..... to the threat posed by Islam.

The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) has seized lands in Syria and Iraq and in doing so has gained control of oil and mineral rights. Its stated aim is to create a Sunni Muslim empire, initially in the ME, and to then take on all infidels, Shia Muslims included.

It is reported that most of the insurgents who took Mosul were foreign fighters, with possibly 120 of them from the UK. We, along with others, have a potentially huge fifth column in our own back yard and it is time we did something about it.

They don't see do they. It is very very scarey.

The government may, at a push, admit that we have a potential problem. After the home grown suicide bombers of a few years ago they can scarcely deny it.

But do something about it? The security forces have kept us safe from attack in the years since four young men from West Yorkshire blew themselves and fifty odd others to bits, and well done for that. But can they keep on doing it with 100% success forever, I don't think so.

There will just be a lot of guff about "British values", "Engaging with our comyoooonities" etc etc ad infinitum.

The government don't know what to do, and that's a fact.

Plus lets be honest, there are a lot of Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan who might be using exactly the same arguments about Christians and the damage they have done in their countries.

The very first thing we should do is to try and improve our foreign policy, because it's been disgraceful for years.
