Yes. Let us hope there is no IRA style reprisal on these guys. What they do is not without risk.

Greetings moonwoolf!

These guys are growing out of their teenage brainwashing. One of the founders of Quilliam, Ed Hussain, wrote a book called "The Islamist" ISBN 978-0-141-03043-2. It is an insight into the problems that UK face and have yet to face post the London bombings terrorism. I recommend it.
