Twenty years after the 7/7 attacks, the U.K. is in a stronger position than ever before to combat the threats facing the country. While Islamic terrorism remains the gravest danger, it is followed closely by right-wing extremism, hostile states, and cybercriminals. In response to these evolving threats, the government has developed a host of strategies to ensure that catastrophes like this can never happen again.

On the twentieth anniversary of the 7/7 bombings, it is important to remember the casualties of that attack, but also reflect on the challenges faced by the British Muslim community ever since. As a result of aggressive counter-terrorism policies and rampant Islamaphobia, British Muslims feel increasingly socially isolated, which exacerbates the divides in British society and impedes efforts to build a united country.
