Islamist militants have released a video in which they appear to call for terrorist attacks on some of the busiest shopping areas in the UK and US. In the footage, fighters from the al Shabaab group specifically mention Oxford Street, and give GPS coordinates for the Westfield shopping centres in Stratford and Shepherd's Bush. US authorities have said they are taking the threats seriously, while the Metropolitan Police told Sky News its Counter Terrorism Command is aware of the video and is assessing the content.
Several US shopping malls were also threatened in the video, which was released on Saturday. One of them, the Mall of America in Minnesota, has already increased security amid fears that radicalised Muslims could orchestrate an attack. The state is home to a sizeable Somali population.
We have let them create their own Communities over here and their own rules according to 'Sharia', is it any wonder these threats are occurring?

That isn't what is being said at all.
Just that we need to stop acting like there are these zones of the city where it is happening and nothing is being done about it.
I have no issue with this being treated as a real threat as it very well could be.
