretends it isn't, and to heap on it all the insults it has earned and should entirely receive, can imagine.
The next time murderous muslims(birm), in the name of their "religion" primitive moongod prejudices and deadly intolerance, attack and kill another large group of innocent people, we "insult" their "religion" by doing a bit of landscaping. In Mecca. A hundred megatons of it, to be precise.
With that "religion" dead and all its former followers either scattered or beaten, islam will, for once in its overly long, misery-spreading existence, truly be the vehicle — after it's totally burned out and hydraulically crushed, of course — upon which the world achieves a real and lasting peace.
A top adviser to President [sic] Obama is the contact person within the White House for communications with the [Hamas-supporting] Free Gaza Movement over plans to challenge Israel's blockade of the terrorist Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, according to a reputable source close to the Netanyahu government.
The source, a career official whose reliability was established through his tips for the book, "Why Israel Can't Wait," identified John O. Brennan, deputy national security adviser for homeland security and counterterrorism, as the contact....
Brennan's activities in his "counterterrorism" work have involved him in situations with domestic groups known to have ties to Middle East terrorism.
WND previously has reported that Brennan participated in a meeting with Muslim law students, facilitated by the Islamic Society of North America, a group that was named an unindicted co-conspirator in a case where the founders of the Holy Land Foundation of Texas were given life sentences "for funneling $12 million" to Hamas, the group currently in political control of Gaza.
WND further reported that at a meeting with Muslim law students at New York University, Brennan declared himself a "citizen of the world"....
Obama's Chicago radical pals at center of Free Gaza Movement
WND previously reported that Weather Underground terrorists William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, as well as Jodie Evans, the leader of the radical activist organization Code Pink, were top supporters of the Free Gaza Movement, a coalition of leftist U.S. activists and pro-Palestinian groups that organized the six-ship flotilla that attempted to run the Israeli blockade of Gaza.
Obama began his political career in Chicago at a 1995 fundraiser held in the Chicago apartment of Ayers and Dohrn....
Benedict Øbarnold's betrayal of our country and us continues unabated.
Students at a Texas college are demanding that their diplomas not be dated "in the year of Our Lord," prompting school officials to consider removing that phrase while leaving what others consider another obvious reference to Christendom — the school's name, Trinity University....
The debate began in the fall when some students noticed the wording and said it was intolerant of students with non-Christian religious beliefs.
Senior Sidra Qureshi, a Muslim student and president of Trinity Diversity Connection, started a petition that requested that students have the option of having the words removed from their diplomas.
Isaac Medina, a senior who graduated in December, told the San Antonio Express-News in March that he felt like "a victim of bait and switch" because he had applied to the university under the impression that it maintained only a historical bond to the Presbyterian Church.
"A diploma is a very personal item, and people want to proudly display it in their offices and homes," Miss Qureshi told the Express-News. "By having the phrase 'In the year of Our Lord,' it is directlyreferencingJesus Christ, and not everyone believes in Jesus Christ."

N
o need to question whether "Present"fascist B. Hussein Øbamuslim will faithfully protect the citizens of the United States. It's become painfully clear that he won't:
All of [University of South Florida professor Sami] Al-Arian's defenders had egg on their faces when Al-Arian pled guilty to charges involving his acting as a leader of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a deadly terrorist group that has employed suicide bombings and other terror tactics to murder over one hundred Israelis.
And among the egged faces was Rashad Hussain[, Øbamuslim's appointed special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC)], apparently. [Journalist Patrick Goodenough of CNS News] reports that Hussain's remarks defending Al-Arian appeared in the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs in 2004. But now the Washington Report's website carries a version of this article from the passage referring to Rashad Hussain has been removed. Nothing else in the article has been changed.
Was this bowdlerization done by someone at the Washington Report acting on his own discretion, or is the ObamaØbamuslim camp involved? Is someone in the [mal-]Administration aware of the political fallout that could result from the news that ObamaØbamuslim is sending a man who spoke up on behalf of a convicted jihad terrorist as his envoy to the leading Muslim organization in the world? Did they perform or ask to be performed a bit of Ørwellian image enhancement on Rashad Hussain?

"Brilliant! Yes we can! Change we need!" were, in fact, this terrorist enemy's exact words.
As unsurprising as high-ranking terrorist enemies of the U.S. supporting the way Demøfascists are terrorizing citizens with threats of jail time is, even more unsurprising is how completely top al-Qaeda, Demøfascist, and other terrorist leaders are united in their support of al-Qbama purposefully exposing our domestic juries and courts to barbaric mass-murdering butchers who'll stop at nothing to disrupt and destroy America's symbols of justice, too.

