Following last year’s failed bomb attacks in London’s West End and at Glasgow Airport, Prof. Martin Innes, of the Universities’ Police Science Institute in Cardiff, led researchers in carrying out personal interviews with more than 600 Muslims in cities in the UK. The team found that increasing numbers of young Muslims have become so disconnected from mainstream British society that they could lend their support to Islamic terrorists. Whereas most do not accept violence, many distrust police and are loathe to inform on extremists.
