There is indeed.
Whilst there is no way in hell this country is ever going to become a Sharia Jihadist State(and no serious person believes this is possible no matter how much the Choudrays of this world want it) there is a very worrying upsurge in "radical" or ultra conservative Islamic thinking in this country that is slowly creeping in by stealth in many aspects of our society.The abuses in the school system is just one example, muslim patrols in London another,there are countless other examples which on their own might appear trivial and isolated but when viewed as a whole concerns me. It should also worry muslims in this country who dont subscribe to the more radical conservative aspect of their religion.
I have lived through times in this country when people have been scared of the IRA and nuclear war but in my opinion the threat of radical islam today is the greatest threat we have ever faced in modern times.Not because of the terrorist threat in the Uk from extremists(this can be beaten),not because of knobs like Hamza or Choudary(they can be beaten as well)but its a creeping thinking ideology and values from a section of society that seems hell bent on confrontation with British values......and i am concerned they will achieve their aim with the consequence of massive civil unrest.
I would like to think its not a large majority who cant see whats going on but rather a vocal minority. The growing number of news articles on the subject and even threads on NSC would suggest to even the biggest apologist there are concerns in this country and yet you are right there are still individuals who will try to silence complainers and portray anyone who raises these concerns as bigots or racists.
One thing is for certain there is no way in hell its even possible for moderate muslims and non muslims to join together and to address this problem if there continues to be planks denying it,burying their head in the sand and saying oh well "these extremists are not really muslims anyway"
Quite agree, the difficulty for people who can see these side of things is trying to explain to the people who can't. Lived in Luton on and off for 10 years, I noticed a change. The fact I saw more women adopting the burqa over that time said to me that a more hard line, coservative form of Islam was being observed, either imported through immigration, or adopted by our own people. Don't get me wrong, I never had a single problem, however as a non believer you begin to feel out of place because culturally this is on the other end of the scale to what you are used too, and as more of the original people sold up and left the street the whole road ended up taking on a completely different culture. I'm glad I left in the end.
