Al-Qaeda: Great Britain prime target
BBC: Al-Qaeda has become more organised and sophisticated and has made Britain its top target, counter-terrorism officials have told the BBC.

Security sources say the situation has never been so grim, said BBC home affairs correspondent Margaret Gilmore.

They believe the network is now operating a cell structure in the UK - like the IRA did - and sees the 7 July bomb attacks "as just the beginning". UK 'number one al-Qaeda target

The danger isn't from al Qadeda, a group that franchises out terror and is only one of hundreds of Jihadist groups, the danger is from the insidious, chronic pain of having to endure the slow Islamization of a population that doesn't want it and the stupidity of an incompetent government that refuses to take preventive measures.

And, unfortunately, the same process is occcurring all over the world, Europe, Africa, and the Americas. It's incredible.

Eleanor, I couldn't agree more!

Considering Great Britain's high Muslim population, Al Queda may be creating a strawman through which other "conquests" can be achieved in Europe. I have no doubt but that these people really do plan on a new Caliphate, achieved not altogether unlike the one that began in the 7th Century. I wish I had confidence that our friends in Great Britain will resist this with every resource at their disposal . . . but I'm not even sure about Americans anymore.

Drat.
