Re: British culture

Well, I would not be worried by the fact that
Quote:
Britain’s Salafi Mosques had a collective capacity for a 44,994-strong membership
out of the 3.3 million Muslims in the U.K. (1.36%).

(and it’s not 44,994 membership, it’s that they have the capacity to have 44,994 members).

btw, from the source material for your link

About The Centre for the Response to Radicalisation and Terrorism (CRT)

The Centre for the Response to Radicalisation and Terrorism (CRT) is unique in addressing violent and non* violent extremism. By coupling high-quality, in-depth research with targeted and impactful policy recommendations, we aim to combat the threat of Islamism in our society.
Apparently, the only terrorists they are interested in countering are the Islamic ones...

The Henry Jackson Society is "the leading exponent of neoconservatism in the UK today grounded in a transatlantic tradition deeply influenced by Islamophobia and an open embrace of the ‘War on Terror’."

They have form in "over-egging the pudding"...

The Henry Jackson Society (HJS) has settled the High Court defamation claim brought by Huda Television Ltd (Huda), an educational television channel aimed at the UK Muslim community. In addition to paying libel damages to Huda plus legal costs, HJS has published a retraction of the allegations and an apology to Huda on the HJS website (where it will remain) and on Twitter.

Huda brought libel proceedings after HJS published a report titled “Extremism on the Airwaves: Islamist broadcasting in the UK”, with accompanying news release and Twitter promotion, on 21 November 2018. HJS, which describes itself as “a think tank that produces expert research on the threats to our security”, said that its report “explores how Islamist extremists use our broadcast networks to further their radical agenda.” Huda’s Claim contended that HJS had called for it to face more regulatory intervention based on false allegations about it hosting Islamist extremist content.

Following a consent order, the statement issued by HJS explains that HJS had alleged that Huda’s “channel regularly publishes content containing Islamist extremist subject matter” but that HJS accepted that “This was incorrect” and “No such content appears on Hua’s website”.

HJS also admitted that it was “wrong” to claim that Huda “almost ubiquitously host well-known extremist speakers” and that its claim that nine allegedly extremist speakers had appeared on the channel “was incorrect in relation to the majority of the speakers identified” who had not appeared on Huda at all.
