A new review of “Britain’s efforts to stop people becoming terrorists will identify Islamist violence and not Right-wing extremism as the country’s biggest terror threat.” Its author, William Shawcross, reviews “Britain’s efforts to stop people becoming terrorists” and his report identifies jihad violence “and not Right-wing extremism as the country’s biggest terror threat.” In 2021, Shawcross was appointed independent reviewer of the UK’s deradicalization program, Prevent, which not only catastrophically failed, but was discovered last month to have used taxpayer money to fund jihad organizations and Taliban supporters. The new review carries a measure of hope, but it will be certainly met with furious resistance.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman “is expected to support the review’s call for a back to basics approach which will see renewed efforts to counter the core ideology behind Islamist terrorism.” Unfortunately, there was never a “back to basics” approach to begin with, since authorities viewed normative Islam as a religion of peace. Try testing how peaceful it is regarding insults.
However many Muslims and non-Muslims proclaim Islam to be a religion of peace, there are abundant passages in the Qur’an and Hadith that prove otherwise. Indeed, there are Qur’anic verses that instruct peace, but its chronologically later verses call for war against disbelievers and bloody conquest. Islam’s principle of abrogation dictates that where there is a contradiction, the later verses override the earlier verses.
As the Western world focuses on whatever the mainstream media tells them to focus on, the threat of jihad (stealth and violent) has not abated. It is being virtually ignored. As the West beats itself up over “white supremacy,” leaders have made it easy for Muslim Brotherhood operatives and Islamic supremacists to infiltrate to the highest levels, and for violent jihadists to enter Western countries, thanks to open-door immigration policies. Western leaders tend to be naive and egotistical; many Muslims who have approached Western leaders with a friendly handshake and promises to ‘help’ fight ‘racism’ and radicalization are welcomed and embraced in a spirit of “diversity” and “inclusion.” The Telegraph revealed that “groups funded by Prevent were led by people who allegedly supported the Taliban, defended banned militant Islamist groups and hosted hate preachers.” And these individuals certainly did not ‘look’ the part.
Nonetheless, the apparent willingness of Britain to confront jihad ideology now is a significant shift. It can potentially serve as an example to the entire West, which for years has been brushing aside the ideology behind stealth and violent jihad. It is the ideology that makes its adherents particularly resistant to any deradicalization program. To date, such programs resemble routine Western programs to reduce recidivism, which are completely inapt when dealing with the deeply ingrained belief among jihadists that they are doing the work of Allah and earning rewards in the afterlife.
“Shawcross’s review of the Prevent anti-terrorism programme is expected to argue Islamist terror poses the greatest threat to life and the most casework for MI5.” It looks good theoretically, but any program that any infidel country may attempt to implement to highlight the ideology that drives jihad will be met with swift and vociferous accusations of “Islamophobia.” The Islamophobia suberfuge is a proven, sure-fire way to deflect all attention away from the jihad, and instead to stir up victimology with allegations of breaches of human rights, etc. The mainstream Left-leaning media laps it all up with glee.
When accepted leaders of a religious ideology encourage human shields and jihad summer camp for kids, as seen in the Palestinian “resistance,“ that should alert the West the reality and power of the jihad ideology. Instead, the Palestinian “resistance” has gained worldwide acceptance via sophisticated propaganda campaigns.

Thank you for this article. It gives a
glimmer of hope to those of us who
want Jihad terrorism to end forever.
But whenever any government official
says “back to the basics” I tend to
cringe. What they should be thinking
and saying is “forward to a new future.”
There should be a language interpreter
to welcome the new immigrants and
speak to them with these words:
“You are welcome here as long as you
do not break any of our civil laws; you
must get a job to pay for your housing,
food, clothing and other expenses; and
you must learn the main language of our
country, which is your new country. We
want you to be successful and enjoy life here. And this list of agencies can help
you learn the main language and assist
with other benefits. BUT, if you cannot
do these things within 5 years you will
be sent back to the country from which
you came. End of story.”
The incoming people would immediately understand from the interpreter that they have a standard of behavior to follow
or else they must leave. This is called “CONSEQUENCES.” There is nothing
wrong in having to deal with
consequences. It is the basis for civilized
behavior and actions.
somehistory says
It’s only common sense.
If your house burns down, it’s common sense to say it was due to a fire.
Not having common sense, one might claim the burned building came down due to flooding in the river across the state line.
When terrorists are mozlum, attend the barracks meetings where terror threats are made, are funded by other mozlums, and scream that hideous phrase, then the threat is coming from islam and not some White guy thinking he’s superior to other races.
And especially not to some White guy…or other color…believing in the rule of law that says people have freedom of speech, freedom of choice in religion, clothing, food, marriage, etc.
Walter Sieruk says
The title of this article about jihadists in the United Kingdom uses the words “Islamists” is a fake word. Likewise “Islamism i salso a fake word that used that was made up after September 11, 2001 in order offend or upset non-violent Muslims. The real, actual, word is just “Islam.” Likewise, the word “Islamist” is also a bogus word that was made up after 9/11 in order not to offend or upset peaceful Muslims. To keep with reality, terms should better be used as “Islamic terrorist” or “Muslim terrorist” . Let’s call people and thing as the really are.
