I don't think the welfare state is to blame but I do think the authorities have been remiss in failing to take proper account of the potential for disruption and worse by certain of those who've been given safe haven here and the freedom to preech their hatred etc.

Maybe. However I believe the 7/7 bombers were home grown and their 'radicalisation' would have been from many sources as well as international affairs. It's makes little difference, in my opinion, if the preachers that may help that process are in a Mosque in London or transmitting via the Internet from Pakistan.
The problem of islamic terrorism is a global one and not a localised one brought about by our welfare state. It does of course grate that someone who hates our country so much still wants the support of it but this simply shows them up for the buffoons and hypocrites they are rather than cause any real harm to the country itself. They are bumbling fools that belong in the world of sitcom rather than drama.
Again, The ones to worry about seem to make little dent on the world until they have committed their murderous acts.
