CarolC - This all started with 9·11, remember; which happened there, not here or anywhere else but NY & DC. It is suspected the 9·11 bombers, on arrival, must have had some help from indigenous US Muslims, tho as all are dead there has been no way of establishing that. If those you refer to, here or elsewhere, began to show any glimmer of potential success with their 'Jihad', supposedly Koranically-enjoined, in establishing their 'Caliphate', do you think every Muslim in USA would be so content with his lot that not a single one would rejoice or leap on the 'Caliphate-bandwagon', Stateswide? Do you think that if a small group of our dissidents from Bradford or Luton came over there to have a go at another '9·11', they wouldn't be primed with a list of 'safe houses' of like-thinking US Muslims where they could go & put finishing touches to their plans becoz not a single US Muslim, being all so prosperous and content, would dream of joining in such a 'Universal·Caliphate' project? Remember that the point of such subversive activities as these needs only be very, very small: half-a-dozen like-minded Muslims in the whole of NYC would be plenty for their purposes - do you really think no such exists whatever?

Forgive me if I say that it seems to me that, in saying as you appear to be, that it's all our problem not yours, and that it couldn't happen there becoz you have such happy Muslims that not a single one would dream of joining in, you are being unbelievably complacent in the face of what is a real threat — to all of you over there as much as to anyone else in the world. I say again: persist in that thinking if you like; but I think you are in for a rude shock before too many days will have passed.
