If American leadership was looking for a case study on "what not to do" in addressing the challenge of Islamic supremacism, it would need to look no further than the United Kingdom. But in the chorus of denial on the challenge of Islamic supremacism, there are many who (frighteningly) believe that the United Kingdom offers ideas and research that could be valuable in counterterrorism measures in the United States. In fact, if America continues to pursue an approach of denial on Islamic supremacism, comparable to that of the United Kingdom's, it could well go down its same disastrous path.

The symptoms of the United Kingdom's disastrous policies on Islamic supremacism can be seen in the June 22, 2008 London Times where Sir Simon Jenkins writes that: "[t]he Taliban's chief objective is not world domination but a share of power in Afghanistan... [and that the Taliban] offer the best hope of beating Al-Qaeda." (Of course, the Taliban's objectives are to work towards a Sharia-based Islamic supremacist global caliphate, one country at a time, just as Al-Qaeda.) Such symptoms can also been seen in the recent comments by Sir Hugh Orde (frontrunner to be the next commissioner of Metropolitan Police) that UK should negotiate with Al-Qaeda. Most importantly, such symptoms can be seen in the repeated attempts by British Jihadists to commit mass casualty terrorist attacks in April 2001, December 2001, and 2006 on the United States homeland, and the position of the United Kingdom as the "focal point for Islamic terrorism across Europe." The disastrous United Kingdom approach to addressing Islamic supremacism has made it one of the most dangerous countries in the world, and a continuing serious threat to America's national security.

But among the chorus in denial on the threat of Islamic supremacism, the efforts of the United Kingdom to try to "engage" its Muslim community to discourage Muslims from "extremism" seem attractive. The UK Home Office's Jonathan Allen recently summarized this approach to a George Washington University panel on homeland security issues that Muslims don't need to agree with United Kingdom foreign policies to share UK's position on being against such "criminals" as Jihadists. Last winter, the United Kingdom government also developed its own "terror lexicon" where terms such as "Jihad," "Islamism," etc., would no longer be used, and the London police force started instructing its officers on Sharia law.

While there is a plethora of detail on tactics involving British Jihad and Islamism (much of which I address at the web site "British Jihad and Islamism Watch"), my focus in this article is on how the ideological challenges have failed in the United Kingdom, and why such failures must not be replicated to address tactical efforts in counterterrorism in the United States.

The United Kingdom strategies against Islamic supremacism have failed precisely because they have been consistently weak on the issue of Islamic supremacism as an ideology. Historically, the United Kingdom looked the other way for decades as Islamic supremacists infiltrated the United Kingdom, set up Islamic supremacist organizations, publicly threatened violence, and developed a European logistics base within the United Kingdom. The UK immigration policies were considered so lax that Osama Bin Laden applied for asylum to move to the UK in 1995 as a safe haven for his Al Qaeda operations, while Bin Laden was planning the "Bojinka plot". Had Bin Laden managed to immigrate to the UK, or had Dhiren Barot's British Jihadist gang managed to successfully attack New York City prior to the 9/11 attacks, it well may have been the United Kingdom that the U.S. had to deal with rather than Afghanistan.

During the decades of the United Kingdom's alleged "Gentleman's Agreement" with Islamic supremacists, other European nations were furious with UK's asylum for such supremacists and UK's unwillingness to crack down on this ideology. Many Europeans called the UK "Londonistan" due to its growing status as a logistics base, planning hub, and asylum center for Islamic supremacists throughout Europe. After the 9/11 attacks, Islamic supremacists such as al-Muhajiroun held conferences and rallies in "honor" of the "magnificent 19" who attacked America on 9/11, and Islamic supremacists became increasingly public and bold in their threats towards the Western world, encouraged by Al-Qaeda's attacks on America, and empowered by the UK's unwillingness to crack down on them.

