Con Coughlin is seriously concerned about Islamist extremism in Britain. It turns out that the Stokholm suicide bomber, who killed two people, spent several years studying in the town of Luton in the UK. The town has had a well-documented Muslim problem for a while. But the police’s response at the time was to arrest anti-Muslim protestors. So Taimur Abdulwahab al-Abdaly is just the latest and deadliest example of how easily jihadists can live and operate in Britain. “When is the government going to wake up to the fact that we have a really serious problem on our hands here?” Couglin asks. “In the video he made before carrying out his mission Abdaly claimed that an Islamic state had already been established in Europe. “We are a reality. I don’t want to say more about this. Our actions will speak for themselves,” he declared.
“While I personally doubt that the Islamic Crescent is about to replace the Union Jack, there is little doubt that it is the ultimate objective of the Islamist extremists who appear to be able to be operate within our shores with totaly impunity.”