Cowardly liberals.
Which is the same as saying airy air or watery water or fiery fire or rocky rock.
No doubt, if the TEA Party attendees all converted to pigslum islam, liberals would say they're "victims" and declare calling them those vile, nasty names a crime against humanity.
Even if dozens of the more violent ones massacre thousands, liberals would blame it all on our lack of "tolerance and understanding" and chastise us for failing to redress the TEA Partiers' "legitimate grievances."
Of course, were each of these "misunderstood" butchers not already a U.S. citizen, liberals would be doing everything they can to make sure he receives the same constitutional rights as one — if not full citizenship itself.
The only thing the TEA Party folks would have to do is yell how much they hate America for "all the evils it's done throughout the world" as loudly as liberals yell it.

B
e prepared for some Tough Questions™, Mr. Tyrant of Iran. The liberals at Columbia have promised to grill you on your islamaniacal "republic's" repression of women, hanging of homosexuals, support of terrorism, and production of nuclear weapons.
Columbia Usefulidiotsy's Liberal #1: President [Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad, is it true that it's George Bush's fault that your country has been acting the way it has these past few years?
Islamofascist Repressors of Iran's Tyrant (translated): I'm glad you asked that. I can see that I'm addressing a reasonable and very informed audience. In answer to your question, yes, it has been the president of your country who has been causing us to do what we feel we have to, to respond to his merciless threats against my peaceful country.
CU's Liberal #2: Mr. President, as president of a country that has been under constant threat of attack by a warmongering U.S. president, do you feel that we here in this country should do more to protest the numerous violations of International Law[®] perpetrated by George Bush and his outlaw regime?
IROI's Tyrant: Thank you for your very insightful question. It is, of course, obvious that our peaceful country has done nothing to cause the leader of your country to terrorize the people of Iran as he has. We want nothing but peace and to resolve all conflicts, and all he wants to do is wage war and kill hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in his quest to conquer our Islamic nation so he can gain control over our oil supplies. But I would hope that the more reasonable people of your country — like all of you here — would rise up and demand that he stop destroying the peace my country has been working so hard to build in our lands. So, yes, I support your desire to protest what he is doing.
CU's Liberal #3: Welcome to Columbia University, President Ahmadinejad. We feel we need to hear from all sides on every issue because we feel that's what leads to mutual understanding and respect, especially in the area of foreign relations. Do you share this feeling?
IROI's Tyrant: Yes. I most certainly do. That's why my country's government has been negotiating in good faith with other countries to resolve any misunderstandings they might have over our peaceful development of alternative energy supplies, such as nuclear electricity. Your own country is trying to move away from its reliance on so-called fossil fuel sources of energy and develop more sustainable ones. That's what we've been trying to do as well; and we feel our country has as much right to do that as yours does.
CU's Liberal #4: Mr. Ahmadinejad, I heard your speech at the United Nations and was most impressed by your call for peace in the Middle East and throughout the entire world. Do you feel that George Bush owes you and the people of Iran an apology for making it less possible for such a peace to occur?
IROI's Tyrant: That is the main reason I accepted your kind invitation to explore and exchange ideas between this exceptionally intelligent student body and myself. I want to raise awareness among all your people about my country's struggle to help the whole world become a more peaceful place for everyone. That way you students can have a better chance to continue your studies without having to live in a constant state of fear that your leaders will plunge your country into another endless war against peoples of different religious beliefs, which only spreads intolerance and mistrust between nations. I want you and all your citizens to know that our Islamic nation wants to be your country's friend and partner in this endeavor, but cannot be so long as you have a government led by people who are intolerant of other religions and who want to destroy everyone's chance of having real peace.
CU's Liberal #5: Thank you, Mr. President, for accepting our invitation to participate in this open forum. Since you feel that our leaders have failed to let you and your country live in peace, do you have any preference of whom you'd like to see lead our country after the next election here? That is, who do you feel will be the one most likely to let you live in peace if she, or maybe he, were elected president of our country?
IROI's Tyrant: I thank you for your question. Normally I am reluctant to impose my opinions on anyone regarding their votes in any election. But in this case I feel I am obligated to express them, not just for my country's sake but for the sake of an entire world that only wants true peace. That's why I can say, without any reservations, that my country's government would be very pleased to see your former First Lady elected president. My good friend, the president of Cuba, wisely says that she and your Barack Obama would make a "seemingly invincible ticket." I agree with President Castro on this and would endorse such a ticket. I know my government could work with her to build a more peaceful relationship between our two countries.
Britain has one of the largest Muslim communities in Western Europe, estimated to be between 1.5 and 2 million people, with over 1,000 mosques and prayer centres.
