The European Union’s counter-terrorism coordinator, Gilles de Kerchove, “singled out the UK as having more radicalised Muslims than any other country in Europe,” with as many “35,000 fanatical Islamists.” France has around 17,000, he says, and other areas of Europe, “tens of thousands.”
This is what trusted authorities are subjecting their citizens to in the UK and elsewhere in the West. It is an appalling neglect of duty. De Kerchove also issues a dire warning:
that radicals were increasingly using the islamic concept of “taqiyya” – concealing their religious beliefs from those around them – in order to prevent detection.
Aiding jihadists even more is the abuse of the word “Islamophobia,” which aims to shut down criticism of Islam and beat up critics.
Britain is also home to up to a million young girls being raped by Muslim grooming gangs, and some 85 sharia courts, which are returning women to abuse in “marital captivity.”
Meanwhile, this has been reported about Hungary and Poland: “no refugees, no terror”.
“TERROR WARNING: Britain home to 35,000 Islamist fanatics, says security chief”, by Tom Worden, Express, August 31, 2017:
BRITAIN is home to up to 35,000 fanatical Islamists – with 3,000 of them “worrying” MI5, Europe’s top anti-terrorism official said today.
European Union’s counter-terrorism co-ordinator Gilles de Kerchove singled out the UK as having more radicalised muslims [sic] than any other country in Europe.
Mr de Kerchove also warned Islamic State will attempt a cyber-attack on nuclear power stations or air traffic control systems within five years – possibly by paying Russian hackers to break into vital computer systems.
The official, who is in regular contact with security services, as well as terror experts and governments around Europe, said: “The United Kingdom has identified 20,000 to 35,000 radicals.
Of these, 3,000 are worrying for MI5, and of those 500 are under constant and special attention.
“France has 17,000. Spain many less, but more than 5,000 I suppose. In Belgium almost 500 have been to Syria and there are around 2,000 radicals or more.
“I wouldn’t like to put a concrete figure on it, but (in Europe) tens of thousands, more than 50,000.
“We must select those who are really worrying and the most dangerous, and they should be monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”
Mr de Kerchove, who has been in his position since 2007, was speaking in an interview with Spain’s El Mundo newspaper.
He warned European countries will suffer further attacks inspired by ISIS – and said greater measures must be taken to prevent them.
Asked about the 12-man cell who murdered 16 and injured more than 100 in attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils on August 17 and 18, he said: “It’s early to draw definitive conclusions, but we know that we need much greater efforts in prevention.
“How do we detect the first signals (of radicalisation), no matter how weak they are? They succeeded in preparing the attacks under the radar.
“We will suffer more attacks. Most, except for Brussels and Paris, were not directed from Raqqa, but they were inspired there. And later Islamic State claims responsibility.
“The propaganda of the organisation no longer requires people to go to the caliphate. They can attack in their places or origin, including on a small scale with home-made weapons.”
Mr de Kerchove said it was vital that European intelligence agencies and police properly analyse the data they collect and share.
For example, police in Catalonia had been warned about Abdelbaki Es Satty, the alleged leader of the Barcelona cell, by counterparts in Belgium, but failed to recognise the danger he represented.
The counter-terrorism official warned that radicals were increasingly using the islamic concept of “taqiyya” – concealing their religious beliefs from those around them – in order to prevent detection…..
PRCS says
35,000 “fanatical Islamists”
And several million regular Islamists.
Saleem Smith says
Muslims insist that the Qur’an is perfect and instructional and that Muhammad the prophet of Islam is the model man for human conduct. Therefore of course there are 35,000 Islamic jihadis in the UK desiring and planning to turn the British Isles into another Islamic state.
There have been over 30,000 jihad attacks since 911. And I would guess that at least 500,000 or more jihad attacks have been prevented by various law enforcement officials.
We ex-Muslims living with Islam’s formal and informal death penalty for apostasy know that Mohammedanism is a terribly dangerous and harmful fraud.
Qur’an 009:029:
Fight against such of those to whom the Scriptures were given as believe neither in God nor the Last Day, who do not forbid what God and His Apostle have forbidden, and who do not embrace the true Faith, until they pay tribute out of hand and are utterly subdued.
Qur’an 009:123:
O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him).
Islam is no “religion of peace.” Islam is primarily a religion of “injustice, intolerance, hatred, and violence.” The fact is, if we non-Muslims were to say about Muslims what the Qur’an says about us, we would be arrested for hate speech. The Qur’an largely preaches discrimination, death, and imposition of its dogma on everyone. Certainly some Muslims will be offended by such statements, but frankly, so what? Judaism and Christianity, the world’s two other major monotheistic religions, have had to face the harshest of scrutiny and criticism for several hundred years which continues to this day. Islam must not be granted any special privileges or be exempt from such treatment – the implications are of tremendous importance.
Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:
“One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur’an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way…
The statement continues,
Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.”
Hilary Almeida says
Saleem, I am going to copy and paste the statement from your post on my facebook page; I hope you do not mind.
Hilary
faraway says
Great post Saleem.I would add that as a narcissist,Mo just wanted to be obeyed and admired during his lifetime and did not care what happened on earth after.He never thought that islam would go on so long or so far in extent.I claim that he converted to christianity in his last hours because he knew he was a fraud and had made up most of the koran himself:he thought his only chance of avoiding hellfire was to confess to the merciful god.
Westman says
All of that. Figuring that, worldwide, there are1300 Million Muslims of which 25% either support violent jihad or are jihadists. Discounting the 3/4 who are are kids and women, it leaves a “mere” 81 million jihadists and their active supporters in the world. The UK is home to, perhaps,187,000 jihadists and jihad supporters. The “troubles” are just beginning.
mortimer says
I would have estimated that jihadists are one-tenth of one percent of all Muslims. In UK, that’s about 3 or 4 thousand jihadists… still a large number. I believe though that 35,000 are very sympathetic to jihad… perhaps as many as 15% of all Muslims in UK. That’s about 45,000 jihad sympathizers who could be counted on to aid and abet the jihadists pulling the job.
D Austin says
King Arthur’s messianic return is an aspect of King Arthur, the mythical 6th-century British king. One recurrent aspect of Arthurian literature was the notion that he would one day return in the role of a messiah to save his people.
At the current rate of occupation, stories of King Arthur are going to be replaced with stories of Muhammad (police beat upon him).
PRCS says
PBUH. Heh.
R Russell says
Police beat upon him!!??? The UK police are bending over backwards to make Islam the main religion in the UK. Any complaints about Islam are considered islamophobia. Any complaints about Muslims breaking the law are ignored.
D Austin says
Well there you go! Either revive that one-way trip to the Tower of London for politicians or immigrate out of the UK like the UN wants. It’s the UN pushing this clash of cultures.
Bob says
Agreed, and our politicos of all parties’re guilty of favouring islamists! Scared of islamophobia and alleged racism!
Guy Forester says
Actually, I think they are bending over forward.
Minutes1234 says
Yes.
PRCS says
“radicals were increasingly using the islamic concept of “taqiyya” – concealing their religious beliefs from those around them – in order to prevent detection.”
An example: they “condemn terrorism”, but they don’t denounce/renounce those passages from Islam’s texts which drive the terror of violent jihad.
Now, what’s preventing UK citizens from doing their own fact checking?
D Austin says
Ever heard of Maslow and his hierarchy of needs?
“The safety needs can become very urgent on the social scene whenever there are real threats to law, to order, to the authority of society. The threat of chaos or of nihilism can be expected in most human beings to produce regression from the higher needs to the more prepotent safety needs. A common, almost an expectable reaction, is the easier acceptance of dictatorship or of military rule. This tends to be true for all human beings, including healthy ones, since they too will tend to respond to danger with realistic regression to the safety need level and will prepare to defend themselves. But it seems to be most true of people who are living near the safety line. They are particularly disturbed by threats to authority, to legality, and to the representatives of the law.” Abraham H. Maslow, “Motivation and Personality”, 3rd ed, 1987, p.19,
R Russell says
Maslow can be interpreted in various ways and it is known the ‘hierarchy’ is not necessarily sequential. .
This is a quote from Viktor Frankl, another name from the Humanistic Counselling Approach. To me it has more meaning.
“Those who have a ‘why’ to live, can bear with almost any ‘how’.”
Maslow didn’t have much influence on those who died at ISIS hands, some by immolation, some by being fed live through a commercial dough maker, some by crucifixion, some by being raped to death, some cut in two, some skinned alive, children thrown in the air and impaled on bayonets, ………..so I could go on. They continued to live to suffer because the friendship with the Bible Jesus gave them a ‘why’. They knew torture has always been the punishment for being a Christian.
What Frankl put in words is nothing new….
In the post Christian West Christians are gradually being placed in the position of the Christians under ISIS slowly over time leading to the same fate.
Today it is discrimination at a mild level which over time when these jihadis are in control will lead to the same atrocities as we have seen in the Middle East and other Islamic countries.
Frankl said something else: “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
Could he, as a Jew have heard of the attitude which brings most peace to the sufferer? That is the attitude of another Jew, the attitude of the Bible Jesus who says we have to forgive our enemies: Forgiveness is for the peace of mind of the victim. Justice is for the crime. Both are possible at the same time.
Maslow’s hierarchy has the potential for selfishness; a selfish self centred goal. Self sacrifice is what leads to our freedom and that of our descendants.
