THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: The terrorist threat to Britain is "as serious as it has ever been", David Cameron warns today.
In his new year message, the Prime Minister says that the security services are facing a daily struggle to stop plots that would "do terrible harm to our people and our economy".
The risk of terrorism has been demonstrated by the arrest this month of nine men accused of plotting a Christmas bombing campaign with targets including the London Stock Exchange and Big Ben, Mr Cameron declares.
He also suggests that Britain faces fundamental questions about why young Muslims continue to be drawn into violent extremism. The Islamic community must help address how their minds are "poisoned", he says.
Mr Cameron's stark message comes amid a prolonged row between Coalition ministers over anti-terrorism laws, with the Liberal Democrats pressing for some of Labour's contentious security measures to be watered down.
Mr Cameron says: "For many years now, we have been aware of the threat we face from international terrorism. Recent arrests show that that threat is still very much with us. And it is as serious today as it ever has been." >>> James Kirkup, Political Correspondent | Friday, December 31, 2010
Politically correct goggledygook from the fresh-faced Mr. Cameron. “International terrorism” indeed! Surely you must mean Islamic terrorism, Mr. Cameron. This is the threat we face. Another name for it is the Jihad. If we are to have a brighter, more secure future in Britain, nay in the West, we shall have to start calling things by their real names. Euphemisms just won’t do.
The facts are as plain as the nose on your face, Mr. Cameron. We have one almighty, herculean task ahead of us if we wish to get the better of all the Muslims in our midst who so clearly wish to destroy our free way of life. So get real, Mr. Cameron! Get real!
By the way, Mr. Cameron, you say that the “overwhelming majority of British Muslims detest this extremism”. What evidence do you have to say this? Isn’t this just spin and platitude? – © Mark