Britons seem to have given up on assimilating their Muslim population, with many British elites patting themselves on the back for their tolerance and multiculturalism. Meanwhile, an increasing number of Muslim youth in Great Britain grow more alienated and hostile to their adopted country. Obviously there is a big leap from wearing the jilbab to blowing up trains, but it would be naive not to recognize that a fanatical brand of Islam — unchallenged and unchecked — is at the root of both.
"Awright me old fruit, let's gi' it a good shoeing an' scarper to where they came from, be lairy an' punter a few snouts, an' see how long till the ol' boys gi' us a posh Chelsea smile."
Counterterrorism officials estimate that 10,000 to 15,000 Muslims living in Britain are supporters of Al Qaeda. Among that number, officials believe that as many as 600 men were trained in camps connected with Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and elsewhere.
British investigators say that identifying Islamic militants among the two million Muslims living here, about 4 percent of the population, is especially hard. The Muslim community here is the most diverse of any in Europe in terms of ethnic origins, culture, history, language, politics and class. More than 60 percent of the community comes not from North African or Gulf Arab countries, but from countries like Pakistan, India and Bangladesh.
"Oi, John, fancy a few jars after work? Oh, smeg, I forgot."
Muhammad is now second only to Jack as the most popular name for baby boys in Britain and is likely to rise to No 1 by next year, a study by The Times has found....
"When you get to the UK, it is essentially about translating the sound of the Arabic into English. A nonArab Muslim would have the name ending in -ed while an Arab Muslim would adopt the -ad ending."
Overall, Muslims account for 3 per cent of the British population, about 1.5 million people. However, the Muslim birthrate is roughly three times higher than the nonMuslim one.
Statistics from the ONS [Office for National Statistics] show that Muslim households are larger than those headed by someone of another religion. In 2001, the average size of a Muslim household was 3.8 people while a third contained more than five people.
Around two fifths of Muslims (38 per cent) lived in London. After London, the regions with the next biggest share of the Muslim population were the West Midlands (14 per cent), the North West (13 per cent), and Yorkshire and the Humber (12 per cent). Even within these regions, Muslims were highly concentrated spatially. Muslims made up 8 per cent of London's population overall but 36 per cent of the Tower Hamlets and 24 per cent of the Newham populations....
Christians were spread across Britain. London had the lowest proportion of Christians — only 58 per cent of the London population described themselves in this way. People in the North East and the North West were the most likely to describe themselves as Christian with four fifths of people in each of these regions doing so (80 per cent and 78 per cent respectively). People in these regions were the least likely to say they had no religion.
Fifteen per cent of people in Great Britain (8.6 million people) said they had no religion, according to the 2001 Census. Seventy-two per cent of people (41 million) identified themselves as Christian, making it the largest religious group. Muslims were the second largest religious group (1.6 million) and the information provided by them shows a young, tightly clustered, and often disadvantaged, community.
Muslims were the largest religious group after Christians. There were 1.6 million Muslims living in Britain in 2001. This group comprised 3 per cent of the total population and over half (52 per cent) of the non-Christian religious population....
Just under half (46 per cent) of Muslims living in Great Britain in 2001 had been born in the UK while 39 per cent had been born in Asia — mainly Pakistan (18 per cent), Bangladesh (9 per cent) and India (3 per cent). A further one in ten Muslims (9 per cent) had been born in Africa, including Somalia (2 per cent) and Kenya (1 per cent). Four per cent of Muslims were from parts of Europe outside the UK, including Turkey (3 per cent) and the Former Yugoslavian countries (1 per cent).
In every religious group the majority of adults aged 16 and over in Great Britain described their national identity as either British, English, Scottish or Welsh. 65 per cent of Muslims gave one of these British identities....
Unemployment rates for Muslims are higher than those for people from any other religion, for both men and women.
In 2003-2004, Muslims had the highest male unemployment rate in Great Britain at 14 per cent.
Among women, Muslims again had the highest unemployment rate, at 15 per cent.
Muslims aged 16 to 24 years had the highest unemployment rates of all.
Unemployment rates for older Muslims were lower, but Muslims aged 25 to 34 years were more than three times as likely as to be unemployed (14 per cent).
Police have agreed to consult a panel of Muslim leaders before mounting counter-terrorist raids or arrests. Members of the panel will offer their assessment of whether information police have on a suspect is too flimsy and will also consider the consequences on community relations of a raid.
Members will be security vetted and will have to promise not to reveal any intelligence they are shown. They will not have to sign the Official Secrets Act.
The Muslim holy month of Ramadan will coincide with the 2012 London Olympics, a scheduling conflict that is creating controversy in Britain, the Daily Mail reported on its website Saturday....
