I had trouble opening the page (From the Telegraph), so I am quoting a few bits here:
Britain now presents a greater security threat to the United States than Iran or Iraq, an American magazine said yesterday.
In an article on Islamists headlined "Kashmir on the Thames", the New Republic painted Britain's Muslim communities as a breeding ground for violent extremism.
Citing recent opinion poll evidence suggesting that one in four British Muslims believed that last year's London Tube bombings were justified, the magazine said: "In the wake of this month's high-profile arrests, it can now be argued that the biggest threat to US security emanates not from Iran or Iraq or Afghanistan, but rather from Great Britain, our closest ally."
[...]
Other publications and the think-tanks that shape public debate in America have also issued stern criticism both of Britain's Muslims and of the Government. Nile Gardiner, of the Right-wing Heritage Foundation, told The Daily Telegraph yesterday that Americans were coming to view Britain as "a hornet's nest of Islamic extremists" and thought it posed ''a direct security threat to the US".
He said that if British-based terrorism continues, America is likely to respond harshly.
[...]
Peace.
Peace glo
Here I stand.
I can do no other.
May God help me.
Amen.

i think its highly overrated. the media does highlight when that one man is convicted of terrorism and when men are *caught* but sldom highlight those men being freed. if makes you think theres loads of terrorists around but we dont hear of them being released without charge
to be honest i think american media is whack!
Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
America seemed to be the driving force behind the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, thousands of civilians are reported to have died. All these victims must have friends and relatives who feel they died unjustly. America and Britain have created a whole new generation of potential terrorists by their action.
America and Britain must be very naïve to believe that their actions would not have any repercussions, we reap what we sow. The world seems a very fearful place to live.
There isn't any doubt that Europe has become a hotspot for radicalism. I'm not sure I understand the "Britain is the greatest threat" statement, but there are definitely terrorist threats in Britain. Although I worry more about the radicalism in Canada than Britain.
Just kidding...I get at what they're pointing out, but as I'll always say, Hate breeds Hate.
"This world is a blank price tag, and whatever value you put on it, is what its worth to you. I have made this world priceless and worthless, so therefore I have placed my value in the afterlife."
That's bolony. No way that they will have a war with a country that's 500 000 000km away.
Not even in 1776 or 1812 when it was fought without machinery. Also I believe New York is closer to London than it is to either Hawaii, Alaska or even Souther California.
It is only about 4,000 miles from the US east coast to the UK. A lot closer than Afghanistan, or Iraq.
But, I do not see any major threat or any reason to believe there will be hostilities between the US and the UK.
Like what already been mentioned, our actions have helped give the incentive for terrorists to increase. Our war on terroism has caused the very things it was supposed to prevent.
the above is another reason to jusify this act>>>>>>>>>The UK has recently introduced a national Internet censorship scheme, a national ID card and is about to spend 12 billion pounds pushing the British population's web-searches, emails, sms messages and telephone callings records through a central database run by its spy agency, GCHQ. This month saw a secret UK court hearing, with secret participants, produce a secret order to secretly gag the population, the terms of which are secret and the revelation of which is punishable by up to 15 years of imprisonment.

I am sorry to say this but the biggest centre of muslim political indoctrination is placed in Pakistan. The UK has about 1,5 million os Pakistanis abroad. If even
5 000 of them are willing to sacrifice their life to attack USA, its a big problem. Its just the reality based on facts.
This country is dying because of a lack of men, not a lack of programs.
