...positively influenced by other Muslim leaders, parents, friends and teachers as well. The fight against terrorism will be won in the schools and mosques. And those institutions have not risen to meet their responsibilities. The young man in your article said he feels much closer to his jihadist brothers than to his family. Shame on the Muslim community for not taking responsibility for its children, for not doing whatever it takes to protect them from those who preach hatred and violence.

In a poll of British Muslims published last week, 4% of those surveyed said they believe "it is acceptable for religious or political groups to use violence for political ends." One official estimates there are at least 800 Muslims in Britain with jihadist leanings--half of whom are British citizens--who ought to be under surveillance or deported. Following last week's sweep, investigators are turning their attention to "the support networks for these men," says a police source. Until the networks are destroyed, says antiterrorism chief Clarke, "the threat remains and is very real...
