The British are living in a fantasy world. Al Qaida per se was never the problem. It's the Jihadis, it's those "nice people" the British imported from Pakistan. It doesn't matter under what name and umbrella they act. The whole ideology comes directly from that murderous religion. Any attempt to criticize and any attempt from the inside to reform or interpret (to a less aggressive form) is met with fierce violence.
Welcome to Islamberg USA, home of your friendly Jihadi neighbor. Jooooos not welcome
The ass-wipe who would not answer questions on camera claims to have converted in a US-Airforce base. I doubt it, but if true - it's a cause for concern. Jihadis are recruiting from within the airforce?

Quiet Muslim-Only Town in N.Y. Founded by Alleged Terrorist(Muslim only town? Aren't there federal laws against discrimination in real estate?)
HANCOCK, N.Y. — If you didn't know where to look, you'd probably never find Islamberg, a private Muslim community in the woods of the western Catskills, 150 miles northwest of New York City.
The town, sitting on a quiet dirt road past a gate marked with No Trespassing signs, is home to an estimated 100 residents. There are small houses and other buildings visible from the outside, but it is what can't be seen from beyond the gate that has some watchers worried.
Islamberg was founded in 1980 by Sheikh Syed Mubarik Ali Shah Gilani, a Pakistani cleric who purchased a 70-acre plot and invited followers, mostly Muslim converts living in New York City, to settle there.
The town has its own mosque, grocery store and schoolhouse. It also reportedly has a firing range where residents take regular target practice. Gilani established similar rural enclaves across the country — at least six, including the Red House community in southern Virginia — though some believe there are dozens of them, all operating under the umbrella of the "Muslims of the Americas" group founded by Gilani.
Federal authorities say Gilani was also one of the founders of Jamaat al-Fuqra, a terrorist organization believed responsible for dozens of bombings and murders across the U.S. and abroad. The group was linked to the planning of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and 10 years earlier a member was arrested and later convicted for bombing a hotel in Portland, Ore.
Shoe bomber Richard Reid has been linked to the group, along with convicted D.C. sniper John Allen Muhammad. But it is Sheikh Gilani who creates the most controversy and concern.
Gilani has told his followers that "Zionist plotters" plan to rule the world, and he encourates them to leave America's cities and avoid the "decadence of a godless society." Gilani is the man American reporter Daniel Pearl was trying to interview in Pakistan when he was kidnapped and beheaded. The Sheikh was taken into custody and later released by Pakistani authorities; he denies any involvement in Pearl's murder.
