Let’s say you are an “affluent, middle-class Muslim” with “technical and professional qualifications… particularly [an] engineering and IT degree” and spent thousands of dollars and a lot of time obtaining said degree at a British university. Does it make sense to believe you would throw all this hard work and money away and join al-Qaeda after encountering “extremist recruiters” on campus? No, it makes no sense—but then, when it comes to rational thought in regard to Muslims, there seems to be a scarcity these days. “Extremists are known to target schools and colleges where young people may be very inquisitive but less challenging and more susceptible to extremist reasoning/ arguments,” a “leaked” Whitehall document claims (in other words, it was deliberately released to the corporate media, hungry for dirt on Muslims in the wake of the London bombings, acts as of yet unattributed—unless you consider a post on a so-called “Islamist web site” message board attribution—although of course the immediate assumption was al-Qaeda, whatever that means). The Home Office and Foreign Office dossier contains a caveat: “Most of the Al-Qaeda recruits tend to be loners ‘attracted to university clubs based on ethnicity or religion’ because of ‘disillusionment with their current existence’. British-based terrorists are made up of different ethnic groups, according to the documents.” Let’s call it the Lee Harvey Oswald School of Muslim Fanaticism. Oswald was a loner too. Even so, according to the Brits, this translates into “16,000 potential terrorists and supporters.” 16,000 Oswalds! Can you see where this is going? Muslims will be detained and sent packing. “There’s a sufficient number of people in this country willing to be Islamic terrorists that they don’t have to be drafted in from abroad,” Lord Stevens, a former London police chief, told the Sunday Times. In other words, Merry Old England is crawling with Jihadist Oswalds.
