I'd say that this falls under the rubric of "shouting fire in a theatre." Actually, it's more like shouting "I'm going to light the theatre on fire now, zionist infidels:"

In this former industrial town north of London, a small group of young Britons whose parents emigrated from Pakistan after World War II have turned against their families' new home. They say they would like to see Prime Minister Tony Blair dead or deposed and an Islamic flag hanging outside No. 10 Downing Street.

They swear allegiance to Osama bin Laden and his goal of toppling Western democracies to establish an Islamic superstate under Shariah law, like Afghanistan under the Taliban. They call the Sept. 11 hijackers the "Magnificent 19" and regard the Madrid train bombings as a clever way to drive a wedge into Europe.

Many in Europe still haven't quite realized that they are on the real front line in the war on terror. It will get much worse for them than it may ever get for the United States.* Bank on it.
