What is "radicalisation"?
This is what it is: it is taking Islam, the texts of Islam, fully to heart, and deciding to act upon them. That's what "radicalization" means. There are many Muslims who are, for now, living in the West, and unwilling to risk the good lives they have -- all the benefits they receive, not just the grants and the subsidies and the free education and the free health care so superior to anything offered in Muslim countries, but also the living in stable societies that, at least until the Muslim invasion, were temperate in their political climate, and well and securely run, by comparison with the hell-holes of Islam. So while they are perfectly willing, for now, not to act on the tenets of Islam to engage, directly, in violent Jihad, they are willing to use other instruments of Jihad, including that of propaganda -- or lying about the faith -- to continue to attempt to confuse and deceive unwary Infidels, for as long as possible.
Cameron and Clegg and Teresa May and others should be asked, publicly, to define "radicalization" among Muslims. Is there a different Qur'an that the "radicals" read? Different collections of the most "authentic" (based on the rankings given by the most respected muhaddithin, such as Bukhari and Muslim)? A different biography of Muhammad, the Perfect Man? No, the"radicals' read exactly the same Qur'an, the same Hadith, the same Sira. And the testimony of ever defector from Islam who has ever been able and willing, in the physical security that the West offers, is always the same: Islam is violent, Islam is dangerous, Islam is deceptive, Islam is based on an uncompromising division of the world between Believer and Unbeliever, Muslim and Infidel, and is obsessed with territory, with the further division of Dar al-Islam and Dar al-Harb, that is between the lands of where Muslims rule and what, for now, are still the lands of the Infidels. Between the two camps, according to the texts and tenets of Islam, there exists a state of permanent war, though not necessarily of open warfare on the battlefield. Islam teaches that the supreme duty of Muslims is to engage in Jihad, that is the "struggle" to remove all obstacles to the spread, and then the dominance, of Islam, so that ultimately, as is only right and just, Islam everywhere dominates, and Muslims rule, everywhere.