Furthermore, The terms Islamic extremism” and “Islamic extremist” as well as “Radical Muslim” is actually a misuse of terms. “Moderate Muslim” are actually Western term and not that well known in the Islamic Middle East. This is because what In the Islamic mindset in the Muslim Middle East as well as in Indonesia and other Muslim controlled countries what the non-Muslims of the Western nations view as “radical and “extremist” the Muslims of those places in the world see as “Normal” and even Devout and committed to the Cause of Islam.”
In addition , those “Moderate Muslims” are those of the Islamic worldview and non-devout and non –committed Muslims. The violent jihadists even see them as “hypocrites.” Therefore, this explains the jihadist chant of those jihad-minded Muslims in different Islamic terror organizations. When they chant out loud “Death to infidels and hypocrites.” Meaning Death to people who and not Muslims and people who are non- jihadist Muslims.
Concerning the last part of this above essay, the violent spirit of that vicious jihadist chant “Death to infidels and hypocrites.” The later word of the chant “hypocrites” in the jihad –minded Muslim worldview is further explain in the book titled JIHADIST PSYCHOPATH by Jamie Glazov , for on page 42 the reader is informed that “Islam mandates that devout and real Muslims must punish , and in some circumstances kill, those Muslims whom they regard as neither legitimate nor properly devout.”
PMK says
Walter,
I have a Random House College Dictionary from 1973. It defines “islamism” as the religion or culture of Islam. The word was recognized decades before 9/11, though it may not have been common usage. Given the rules of English, it can be inferred that ‘Islamist’ was later derived from Islamism, even though the word is not in my 1973 dictionary.
Walter Sieruk says
PMK , thank you for this information . The things is my pre-9/11 dictionary . for the most part is rather good ,yet is have the word “Islamism ” in it . Likewise I do have a good number of books about Islam written and published before September 11, 2001 and I had read all of them and didn’t fine that word in them . Neither in I didn’t see it in the glossary of any of those that word.
Nevertheless think you letting me know ,that was interesting.
Walter Sieruk says
There are jihadists, because the word “jihadist” is a actual real word. In contrast “Islamist” I sa fake word.
Furthermore many scholars on Islam ,such as Brigitte Gabriel and Robert Spencer, had explain that the terms “Radical Islam” and “Moderate Islam” Western terms and are unknown to the Islamic world. As one of their leader said “Islam is Islam”
Furthermore, a Muslim in an Islamic country would view that a Westerner would call a “Radical Muslim” in a Muslim nation he would be seen as a “devote Muslim” who is totally committed to the cause of Islam by the way of the violent jihad,
By contrast what a Westerner would call a “moderate Muslim’ many Muslims in Asia as well as the Middle East call a Muslim who is not really living up to his faith in Islam by not taking up arms in the violence and killing of the jihad for Islam.
Therefore many of Muslim, overseas , would call him a “hypocrite” This is way many devote Muslim who are violent jihadists gather together in a group and chant “Death to infidels and hypocrites ” Meaning “Death to non-Muslims and non-violent, jihadist Muslims.
PMK says
So if ‘Islamists’ are recognized as the greatest terror threat, what impact will it have? Won’t we have the same apologists saying Islam is peaceful and you can’t call someone an Islamist without being accused of some hate crime? George W. Bush saw thousands of Americans murdered in a single day on his watch and he still couldn’t condemn the ideology that led to 9/11. He still respects the faith that condones parents and grandparents killing the children who bring them ‘dishonor’.
Linde B. says
To PMK- Thank you for your comments, especially about George W. Bush. In my
opinion, George W. Bush was the fakest
of the Republicans (I call them ReFLUBicans) and should never have
run for US President. His grandfather,
Prescott Bush, was Hitler’s banker! 😈
And George W. Bush 🤪 got a 1 out
of 10 rating from Robert Spencer in Spencer’s book “Rating America’s Presidents”.

Our western countries wake up too late to the nature of islam and the danger, the terrorism, the rape gangs, etc that islam represents. So now, after letting so many Muslims into the country, the UK recognises islam as the main threat in terms of terrorism. Well, I suppose that it is progress, but the Hungarians and the other Visegrad bloc countries have been wide awake enough to prevent the problem by, wisely, refusing to let Muslims into their countries. Those countries have avoided the very foreseeable trouble that islam always brings with it.
Linde B. says
To tim gallagher- Your latest comment is very true and on-
target. And in my opinion, any Muslims from other parts of
the world who want to be in
“good company” with their
fellow Muslims can apply for
citizenship to:
Kosovo -almost 96% Muslim, Albania -almost 59% Muslim,
and Bosnia-Herzegovina
-almost 57% Muslim.
tim gallagher says
Thanks, Linde B. One thing is for sure – Muslims are always going to be far more trouble than more peaceful groups of migrants, such as, say, Buddhists, so I agree with what you say. Muslims should go to other Muslim countries where they can live their backward, barbaric style of life together in their Muslim “paradises’ and won’t have to spend their time hating the non-Muslim infidels around them. Muslims seldom want to try to get along peacefully with non-Muslims – it is not part of the Muslim mentality as expressed in the Koran.
