down their mosques and throw them all in jail and make 'em knit
sweaters for British troops. You don't allow insurgency
recruiting in your country, period. Would the Brits have allowed
Nazi rallies during the Blitz? But oh no, we've got to be all
touchy-feely about the radical Islamists. Screw 'em. Make it
known that if they join militant Islamic groups they'll either
end up dead or knitting sweaters for the soldiers.
