I've Been Thinking:

CNN and the BBC have run recent specials on Muslim extremism in England.
The sound bytes are truly frightening.

The BBC piece is the more terrifying of the two.
They went undercover to film and we hear the vitriol and bile being spewed in mosques in England.

We hear of the desire to take over Europe.
We hear an Imam curse Christians and Jews and democracy.

Many of the speakers were until this time thought to be moderates, they are the people we thought would convince the extremists of their mistaken ways.

In the CNN piece Christiane Amanpour walks and talks to an Imam who speaks in perfect English with a perfect British accent.

We hear him say that the only difference between him and his "brother" Osama Bin Ladin is that he believes that the Jihad should be an all out arms war.

We hear him say that their goals are the same.
This should be a wake-up call to the Western world.

We must solve this problem - it is growing, growing fast and growing in our own home towns.
