However, there are a highly disproportionate number who haven't and have no intention of doing. They admit that themselves. There only mission here is to transform our society into a Muslim caliphate under Shariah law. One of them Anjem Choudary is due for release from jail this year to continue his campaign for this very purpose. Illegal Shariah patrols are already active in many boroughs and there are areas where even the police will not go without first consulting the local imam.
We need to forget this so called left/right political divide that everybody keeps trying to protect and actually realise that we want the same thing. Sometimes we can spend more time and energy in trying to defend standpoints which are expected of the left/right norm rather than coming together and making a stand together for things which both sides of the political fence actually want. How about we remove the fence, forget left and right and start looking at a moral way of dealing with things so that everybody benefits. The political elite want us divided because then, they can get away with things that otherwise would be called out and confronted. When the people come together, they hold the whip hand. For most people all we want is to live in a peaceful Country where we're safe , have a good opportunity to live comfortably, work hard, get paid, have enough to pay our bills with a bit extra and know that our kids and grand kids will be afforded those same opportunities. I would be cast as right wing (possibly far right by today's standards) but I won't let anyone squeeze me into a box.