However another religion – that of atheism – with its creed of the survival of the fittest dogma and situational ethics is the one which causes people to cling on to this life for it offers nothing beyond the grave. In order to ‘live’ they will tolerate any ‘how’. Including potential forced conversion to Islam when the time comes, for them and their children. Could there be an absence of ‘a big picture’?
Some relationships extend beyond the grave. Christians have and will continue to suffer at the hands of those who take the Koran and Hadiths as truth.
Christians know what the near future and the distant future holds. That gives them the ‘why’ to ‘live’ through torture. They can do it with the attitude of forgiveness – which has been known to lead to the Christian conversion of some ISIS jihadis. That is nothing new. It was this attitude which led to the Christian conversion of some of the Roman soldiers observing the courage at the Colosseum as the Christians awaited their fate many centuries ago.
Below is out of context, but you get the picture:
…..others were tortured, not accepting their release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection; and others experienced mockings and scourgings, yes, also chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were tempted, they were put to death with the sword; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated (men of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves and holes in the ground…….. The Bible
“Those who have a ‘why’ to live, can bear with almost any ‘how’.”
It’s coming to the UK very soon if we don’t wake up and remember our Christian roots.
gravenimage says
D Austin, are you implying again that Islam is not really a threat, but that this is just being ginned up by the bad old West?
D Austin says
Trying to read Muslim threat into everything you see must confuse you greatly. This is Maslow’s opinion on why people accept dictatorships and martial law so easily. In this case why aren’t the stiff Brits openly threatening civil war?
Minutes1234 says
They don’t care.
Michael Warden says
According to Pew Research “only” 1% of muslims in Britain are happy to cut off my head. At a muslim population of 3.5 million, my calculator tells me that is 35,000.
Does Sharia May know this ? Does she care ?
Is she so dumb she does not understand the maths behind a muslim majority within two generations due to their breeding habits ?
mortimer says
The United Kingdom is then, the most dangerous country in Europe and the UK government is not segregating these walking time bombs either.
The UK government does not care about the voters; only about possibly offending Muslims.
Minutes1234 says
Yes..
mortimer says
Will the European Union heed Gilles de Kerchove ? Will the UK heed him?
Guest says
What didn’t England leave the EU?
R Russell says
More than England left the EU. Do you think the UNITED Kingdom broke up so only England left?
gravenimage says
Brexit is a good first step–but it doesn’t by itself make Britain a safe place. It is still full of Jihadists.
Sirippou Singaram says
So, England is the first Muslim country in Europe soon?
Hiding says
I boycott the UK as a travel destination as well as all its products in the marketplace. Westerners just are not safe there and the British government does not care about us. Only fools travel to Egypt, Turkey, now the UK and western Europe. The pope does not take the safety of his flock seriously, thus I also boycott the RC church. Only fools attend Catholic churches anymore. I hereby excommunicate myself from an institution that does not care about its people.
John S. Obeda says
Hiding, Jihad Watch friend, Martin Luther (born 1483, died 1546) also finally had to boycott the Roman Catholic Church. It’s now 500 years ago that posted the theses on the church door. But, as Luther, so all we, God bless you and me not to boycott His Son Whom He sent into the world to rescue it and us from sin and eternal death and the power of the devil.
Monty says
When you see just how much financial influence the Muslim world has in the UK, you will not be surprised at how deferential the leaders are to Islam. They have handed the British soul to Islam as collateral and the debt is now being called in. My parents did me a great favour over 50 years ago. They left the UK and I now live in Australia. I still love the English countryside but the English have deserted God and it seems that He has returned the favour. I was there this time last year. Just delightful, but the people seemed worried and anxious about the future. Brexit will solve nothing. It goes way deeper than ties to Europe. I can’t imagine going back again. I doubt I’d be able to keep out of prison. I have a habit of speaking my mind. I still have UK citizenship so I need to keep my record clean so I can continue to live in Australia!
D Austin says
The people of Australia surrendered when they turned in their guns. You can bet those Muslims being brought into Australia won’t be disarmed when the traitors make their move.
Sarah says
Should that read as the UK Home Office hit with 35,000 charges of treason? Maybe they can split the charges over each Politician who ran that incompetent joke of a department, over the last 20 years. Even it out to several thousand charges per Politician.
This is nothing more, or less, than a complete dereliction of duty and treasonous betrayal of the United Kingdom.
Start rolling out the guillotine. Leave the blade dull, they deserve that.
D Austin says
When socialist countries run out of other people’s money to give away, they sell their national soul for cash. Looks like Muhammad (police beat upon him) is foreclosing on GB and the collateral for that cash fix is being seized. Long live the Queen and socialist welfare.

Security chief says UK is home to 35,000 Islamic jihadis
…………………..
