Great Britain, in recent times, has been very proud its successful integration of different cultures and ethnic groups from former Commonwealth nations into British society, all living happily together under progressive, liberal values. The British Empire may be long gone but the fact that the vast majority of people from the Commonwealth nations find some value and possess a measure pride in their connection with British culture represents a huge triumph for the British values. The streets of London may offer the sounds of reggae music or aromas of Indian cooking but those sounds and smells come from people happy for the most part to be British, and who are largely woven into the fabric of modern British society.
The Muslim radicals who condemn British culture, therefore, represent a dangerous, anamolous presence. Britain has no obligation to keep within its borders dangerous elements who reject the values, undermine the public order and social stability, and attack and threaten the security of their fellow citizens.
