Britain 'is now biggest security threat to US'
By Francis Harris in Washington
(Filed: 29/08/2006)
Britain now presents a greater security threat to the United States than Iran or Iraq, an American magazine said yesterday.
In an article on Islamists headlined "Kashmir on the Thames", the New Republic painted Britain's Muslim communities as a breeding ground for violent extremism.
Citing recent opinion poll evidence suggesting that one in four British Muslims believed that last year's London Tube bombings were justified, the magazine said: "In the wake of this month's high-profile arrests, it can now be argued that the biggest threat to US security emanates not from Iran or Iraq or Afghanistan, but rather from Great Britain, our closest ally." |

Investor's Business Daily has already demanded an end to the programme because it "allows Pakistani Britons to dodge security background checks". |
Interesting.
I've been wondering when the US media was going to discuss this. Could the visa waver program be the next casualty of multiculturalism?
