The liberals in England don't get it.

I am always amazed by the stupidity of people who are willing to embrace those who wish to destroy them.

Britain's culture of tolerating radicalism is in the national interest and should not be swept away by the urge to get tough.

But the "covenant of security" and the British approach to tolerating radicalism is not just an expression of political correctness. It serves some hard-headed national purposes. It recognises that there is not one but several Muslim communities among the 1.5 million Muslims in Britain, all with their own national norms and attitudes to culture and assimilation. Self-policing and a better relationship with the police, working with the grain of different national and religious minorities, is fundamental to preventing our gentleman-amateur suicide bombers from becoming figureheads for a national revolt among Muslim youth.

Do the national norms and cultural assimilation include the bombing and murder of innocent British citizens? Good Grief!
