Hundreds of British non-Muslims have been recruited by al-Qaeda to wage war against the West, senior security sources warned last night. 

As many as 1,500 white Britons are believed to have converted to Islam for the purpose of funding, planning and carrying out surprise terror attacks inside the UK, according to one MI5 source. 

Lord Carlile, the Government's independent reviewer of anti-terrorism legislation, said many of the converts had been targeted by radical Muslims while serving prison terms.

Security experts say the growing secret army of white terrorists poses a particularly serious threat as they are far less likely to be detected than members of the Asian community. 

One British security source last night told Scotland on Sunday: "There could be anything up to 1,500 converts to the fundamentalist cause across Britain.

They pose a real potential danger to our domestic security because, obviously, these people blend in and do not raise any flags. 

yep, a secret army of white terrorists & because they are secret, no-one knows how many there are, which means that there must be at least 1500 of them .... right?

No wonder everyone is so afraid of the so-called "intelligence" services.
