  • They have moved their base of operations to the UK. Birmingham and Luton are the epicentre
  • @DPK12

    Now ask yourself if all the islamists in Britain is worth reporting on.
  • @LayLoow

  • @narendra62
    This is Muhammed's legacy folks. Learn, understand and repel his teachings.
  • There hiding in Canada not even hiding our government is soooo fucked😢
  • How about an interview with people who understand the Middle East.. like people from the Middle East. The BBC is yet to interview Dalia Ziada about her book ‘The Three Legged Wolf’ as far as I am aware. Also Jasmine Mohammed about her work through her organisation ‘Free Hearts, Free Minds’, as well as Armin Navabi and his work through Atheist Republic. It’s not sufficient to pussyfoot around the risks here any more. It’s absolutely possible to communicate the real risks of extremism including in the west without demonising Muslims in general.
  • It's ideology is Saudi in origins so it cannot be defeated in outer countries
  • @Pinkbunnylaw
