“British men and women, many in their teens, are being radicalised to the point of violence within weeks, MI5 warned yesterday.” Why is it so easy for these young Muslims to be “radicalised to the point of violence within weeks”? Why does the peaceful, tolerant Islam that UK officials are so unshakably confident is taught in mosques all over the country so easily break down in the face of this “radicalising”? “Investigators have also detected a significant overlap between Islamist suspects and those suffering mental health problems.” Has anyone attempted to account for this alarming prevalence of mental illness among young Muslims in the UK? Or is this a Stalinesque attempt to ascribe unwanted views to mental illness, rather than face the reality of how this ideology actually grows and spreads?
“Three thousands terror suspects plotting to attack UK,” by Sean O’Neill, The Times, September 18, 2015:
MI5 and anti-terrorism police are monitoring more than 3,000 homegrown Islamic extremists willing to carry out attacks in Britain, security sources have told The Times.
British men and women, many in their teens, are being radicalised to the point of violence within weeks, MI5 warned yesterday.
Investigators have also detected a significant overlap between Islamist suspects and those suffering mental health problems, leaving them vulnerable to grooming. The NHS now has fulltime staff attached to the anti-extremism Prevent programme who try to identify signs of extremist behaviour.
Although more than half of Islamists on terrorist watchlists live in London, especially in the capital’s east and west, there are other hot spots in the southeast, West Midlands and Manchester.
The scale of the domestic threat was revealed after Andrew Parker became yesterday (Thursday) the first MI5 director-general in the agency’s 106-year history to give a live broadcast interview. Intelligence officials had foiled six plots in the past year, he said, calling on internet giants to help in the fight.
Mr Parker told BBC Radio 4: “Most of the people who try to become involved in terrorism in this country are people who were born and brought up here, have come through our education system, and have nonetheless concluded that the country — their home country and the country of their birth — is their enemy.”
The new analysis of jihadist activity suggests that the number of violent suspects being monitored has risen by more than 50 per cent since 2007, when the security agencies had a list of 2,000 people seen as active supporters of al-Qaeda. The number has surged in the past two years with the rise of Islamic State in Syria. Most of those under suspicion have never been to Syria but have fallen under the influence of the organisation’s online propaganda.
About 1,000 Britons are thought to have joined jihadist groups in Syria, 300 have returned and 70 have been killed fighting in Syria and Iraq since 2011….

While germany celebrates the Muslim invasion !!!!
I am living in germany and would like to escape , too – but where to ?
Don McKellar says
I wonder how many jihadis planning deadly terror attack the German authorities are monitoring right now? Or is power mad housefrau Merkel keeping a tight lid on that one?

I kinda wonder whether, if Israel were to form a special division of the IDF – sort of like the French Foreign Legion, but open to non-Jewish persons who wish to assist Israel with her self-defence against Jihad – how many takers they would get? They could call it “The Orde Wingate Brigade” or the “John Henry Patterson Brigade’, to honour two renowned historic Friends of Zion.
Mick says
Of course these prospective terrorists hate their “country of birth,” they are muslims first and Brits second, a culture within a culture. Bigotry and religious-driven hatred permeates Islam like oxygen does the air. It’s in the koran, in the mosques, and in the traditions and homes of faithful muslims everywhere. And the sorry result is the mass murder and mayhem we see daily around the world. But don’t worry, just accept them and love them as they are and everything will be okay. Everthing will be just fine.
Sorry, was I supposed to add this: [SARC] ???

All these comments are true as far as they go but you are missing the point. Too many people living in the western world HATE THEIR OWN COUNTRIES and have lost faith in their institutions, mainly due to Marxist indoctrination of our educational system over the last 50 years. The left have successfully convinced the last couple of generations that Capitalism is corrupt, greedy, that the British empire was evil, that we are racist, and that capitalism is destroying the Earth. Then to top it all off we get Richard Dawkins’ militant atheism sending the message that there’s no meaning to existence, and you create a huge vacuum for some young teenager whose parents came from a Muslim background and who needs firm beliefs to guide him through life, coming to the conclusion that following the Koran makes more sense.
I’m a atheist l’m sad to say, but I’m convinced based upon my reading that without faith in the future civilizations are doomed, for without faith in the future all that is left is living in the here and now, so why have kids?, and this is exactly what Europe in particular is going through now. Every Western country is in population decline, and again where there’s a vacuum it will be filled by someone and that someone looks to be the Muslim faith.

they are certainly not Brits either… more like Pazuzu’s gonads.

Yet “Moderate Muslims” continue to remain silent. What does that tell you about their character?
If their “Faith” is so stable, if their god is so strong, why wouldn’t they speak out? What would they have to fear?
“I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell.” (Luke 12:4-5)
No…. They won’t speak out against radical Islam. They’re too fearful. They’ve been brainwashed into believe a lie. They’ve forsaken the truth for a god who despises them……
“Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. ”
Oh Muslim….
Are you listening?
Where is your god?
Where is he leading you?
Can you trust him?
PRCS says
“radical Islam”?
Gary says
Exactly my point. Islam IS Islam. There is no moderate Islam.
All Muslims are slaves to a lie. A lie from the pit of hell.
PRCS says
I apparently missed your point.
bobm says
indeed…. 1 john 2:22…he that believeth not in the Father and Son is a liar…. he is antichrist.
Katnis says
I find the overlap between Muslims and mental illness questionable. Rather than suffering a biologically based brain disease, Muslims are most likely leveraging mental illness as an excuse for inhumane or socially unacceptable behavior.
This is atrocious and does nothing to help the people who were born with mental health challenges and really do need support. Shame on them.
Angemon says
It would be interesting to see a demographic study of these quickly “radicalized” people. More specifically, were they muslims to begin with?
I wonder if there’s an overlap between people who don’t like dogs and “islamist” suspects? Or teetotalers and “islamist” suspects?
Clearly the sign of mental illness and not of anyone indoctrinating them to hink that, especially not their family members and imams in mosques… sarc./off…
Gee, what a surprise!
And why is that? Could it be that the ideology propagated by the islamic state, claiming th be the rightly guided caliphate, basing their every action in islamic orthodoxy, etc., is appealing to muslims?
SoCalMike says
3000? that’s all.
What could possibly go wrong when the “Best and Brightest” are keeping an eye on them?
Truth Seeker says
Remember the Saying; ‘Giving the Knife and get stabbed on the Back’. This is what happens in Britain. Hostile people were given warm Welcome and Nurtured. They will show their Real Colour. Now the problem is for Britain.None of those who Persuaded Britain to welcome Stealth jihadis won’t come for any help.

