Undercover work in Muslim community exposes their loathing of the West
BBC:
This highlights the need to monitor what is happening in the radical mosques in this country too. In all of the meetings the undercover officer never heard a word os dissent from those listening to the Muslim preachers of hate.
A long-running undercover police operation in the Bedfordshire town of Luton, which has contributed evidence to a recent counter-terrorism trial, helped build up an incredibly detailed picture of the depths of loathing for Britain felt by the men at the heart of the investigation.There is much more.

"You hate him with a passion. Don't feel sorry for any Britons in Tunisia. Don't feel sorry for any factory workers in France. Don't feel sorry for any temple worshippers in Kuwait."
Mohammed was never charged in relation to that speech - but it was not the only one sowing division.
Days later in a meeting held in the town's St Margaret's Church, another speaker, Mohammed Alamgir, said: "The sun has already set on the British Empire and the sun has started to rise for this Islamic State.
"Freedom and democracy is dead… a handful of Muslims, the so-called extremists and the so-called terrorists, they've succeeded in destroying the ideology of the kuffar."
