BRITAIN: Spies to monitor city Muslims
2004-07-13
EFL
BRITAIN will deploy teams of intelligence officers and surveillance experts in cities where it is feared that extremists are radicalising Muslim youth, according to The Times. The internal security service, M15, would fan officers out from its London HQ in a bid to snuff out any incipient terrorist threats within urban Muslim communities, the paper said, citing "government sources".

#5  Any country that wants to survive the onslaught of Islamism had better well be doing just the same, right down to monitoring the content of sermons preached inside Mosques. The Muslims wanted noteriety for their faith, now they have it. Call this "backlash" if you will, I care not. It is time to put them under a really big magnifying glass. If jihadists keep asking for their day in the sun, they'll get it.

#4  I'm surprised MI5 haven't been doing this for years already. Or has political correctness been holding them back?

#3  The UK could save itself the predictably huge and growing huger costs of monitoring "any incipient terrorist threats within urban Muslim communities" if it would put a kabosh on the Labor government's loosey goosey refugee&immigration policies. Think, think...what would Churchill do if faced with the same problem? What Blair is doing is avoiding acknowledging that his liberal "let's turn the UK into a UN looking country" is patently stupid and dangerous especially re: opening the floodgates holus bolus to every Third World Muslim under the sun. Address the cause, not the effects, eh, Tony?

#2  Why not make it a law that every prayer broadcast has to be taped? Then make it a law that anyone who calls for violence in a religous institution should then be thrown in jail or deported.
