"You must fight and not accept anything but an Islamic state"

UK: Novelist could face "hate crime" charges for saying he despises "Islamism"

News item: Falling test scores blamed on Wikipedia, which is "littered with inaccuracies"

U.K.: "Radicalization" of Muslims "more widespread than previously feared"
Note how the emphasis in this story is entirely about what the British government ought to be doing to combat "radicalization" and "extremism," with virtually nothing about Muslim communities' responsibilities save the fact that many "distrust police and are reluctant...
