Britain Only Now Sees It's Harbored Terrorist Cells - (entirely new era just dawned in England)

Britain is in shock. Not just from the traumatic and grudging realization last Thursday that the country is at war, but from the discovery that the attack on London was the work of four suicide bombers, all of them young British Muslims. Readers of this column will not have been surprised by this realization, but it is only just dawning on the great British public that it has unwittingly harbored a terrorist cell in its midst, and that more "sleepers" may emerge to destroy us at any moment.

The uncanny dread that this knowledge engenders cannot be allayed by assurances from the authorities or from Muslim leaders that the attack on London had nothing to do with Islam. Such rhetoric has a hollow ring, now that we know the identities of the terrorists.

For these were ordinary young Muslims, born in Yorkshire to families who migrated from Pakistan. One family ran a fish-and-chip take-away, another a grocery. Their fathers were pillars of the Leeds Muslim community. Yet these respectable families were incubating monsters who set off with backpacks full of explosives to kill and maim as many of their fellow countrymen as possible.

One of the suicide bombers, Hasib Hussain, aged 18, had recently returned from a pilgrimage to Mecca, having become a devout Muslim two years ago and grown a beard. According to friends," he never came across as any sort of fanatic." Shahzad Tanweer, 22, was a cricketer, who apparently told friends that he disapproved of the attacks on America of September 11, 2001. A third bomber, Mohammed Sidique Khan, was married and had become a father eight months ago. A fourth man, whose remains are still being identified in the grisly forensic operation in the subway deep below King's Cross station, probably came from a similar background.

"As long as the visible face of the Islamist threat in Britain was the one-eyed, hook-handed imam of Finsbury Park mosque, Abu Hamza, whom American authorities have accused of setting up a terrorist training camp in Oregon, the public could at least feel that they knew their enemy. The imam, who lived a few doors away from me in our quiet West London street until his arrest last year, looked and sounded like a demagogic fundamentalist. His trial on terrorism charges has only just begun, and it is a scandal that it took so many years to assemble a case against him, but he was too identifiable ever to blend into the crowd.

"That is not true of the Leeds suicide bombers."

"7/7 killers didn't look like Hamza"

Tick tock, tick tock...

There's absolutely nothing to worry about. Muslims are peaceful, loving, honest people who value diversity. And peace. Did I mention how peaceful they are?

After all, their religion, officially known as Islam, is sometimes called "The Religion of Peace." Hadn't you heard?

The peace of the grave.

Male Muslim teenagers are time bombs.. between 20 and 45 they can go off.. any of them..

[johnnyBbad]

England and much of Europe will be engulfed in war with its Muslims within 30 years.

Mark my word.

[US admirer]

Perhaps longer.

"......,who apparently told friends that he disapproved of the attacks on America of September 11, 2001."

"England and much of Europe will be engulfed in war with its Muslims within 30 years."

I'd say much sooner than that.......more like 10 to 12 years....and if they go about it in the best, most professional way, they will beat these termites.

During the 8th century many Muslims were libing in Europe and controlled a lot of the country. There is a Historical Record of the beheading of 40 some Christians for criticizing the Islamic religion. What has changed -- Now they are using explosives!

Those who fail to remember their History are doomed to repeat it. So now Europe will suffer again along with the rest of the world because of the Liberal Bleeding Hearts of Socialism.

If this continues and why wouldn't it with the PC crap all around the world. The People in positions of authority who spawned this unholy Socialist Lifestyle MUST answer to the People for these crimes and the lives that have been and will be lost.

Will this bring the Tories back to power?

It is hard to believe that none of their friends and relations suspected anything, but if they genuinely did not, then the implications are even more alarming.

Great, sobering point!!!

The result of this bad faith between the government and the governed is quite serious. Now that at last we know who and what we are up against, we are no longer sure that the authorities are on our side. The police protect Islam - I saw two constables standing guard outside the local mosque yesterday morning - but they are powerless to protect the rest of society against the Islamists. Exhorted to be vigilant, people fear accusations of Islamophobia if they voice their suspicions. It is so much easier to blame the Iraq war or the Americans or the Israelis than to face the horrific truth: that we now have a fifth column, nameless, faceless, and utterly ruthless, dedicated to transforming Britain into an Islamic republic.

This guy definitely gets it! Unfortunately most of Britain and especially the governing class doesn't.

What is amazing is that everytime something like this happens, instead of fighting back we kowtow further to the perpetrators.

The west has a bad case of the "battered wife syndrome".

Yet these respectable families were incubating monsters ...

Failure to address the problem in this exact context is proof of an attempt to deceive, as far as I'm concerned.

[texasbluebell]

Oh, for heaven's sake, it's TROP -- why is everyone so worked up?

Never mind the various spokesmen for this peaceful religion:

Anjem Choudray: "One day the black flag of Islam will be flying over Downing Street."

Boumedienne: "One day millions of men will leave the southern hemisphere to go to the northern hemisphere. And they will not go there as friends. Because they will go there to conquer it. And they will conquer it with their sons. The wombs of our women will give us victory."

Give it a rest. Go back to sleep, there's nothing to worry about.

And what's more, he was actually permitted to articulate it... somebody's gonna pay for that screw-up.
