UK terrorist threat level raised to 'severe', Theresa May says
BBC News ^ | 29 August 2014

The UK's terror threat level is being raised from "substantial" to "severe" in response to conflicts in Iraq and Syria, Home Secretary Theresa May says.

The new alert level means an attack on the UK is "highly likely", although Mrs May said there was no intelligence to suggest an attack was "imminent".

It is the second highest of five possible UK threat levels.

I’m sceptical that this will remain an air war without boots on the ground.

Odd.

Not a mention of Islam or Muslims in the entire article.

Does mention “extremists” though.

Are there any Brits saying they are Taxed Enough Already?

Just listened to David Cameron’s press conference. Wow. He sounds like a leader, like he understands the nature of the threat. He was vey specific about actions that Britain will take.

He makes Obama look like a fool.

Obama and Cameron both failed to deal with the ISIS problem for years and should have been more proactive. They waited until they were forced to do something. That’s not leadership.

There Will Be No Peace Until There Is No Islam.

Yet, our leaders believe that it is okay for Muslims to continue to immigrate to western countries.

When Muslims get strong enough, they become groups like the Taliban, ISIS and Boko Harum.

There are no moderate Muslims....they're just waiting.

We should close our borders for about 100 years and do some assimilating.

David Cameron just addressed the media minutes ago. More blabbing about how they must understand the plight of the Muslims and how it is only a few disgruntled youths causing trouble. More from the multicultural UK coming to the U.S.

Appeasement in the Face of Islamofascism

British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain returned to Heston Aerodrome near London in 1938 after meeting Adolf Hitler and enthusiastically waved the ‘Munich Agreement’ in the air, infamously stating that ‘peace for our time’ has been secured.

War was declared against Germany less than 12 months later, and Chamberlain’s decision to place trust in Hitler is viewed as a classic example of ‘appeasement’. Many would argue that the Munich Agreement was futile because war with Hitler’s Germany was inevitable, and yet more concessions would follow to keep peace. Others point out that without the benefit of hindsight, the last ditch attempt for peace, however small, had to be taken.

Winston Churchill was appointed war time Prime Minister in May 1940 and then demonstrated that British politicians were still willing to fight for other nations’ democracies and freedoms, as well as our own.

Whatever your opinion may be, Britain went onto fight Nazi Germany. Even after France fell, during the period of being all alone, Britain refused to surrender, and with the help of her allies, was eventually victorious. Traitors like William Joyce, whose involvement in the ‘Germany calling, Germany calling’ radio broadcasts, which carried threats and misinformation in English, were eventually hunted down and hanged for treason.

Islam: The Enemy Is Welcomed Inside the Gate

Modern day British society is multicultural, but immigration itself is not an issue if new arrivals are needed and then crucially, they assimilate and respect their new host culture. Rachel Molschky describes in the ‘Islam Hasn’t Changed: We Have’ article how Western politicians knew exactly that Islam is incompatible with our society based upon Judeo-Christian values because it is a supremacist and expansionist ideology.

So what were politicians thinking? After fighting to keep the Nazis from invading Britain, ‘Islamofascists’ were welcomed in! With good reason Europe had battled to keep Muslim hordes at bay for 1300 years, so this was the initial act of unnecessary treason.

Appeasers or Traitors?

The more Muslims misbehave, the more our leaders will show dhimmitude and absolve Islam; for example following the jihadist murder of Lee Rigby, Prime Minster David Cameron declared the killing was “a betrayal of Islam”. Cameron could perhaps plead ignorance, but his Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg misinformed the public by reading the ‘most peaceful verse’ Qur’an 5:32, which actually only prohibits killing Muslims unless for revenge, and gives a whole raft of Islamically ‘justified’ reasons for killing non-Muslims. If that is not enough then the following Verse 5:33 justifies killing in response to ‘causing mischief’. Surely Clegg cannot claim a lack of knowledge?

‘Incubator for terrorism’: UK leaders under pressure to take on jihadist problem

Fox News
August 26, 2014

“The Home Office touts its “Prevent strategy” as an example of the effort to combat British-based Islamic extremism. The strategy focuses on supporting community-based campaigns and activity to rebut terrorist propaganda, to warn about the dangers of traveling to Syria and Iraq, and to identify and support those vulnerable to radicalization.

Critics say such methods are woefully inadequate and that successive British governments have failed to deal more substantively with the specter of Islamic extremism that haunts the UK.”