Linde B. says
To tim gallagher- You are 100% correct and I do not mean “politically correct”. 🤪
BUT, there is also evidence over the past 25 years both in the US and in Europe that a group of Muslims will move to a certain “western thinking” nation to try to convert some of their neighbors, co-workers and romantic liaisons in that new place. I know a Muslim man who was a home health aide here in NYC and he was hired to assist an elderly lady who was Jewish. He treated her very nicely (as his job required) and spoke to her often about what the Quran said in various verses regarding the treatment of people. But I am sure he did not tell her about the Jew hatred in the Quran. He left that out. So this Muslim home health aide guy eventually got this Jewish lady to say the “Shahadah” which is “There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger.” He told me about it and how happy he was because that means he has a spot reserved for himself in the “Islamic Paradise”. 😈 I cannot make this stuff up.
tim gallagher says
With the level of hatred Muslims have towards the Jews, it could have been dangerous to have that Muslim working with the vulnerable old Jewish woman. islam is a strange, but mainly an evil religion. I mean the idea that a person could fool someone into saying that Muslim prayer in the way he did and think that that would gain god’s approval is bizarre. It is a stupid, primitive religion, but mainly a dangerous one for all non-Muslims. I’m a Christian, not a particularly good one, but a believer and I would consider that a person has to be honest and upfront and talk in an open and honest way and not fool the old woman in the slimy way that this Muslim did. I did work with a Muslim man years ago and he certainly displayed an obsessive hatred for Jewish people and an obsession with them.

somehistory says
to Tim and James,
I heard someone say once that God grades on the curve. However, the Bible says that “God sees what the heart is.” He doesn’t look at one’s heart and decide that the person is not doing all that another can do.
Remember what Jesus said about the slaves being given coins and “doing business” until the King returns; each one is judged by God on what he does with the ability he has.
And the ‘widow with two small coins of very little value, put more in the box than all the others; because she gave all she had.”
If a person gives “all they have”…that is what counts with our Father and His Son.
We should only compare ourselves with Christ….how closely do we **Try** to follow Him?
tim gallagher says
James, since I’m into music and listen to a lot of songs, including some religious, spiritual songs, and There are quite a few such songs that i like, but it has struck me how sure the people who write them seem to be that they are going straight to Heaven. A couple of examples are a song Alison Krauss sings, ” I know who holds tomorrow” and another is a song that Emmylou Harris sings, “All my tears”. There are some others as well. I would like to be that confident, but, like you, I’ll probably be lucky to make it into Heaven, so I wrote my own religious song where I say exactly that, but that I’m hoping I make it one day. Of course, I will plead insanity for some of my sins and faults and I think God might accept that as being the truth since I have, without doubt, been psychotic sometimes.. somehistory, yes, we can only do our best and since the Christian God is very loving and forgiving, maybe I will reach Heaven some day. In another song I wrote I say, “One day I’ll meet my best friend, Jesus”
James Lincoln says
somehistory and tim,
Thank you for your replies.
I guess that all that we can do is to confess our sins, do penance, and do our very best to sin no more…
tim gallagher says
Yes, James, that’s it and hope for the best. At least in Christianity, we believe in a loving God, unlike this vicious allah creature that rules in islam.
somehistory says
Tim and James,
I really feel that those who want to serve our Loving, Forgiving, Merciful God to the best of what they can, **know** He hears our prayers, accepts our pleas to be forgiven, directed and guided, and He will pour out His Spirit as Jesus promised, and about which Paul said, “bears witness with our spirit” that we have God’s blessing.
He said, “If anyone is lacking in faith, let him ask God, for He gives generously and without reproach.”
And James said, “Not doubting at all.” 🙂
OLD GUY says
If you are a muslim who follows or wants to follow islam then live in one of the fine islamic countries around the world. Close your borders to Christians and other religions and live in peace with your fellow Islamic citizens. You don’t have to live in any of the filthy non-islamic countries. SO DON”T, pickup and leave there are flights and ships leaving everyday. Yes we will get over the loss of rape, beatings, murders and violence committed in the name of islam in a short while. Have a safe trip.
tim gallagher says
Spot on, OLD GUY. Of course they won’t go because they are invaders who want to impose islam on all of us, but, if they would piss off, they would not be missed.

To tim gallagher- As per your comment
of today, Feb. 8 at 3:15 am, I think you
sized up the situation very well and it
reveals how Muslims think and plan
their social moves with non-Muslims.
Bizarre. This same Muslim man wanted
me to go to the masjid (mosque) with
him here in Brooklyn, NY but I politely declined. When he spoke the invitation
for me to go with him he said it would
benefit him also. So he was being
honest with me but his aim was to get “Brownie points” from Allah. 😈
