Over at the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom, fan-favorite Dr Nile Gardiner has some staunch advice for Her Majesty’s Government:

[T] the unchallenged appeasement of terrorism by Britain’s Muslim leaders sets a dangerous precedent and will only increase the likelihood of terrorist attacks on British soil. British ministers, as well as leaders of the opposition Conservative Party, should condemn the statements of Muslim leaders linking the actions of homegrown terrorists to the British- and American-led war on terrorism…
At the same time, Britain must redouble its efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, where British, American, and other Allied forces are actively engaged in the fight against al-Qaeda. The war against Islamic fascism will make Britain and the rest of Europe safer and sap the strength of Islamic extremism inside the U.K. The British Government should reject the message of appeasement and remind the U.K.’s Muslim leaders that Britain is a nation at war with a vicious terrorist movement and ideology whose goal is the destruction of the West.

Indeed. Britain needs to show leadership in Europe on this issue. A strong and vigorous British (and it has to be British and seen to be British) initiative is vital at this stage.
