You do realize there's similar Christian groups, right? Of course they are allowed to take those actions...right?
Seriously, the fear mongering is strong in this thread
Yes but here in Britain Islam is a bigger threat and as for the fear mongering, I don't mean it to be that way.

I live in London fyi...and not once did I ever have a problem with a Muslim. In fact, many are my friends at college. I'm sure there's some bad apples, but there's bad Christians, atheists, Hindus, or other groups too.
As I said, I've lived in London for years, and never had an issue. Sure, there's interest groups, but there's Christian, Scientology, and other groups too. It's a free country, and as long as they don't negatively affect me (and non of them did so far), I don't see a problem.
What you're doing is condemning a whole people because of the actions of some of them. Doesn't seem fair, and doesn't seem right. So yeah, I do believe you're fear mongering, sorry.
On a side note, posts like this are exactly why a whole people get a bad rep. I had to fly to NYC a few weeks ago with a friend from Bahrain, and of course they had to spot check him...no racial profiling, riiiiiiight. The funny thing is, he's related to the ruling family and certainly doesn't dress like a terrorist. Hell, terrorism as a concept is harmful to his business. Most of them are just people like me and you.
How am I condeming a whole people? I am comdeming a group called the Muslim Brotherhood, a group that seeks to destroy our way of life. I believe that even "western Muslims" are under threat by this group. A lot of them come to the west to escape things like Sharia law only to have it follow them. They and us should be protected from radical groups like this.
Also why is it when you bring up any topic to do with Islam you are either a racist, a fear monger, a zenophobe............ not being able to debate and confront matters like this only make these groups (MB) stronger.

Hell just look at the middile east Muslims barring entry to other Muslims into the country (Egypt and Palistine).
You also need to take into account that there is not one centralised control of the religion like the Catholics. Granted there is Mecca/Sudia Arabia but the power and real control dont get much past the boarder as all the Iman's interperate the word of Allah differently to suit there own agenda's
So in my opinion they could never get together and follow such a plan over 1 day let alone 100 years.
