At war with ourselves and Islam.

The problem with Britain is that the culture is not based on freedom but is based on the philosophy that the authority of government prevails over the individual. That being so, there is no fundamental difference in being ruled by the government and being ruled by the church or mosque. Until this philosophical error is rectified, we can expect Islamic terrorism to continue unabated.
