Lax Borders and Muslim Terrorists James H. Walsh The botched London and Glasgow bombings plotted by Muslim terrorists in late June have many in Britain complaining of lax borders. Meanwhile, in the United States, not only lax but open borders advocates attempt to rationalize and downplay the British bombing plots. Why? Because they fear that U.S. citizens may one day awaken to the realization that open borders aid and abet terrorist attacks. Lax borders in the United Kingdom enabled the London-Glasgow terrorists, just as open borders in the United States enabled the World Trade Center (WTC) terrorists in 1993 and 2001. The 19 WTC bombers were illegal aliens, some of whom overstayed their visas, while others used fraudulent documents. In the years leading up to 9/11, they were able to move with ease in and out of the United States. Today, six years later, rather than address the national security threats of illegal entry, the failed 2007 "comprehensive immigration reform" legislation would have further eased access to the United States for jihadists. Three Muslim cyber-terrorists, being held in the U.K., have admitted to running a radical Web site funded by a money-laundering scheme. On the Web site, police found a message about a plot involving 45 doctors determined to take their battle inside the United States. The first target to be penetrated by using car bombs and rocket grenades was the U.S. Naval station at Mayport near Jacksonville, Fla. Mayport is the home base of the carrier, USS John F. Kennedy. Despite these admissions of guilt, British newsmedia and immigration apologists give a politically correct, knee-jerk response by portraying Muslim terrorists as victims of poverty and unemployment even those with university training. Other excuses for terrorist activity include discontent with the war in Iraq and Afghanistan; opposition to the treatment of Muslims in Bosnia, Kashmir, and Palestine; the secularism of the West; the British knighting of Salman Rushie; and U.K. support of the United States and Israel. The apologists, for instance, refuse to admit that the London-Glasgow bombers are motivated by religious zeal and adherence to the teachings of the Quran, even though one of the bombers doused himself with gasoline and cried out, "Allahu, Allahu, Allahu."

Lenient U.K. immigration policies during the past 47 years, combined with a secularist see-no-evil mentality, have immersed Britain in a reign of terror that makes the Muslim riots in France look like child's play. The Al-Qaida jihad against Britain was instigated by Dhiren Barot, a Hindu from Kenya who converted to Islam in 1992. Like most terrorists, he used several aliases. Today Barot is serving a 30-year sentence in the U.K. for conspiracy to murder and various counts of possession of documents likely to be used to commit terrorism. In addition to introducing limo bombs (gas-filled limousines designed to kill large numbers of people), he helped develop radiological techniques now part of the terrorist arsenal. According to British Security Service estimates, at least 4,000 recruited terrorists are currently in the U.K.; some are British citizens (cradle or naturalized), and others are legal and illegal aliens. Many are radical Islamists who operate through some 30 active terror cells. British mosques appear to be breeding grounds for home-grown terrorists, just as universities in Muslim countries are educating transnational terrorists. Non-Muslim Brits are beginning to acknowledge that lax immigration and the resultant "multiculturalism" are creating an uncharacteristic undercurrent in Britain, an undercurrent that bespeaks a Third-World intolerant mentality. Non-Muslim Brits criticize the Labour Party, the Scottish National Party (SNP), the Lib-Dem Party, and other political groups for their failure to condemn the recent bombings a failure motivated by the wish to placate "Muslim votes." Increasingly criticisms of the lax immigration policies in Britain appear in letters to the editor in U.K. newspapers and even on the BBC. The British people now challenge claims that the causes of home-grown and foreign Islamic terrorism are poverty, discrimination, foreign policy grievances, religious intolerance, and "racism." Seven of the eight arrests made following the London-Glasgow terrorism were of non-citizens all working as medical personnel in the British National Health Service. Other U.K. Muslim terrorist cells, recently exposed, consist mostly of foreign-born Muslims. Each year, an estimated 60,000 young people from the UK travel to Muslim countries, especially Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kenya, and Saudi Arabia. Security experts agree that the London-Glasgow car bombs were Barot variations of textbook Al-Qaeda techniques perfected in Iraq. The question remains, how many of these 60,000 young people are being trained in explosives? Lax borders allow terrorists easy access to the U.K., as the constant drumbeat of liberal newsmedia and politicians (European and American) lament the victimization of Muslims in Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan, by the West. This drumbeat fuels the jihadist preaching of Imams who quote the Quran: "Muslims must present non-Muslims with three choices conversion, submission with second-class status under Islamic rule (shari'ah), or death" (Sura 9:29 of the Quran). Islamic terrorists consider the U.K., with its lax borders and multiculturalism, to be the weakest link in the West; if so, then, Holland, France, and Spain cannot be far behind. A Dutch Minster of Justice spoke for all secular-humanist Europeans, when he declared: "If a majority of Dutchmen opt for the Shariah (Islamic law) at some future date, this has to be respected." His declaration reflects ill-advised appeasement. With 20 million Muslims in Europe today and their birth rate the highest and fastest growing, it is easy to envision an Islamic Europe within 30 years. The Muslim birth rate in the U.K. is growing faster than that in the rest of Europe. The socialist victory in Spain following the 2004 Madrid train bombing exemplified a lack of will by a European country to protect its Christian heritage. Will the U.K. follow Spain in appeasing Muslim terrorism? Multiculturalism fueled by lax borders is failing the people of the U.K. Apologists for terrorism bear the blame for the internal problems of the once mighty United Kingdom. There is still time for the U.K. to learn from the United States that lax borders can be as dangerous as open ones. Editor's note: Read more on this subject in related Hot Topics:
