Where Islamist Terrorism Really Comes From - Ed Husain
What was said
"On current trajectories, about 20% of Britain's mosques are controlled by Islamists. If we're defining Islamists as I did now, kind of based on their interpretation of Sharia and their definition for a state and their separatism, 20% of mosques."
Husain estimates one in five British mosques are under control of Muslim Brotherhood-aligned leadership advocating for Islamic state governance and rejection of British sovereignty. He calls for government confiscation of these properties and removal of leadership, citing precedent in Germany and Austria. An additional 50% of mosques support blasphemy laws incompatible with British freedoms, according to his research.
