Britain’s Muslim population is estimated at about 1.6 million. The number of 7/7 bombing supporters in the survey jumped from 5% to 13% in just one year. When I did the math, I used 5%, hence the 80,000/4,000/200. Had I counted 13% of that 1.6 million, the number would have been 208,000. Still assuming only 5% are serious when the rubber meets the road, 5% of 208,000 is 10,400. Next, assume only 5% could act effectively, and that’s 520 effective jihadis. However, there are at least 2,000 people just in the UK who have moved from wishful thinking to actively supporting al Qaeda with ties to jihad groups and training camps in Pakistan. So instead of 200, it’s actually ten times that amount. I guess that 5% of the 5% was a wee bit too optimistic.
Evidently the percentage of that 13% of Islamic UK terror supporters (208,000) who are willing to act on their beliefs is much higher. These are just the people who have made the watch lists -
Last week the BBC reported that Britain’s MI5 intelligence service was monitoring at least 2,000 terror suspects in the UK.
Today we learn that report was incorrect. The actual number of Islamic terrorists on MI5’s watch list is closer to 4,000.
Horrifying article on the problem Britain faces from within. To make it even worse, they are reporting that Muslim terrorists are trying to infiltrate the security forces. I guess their policy of Londonistan has backfired….