It wasn't until the United Kingdom itself was attacked on July 7, 2005 in the London subway and bus bombings that the UK was sufficiently incentivized to "crack down" on Islamic supremacists. In a recent interview in Lebanon with Omar Bakri Mohammed, he stated that after the July 2005 bombings, the UK government "violated the 'Covenant of Security' (Aqd Al-Amaan) that had hitherto guaranteed peace between Muslims and the British state." But this did not last long. A few years after inconsistent efforts to crack down on Islamic supremacist organizations, the UK government concluded that it was facing a bigger problem than it could handle. The estimates of the numbers of Islamic supremacist terrorists and supporters being monitored by the UK MI5 domestic intelligence agency have varied - ranging from 1,200 to 4,000 -- but the fundamental problem is that the UK MI5 and the UK government feel overwhelmed by the task and gravity of their threat. (Of course, the UK has no historical experience in facing a challenge like the 4 million member Ku Klux Klan white supremacist terrorist group in the United States.)

So in an effort to reinvent old policy, today's UK has gone to a "War on Criminals" mode (since they won't use the word "Jihadists"), continuing to avoid recognizing the threat of Islamic supremacism as an ideology, and continuing to tolerate Islamic supremacist organizations (such as Hizb ut-Tahrir), while using terminology and public relations efforts (such as training Bobbies on Sharia) to convince British Muslims not to accept "extremism" or to support "criminals." In fact, this "new policy" is not much more different from the "old policy" on Islamic supremacist ideology, except that if Islamic supremacists make direct, public, and prosecutable threats, then they can expect to be arrested, at least until they are turned loose again.

This "new strategy" by UK is not intended to confront Islamic supremacism as an ideology at all, which is why the chorus of denial on Islamic supremacism find it so attractive. It is only intended to discourage and temporarily disrupt Islamic supremacist terrorist plots from being actualized on a rolling basis. What the UK government fails to appreciate is that it can't simply keep its ship of state afloat by endlessly bailing water as the hole in the bottom continues to grow larger. So with every new Sharia court established in the UK, with every new instance where British courts accepts Sharia, with every new pronouncement that Sharia law should be accepted, with every new comment that the Taliban and Al-Qaeda should be negotiated with, the empowerment of Islamic supremacism continues to grow as an ideology that can affect change within the United Kingdom. While the UK government believes that such "tolerance" and "understanding" of Islamic supremacism defuses violence, it fails to understand that weakness in its national values encourages others to gravitate to stronger, more defined values, such as Islamic supremacism.

Furthermore, the UK's history in conflict management over a foreign empire is one that ultimately concluded in constant defeat of Britain in region after region, resulting in a culture of conflict avoidance by the mid 20th century. Such conflict avoidance with Nazi Germany supremacists nearly cost the UK its national sovereignty, and those who demonize pre-WWII UK Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain should recognize that he represented a view common in British society at that time, and which has sadly been revitalized today.

While the chorus of denial on Islamic supremacism points to the UK experiments in "engaging" its Muslim society as a laudable example to be followed, it must be remembered that it is the American historical experience and commitment to sacrifice for the equality against supremacist organizations that is our most valuable lesson. It must be remembered that the UK continues to represent one of the greatest threats by Islamic supremacism towards the United States in the world - with repeated mass-casualty terrorist attack attempts by British Jihadists against the United States homeland. The last country (except perhaps for Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, or Iran) that the United States should seek to "learn lessons" from should be the United Kingdom.

Unlike the United States, the United Kingdom had no Abraham Lincoln, no Emancipation Proclamation, no Gettysburg Address, no words "all men are created equal" chiseled in marble in a memorial in the heart of its capital. It simply is not the same country as the United States. In America's Declaration of Independence from the United Kingdom, our fundamental differences were clearly stated in the defiant declaration of the ideal that "All Men Are Created Equal."

Our beloved values ensure that America's population knows what it means to be "American." Does the UK's population know what it means to be "British"? The UK's history in the Magna Carta is focused on "liberty," but not necessarily equality. Liberty is only half of the equation of freedom, equality is the other completing half of freedom that provides the values to truly challenge any supremacist i
