Establishment journalist Melanie Phillips has once again sounded a warning about the creeping Islamification of Britain, pointing out that Islamists are given free reign to organise and plot in this country.
In a recent issue of her column in one of the daily rags, Ms Phillips — no friend of the BNP — discussed how ridiculous it was that an Islamist extremist who “has been designated a terrorist by the United Nations” lives freely in Britain despite clear al Qaeda connections.
“It’s what’s called in Britain ‘preserving our society’s core values’. Yes, we can all be so proud and relieved that we live in Londonistan,” Ms Phillips wrote.
She went on to point out how “many in Britain even now remain unwilling to believe the true nature and seriousness of the Islamic terrorist threat to the UK.”
“Warnings by the security world of the grievous threat still posed by al Qaeda and its affiliates, working through an estimated two to four thousand radicalised young British Muslims, are often treated as politicised scare-mongering,” Ms Phillips wrote.
“Why are the British still allowing major terrorism suspects to be at liberty in the UK? The Times also reported: [Ringleader Abdullah Ahmed Ali] had been under surveillance since late in 2005 when he was identified as a member of a circle of young British radicals gathered around a charismatic East London ‘missionary’, believed to be an al Qaeda recruiter. That man, who has been designated a terrorist by the United Nations but who lives freely in Britain, had connections with terrorist cells, including the group led by Muktar Said Ibrahim that tried to carry out suicide bombings in London on July 21, 2005.
“Why is such a man (known for legal reasons only as ‘Gabs’) ‘living freely in Britain’?” Ms Phillips wrote.
“As the Guardian reported: A naturalised British citizen born in Syria, ‘Gabs’ lives in east London. He was tried and acquitted of a terrorist offence in 2004 but is accused by US authorities of a string of terrorism-related offences. They say he provided ‘material and logistical support to al-Qaida and other terrorist organisations’ and facilitated ‘travel for recruits seeking to meet with al-Qaida leaders and take part in terrorist training’.
“They also accuse him of having been ‘in regular contact with UK-based Islamist extremists, involved in the radicalising of individuals in the UK through the distribution of extremist media’ and of having trained at jihadi camps run by a militant Kashmiri group.
“Have the British authorities really learned nothing since they allowed ‘Londonistan’ to grow under their noses in the 1990s?
“Don’t all answer at once. Even as the airline plot jury was returning its messy verdicts came further evidence that, while the police struggle to achieve guilty verdicts in terrorist criminal trials, the English judiciary has made it all but impossible to detain foreign terrorist suspects or throw them out of the country.
“As the Times has reported, after the release from virtual house arrest of a man regarded as one of Britain’s most dangerous terror suspects to avoid disclosing secret evidence against him, the British government is set to release all such detainees from their detention under ‘control orders’ — which were only introduced because the English courts ruled that it was a breach of their human rights to hold such people in prison pending deportation; which was in turn only introduced because the courts ruled that deporting them to countries with a lower standard of human rights than the UK — ie, the rest of the world — was also a breach of their human rights.
“The airline plot was supposed to be only the start of ‘floods of martyr operations’ on tourist attractions, nuclear power stations and gas plants. And Whitehall officials have said al Qaeda is likely to try again to use aircraft to attack the West.
“But hey — if you are such a terrorist you know that in Britain you won’t be deported, locked up or, as of now, even placed under house arrest, all on the basis that if there’s any evidence against you there must be a trial; in which as things stand you would have a good chance of walking free — unless of course British intelligence has decided that you are such a great terrorist that you should not be detained or arrested so they can watch you 24/7 as you recruit, train, mastermind and incite others to the cause of jihad,” she wrote.

Excalibur has acquired a stock of this Times bestseller, now with a new chapter. For years, Britain pretended to be tough on terrorism, while invading two countries. But when it was hit by the 7/7 suicide bombers, the secret was out. Having looked the other way since 1989, Britain has become the hub for Islamist terror throughout Europe and beyond, In Londonistan, Melanie Phillips reveals herself as that typical breed of journalist who can identify the problem in great detail, but is obvious in her inability to address the cause of the problem, namely Third World immigration. This flaw aside, Londonistan gives a revealing insight into the Islamist threat facing Britain — and the establishment’s refusal to deal with it. Paperback, 336 pages
