BBC non-propaganda item of the day

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6687851.stm

Very very interesting article. There seems to be a growing consensus between ex-jihadi's, honest politicians, counter-terrorism experts and a slim part of the right in Britain about the precise nature and extent of the threat.

'During his teenage years, he became involved in Hizb ut-Tahrir, a global political movement that calls for a single Islamic state across the Middle East. At the time it was headed by Omar Bakri Mohammed, before he formed Al Muhajiroun, a banned radical group whose name has featured heavily in recent terror trials.'

'...Until we start dealing with the underlying Islamist ideology - challenging it head on with a well-thought out defence of both British values and the real messages of Islam - then we will not deal with the jihadis.'

The great unwashed PC brigades manage to maintain their fantasy delusions about how George Bush invented/created Islamism in the face of clear, specific information from ex-jihadis. That should scare anyone who believes that human beings are essentially rational.

This is the first time I have read an article on the BBC website that does not toe the party line about the Religion of Peace. Long may it continue.