jayell says
So, back to my hobby-horse again. How much does monitoring 3,000 suspected islamic terrorists cost? Might it be broadly in line with all the man-power reduction in the normal police, closing police stations, cutting local authority services, cutting the armed forces, cutting NHS services, cutting Arts funding, so that our security and quality of life in the UK has suffered? That plus all the extra welfare payments incurred by muslims (unemployment, housing, excessive child benefit, muslims account for over 30% of all birth defects in the UK, etc., etc.,), and plus the cost of maintaining the grossly excessive number of muslims in UK prisons? Muslims really have been a benefit to the UK haven’t they? Just like they’ve been a benefit to mankind in general? NOT! Sorry, my memory fails me, who was that prominent politician in the USA who recently correctly labelled muslims in the US as THE problem? And made an interesting observation about the current President? We need him this side of the pond, like, NOW.

islam = LOST souls
Jennifer Anne Khan says
It’s all propaganda .. personally I think that your all missing the point ~ point being, that all was ok till UK/US decided to destabilise the Middle East, fund Israel to the tune of billions in money/arms/weapons to do their dirty work for them to trash Palestine, which of course Israel was more than happy to do ~ then UK/US moved on into Syria etc etc leaving these people no other alternative but to flee or stay and be killed .. Of course people are angry, wouldn’t you be if the situation was reversed and it was us ?!?!?! Start looking at what our governments, Israel, Saudi Arabia are doing/have done so far because when the Middle East is utterly trashed they will start on us .. FACT-NWO are behind all our troubles ………
dumbledoresarmy says
Nonsense.
Absolute bloody BS.
Jihad – the never-ending Mohammedan campaign to conquer every inch of planet earth and force the whole of humanity to Submit to Muslim rule and to the inhuman/ antihuman Unlaw that is the Sharia – has been going on for 1400 years, waxing and waning in direct proportion to the strength or weakness of the Ummah or Mohammedan Mob, whether considered as a whole or regionally, vis a vis the next-door non-Muslims whether ‘western’, African or Asian. Are you going to claim that the Evil Elite behind the “New World Order: have been puppet masters controlling 1400 years of jihad on three continents (now on five) for all of that time??? That’s tinfoil hat territory. I read Andrew Bostom’s “Legacy of Jihad” and I read Patrick Sookhdeo’s “Global Jihad” and I can see *that the present-day wave of jihad is very, very similar in lots of ways to all previous campaigns…the main difference is that Muslims have managed to get behind ‘enemy lines’ in large numbers and establish advanced bases (the nearest parallel to the situation of Europe and the west today is probably the situation of the Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms of what is now Indonesia, when *they* began to be colonised by mohammedans using the Hijra method).
Jihad is driven by the core programme of Islam.
Muslims are not puppets and not victims. They are *perpetrators*. And what Muslims mean by ‘defending’ Islam is very often what infidels call *offensive* warfare. For most of its history the dar al Islam has waged *offensive* jihad. Why? To punish the Infidels for…being-Infidel. No matter whether they were Jewish, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Zoroastrian, atheist, agnostic, animist, Confucian, Taoist, you-name-it.
ALL we have to do to be a target of Jihad is to be not-Muslim and, when ‘invited’ to become Muslim, to REFUSE, and when ‘invited’ to accept untermensch status as Dhimmis, to REFUSE. THEN, Muslims feel entitled to wage war against us and enslave us or kill us.
Muslims will take advantage of foolish or soft-hearted or naive – or corrupt or power-hungry or divided – Infidels. Where there is not division in the Camp of the Infidels, Muslims will seek to sow division, to ‘split the camp’. If division already exists, they will attempt to make it worse.
Your obvious hatred of Israel is not only evil but stupid. Bloody stupid. Because the Jews – on ancestral Jewish traditional land chockfull of the most ancient Jewish Sacred Sites all of which predate Islam by at least a couple of millennia – are defending themselves against genocidal Jihad. The so-called ‘Palestinians’ – the Arab Muslims in and around Israel, most notably those under Hamas in Jihad Fortress and Military Armed Camp Gaza, which *seethes* with Islamically-inspired fanatical Jew-hatred – are merely the shock troops of the Jihad; its proxies or catspaws. You *want* Israel to be destroyed? You *want* to see millions of Jews (and also the Christians within Israel) butchered by allahu-akbaring Muslim murderers or enslaved or reduced to the humiliation, degradation and constant physical peril of untermensch Dhimmi status? Then go ahead, cheer for the ‘poor palestinians’…when the Jihad has finished with Israel it will come for *you* next.
