Perhaps the British will wake up to the threat of Islam,

Britain 'is now biggest security threat to US'
By Francis Harris in Washington
(Filed: 29/08/2006)

Britain now presents a greater security threat to the United States
than Iran or Iraq, an American magazine said yesterday.

In an article on Islamists headlined "Kashmir on the Thames", the New
Republic painted Britain's Muslim communities as a breeding ground for
violent extremism.

Citing recent opinion poll evidence suggesting that one in four
British Muslims believed that last year's London Tube bombings were
justified, the magazine said: "In the wake of this month's high-
profile arrests, it can now be argued that the biggest threat to US
security emanates not from Iran or Iraq or Afghanistan, but rather
from Great Britain, our closest ally."

The magazine, with a circulation of 60,000-a-week, has its roots on
the Democratic Left although in recent years it has backed much of
President George W Bush's foreign policy. The claim is the latest in 
a series of hostile reassessment of Britain by Americans in the wake 
of the alleged plot to bring down transatlantic airliners.

Many have been appalled both by the existence of enthusiastic jihadis
in British cities and by the call from some of their leaders for a
change in the country's foreign policy.

Other publications and the think-tanks that shape public debate in
America have also issued stern criticism both of Britain's Muslims 
and of the Government. Nile Gardiner, of the Right-wing Heritage
Foundation, told The Daily Telegraph yesterday that Americans were
coming to view Britain as "a hornet's nest of Islamic extremists" 
and thought it posed ''a direct security threat to the US".

He said that if British-based terrorism continues, America is likely
to respond harshly.
