THE ANNOUNCEMENT LAST WEEK that British authorities had arrested 14 people in an inquiry centered on terror training at an Islamic school and adjoining property in the idyllic landscape of Rotherfield, East Sussex, was good news. Then came the bad news: the Jameah Islamiyah school had been used 15 times by U.K. law enforcement for diversity and sensitivity training of its officers.

A friendly proximity of government officials and our terrorist adversaries is nothing new either in the United Kingdom or the United States. Still, how is it that a headquarters for radical Islamist indoctrination could be repeatedly used for training of British officers without anybody noticing something wrong in the school environment? Sussex county police responded with typical bureaucratic inertia, stating: “We are not embarrassed by our involvement with the school but, inevitably, this will have to be reviewed in the light of the weekend’s events.”
