Britain is now harbouring a menacing enemy within

leading article, Daily Express, 11 March 2009


For British troops returning home after risking their lives in the cause of bringing democracy to Iraq and Afghanistan to face abuse from Islamic demonstrators in Luton is a sickening development.

The men of the Royal Anglian Regiment kept their cool in the face of demonstrators who branded them "cowards, killers and extremists". [...]

British Army commanders have spoken of finding themselves fighting British Muslims in Afghanistan - a "mini civil war", one called it. On current trends, that civil war will soon be waged on the home front, too. [...]

Most British Muslims mean their non-Muslim neighbours no harm. But it is becoming increasingly clear that a substantial number are determined to wage a jihad against this nation.
