A horrifying glimpse into the danger from islamic Jihadists that surround us in the west. From a British Intelligence report in the wake of the attack in Manchester we find that there are 23,000 Jihadist extremists living in the UK and 3000 of them pose an active threat! The UK is not the only country with a problem either as Michael’s list of statistics underscores.
