"Islamic terrorism is real. But the notion of an Islamic terrorist threat to society is the product of our own insecure imaginations. Is the terrorist threat facing the UK, the USA and the West today real and mortal, or is it exaggerated, even invented? This debate swings back and forth with events. When warnings of planned acts of terrorism proved unfounded, as with the London ‘ricin plot’ or the alleged plot to blow up Old Trafford football ground, or when a high-profile police terror raid comes up empty-handed as recently in Forest Gate, the sceptics and cynics have the upper hand and accusations of political scaremongering ring out."