Obviously, there is no way to monitor so many Jihadists–so Britons are in constant danger.
John Forbes says
I also believe that the so called ELITE have already surrendered the UK to ISLAM ! They will refer this as a pragmatic realistic step & right now everything points to a “softening up ” of the Indigenous Population for the introduction of SHARIA !
When Queen Elizabeth The Second passes on Bat Ears Charles – who is a great Friend of the Saudi;s is going to be – not the head of the Church as his Mother is but head of a Multi Faith group ,
Ray Charles can see where this is heading >
The UK I believe will not be the FIRST ISLAMIC STATE of EUROPE – KOSOVO I believe has that title – but it is secular !
The FIRST one I believe will be BELGIUM with Sweden after that & then the UK.
Based on Demographics that I looked at this is my – non expert -opinion !
What is equally worrying is the General Population;s reluctance to FIGHT for DEMOCRACY & their DETERMINATION to not do so SHOWN by whom they elect – MERKEL in Germany will win again – which for me is a REAL MYSTERY as she is delibswe
eratly destroying Germany ! Macron in France – I see him as a so called REALIST ( COWARD) who has no intention at all of putting up any fight for the REPUBLIC or DEMOCRACY ! MAY I see as a TOTAL COWARD – who is so frightened of everything that at the INSTANT of an ATTACK – PARROTS ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE & VIOLENCE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM !
HOLLAND WILL JUST QUIETLY GIVE UP & i BELIEVE HAS ALREADY DECIDED TO DO SO !
SWEDEN GAVE UP LONG AGO !
Milo says
Gilles de Kerchove will be declared an Islamophobe and loose his job.
dumbledoresarmy says
Those – guesstimated – *at least* 35, 000 jihadis are the ‘standing army’ of the Ummah in the UK (which is *at least* 3 million strong, probably a good deal more – see Barnabas Fund’s booklet, ‘Islam in Britain’ for some astute remarks on this subject).
Meanwhile, the formal standing army, namely, the British Army, fielded by the Infidel population (there are, let us be thankful, not very many mohammedans in the Army) of some 60 million, numbers… 78,000.
1/20th of the population fields a de facto army that is little less than half the size of the *regular* army fielded by the other 19/20ths of the population.
Conclusion: ANY and ALL able-bodied UK citizens who are not ‘senior citizens’ who have become aware of the jihad threat, the Meaning and Menace of Islam (as Mr Spencer’s friend Hugh Fitzgerald once put it) would do well to sign up for the Territorial Army *or*, if in a position to do so, at least attempt to enlist in the *regular* army. Be careful of letting your ‘Islamophobic’ leanings be visible; but… get into the army! Or get some training, including weapons-and-strategy training, in the Territorial Army (what we Aussies call the Army Reserves).
Serious martial arts training wouldn’t be a bad idea, as well.
I suspect that one of the reasons that the 20 percent of Israel’s population that is mohammedan is not an even worse headache than it already is, is because the ummah knows that a very high percentage of the fighting-age Jewish Israeli population has been put through ‘boot camp’, in the late teens/ early twenties, both men *and* women; and that the guys in the 30s and 40s and early 50s do ‘refresher’ terms in the Reserves.

What happened to that TV show in Australia about an invading army (looked Indonesian or Malaysian) came in and a group of teenagers, who were camping, became insurgents, fighting them, while their parents were in a POW camp? Australian version of Red Dawn.
Terry says
Only one solution, deportation to radicals.
Guy Forester says
Unfortunately, this is what happens when a population drinks from the fountain of socialism. All religions, political systems (as long as they are leftist), and nations, etc. are of equal value. They have quickly forgotten what Winston Churchill wrote and spoke about so many years ago.
Unfortunately, the UK forgot everything learned from WW1 and WW2. Maybe that is because so many good men and women died defending the UK.
I read an interesting article in a magazine years ago. After the defeat of the BEF in France and the Dunkirk evacuation, the UK had an army but few arms. The already disarmed populace was organized into a “Home Guard” to act as some kind of back up patrol and guerrilla operation if needed. But, all they had were a few sporting arms.
So, the UK government contacted the NRA (yes, that NRA) and asked them to ask the members to donate any useable arms for their Home Guard. I do not recall the numbers, but the US did respond and thousands of rifles were sent to the UK. After the war, the UK decided to destroy all of these arms. I guess they preferred to live in fantasy island.
BTW, if there are at least 35k active “radicals”, that means there are many more supporters. The supporters provide money, shelter, ID’s, and in any way possible aid these radicals. They stay out of the news and light. The active ones may not necessarily be the martyrs and attackers. They may be recruiters, trainers, organizers, and procurers of weapons and other military equipment. The idiots you see running around with knives, swords, and rented vans are useful distractions that keep the real threats out of the news.
