The best known Islamic terror organization is [[Al-Qaeda]], or "the base". It was founded by [[Osama bin Laden]] and [[Ayman al-Zawahiri]] in [[Afghanistan]] during the 1980s. There are, however, numerous other terror groups including [[Islamic Jihad]], [[Hamas]] and the [[Shia]] [[Hezbollah]]. The [[Islamic State]] is seen as the most brutal organization, even al-Qaeda distances from it.<ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-26016318</ref>

It would take a rechristianization of Britain in order for the Islamic terrorism situation to be turned around in the UK.]]
The United States website Homeland Security Digital Library published the article ''Islamist Terrorism in the UK: An In-Depth Analysis'':
{{Cquote|On March 7th the Henry Jackson Society, a British think tank, released a report titled, Islamist Terrorism: Analysis of Offenses and Attacks in the UK (1998-2015). As stated by author Hannah Stuart, the purpose of the report is to provide “information and statistical analysis on the manifestation and development of the threat to national security from Islamism-inspired terrorism.” According to the report, there have been 264 convictions of Islamism-inspired terrorism in the UK as a result of arrests made between 1998 and 2015. Interestingly, 72% of these Islamism-related offences (IROs) were committed by UK nationals or individuals holding dual British nationality, with the overwhelming majority being perpetrated by males. However, although their numbers remain small, female involvement in Islamism-inspired terrorism has tripled since 2011, with women accounting for 11% of all IROs occurring between 2011 and 2015. This represents a 175% increase from IROs occurring between 1998 and 2010 involving women.
The report goes on to discuss contemporary developments in terrorism, highlighting that “the expansion of the terrorism threat from that predominantly associated with AQ [al-Qaeda]-linked groups to one driven by IS [Islamic State] has been the key development since the publication of the previous edition of this report in 2011.” As such, the author concludes that terrorism inspired by the Islamic State currently represents the greatest threat to the UK’s national security. A brief overview of AQ is offered, which discusses the evolution of the terrorist group, including the creation and expansion of AQ franchises. Knowledge of this history is necessary to better understand both current trends in Jihadist-inspired terror attacks and the rise of the Islamic State.<ref>[https://www.hsdl.org/c/islamist-terrorism-in-the-uk-an-in-depth-analysis/ ''Islamist Terrorism in the UK: An In-Depth Analysis'']</ref>}}

Dr. Peter Hammond's article [http://www.virtueonline.org/what-islam-isnt-dr-peter-hammond What Islam Isn't] indicates:
{{Cquote|When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions ( Paris --car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Amsterdam - Mohammed cartoons).
*Guyana -- Muslim 10%
*India -- Muslim 13.4%
*Israel -- Muslim 16%
*Kenya -- Muslim 10%
*Russia -- Muslim 10-15%
After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning: Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%<ref>[http://www.virtueonline.org/what-islam-isnt-dr-peter-hammond What Islam Isn't]</ref>}}
