Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” BBC’s Katty Kay said the radicalization of British muslims is a “big problem” adding there could be as many as 3,000 jihadist with British passports currently fighting in Syria and Iraq with ISIS.

Kay said, “The radicalization of Muslims in Britain, it’s a much bigger problem than it is here. Conservative estimates are suggesting 500 British jihadist, there could be as many as 3,000. One British MP said there are more Muslims from Britain fighting for jihad than there are fighting in the British Army. That’s an indication of how much of a problem it is.”
