A fascnating documentary buried away in the depths of the internet with sadly only 11 views, made by JREF's very own Jon Ronson. This follows a year in the life of Omar Bakri, one of the main inspirations for todays 'Londonistan'. In this documentary you see young versions of todays 'respectable' Islamists, who appear on Newsnight and such, including Ahjem Choudary, interviewed by the BBC on 9/11.

The larger question is, is 'Londonistan' a fair title? I dislike the name, as I feel it whips up cultural rather than religous connotations, but any member of the security agency feels that the greatest threat to Britain is not from overseas, but from within our own borders, from our own citizens. I was recently talking to a man from the anti-terrorism branch, and he mentioned that the trail in April 2008, with the translatlantic liquid bomb plotters of 2006, will show how far Britain has come in being the home of radical Islam in the West, and how close they were to pulling off the largest terrorist attack ever in history.

Why doesn't the term Londonstan conjure up a political connotation rather than just religious or cultural ones?

For example, look who managed to get the Teddy Bear teacher out of the soup in the Sudan. Was it the PM? The Home Secretrary? The Queen? The Archbishop of Canterbury? the British Ambassador to the Sudan? No, none of these.

It was two politicians from England who just happened to be muslims.
