Exporting Terrorism: A New Dimension to Islamism in Britain

For centuries, violent Muslims have been trying to capture Europe forIslam. Sweeping out from its origin in Saudi Arabia, Islam has expandedthrough violent conquest into North Africa, the Middle and Near East,and very nearly into Europe itself, attacking through Spain, Italy, andthe Balkans. Each time, the Islamic hordes were turned back by a unitedEuropean military effort.

The British National Party is on recordas being the only party to identify the real cause of terrorism inmodern Britain, namely the importation of a large Third World immigrantpopulation from which the Islamists can recruit, and a foreign policywhich inflames the entire Muslim world against Britain.

These two policies – implemented bysuccessive Tory and Labour regimes – have come home to roost in thehundreds of terrorism arrests in Britain over the last few years, andthe terrorist attacks in London and Glasgow.

New information has revealed that thereare so many violent Islamist extremists in Britain that we are  nowexporting them to Pakistan, Bangladesh and Somalia.

According to a new report, more than4,000 Muslims living in Britain have travelled to Pakistan andAfghanistan for military training. Security experts quoted by anewspaper have “warned that extremists training in Bangladesh couldpose a major threat to Britain, adding that the south-Asian country hasbecome a safe haven” for terrorists.

According to the report, rising numbersof “British-born fundamentalists are travelling to Bangladesh (formerlyEast Pakistan) for jihadist training.”

A security source in Bangladesh toldthe newspaper that “the Chittagong Hill Tracts in the south, and theland along the Indian border in east Bangladesh, including around thetown of Sylhet – the home of many Bangladeshi British expats – werebeing investigated as possible bases for jihadist training camps.”

UK security sources confirmed to themedia that they “have stepped up surveillance of Bangladesh afterseeing spikes in travel to the country.

These corresponded to UK terror plotsbeing foiled – as when twelve  suspects were arrested in the north-westof England in April, when scrutiny of travel to Pakistan was at itsmost intense.

“The sources also found that BritishMuslim extremists travelling to Bangladesh often have links to Asia,and travel into the country via third countries, such as South Africaand Sri Lanka,” the report said.

The head of a British-based charity,Green Crescent, was arrested in Bangladesh after bomb-making equipmentwas found at a school run by the group.
