The UK government seems to have a love/hate relationship with itself.

Some days it wants to survive, and some days it apparently couldn’t care less.

In Britain, Islamist extremist Anjem Choudary proves elusive

by Griff Witte

LONDON — As British war planes arc through Middle Eastern skies and security services race to unravel terrorist plots at home, the nation’s most prominent propagandist for the Islamic State sits in a London sweets shop, laying out his radical vision between bites of dessert.

Iraq and Syria, Anjem Choudary says confidently, are only the beginning. The Islamic State’s signature black flag will fly over 10 Downing Street, not to mention the White House. And it won’t happen peacefully, but only after a great battle that is now underway.

“We believe there will be complete domination of the world by Islam,” says the 47-year-old, calmly sipping tea and looking none the worse for having been swept up in a police raid just days earlier. “That may sound like some kind of James Bond movie — you know, Dr. No and world domination and all that. But we believe it.”

The one great thing about Islam is that at least it has the courtesy to tell you they’re going to dominate you, convert you, or kill you.

But even as a coalition that includes Britain and the United States wages war on the Islamic State, Choudary and other enablers remain free to spread their seductively messianic ideology on the streets of the United Kingdom and globally, through the Internet. They do so by taking advantage of the very rights they condemn as un-Islamic and by using their considerable charisma to lure lost souls.

And there you go.

Our strengths are our greatest weaknesses.

Question: would this nation ever condone such an individual advocating so publicly a demise to our nation as this?