Ramadan will fall from July 21 to August 20 in 2012, while the London Games run between July 27 and August 12.
Joanna Manning Cooper, spokeswoman for London 2012, said the committee is still confident that something can be worked out.
"We did know about it when we submitted our bid and we have always believed we could find ways to accommodate it," she said. "We are working with the Muslim Council of Great Britain to find ways to accommodate Ramadan during the London Games."
"Mr. Bean, you shan't always have Mummy around to wash your prayer rug for you. Better start learning to do it yourself."
[U.K. newspaper] Here Time Out argues that an Islamic London would be a better place....
At the end of World War I the city sat at the heart of an Empire that had 160 million Muslim subjects, 80 million in India alone. London was the largest Islamic capital in the world. Forty years later and the end of the Empire, unrest and war and poverty in south Asia had lead to mass immigration to the mother country and London became a Muslim capital in another sense.
According to the 2001 census there are 607,083 Muslims living in London (310,477 men and 296,606 women). The majority of Muslims live in the east of the city and, by 2012, the Muslim Council of Britain estimates that the Muslim population of Tower Hamlets, Newham, Waltham Forest and Hackney will be 250,000. There are plans afoot (though no formal application has yet been submitted) to build the UKs biggest mosque — capable of welcoming 40,000 worshippers — near the 2012 Olympic site, a move which has prompted predictable outrage from some quarters. Consequently, Muslim disillionment [sic] with a reactionary and often ill-informed press is at an all time high.
"I say, ol' chap, that's a shed-load of belt acing your clobber."
YouGov['s survey for The Daily Telegraph] sought to gauge the character of the Muslim community's response to the events of July 7[, 2005]. As the figures in the chart show, 88 per cent of British Muslims clearly have no intention of trying to justify the bus and Tube murders.
However, six per cent insist that the bombings were, on the contrary, fully justified.
Six per cent may seem a small proportion but in absolute numbers it amounts to about 100,000 individuals who, if not prepared to carry out terrorist acts, are ready to support those who do.
Moreover, the proportion of YouGov's respondents who, while not condoning the London attacks, have some sympathy with the feelings and motives of those who carried them out is considerably larger — 24 per cent.
"Any swots know 'is one? 'A southbound train travelling 30 kilometers per hour passes over a bridge. One hour later a second southbound train travelling 60 kilometers per hour passes over the same bridge. How much longer before the second train catches up with the first?'"
33.8[%] of Muslims [in the U.K.] are aged 0-15 years (national average is 20.2%); 18.2% are aged 16-24 (national average is 10.9%).
"Does that big girl's blouse want to make us brown bread?"
The point that most of all interested me, however, in reading Young Muslims and Extremism[link] is where it draws on MI5 information to make this astonishing statement:
Intelligence indicates that the number of British Muslims actively engaged in terrorist activity, whether at home or abroad or supporting such activity, is extremely small and estimated at less than 1% (pdf 2, p. 9).
If one accepts the report's estimate (pdf 2, p. 5) that the Muslim population of Great Britain numbers 1.6 million, then up to 16,000 "British Muslims actively engaged in terrorist activity."
"Extremely small"? Excuse me, but that number strikes me as an extremely large.
That the British authorities do not recognize that they should worry about thousands of terrorists in their midst is reason to worry what planet they inhabit. Their waffling, myopia, and general incompetence make one despair for their country.
July 3, 2006 update:The Independent's Jason Bennetto reveals that law enforcement estimates Al-Qaeda's sympathizers in Britain to number 8,000: "Of the estimated 1.6 million Muslims living in Britain, counter-terrorist sources have disclosed that they believe up to 0.5 per cent — about 8,000 — support al-Qa'ida's aims, and have links to Islamist extremists." A huge covert inquiry, known as project Rich Picture, is watching them.
British police have a "crystal clear" picture of the man who drove the bomb-rigged silver Mercedes outside a London nightclub, and officials tell the Blotter on ABCNews.com he bears "a close resemblance" to a man arrested by police in connection with another bomb plot but released for lack of evidence.
Officials say the suspect had been taken into custody in connection with the case of al Qaeda operative Dhiren Barot (pictured), who was convicted of orchestrating a vehicle bomb plot involving targets in London, New York, Newark, N.J. and Washington, D.C.
Officials say a surveillance camera caught the suspect "staggering from the Mercedes" shortly after parking it outside the Tiger Tiger nightclub.
U.S. and British law enforcement officials tell ABC News it is increasingly clear Friday's bomb plot in London involves multiple vehicles, and is described by a senior official as a "terror plot involving lslamic extremists."
