by doing more to make all communities feel that they have a stake in the country where they live
What does "doing more" mean. They are not discriminated or persecuted. If anything its the opposite, they are protected and promoted. The problem is many do not identify themselves as British nor do they share our culture and values.
As for history, people were right to fear the immigrants before. They did depress wages. Why pay more wages when the emp=loyers can get an immigrant to do the job. As for assimilation, the Irish Poles and other European immigrants assimilated because they shared the Christian culture. The muslim do not assimilate because they do not share the same culture. English government argued for multicilturalism for decades and now it has proved to be a failure have done a U turn and argue for assimilation. I went to Uni in Bradford. Its evidence of failure not success.
This is a favourite story for the tabloids, but the people whose job it is to know, the security services, don't agree.
And how do you know they dont agree. They don't tell do they and the PC means they could not anyway. Where do the radicals hand out there pamphlets. On the street maybe, the street in front of the mosque. Its logical place to advertise.
As for the mosques what happens is after prayers people stay at the moque to talk about religion. This makes it an ideal meeting and recruitment place. If you are a radical go to any mosque anywhere in the world, hang around after prayers and you will hook up and into the local radicals. This is not rocket science. Churches have historically been the meeting place. Papist, mafia, spies whispering in the pews.
Moderate immans and muslims know what's going on but say nothing for obvious reasons. Extreme immans encourage radicalism. Belgium had mosques funded by Saudi. Part of the deal was that Saudi would pay for mosques on condition they staffed by Saudi clerics. This mean radical extreme Islam was imported. And the result today is ...
I am not making this up. Its known and reported. Governments and muslims play it down for fear of attacks on mosques.
