How many Western professors are devoting their scholarly acumen, ever so politically incorrectly, to analysing the enduring threat of Islamist terror?

Midst these few, according to CTV News, Cambridge University historian Christopher Andrew stands out. Having been given access to 400,000 files by MI5, Britain’s domestic spy service, he recently wrote an official account of the 100-year history of the organization, “The Defence of the Realm.”

Andrew concludes that the spy agency, which has only clued into the threat of Islamist terrorism in the last 20 years, has for now tapered off, but that devoted hard-core terrorists remain a threat in the foreseeable future.
