Andrew Gilligan writes on his Telegraph blog:
"No Islamist sympathiser in Bangladesh has unfettered control over a £1 billion budget. Bangladesh, in short, has less of a problem with Islamic radicals than Tower Hamlets."

Interesting to note what is going on in Tower Hamlets. This comes hot on the heels of the recent expose of Islamists at City University, which I have recently blogged.
But I wonder what Cameron and Clegg will say about these developments. My guess is that they will keep shtumm, and by doing so, will inevitably push voters into the arms of The EDL and BNP.
If our government is unwilling to speak out against home grown Islamists, then it is inevitable that other groups in the UK will fill the political vacuum.
Since this is a JC Blog, I would be interested to read Stephen Pollard's views. Does he think that the UK govt should be saying more about The Islamists, who are operating quite legally, within The UK?
Perhaps, Stephen has been told by the JC's owners (The Kessler Foundation) not to bring this matter up?
