UK - "still in denial over homegrown terror threat"

Sadly, this is true.

Read the whole thing but here's the conclusion.

Such a state of denial goes far beyond the Left. The political and security establishment still refuses to grasp that it is not enough — vital though this is — to thwart terrorist plots and break up terrorist cells. Action also needs to be taken against the paranoid, hate-filled ideas driving so many to these terrible acts.

Since the new law came into effect last March outlawing the ‘glorification of terrorism’, however, not one extremist preacher has been charged — even though several have made inflammatory comments and even incited murder.

Virtually nothing is being done to prevent the recruitment to terror still taking place on university campuses, which have long acted as hotbeds of radicalisation, or in prisons or youth clubs.

Even worse, Islamic extremists have been recruited into the very heart of Whitehall as government advisers, in the wholly misguided belief that appeasing religious fanaticism will draw its venom.

And although ministers are speaking more bluntly about the failure of multiculturalism, the Government’s recent shameful retreat from its promised action against forced marriages shows once again how this, too, is all talk and no action.

Truly moderate Muslims are desperate for this policy of appeasement to end. The Government should listen to them. This country still has its eyes shut — and its enemies know it.

Worse still, is rampant Muslim appeasemen in Britain.
