#1 But these are so well integrated into the Muslim community in Britain that it is very difficult to find them, say intelligence sources. Some of these suspects are said to be British citizens.

In other words, British Muslims are so radical that al'Qaeda loons mix right in.

#2 If the Muslim community accepts and protects them then there is no reason to tolerate it

#3 In other words, British Muslims are so radical that al'Qaeda loons mix right in.

That's a bit OTT, RC. A bit like saying the entire British Irish community were "radical" because the IRA operated sleeper cells in the UK for decades (and still operates a few comatose ones), occasionally sheltered by Irish sympathisers. There are radical elements of British Muslim soceity, but that term doesn't apply to the majority.

#4 The term "cells" implies the need for secrecy due to practices that regular folks would not approve of. You never hear radical groups in Pakistan refered to as "cells."

#5 I would check the people who were in trafalgar square and the leaders such as "300k from Saddam" Galloway and Tariq Ali. Like the italians raising money for AQ in Iraq, they "probably" think they are doing the right thing. They would probably cheer on such an attack.
