Be more British Cameron tells UK Muslims: PM issues powerful pledge

Muslim clerics in the UK who inflame terrorism by denouncing free speech, equality and democracy will be opposed in a ‘muscular’ new defence of ‘British values’, David Cameron has pledged.

In a powerful intervention clearly aimed mainly at ‘preachers of hate’, the Prime Minister says the failure to stand up to such firebrands has ‘allowed extremism – both the violent and non-violent kind – to flourish’.

He plans to use the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta – 12 months from today – to reassert British values in a ‘Magna Carta for Modern Britain.’

It is time to stop being ‘squeamish about Britishness’ and tell everyone who lives here that refusing to accept British laws and the British way of life is ‘not an option’, Mr Cameron argues.

Well! I guess he told them! I'm sure they will be acting much more "British" after this!

...like that's something they know how to do...

Obama would never say such a thing, he might offend them and make them mad at us. Obama is such a joke, I give Cameron credit for standing up for what is right, we need leadership like that.
