Her går Cameron længere end nogen anden europæisk leder hidtil, men når man tænker på det sene tidspunkt og på at han ikke har noget valg, er man behersket imponeret. Indtil der kommer kød på til august, kunne man kalde talen “forsøg på feberredning.” Douglas Murray skriver i The Spectator:
Another crucial shift in emphasis is in relation to the whole question of how to address the religious elephant in the room. For many years, after any and every terrorist attack, Prime Ministers, politicians and police chiefs have said that Islamist violence has ‘nothing to do with Islam.’ Now finally David Cameron has found a way to correct this misleading statement and said of Islamist violence, ‘To deny it has anything to do with Islam means you disempower the critical reforming voices.’ This is a vital change in emphasis.
In all I have only one major criticism of the speech. The Prime Minister is right to stress all the things that civil society – including Muslim communities, university heads and the National Union of Students – needs to do. But there are some things which only government can do. One which is noticeably absent in this speech is stopping the state’s insane support for hate preachers who live on benefits. The PM knows this problem exists and he needs at some point to address it.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali og Daniel Greenfield kommenterer talen
Wollt ihr den totalen Krieg, bøsser og tøser?

Det er altid såre interessant at deltage i arrangementer, som af the establishment (herunder journaliststanden) bliver opfattet som ikke-mainstream, og det der er værre – og som derfor efterfølgende med stor sandsynlighed kan regne med en eller anden form for nedgøring eller latterliggørelse i medierne. Senest har Leny Malacinski begået reportagen ‘Intet land skal dø frivilligt’ (Weekendavisen d.10.7.15) fra den nationalkonservative folkefest på Mosbjerg ved Skanderborg d. 4. juli.
