Can you be sure of that?

Given that it is likely some of the grooming groups meet after prayers
in special little groups round the back of the mosque by invite only,
it's quite possible the congregation at large have not concrete
knowledge of what's going on.

The likes of Anjem Choudry might be happy to preach sharia in public and
be generally outspoken but I doubt he is stupid enough to tell the
congregation "death to the infidel" and "for more info, pop round back
at 8:30 where we'll have tea and a few videos from our brothers in Syria..."
