DISPATCHES: BRITAIN UNDER ATTACK
Monday 6 August 2007
8:00pm
With Britain facing a ’severe’ level of terror threat, Dispatches investigates the roots of Islamic extremism in the UK and examines the government’s attempts to win the battle for British Muslims’ hearts and minds. Reporter Phil Rees, an expert on Islamist violence, explores the Koranic teachings that lie behind the concept of jihad and examines Muslim fury over Western foreign policy. He meets the clerics who justify and encourage attacks on British soil and analyses the government’s response: to de-politicise Islam and to silence radical views.

The fuss about ‘Islamic’ extremism was a red herring laid by Bush and Blair in their Christian crusade. It hides the real issues, which stretch back to the appalling way that the US supports Israel in holding Palestinians prisoners in their own land. IMHO.

There was some old man on there telling the Muslims “Heathrow is that way” funny guy!! Heathrow is the same airport where this country steals other countries treasures and brings them in. You think that this country doesn’t benifit financially from Iraq and Afganistan!!?? 2 words 3 letters, B A E & O I L

Nah, its not Britain’s foreign policy that created this mess rather its Britains domestic policy.
Allowing in hundreds of thousands if not millions of low intelligence immigrants from such unenlightened corrupt and bloodthirsty failing cultures such as Pakistan and the Arab world whose religion is frankly imperialist and genocidal is the reason for the 7/7 attacks.
As for Heathrow being the point of entry for goods ’stolen’ from other countries, it is the same point of entry for those who come to steal from our welfare state.
