THIS is the introduction to a piece which appeared in the 06/01/07 issue of The Spectator:
'In 2007, Britain will almost certainly be the chief testing ground of the attempt by radical Muslims to gain more power and influence in Western society.Read the rest of the article, if you dare, here.
'The United States, too, is threatened by militant Islam - not least by the prospect of terrorist attacks on its own territory - but the problem in the United Kingdom is much greater. In America, radical Islamists have used civil rights legislation and the habits of multicultural courtesy to gain advantages that might not be available to them in Europe. At any rate there has been no debate there about niqab or face-covering. Britain, however, gives the impression of a society approaching a fork in its historical road: either toward more 'Islamization' of the broader society or toward a powerful backlash as Britons grow increasingly troubled by the apparent forcible dilution of the majority culture.'
