On January 20, Dr. Daniel Pipes participated in a public debate with Ken Livingstone, mayor of London. During this debate, Dr. Pipes quoted former Home Secretary David Blunkett, who wrote in 2003 that "Britain remains a significant base for supporting terrorism."

Dr. Pipes said: "British-based terrorists have carried out operations in at least 15 countries, going from East to West ... Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kenya, Tanzania, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iraq, Jordan, Israel, Algeria, Morocco, Russia, France, Spain and the United States. I give you one example from the United States - this was Richard Reid, the British shoe bomber."

He quoted from American authors who wrote in 2006 that: "The biggest threat to US security emanates not from Iraq, not from Iran, not from Afghanistan, but rather from Great Britain", and concurred: "And I believe this is the tip of the iceberg."

That Britain should be the biggest threat to the US is, sadly, true. Britain has allowed radical Muslims to preach in the country for two decades, influencing successive generations of Muslim youth.

It is well-established that Britain contains a greater proportion of radical Islamists than any other Western country. These radicals have been allowed to preach openly and in many cases, to flout the law. Where European Muslims tend to be less contemptuous of the countries in which they live, Muslims in Britain are the least adjusted within Europe.

A survey by Populus in July 2006 found that 7% of UK Muslims thought that, in some circumstances, it was justifiable to have suicide attacks against British civilians. 13% felt that the suicide bombers who killed 52 people on 7 July 2005 should be viewed as "martyrs". 16% thought the 7/7 attacks were wrong but happened for right reasons. 16% said that if a family member joined Al Qaeda they would be "indifferent".

A poll in February 2006, carried out by ICM for the Sunday Telegraph found that 42% of Muslims polled wanted sharia law to be introduced in Britain, and 20% felt sympathy with the July 7 bombers' motives.

The problems of Britain's burgeoning Islamist extremism have been blamed on many factors. Most recently a report by the Policy Exchange think-tank entitled Living Apart Together claimed that multiculturalism is to blame. Published on Monday, a poll in the report found that nearly a third of Muslims aged 16-24 thought that anyone who left Islam should be "executed".

On the same day, David Cameron, head of the Conservative (Tory) party argued in a speech in Birmingham: "So multiculturalism has come to mean an approach which focuses on what divides us rather than what brings us together.... It lies behind mistakes like the police allowing some of the protestors against the Danish cartoons last year to publicly incite violence."

The Tory party produced a report on Tuesday, entitled Uniting the Country in which the Muslim Council of Britain, which has been deferred to by the Blair government, was blamed for allowing "hardline members... to dominate policy and crowd out more moderate voices." Dame Pauline Neville-Jones, former head of the Joint Intelligence Committee, criticized the MCB for its support of the Islamist Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi of the Muslim Brotherhood.
